#talin

Very first Talin drawing!!! Talin looks way different now which is pretty typical of me when designing characters.

Now for the lore:

- Arcana Talin is of course the player, basically, she's Asra's apprentice and really is just a character I made so I could finally play the story from another perspective (really not, Talin is just me in the story. Not a self insert but like. We make the same decisions.). Her eyes became red after dying from the plague and being revived, like Julian's eye but. Reversed? I don't really know lol. I think the best justification is that the eyes are small evidence of the revival spell used on them haha. Her colors are the way they are because of a line Nadia says during the Coliseum section of Asra's route, where she says the pendant Asra gives you really suits you (and Talin's colors all complement green). Uhhhh yeah that's it I think lol not much development here

- Friend world Talin ... I'm pretty sure she works at a coffee shop as a barista? And if she needs the money she works in a flower shop or a botanical garden (she studied that stuff!) Part-Time. The way I'm connecting her Arcana lore to her other self (AU I guess? As in her Arcana self is the AU at this point lol) is that she either has chronic fatigue or chronic pain OR she got extremely sick as a child and spent a lot of time in and out of hospital (maybe both?), the connection is the being ill at some point (I think I'm leaning towards the first option... Or a combo.. Oh well have to lore develop Talin some more!)

Also, like I mentioned above, Talin also likes to do a little bit of trolling (Gabe's younger brother is a 24/7 streamer who uploaded his consciousness to twitch lmao) on E-Bert's streams, and she's constantly making alt accounts to continue the trolling. She used to go to school with Ezekiel (E-Bert) and really hates what he did (uploading) but still cares about him so she trolls.

And she does hobby witchcraft (maybe has a lil etsy store!), and maybe tarot readings on the side! (Again connection with Arcana here, the tarot...)
