A stunning female lycan, Talania's coloring is unusual for the species. Her fur is pure white, with a long and flowing mane of the same alabaster color. Her body is curvy, and she doesn't try to hide it. She wears her man in braids, even though the wild locks remain untamed at the back of her head. Her long, fluffy tail has sparkling jewels woven into the fur, and she wears bracelets on her arms and legs. While in public, Tala dons a dark cloak made of fur and a light skirt. Her eyes, slanted seductively and fringed by thick black lashes, are the color of the sun. A bright gold around the iris with a paler yellow radiating outward. A long and lean muzzle is tipped with a black nose, and her ears are also ticked with black fur. Standing at a petite 5 ft 10", Tala is a lithe and graceful female. She has many a battle scar, some hidden underneath her thick and lustrous fur.

Tala is an unassuming presence. She doesn't necessarily fade into the background, but she knows how to go unseen and unheard until she chooses to act. Most feel at peace when she is around, as her calm and quiet demeanor is soothing. Though usually silent, Tala is thunderous when angry, and is just as dangerous as any of her kind. Her patience is seemingly endless, but push her to the breaking point and you won't live to see another day. She has a no-nonsense policy, and will stand up for her beliefs. Willing to talk back to the highest authority, the feisty female doesn't care who you are, you must earn her respect. Carrying an aura of natural confidence wherever she goes, others often look to her to lead, though she is content to follow orders as long as she agrees with them. With a gentle side that not many see, Tala is secretly compassionate to all, and wishes to make the world a better place.

Lycanthropes are a canine-like race often mistaken for werewolves. They are a humanoid species with several characteristics of canines, including wolves, coyotes, and foxes. Their canine features appear the most in their heads, hands, legs, and tails.
Lycans' heads heavily resemble that of a canine's; large ears sit atop their heads, tufts of fur round their faces around the cheeks, a long snout filled with sharp teeth and end in a canine nose, and eyes commonly dark in color. Their physique is coated in fur of differing lengths and earthy colors.
The faes' hands and feet appear severely callused due to the pads on their appendages, which cover their palms and fingertips on their hands and canine-like feet. They walk on the balls of their feet like a canine, meaning they have two joints in their legs where their knees and ankles are. The ends of their fingers and toes are tipped with sharp nails, their hands' are the sharpest and often used in hand-to-hand combat along with their canine-like teeth.
This description coveres only one of many forms of lycanthropes, however. There are many variations in appearance.

Lycanthropes are rarely capable of utilizing magic, favoring their strength or wits, though it is not uncommon. Few of these canines have spent decades studying and performing the art of magic, and even fewer master it.
Despite their magical defectiveness, Lycans are a force to fear. Their size alone is enough to deter opponents, adding their strength and intelligence seems like overkill. However, a lone lycanthrope isn't quite as impressive as one would imagine.
Lycans move and live in groups, a leader giving orders and the rest of the pack obeying. The members in a pack are very dependent on each other and grow to become very close, so the death or harm of a pack-mate is devastating. Emotional ruin is the end of a canine, not eating or sleeping for days, lost in its own thoughts with its guard down.

With a background in military, Tala knows how the government works. She left the life behind due to contrasting beliefs on how people should be treated, no matter who they were. She held corruption and immorality in high disdain, believing that the military was supposed to help those in need, not take bribes from the ones causing the problem. When she saw the ways that most in her group would turn a blind eye to crime, Tala left, not able to understand or put up with what was happening.

Now, she is her own boss, and acts as a bodyguard to those she deems fit. She is highly sought after, with a great reputation in high places.
