Physical Description:
Tall and moderatly built for a woman, Taz wears a variety of outfits, usually whatever she throws together and deems 'stylish'. Which can be something almost smart to..something with more belts and buckles. She likes wearing clunky boots and armwarmers for the most part.

Her skin is pale in comparison to her straight raven hair, cut choppily down to her shoulders, with pink natural highlights at the end. She either wears it down or pushed up into a messy ponytail/bun. Her eyes are a lighter shade of pink, and two delicately pointed ears protrude from her hair. Her ears are pierced, with one stud in her upper left as well, not to mention her nose piercing. The dagger usually hangs hooked to a belt loop at her side.

Personality-wise:
She has been described as crazy. The good kind of crazy! Taz can be either laid back, or more commonly searching for a new thrill. Mischevious and boosted up with a 'devil-may-care' attitude often leads her into a great many problems. However, she doesn't stay down for long, always up and looking for more 'fun'. She gets defensive when it comes to showing how much she properly cares about someone, simply because that would be an admittance of trust, something she has problems with. Therefore, in her screwed up way, she ends up hurting those she cares about with her reckless actions. In fact, if push comes to shove, she /has/ been known to show a responsible side, only when she's coherant enough to recognise that it's needed for her to step up. So rarely.

Personal Information, History, Background:
Taz was born into Eadex, a version of Earth but varied in the fact that it has not-so-subtle differences. Surprisingly enough the music culture is practically the same, for instance, but the 'humans' of Eadex are Elicitay for example. She grew up with her mother, father having left home when she was six. Her mother was a freelance singer, traveling with her guitar, basic supplies and what little money she made, leaving Taz at a boarding school for children needing benefits.

The school was strict and not one of the best places for a child to grow up, squashing down on individuality and creativity. Taz, being her mother’s daughter, rebelled in her own small ways, along with a close-knit group of friends. They broke into the music rooms to practice various instruments for one thing. They were found out many a time, but nothing would keep them from their music, so all efforts to hinder them flared down to simple disdain and unequal treatment in the other aspects of school life. This only fuelled her bias against higher ups, making her a steely young woman with an easy going sense of humor that can take some people aback at first. Taz took a particular interest in the guitar, and excelling at that, tried her hand at the drums. This lasted for a few years, until she was sixteen and couldn't stand the suppression any longer and left.

She rejoined her mother for two years, learning as many of the tricks of the trade as she could, bagging her own guitar, before parting ways and forming a small group with some of her closer friends from her school days, traveling as far as they could to perform. It was rough, but she learned to cope, keeping a mace spray near at hand whenever possible.

It took her four years to save for her current guitar which she loves dearly beyond any of her possessions, the iPod a second hand item given to her from a fleeting boyfriend. Other than that, she led much the same rough lifestyle as her mother, taking what she could and sleeping where she found shelter, accompanied by her band group members. She developed a tough and hard to wear down attitude, choosing to be positive even when the chips were down. This lasted right up until she walking through a rift after one gig and ended up on Kaerwyn, leaving behind her rucksack of belongings, all except her guitar, mace and iPod.

Character relations:

• Koricos - Her fiance. Throughout their time together they've had a great many ups and downs, and if she's being realistic, that's how things will continue. She loves him to bits, but isn't always cutesy about showing it, especially in public. She's slowly relaxing on that point though, not so afraid to show her feelings for him for others to see. She's aware of how much he's done for her, and despite his disagreeing, thinks that she doesn't entirely deserve his forgiveness. She's settled down a lot, with his help, and most likely owes her growth in maturity to him. She can relax, be sensible, or be very, very silly around him. If he puts up with her, he's more than she deserves!
• Darron - A good friend. He's tough and a laugh. She does worry for him, but doesn't feel it her place to express this, coming from her. She figures he has enough common sense to deal with his problems, and can only really hope for the best for him.
• Tom - Another great friend. She goes to Tom when she's down and in need of a friendly shoulder to moan on. Plus, he cooks great food, has a hot tub and is a masseur! Awesome! His girlfriend is sweet, and despite Taz's teasing him, she hopes Tom does well. He's strong-willed, fun and generous.
• Trevor - Another fun guy. Has a mind of his own, which is great! Friendly and easy to hang with.
