CHARACTERISTICS
Appearance: Though other Humans and Races would view her as beautiful, Tallis' skin is quite pale and has sharp facial features which could mark her as being of Noble birth amongst her race. Svelte and supple in physique which helps her to move swiftly and be able to incorporate Gymnastics into her fighting style and general movement.
Her long, brown, and slightly wavy hair is always tied into a ponytail in order to be practical and so that she can work along with a silver headband, and her brown eyes are sharp and keen which was one of the main things that the Tamassrans found early on in her childhood to mark her as an Assassin.
Along with the light green leather Armour, Tallis will more often than not be found in her green cotton outfit which is far more silent and easier to move around in than the armour with her leather boots and green silk lined black cloak.
Personality: Being raised amongst the Qunari, Tallis therefore has the expected personality of a Qunari along with the philosophies of one. She has no care for wealth or beauty, but she is one who respects honour, dignity and strength of character.
Some of her personality of a Human is still distinguishable such as her humour and quick intellect but most of all is her peaceful nature and diplomatic ways of settling things which altered her purpose from being a possible Ashkaari into the Ben-Hassrath.
Often she works alone but she will often prefer to work as one of a pair or a group, knowing that they were stronger as a part of the Qun rather than a separate arm. She is amiable enough for other Races, but she will generally only have major relationships with other Qunari, especially the Ben-Hassrath who are her brothers and sisters and she would gladly die for them. For she does have emotions, despite the views of others, she can love... She just doesn't link it the way that other Races do.
HISTORY
Found at the tender age of 3 by a Karataam, Tallis was educated and raised under the Tamassrans and the Qun, particularly with the start of her education as an Ashkaari till it was found that she had a keen eye for spotting things that most would simply pass over, so she was retrained as one of the Ben-Hassrath including stealth and lock-picking.
At the age of 12, she was given the rank of Tallis, "to solve" in Qunlat, and a member of the Ben-Hassrath in a formal light; despite being Human but she has proved, time and again, that her will is bound to the Qun to the point that she is nicknamed as "the eyes of the Qun" given how she can manage to shoot an arrow into a target that seems like an apple to most but for Tallis, it was as easy as a large bulls-eye in practise, which came mostly as an accident during some fight practise when some wolves came across the area that the Qunari were currently in and Tallis had simply turned, taken a few seconds to aim and then let her shot flew through the air into one of the wolf's eyes.
Most of the missons she's gone on, were mostly just information gathering and tracking down targets, a couple of times though she had been sent as an observer on fellow Qunari who may become Tal-Vashoth or disobey the Qun. When it does happen, Tallis reports them days before they return to the Qunari or before they get too far to be reeled back to be 're-trained'.
A couple of times she has almost questioned the Qun, the first time was when she had gone after a group of Tal-Vashoth who were pretending to still be on orders from a Sten and they tried to convert her away from the Qun by questioning her as to how it makes sense for someone to be allowed to choose to obey, a thought which had never crossed her mind before, As such, she almost let them go but they were killed later on save the Leader by the Saarebas that they had with them so Tallis had to finish them off. She didn't tell anyone of the fact that she questioned the Qun, just that she had failed in a sense so was punished.
The second time was tracking a lost Saarebas and it's Karataam, oddly enough the same Karataam who had found her years earlier, unfortunately the Karataam had been killed save for the Saarebas who had then been taken in by a Human Priest who tried to free it. Tallis reported it swiftly back and went with the Arvaarad who was sent to "settle things", at this point Tallis didn't really know what happened to the Saarebas if they were split but was further surprised by the female Bas-Saarebas who accompanied it and asked for it to be freed. Such a thing was quite..... Unknown to her, but she watched as the Karataam were killed, though she then sighed a breath of relief when the Saarebas killed himself despite his freedom before she left to report it.
Tallis questioned as to how the Qunari treated the Mages, having seen the Human, who she later found to be called Hawke, who was a Mage without any kind of lead. But she then reminded herself that her own Race had abandoned her whereas the Qun embraced her, found her purpose and let her live.
Although this second questioning, she had admitted it to a fellow Ben-Hassrath, an Elf with the Rank of Ash who she often works closely with for missions. Finding wisdom in the words of her Kadan, Tallis punished herself for ever questioning the Qun, quite severely this time which strengthened her faith in the Qun.
Her faith, loyalty and honour remains true and her will is strictly bound to the Qun; even though she sometimes has to 'mingle' with the Bas but she will do it, for the Qun.
