For as thin as it looks its very thick and soft. Her eyes are amethyst violet and very bright. All her emotions come out in them.

Weaknesses:When spooked/scared poofs into an animal but its not of her choice, loves alcohol, and Shiny things attract her attention.
Weapon: Quarterstaff(3 years, mildly proficient) and Bow(2 years, a bit under average)
Personality: Tara has a very easy going attitude and is happy a lot of the time. She's not easily put down and is always there for her friend's. She doesn't believe in being down and is very firm in believing if ever sad, just make brownies.
Bio:Shape shifting was a much more prominent in the past with Gypsies. The blood lines have dwindled to random genetic bursts within the different bands of the players. Tara is the first in her band since her great uncle to inherit the gift of shape shifting and has since learned as much as she could.
Her abilities have specific parameters:-She can only transform into what she already has the anatomical knowledge of. (I.E. Feline: She must know the bone structure, optical limits, and physical limits. Canine: Bone structure, sensory limits and abilities, and physical abilities)
-Tara personally already knows basic feline anatomy(house cats, small felines), Average Rodent(includes rabbits even though they are lagamores anatomy (Mice, Rabbits, Ferrets, Squirrels), average Canine (pet dog, Fox, and small wolves), Basic Aviary (small birds, no predatory birds), and Average Equestrian (small horses and ponies)
- Whenever Tara transforms shes ALWAYS a white version of the animal no matter what its natural colors are with Violet eyes.
-Shes still weak in comparison what she can grow to be. This means that when she DOES transform its a 'poof' instead of a fluid morph
-When she finally reaches the peak of her powers in many many many years. She will be able to morph fully into a person.
-Tara is Tara. The shape shifting is a blood trait for her. The human shape she always returns to when tired or calmed is HER and her standard form.
-Wounds DO carry from form to form, broken ankle as a horse, broken ankle as a human.
-When she's startled she is 'poofed' for an average of about 10-15 minutes. Then she will poof back to her human form, Naked and her clothes have to be regained from or carried with her as an animal. These 10-15 minute intervals happen can when she's spooked, surprised, or super stressed and worried. She can be transformed into an animal by CHOICE as long as her natural energy holds out. When she gets near the time frame when her energy is low. She will go back to being human and will pass out cold for several hours. She needs to learn to conserve her energy as an animal.
-If she needs to be another animal from an animal. Such as Cat to Fox. She must first change feline to human, then make the changes of human to canine. Its a VERY taxing change there.
Tara was the daughter of the leader of a band of gypsies. She was supposed to be wed to one of the many gypsy boys but refused. Since the band she lived in like many others allowed girls a choice and she chose to start learning quarterstaff. Tara chose to travel with the band and with the money they earned the group helped her get tuition.
She is your typical wild 19 year old in the fact that she loves boys, dancing, music, and alcohol. Shes got a high alcoholic tolerance because of the gypsy blood and loves it with a passion. Alcohol and gambling are her two favorite things besides music. Shes an expert at mixing drinks that can knock down the stiffest man. She learned as a gypsy to belly dance, play the mandolin, and use every feature she had to get what she needed.
Shes coming to the House of Bricks so she can be a strong woman and someday run her own company. She's hoping to spread her joy with her good attitude and to learn deeply.
As a shape-shifter she has to learn this by studying the anatomy of an animal for a bit before she is able to morph. Shes in the process of this as she wants to learn everything she can.
