| TALINDA D'AMBREEVILLE McKenzie |
| NAME: TALINDA D'AMBREEVILLE McKENZIE APPEARANCE: TALINDA STANDS ABOUT 5'8 AND IS 28 YEARS OLD. A PAIR OF EYES, THE DARKEST OF BROWNS PEER OUT FROM WISPS OF GOLDEN HAIR. WHILE THE REST OF HER HAIR CASCADES DOWN HER SLENDOR BACK, A SINGLE BRAID OF SILVER FALLS DOWN HER LEFT SHOULDER. SHE WEARS A LONG FLOWING GREEN DRESS, THAT SLIGHTLY FALLS BELOW HER SHOULDERS. A SILVER RING SETS UPON HER LEFT HAND AND SHE IS SHROUDED IN A GREY CLOAK. A BROWN STRAP RUNS DIAGONALLY ACROSS HER CHEST TO A SMALL BAG THAT SHE ALWAYS CARRIES WITH HER AND A SILVER SWORD HANGS AT HER SIDE. RACE: DRUIDESS/HUMAN PAST HISTORY: SHORTLY AFTER TALINDA'S BIRTH, HER UNCLE GANTHRO FORTUNA TOOK TALINDA TO THE TOWN OF BELLSHIRE TO BE RAISED BY HER FOSTER PARENTS LORD ROBERT AND LADY LILLIAN D'AMBREEVILLE AS A MEANS OF PROTECTION. WHEN SHE WAS STILL A CHILD, SHE HAPPENED TO MEET A TRAVELING SEER. WHO, UPON SEEING HER, HANDED HER A SILVER RING, AND TOLD HER MOTHER THAT HE HAD RECEIVED IT FROM THE SON OF A NOBLEMAN OF A DIFFERENT LAND. THE LORD HAD GIVEN HIM THE RING, IN THANKS FOR HIS SERVICE. THE SEER THEN BLESSED BOTH THE LORD AND THE RING. SAYING THAT THE NEXT TIME THE LORD SAW THE RING, IT WOULD BE ON THE FINGER OF HIS SON'S BRIDE. NATURALLY, WHEN THE SEER HAD SEEN TALINDA EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS BARELY INTO ADOLESCENCE, HE KNEW THAT SHE WAS THE ONE OF WHOM HE SPOKE, SO HE HANDED HER THE RING. BUT, AS TALINDA GREW, SHE GREW RESTLESS OF BELLSHIRE. EVENTUALLY HER PARENTS, WANTING TO SEE HER HAPPY, DECIDED TO TEACH HER HOW TO FIGHT, AND THEN HEARING ABOUT THE BALL AT RAVEN'S KEEP, THEY TOOK HER TO THE CASTLE, BELIEVING IT WAS THE BEST PLACE FOR HER TO START. AFTER SPENDING YEARS IN THE COMPANY OF LADY SARAH, TO WHOM SHE LATER DISCOVERED WAS HER SISTER, TALINDA SLOWLY GREW INTO PALACE LIFE WHILE FALLING IN AND OUT OF LOVE. SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE RING WAS A TRAP TO ENSNARE HER INTO MARRIAGE WITH A DREADED ENEMY, AND SHE FOUGHT TO ESCAPE WITH THE HELP OF HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY. ALTHOUGH SHE HAD SWORN HERSELF TO HER LOVER, A VAMPIRE KNOWN AS AEOLIS KAENEI, HE WAS SOON LOST TO HER. THE LOSS OF HIM WAS A HEAVY PRICE UPON TALINDA'S SOUL AND IT HAS ALTERED HER ONCE RECKLESS BEHAVIOR....WELL AT LEAST SOME OF IT. SHE THEN MET TREMAINE McKENZIE AND QUICKLY FELL IN LOVE AGAIN. THEY WERE MARRIED IN BELLSHIRE AT A PRIVATE CEREMONY AND HAVE BEEN PRACTICALLY INSEPARABLE SINCE. PERSONALITY: AT HEART TALINDA IS A GOOD PERSON. YET, GROWING UP AMONG THE DRUIDS, SHE CAN BE SOMEWHAT QUIET. SHE IS VERY LOVING AND LOYAL TO HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BUT IS ALSO KNOWN TO BE RECKLESS AT TIMES. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE HASN'T SEEN MUCH OF THE WORLD, SO SHE MAY APPEAR, TO THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HER, NAIVE. HOWEVER, SHE IS QUIET A QUICK LEARNER. ABILITIES:TALINDA WIELDS A LONG SWORD, DESPITE HER SLENDER APPEARANCE. AS A DRUID SHE IS VERY CONFORTABLE USING EARTH MAGIC. ESPECIALLY HEALING SPELLS. SHE HAS ALSO GAINED AN ABILITY IN WATER MAGIC, YET HER SKILL IN THIS TALENT IS STILL GROWING. |
