The automatied distress beacon remained, as did power to some of the stasis units; Taria's among them. The Lingshen Halfling scrappers who found and hauled the ship in years later were amazed to find these survivors, and welcomed them home, such as it was; Lingshen was a world of deep forests and isolated cities, where the small natives were on constant guard against wild beasts claiming the planet for their own.<br/><br/>The young catfolk thought she was content enough on this world, until her training brought her into orbital space. The smooth curve of Lingshen's horizon, the far points of stars, and the silvery-blue glow of hte system's distant, hot sun called to her in a way he'd never heard before. The Song of the Stars, the Lingshen faithful called it, the voice of Desna calling to all her scattered, wandering children.<br/><br/>Taria needed to be out there, exploring the stars, meeting the other peoples dotting the galaxy. With little more than a platcred in her pocket and a netsack on her shoulder, she stepped through the airlock into Lingshen's orbiting spaceport, and never looked back.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Taria is inquisitive, cocksure, and a little naive. Yes, she<em>has</em>heard the phrase "curiosity killed the cat" and she's pretty sick of it. Though usually irreverent and quick-humored, she takes her faith in Desna very seriously. She's nearly never at a loss for solutions to problems - but makes no guarantee that they are the<em>correct</em>solutions. Though gregarious, she absolutely loves exploring and scouting; it gives her an opportunity to show off her skills.
