TALIA'S INFAMY FILE

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE X PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE

I'LL CHASE THE LIGHT[break]OF THAT DISTANT STAR

and be your light when all other lights go out

Talia is, in essence, the embodiment of audacious hope that stands in the face of strife. Her idealism and her optimism fuel her, and rather than let the darkness of the world snuff it out of her, she is determined to bring what goodness she can to the places most in need of it.

This does not mean that she is a doormat, however. Talia is Lawful Good through and through; she is not one to be swayed to compassion for Rockets, despite being a compassionate soul. She is also remarkably stubborn, and will stay in fights that she should retreat from, because she does not believe in condoning wrongdoing.

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE

WHAT CAN BE LOOKED UP

Talia moved to Hoenn as a refugee during the height of the Johto invasion. Until that point, she had been in training to join the kimono girls of the Ecruteak Dance Theater, continuing a family tradition of performance and storytelling in honor of the Legendary beasts. She shared a flat with three other refugee girls, using her musical talents to pay her rent while she waited for news of her mother to return to her.

When her mother was lost as one of the casualties of war, Talia decided to stay in Hoenn, becoming a Ranger in the hopes of preventing what happened to Johto from ever happening here. She is open about this, as she is open about most things in her life; she is a woman with few secrets, sincere to a fault.

LEAGUE KNOWLEDGE

POINTS OF INTEREST FOR THE LEAGUE FACTION

Talia has joined the Slateport Rangers, where she primarily works in search-and-rescue missions off the coast. She has trained with MATIAS SILPH as part of her quest to strengthen herself.

ROCKET KNOWLEDGE

POINTS OF INTEREST FOR TEAM ROCKET FACTION

Talia once challenged Cillian Quinn at the Tree of Life when he confronted her for approaching. Only when she feared he might kill her Dragonair did she stand down.

PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE

PERSONAL SECRETS

Talia doesn't know who her father is, only that he was a talented Dragon-type trainer. Her Dratini is her only connection to him, and even that gift was one sent from far away: an acknowledgment of her existence, but not an acceptance. She has never expressed interest in meeting him. To her knowledge, she is an orphan, and she doesn't mind it being that way.

She has never been in a relationship and, particularly, has less experience with men in general due to being raised in a predominantly female household.

She can sing, play the harp, and dance professionally. She is secretly very spiritual about Legendary Pokémon, but hides this from much of Hoenn, as that is uncommon here and frowned upon.
