Tala

radishleaf

full elf whose elven name is tala ti'schendi, but she prefers her human name, shakuntala tischendorf, and has done all she could to be known by it
still goes by tala, but as a nickname, however
it's not depicted in her current art, but she walks with a cane
she says the injury was sustained from a fall from a cliff, but it's a clear lie
gay gay gaaaaay, but only has eyes for her wife, laela
the butch to laela's femme; you will never seen her in a dress as it's all suits, vests, and high collars for her
has a pensive, introspective, and deliberating personality offset by laela's more extroverted flair
what drew tala to her wasn't her personality, however, but her brilliance; laela being a prodigy in magic trumped everything tala could do
since her mother said to "never to entertain the company of those beneath you," tala was intrigued to find someone better than her
laela was just Big Gay for tala, tho, because Hot Lady In Suit Is Talking To Me
the married in secret when laela's family disapproved of the union
part of laela's interest in pursuing magic turned from talent in the craft to creating her own spells
due to the life disparity between tala (a full elf) and laela (a human), laela managed to create a spell that could extend her life at the cost of absorbing it from others
the depths of devotion between these two was the cause; tala admitted that the day laela passed, she'd probably take her own life, while laela couldn't live with the thought tala would do so come her passing
