Taera is a woman of many talents. Familiar with combat, divine magics, is an avid reader, and a polyglot. She knows how to survive in the wilderness and the extremes of the world. In doing so she has gained an abundance of skills, all while encountering horrors and wounds that she will never heal from, but largely does not regret.
In her life she has been wronged by many, and she has fought her way through the world for those who can't fight for themselves. She has learned its wiser to listen rather than speak, and tends not to speak unless spoken to. She knows the worth of her abilities and will not tolerate condescension towards herself. But when one stands their ground they will always encounter resistance, and despite her confidence in her abilities the terrors she has experienced make her fearful- wary of anyone and anything, and is keen on keeping everyone away from her. Trying to get Taera to open up to you is a monumental task that very few have succeeded in.
In BULWARK she is has reached the lowest of the low, feeling constantly cornered and threatened. Even in a space of comparative safety, she can't let her guard down for a second- trading physical dangers and threats for a minute to catch her breath that stretches for eternity as she attempts to process and internalize the last 40 years of her life. Its horrible. And its hard. It'd be easier if she'd let people in.

BULWARK
Taera is tired. She's spent her entire life protecting others and putting her life in the way of danger and violence and its left her exhausted. She's been revived from the dead more times than she can count by her angelic love, Herja. It's left her quite literally haunted and rotting. Now technically amongst the living dead (the very thing she swore to protect others from) and eternally tired from a lifetime of pain, she's fled across the world to hide from her old life and new enemies.
Hurt, paranoid, and deeply traumatized, she is introduced to Myrtle Hapaloch . A man unafraid of the reluctant, stony demeanor she brings to his doorstep, and offers her a place to sleep and work to pay her keep. Through him, Taera meets Cordelia Hapaloch, a witch who can sense emotions, and can feel the ghostly magics that surround Taera. She's frustrated by the witch's insistence on getting to know her and offering to help her- but Taera can't help but be charmed.
You can only hide behind illusion magic and half-truths for so long when you're amongst witches. . .
HERJA
[ Partner ] Over a decade ago they made a pact together to mutually further their goals of justice and protection, its since grown into more, and are largely inseparable.
MYRTLE HAPALOCH
[ Employer ] Thanks for the roof over her head, warm food in her stomach, and a motivation for a new purpose in life. Sorry for fucking your mom.
CORDELIA HAPALOCH
[ Partner ] Learning to trust again starts with one woman reaching out to a stranger in kindness.
