History
Short background:
(Same as Tamaki’s leading up to their mother’s death)
Being extremely close to her mother, Tara encased herself in a stoic shell after her mother’s death. Demetre was unwelcoming to the siblings after his wife passed, so instead, Tamaki raised her. He worked small jobs aside from his attempts of getting into a medical school so he could pay for her meals. In turn, when she was old enough, she ran a few errands for pay, and then eventually dropped out of high school at 15 in order to focus more on performing jobs to ease the financial and labor burden on her brother.
When Tamaki graduated from high school and went off to medical school, she couldn’t help but feel saddened. Although she never admitted it, she grew quite fond of her brother and couldn’t stand being separated from him for prolonged periods of time. However, he made note to head home and visit her every opportunity he had.
Because of Tamaki’s pursuit in his medical career and low financial funds, Tara decided to move back home with Demetre. Considering her father often left home for days on end without even mentioning where he planned on going to her, Tara lived alone for nearly six years while Tamaki was at medical school, occasionally being visited by him. However, when she heard that Demetre forced Tamaki into a band of criminals, she quickly followed; figuring that they were better off together, even if it meant for her to reside with an infamous gang.
Personality:
Tara doesn’t openly express her feelings, but she’s more than willing to voice her opinion. She’s known for her bluntness, which often results in cruel, painfully truthful comments that often have habit of stabbing the receiver right in the heart. She has a bit of a smart mouth, and finds it hard to not spit out spiteful comments or replies. She finds it difficult to grow close to people—or even be considerate to those who aren’t on her shit list—and even if she does become close to someone, she doesn’t outwardly show it. Unlike normal signs of fondness, a punch on the shoulder or a shove speaks volumes of affection coming from her.
Tara is rather apathetic and usually gives minimal concern when something is addressed regarding her. She may be considered “laid back”, but frankly, she rarely gives a damn about anything. She worries little, and usually doesn’t stress out, even under immense pressure. She can become quite reckless and usually considers her safety to be among her bottom priorities.
She has a hot-temper and it doesn’t take much to get her heated. She’s very combative and will use nearly any reason to start a fight—be it a verbal or physical one. On the battle field, she’s a seasoned killer and isn’t afraid to harm on impulse. Although she may appear sadistic, she isn’t necessarily fond of killing. But then again, she isn’t against it, either.

RP Sample:
Sun filtered in through the blinds of the fifteen-year-old’s bedroom. The flaxen haired girl laid face-down on her comforter as the shafts of sunlight warmed her back. It was noon, yet she had no intentions of getting up from her bed. If she had it her way, she’d lie like that all day; yet she knew she’d be interrupted at some point. It was quiet. Too quiet.
Silent footfalls resulted in a groan from her as her door flew open, revealing a boy with matching flaxen hair and a stolid, yet gentle face that was aged with adolescent maturity. The boy, two years older than her, strode quietly to her side to perch on the edge of her bed.
In a way, he was like her father; large hands, broad back, a long face. But she never wanted to see the resemblance to him and her father. Her father was an inconsiderate bastard. So, instead, he was like her mother; strong, yet nurturing, with unwavering sapphire eyes that held within them the brightest shimmer tucked away with cold blue tones.
His hand lightly worked its way through her uncombed hair to untangle her knots. “Hey, sis,” he began quietly, smoothing out her hair. “I know you’re on your period, but is there anything I can do to get on your good side?”
Tara almost felt her brother’s presence relaxing until he opened his mouth. He had a habit of ruining peaceful moods. Raising her head from her blanket, she slowly turned her face toward him. Shooting him one of her signature glares, her mouth twitched upward into an annoyed smirk. “Are you implying I have a bad side?”
