<strong>Name:</strong>Tally Watson<br/><strong>Tribe:</strong>Ithaeur<br/><strong>Auspice</strong>Bone Shadows<br/>Character Sheet (http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/11762?message=true)<br/><br/><strong>Personality/other</strong>Tally is a quiet curious woman, she enjoys nothing more than sitting down and reading a book on various subjects, or going out and experiencing it for herself. She is very loyal, and not easily angered or worried. When she feels something is not right with her interests she goes forth to discover whatever has caused the imbalance.<br/><br/>Having gone through the change in her late teens, she has since learned many new things from both her tribe and "friends" she's met along the way. Always eager for knowledge she learned to handle weapons, and her gifts as well as a few other things. She takes her training and studies of the spiritual world seriously, and prefers not to be interrupted when a particular subject has truly caught her eye.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span></strong><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii89/CowGoil08/tally.jpg)</div><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Backstory</span></strong><br/><em>Tally hurried through the park, her dark eyes focused and determined. She'd seen her again, that girl. The strange girl who'd been following her around since she was a kid. Why after all this time had she decided to reappear? She knew what she was, she'd done enough of her own studying to uncover it. Taking a slow deep breath she kept going, willing the girl away. It wasn't that she was scared of her, it was that any time the girl was around strange things would happen. <br/><br/>Nothing bad really, but things would fall, or people would see her trying to talk to no one that was there. One time, Tally remembered, the girl had appeared in the passenger seat of her car, and she nearly ran off the road. But that was a while back, this was now. She was used to seeing her, unafraid for the most part when she appeared. "Please just go away." she begged the girl who only skipped ahead of her, that same solemn look plastered on her face as before, her braids bouncing against her back. <br/><br/>A soft rustle in the bushes made her pause as she stepped from the path into the middle of the park. The sky was clear tonight, beautiful really with the way the moon was. A crescent, half sleeping, or better yet, a mischevious smile. Looking to the bushes she shook her head, swearing she smelled something strange. A pain shot through her stomach and vanished just as quickly, and she gasped for air. It had felt almost as though she'd been ripped in two for a second. <br/><br/>Looking around she tried to find that little girl, but she was gone. Another pain over took her and she screamed out, clutching her head this time as it resounded through there. Her eyes welled with tears as she dug into her scalp as thoughs trying to pull her head of her own shoulders. Next, her legs gave out and she found herself writhing on the ground, screaming in agony. But then her screaming vanished, she couldn't utter a noise, not one single noise.  <br/><br/>"Oh god how can this be happening." Tally thought to herself as the pain ripped through her. Had she really messed things up this time?Had she truly fallen so far from grace that she was to die a horribly painful death? What was happening to her. Her fingers gripped at the hard earth beneath her, a silent scream issuing from her lips as she felt as though she were being ripped and stretched. Her fingers began to claw at her own flesh, almost as if to rip it away from her and her fingers felt something strange. <br/><br/>Oh gods, was that fur? Was she growing fur, what the fuck was happening? She screamed again, no sound coming out once more. She could smell something, wet dog, and...something else. What was it? Was she being rolled onto her back? Her eyes were weilded shut from the pain. Was someone rubbing her. The pain rippled even more as whoever it was began to stroke her head. But it wasn't a hand, at least,it didn't feel like one. The smell of wet dog and something more travelled through her senses, and a low howl resounded in her ear. <br/><br/>Her eyes opened wide at that point, her mouth as well as she started to scream. The wolf looked to her, giving a soft wimpering noise as though to say "I know your pain." It was only then she realized it, she'd called him to her, beckoned him. What she thought were silent screams had been howls, unheard through her agony. A tongue lapped at her forehead and she gave one last scream before everything went black.<br/><br/>Sometime later, she's not sure how long, Tally awoke, her eyes focused, and her mind racing. Any trace of the pain from before was gone, but something warm shifted against her and she gave a soft shriek. It smelled human. Shaking her head she moved back, only to brush into something, or rather someone else. Where the hell was she. A grunt had her turning her head, her eyes focusing on the dim light that came from beneath the door. Carefully she snuck over, peering beneath the door, another grunt issuing beneath it. <br/><br/>"If you're not going to rest, come out here."A gruff voice said behind the door, and she did as it said, looking back only once to see two other worn out looking nude forms resting as she had been. Their hair shuffled, their face blotted with blood and dirt, and something felt as though it were not their own blood she was seeing. Looking down at herself her eyes widened, "What the hell, where are my clothes?" she said, though her voice was dry, hoarse sounding. <br/><br/>The man who'd been sitting at the counter rose up, smiling at her, "We'll have to get you some, for now you may wear this. Have a seat and drink all that water and I'll explain everything." he said tossing his own shirt to her, his tone bare chest showing many scars that reminded her of claw marks. It was sometime later after he'd explained everything to her that the others woke up and he further explained what was to be done from now on.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>3 Months later<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Tally looked down at the small locket that lay between her breast, her fingers tracing it lightly. The other two who had gone through their first change were gone, with tribes of their own, having completed their initiations and now. It was her turn. Taking a deep breath she waited in silence that little girl dancing some distance away that solemn looked plastered to her face. The others looked to the girl as well, "We should banish her; send her from this world, but if you wish to see her leave it peacfully, uncover what it is she wishes." The elder told her, and Tally only gave a nod in reply.<br/><br/>The only problem with their task was that the girl didn't seem to speak, even with their knowledge of the first tongue, nor with hers. And so she began to research, looking into how she'd come across the locket herself, she'd even tried searching for the girl herself and that's when things became interesting. It seemed that the girl had gone missing shortly after a fire in their small home, but no body was ever found. Her mother, who'd been searching for a long time had been driven mad trying to find the girl. <br/><br/>The small bus creaked as Tally rode towards the asylum, her dark eyes focused on the girl who seemed to know where shewas going. As the bus pulled up out front the girls eyes grew wider almost excited as Tally stepped off, pulling her pack up more, "Are we going to see mommy?" she asked, her voice filled with sorrow. Tally drew in a breath, had the girl just spoken after all this time? Maybe this was what she wanted. To see her mom again before she left. Not wanting to be seen talking to herself right outside a nuthouse she only nodded and moved forward, brushing the necklace once more.<br/><br/>"Her names Sarah. Sarah Wright!!!!" the girl said excitedly and Tally relayed her message to the receptionist, who looked rather worried. "Yes, Miss Sarah is here, but....are you family?" Tally nodded and after a bit of talking the woman agreed to five minutes. As they walked down the halls, she forced a light smile upon her features knowing the woman had been through enough pain to last a lifetime. "Sarah, hunny you have a guest." And the woman looked back expectantly, only to turn around the moment she saw Tally.<br/><br/>"I'll be back in a few minutes." the woman said before leaving, "Hi Sarah." she said reaching back to unlatch the necklace. "I have something for you, and so does  Lacey." The older woman sat up, looking back with searching eyes as Tally held out the necklace, "Here, this is from Lacey." she said, setting the necklace down. The girl was dancing around her mother, though the woman didn't see that, "She's here...my Lacey girl, she's here..." Tally only nodded as the woman clung to the necklace, "Keep that near you and she'll always be near..." Tally said before she opened the door and walked out. <br/><br/>As she stepped outside the asylum, one of the elders met her, a look of approval upon her features. "Well done, and welcome." She said giving Tally's shoulder a firm squeeze before she walked off motioning for Tally to follow. <br/></em><br/>
