talia was born, along with her brothers and twin sister, in tel aviv before her parents up and moved the whole family over to new york when she was little. her parents were relatively traditional and made sure that talia, nor her siblings, forgot their roots. she doesn’t pay it much mind these days but, you know, it’s still there. 

she was a relatively quiet kid growing up: she preferred her books to socialising and was often the kid rolling her eyes at the imbeciles in class than finding the class clown funny. 

she was pretty ambitious and valued intelligence over pretty much anything else. she had a small group of friends but she wasn’t exactly ms. popular which... suited her fine to be honest. she’s not that interested in grabbing the spotlight. 

one thing talia was always good at, however, was sticking up for the underdog. she stood up to bullies - much to her parents chagrin - and landed herself in trouble more than a couple times for telling the big-headed jock where to stick his insults. 

she got a little less timid the older she got and she ended up on the track team at high school which helped her make a slightly bigger circle of friends. she was hands-on, a little stoic but dedicated nonetheless. 

she didn’t really know what she wanted to do after school and actually ended up enrolling in the police academy on a whim. her parents were... not exactly impressed but she was doing something with her life so??? 

she actually excelled and she’s slowly made her way up through the police force and is now a lead vice detective for the nypd. that means if you’re involved in narcotics or anything else unsavoury she’s coming fo’ you. 

she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty and actually despises being behind a desk doing paperwork. her mind is constantly on the go and she refuses to let anyone else take over which is why she has such a stick up her arse now that they have fbi agents snooping around her case. 

basically she’s addicted to her work, can be incredibly mistrusting and is more than a little stoic but she has a big heart really. she’s a protector and she might not be great at advice but she’s good at punching the person who upset you in the face?????
