Placing this here becaaaause I need some references to help keep my story straight.
Name: Tahlia Butler
Age: 25
Background: The Butler family has had a long history, serving and protecting many wealthy patrons throughout the generations. The family’s history can be traced back centuries. They began as humble servants to nobility, however, as their patrons rose in power, the Butlers subsequently rose in status and skill. There have been many practices passed down from one head of the house to another. Males proudly bore the Butler surname while the females allowed worthy partners to change theirs. All Butler children, eventually, became trained in the same skills, regardless of their gender.
To the world, the Butler family has posed as mere servants to the wealthy, advisors and assistance to those who had the coin and desire to utilize their company. However, the truth lies farther beneath the surface. The Butler legacy thrived thanks to leaders who ruled the underground. Their name was known far and wide to those who operated with the black market. People searched far and wide for quality employees, and though the Butlers were paid top dollar for their service, they were worth every penny.
Tahlia was the youngest of three, and the only girl. Her older brothers, twins by the names of George and James, were considered prodigious studies. George had a brilliant mind while James excelled in physical endeavors. Tahlia , four years their junior, was nothing in comparison and spent much of her time training so she could be considered an adequate Butler.
Due to her namesake, she quickly began finding work from a young age, but she preferred short term contracts that allowed freedom and flexibility. She loved to travel and happily took on jobs that took her far from home. Easily bored and eager to learn, she has had the privilege of acquiring proficiency in many skills but doesn't personally consider herself a master at anything.
After graduating high school, she enrolled in a university with the intention of becoming a doctor. Her parents were thrilled, but the enthusiasm was short lived. After completing an associate in science, Tahlia called it quits and devoted herself to training.
Tahlia and Dane’s anniversary is August 16th.
Tahlia’s birthday is September 21st.
Age 18: Graduates high school. Enrolls in Ivy League school to become a doctor.
Age 20: Completes two year degree and drops out of school. Devotes self to learning family business. Meets Dane shortly before 21st birthday.
Age 25: Gets sucked into Never Realm.
Personality: Tahlia prefers to let her actions speak for themselves. A woman in her industry is often looked down upon as “less than” or inadequate, and she doesn't mind playing that to her advantage. Tahlia is naturally quiet and observant by nature, but she is also quite the talented actress and liar. She prefers to save her words, allowing her silence to speak volumes instead of wasting her breath in a situation. She can, however, get fired up and has been known to act rashly from time to time.
Strengths: Tahlia has many. She can cook and clean just as well as any servant with a fine attention to detail. She has sharp eyesight and a steady hand, which have proven handy in the past. Her preferred method of killing is long range, but she has been trained in Krav Maga for closer combat scenarios. She has basic medical skills and can deal with a variety of emergency situations. In addition to English, she specializes in speaking the Romance languages, namely Spanish, French, and Italian. She has limited knowledge of certain other Asian languages but is not fluent in any. She’s also quite a skilled dancer.
Weaknesses: For every strength, she has two weaknesses she doesn't want anyone to know about. She has a tendency to get addicted to things, namely cigarettes and caffeine. She enjoys living life and often uses the motto “it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.” When she isn't working (and sometimes when she is), she enjoys indulging in things like shopping, chocolate, and men, but not necessarily in that order. She’s skeptical and hard headed and certainly doesn't believe in many things (love and luck being two of them).
She puts on a bold front but is secretly insecure and has a hard time trusting anyone. Though she is fit and fast, she is small and her physical strength is nothing incredible. She plans things out to a certain extend but prefers to go wherever the wind takes her, which doesn't always work out for the best. Truth be told she isn't the best driver but usually manages somehow. She fits the stereotype of an Asian woman who can't park but wouldn't hesitate to put someone in their place if they said something about it. She loves baked goods but couldn't bake to save her own life.

Tahlia is the black sheep of the family, quite literally. Her mother is an Asian woman, born and bred, who fell for a mysterious European stranger while he was stationed overseas for a time being. Her two brothers are mixed but they have much lighter skin tones. Tahlia’s always had somewhat of a resentment about her darker complected skin. She stands almost 5’4” and weighs a whopping 125 pounds due to her lean frame and toned muscles from constant training and physical activity.
Other: Though typically underrated and under appreciated, Tahlia is a gifted musician, performer, and artist. On the piano, she is a virtuoso and enjoys picking up instruments for fun. She has perfect pitch and can easily learn a new instrument. If she had been born to a different family, she probably would have pursued her creative talents but her family often scolded her development of the arts as they didn't align with the family business and certainly didn't pay as well.
