Taigeâs mother passed away when she was very young, and her father was next to clueless when it came to raising a girl. Â Luckily for him, Taige had no intention of being treated like a princess. Â She spent most of her days rolling around in the mud and rough housing with her friends. Â She hated dresses and any shade of pink. Â Her father got her interested in sports pretty much as soon as she could walk, and she started putting fantasy teams together by age ten. Unfortunately, Taigeâs father wasnât the kind to show his emotions very well, particularly when it came to vulnerability. Â That trait passed onto Taige in spades. Â She does everything she can to avoid any kind of âmushyâ talk, and even her closest friends get a clap on the back or the very rare hug when it comes to affection. Â As much of an open book as she claims to be, Taige doesnât like to let her guard down. Â Her biggest fear is appearing weak, either physically or emotionally.
In high school, Taige became the first girl in her schoolâs history to make the football team - tailback, to be exact. Â There were obviously some growing pains, but soon the entire team treated her as one of their own, and she eventually rose to be the star player. Â The cheerleaders, however, were a different story. Â They tipped their pretty little noses up at Taige playing like one of the boys an shifting the status quo. Â It was actually pretty âbass ackwards,â as Taige often ranted to her friends. Â So they took every opportunity they could to tease her. Â Taige, however, just teased them in return and let everything roll off her back. Â She was used to being different; there wasnât anything that could get under her skin. Â Or so she thought.
They started digging at her lack of a mother being her problem, and how her father had done a terrible job raising her. Â Instead of rolling off her back, those insults burrowed under her skin until one day she just snapped. Â Now, she was prone to outbursts, but this was complete blind rage. Â Several girls wound up bruised, one had a broken nose, and one even had a mild concussion. Â The principal threatened to expel her for such behavior, but as long as her father wasnât mad - which he wasnât - she had no remorse. So Taige took her medicine, made it through senior year by the skin of her teeth, and got the heck out of dodge. Â Her father had family out in California, so she started looking for schools there, and got accepted to Walt University in Monsanto. Â Her football scholarship pays a decent chunk of her tuition, so she has to keep her grades up above all else. Â But the vibe of this place is way more down to Earth than her high school, and sheâs fitting in (aka standing out) just fine.

 Sheâd jump off a bridge for the boy, even if she doesnât always act like it, and sheâs never afraid to tell him when heâs acting like an idiot.

 Tantor can be a bit of a worrywart and a prude, but heâs good people when you get right down to it, and Taige wouldnât be the same without him around.
