WANTED CONNECTIONS.

➥ found family: she lost all of her family and joined the east atlantic army program, it would be nice for her to have other people she’s gained in her time there. they do not need to be part of the army ➥ counter argument: people who the eaa has hurt, or even tully personally on orders from the eaa which are proof and reason for her to further question why she is continuing to help the east atlantic army.

DIGGING DEEPER.

like many in the academy, tallula grew up without parents though she felt like everyone seemed to know *something* about their family or how they ended up at the academy. tully didn’t know either of those things, in fact, she didn’t know a single thing about where or who she came from, nor how she ended up with the academy. but that also gave her strength over some of the others who knew what it felt like to have and lost. still it would've been nice to know where she came from. 

if you were to ask tully, growing up in the academy wasn’t bad. they didn’t treat her badly and truly the only time you got punished is when you deserved it. there were an extensive rules for any academy member and even more so for the army, it wasn’t hard to piss someone off that you shouldn’t. however, sometimes you get bored and tully fell victim to it now and then, especially with her partner in crime and all things devan. they met when they were both very young and have been inseparable ever since. 

she’s always had a want to stick up for those who need it most, being taken for granted many times herself and loving the opportunity to prove those who doubted her wrong time and time again. that was how her and devan first met, matching a scrappiness and moral code within each other. that want never changed, despite knowing why the people were weary when she went to go offer assistance in uniform. she found ways through orders she couldn’t quite get behind, reminding herself that it was for the greater good or finding ways to obey them without doing something she knew was wrong. she kept going because she was helping people more than she wasn’t and because it worried her to think of what would happen to devan if she left them, but also what would happen to her without devan with her. no, there was no hell too hot to keep her away from them. 

academics and reading began filling her time not spent on missions or adventures with mccahill. she enjoys living the stories of the past, imagining a future that they fix the mistakes made and live in peace. maybe far fetched, but there needed to be something hopeful to hold onto. mythology and looking at art pieces she would probably never see again, lost in the wars, became her favorite thing then debating it with anyone willing to. that hasn’t changed to this day, though there’s an added dream of escapism under it all, one she hates to bring up and more and more she’s paranoid that their wild toying the line will get her or devan in trouble they can’t come back from.

EXTRAS.

family / connections:

devan mccahill: best friend, secretly in love with

owen westfall: unit leader, like big brother

headcanons:

she’s has a habit of getting physical when she gets angry, something the academy taught her. not many arguments got solved with words, that has unfortunately needed to be something she keeps in mind while out of uniform. 

has been looking to find more information of where she comes from and is trying to look more into her tightly sealed files in the afterglow compound. hacking isn’t her strong suit.

keeps a detailed journal of her thoughts and log of missions she’s been on so she can not only get it out of her head but also keep record of her past since she never had much of a past before.
