The Basics...
Name: Taj Force
Age:17
Gender:female
Race: Daughter of Eve
Occupation: Messenger
The Look...
Clothing Style: Taj's clothes aren't anything fancy, mostly due to the fact that she doesn't want to attract attention, and she's traveling most of the time. So, anything decently fancy would most likely get ruined. Taj's clothes are comfortable and easy to move around in. Though it might be smarter to wear it, she doesn't wear any protective chain mail, thinking it would be too heavy. The colors of her clothes are usually earth tones, this way she can blend in with her surroundings more easily.
Overall Appearance:Taj is an average sized and lithe girl, standing around 5'6 and weighing 116. Her skin is lightly tanned from being outside so much, which gives her a healthy, lively glow. Her hair is a dark wave of dark brown bordering on black, and falls in a lush wave to the middle of her back, seeming almost unkempt and feral. Taj has a heart-shaped face, with high cheekbones and a small nose. Her lips always seem to be in a sort of pout, but they break easily into a huge smile that lights up her whole face. She has almond shaped blue-gray eyes and arched eyebrows. Her ears are pierced, and there's a tattoo on her right shoulder blade, a Japanese style wave, encircled.
Markings: Both ears are pierced, and has a Japanese style wave tattoo on her right shoulder blade.

The Personality...
Personality: Taj has a very introversive personality, she's mostly described as quiet and respectful by her elders, and kind and sweet by her peers. She's a 'color in the lines' kind of girl, following the rules and doing her job. Taj keeps to herself mostly, not wanting to draw attention to herself, and this causes some concern from the people she knows, thinking something is wrong. If there is, Taj doesn't let on. Although she's a natural born listener, Taj can hold a conversation, and her humor is witty and sarcastic. She's known for her patience and loyalty, and she's also a bit of an intellectual. She loves books, and if she does get money, it's what she tends to spend it on.
..But, there is another side to Taj's personality, which has occured in the recent year. Since her sister has gone missing, though Taj doesn't talk much about it, she will do whatever it takes to get her back. Although the girl is a lover of truth and loyalty, she also believes in opportunity. Her determination is unweilding. Thus, she is also stubborn.

The Past...
History: Taj first came to Narnia with her sister Evelyn when she was only fourteen, and her sister only twelve. They had discovered the passageway in their bedroom closet in the house they had just moved into. Evelyn had loved Narnia at first sight, but Taj was more cautious, keeping her sister close by at all times. They had first arrived in Avra and got to know the people in the village well, and slowly Taj began to calm down. Eve wanted to explore more of Narnia before long, and Taj thought of maybe not going home; of living in Narnia. Their home life hadn't been quite the best, their father being a raging alcoholic. Taj felt that living in Narnia would be much safer, and Eve's safety was a number one priority.
So, the two of them decided to stay, and went on to explore the lands of Narnia. They never stayed in one place for too long, and Taj was always keeping an eye out for pending danger. I guess you could say she grew up quickly, becoming and adult at the age of fifteen. The two of them were happy, and times were peaceful. But one day, when they were traveling through the woods, Taj felt that they were being followed. She paused for a moment to listen, and an arrow struck the tree near her. Immediately the two took off, they were being pursued by a group of minotaurs. Taj never stopped running, telling Eve to head towards the river, knowing that the minotaurs would hesitate to cross the water. But it wasn't just an ambush, it was a trap. There were a few minotaurs already waiting by where the forest cleared. It was a raid.
They caught Eve almost immediately, since she had been running ahead. Taj tried to fight them off, but they used Eve as an ultimatum, saying that if Taj harmed them, they would harm Eve. So, they took Taj and Eve's belongings, but instead of letting them go, they threw Taj into the rough waters of the river and kept Eve. Taj tried to swim against the rough current, but was only swept away. When she regained consciousness, she was in a village not far from Cair Paravel, a merchant had been kind enough to help her. The merchant’s name was Dahlia, and she was mostly a drifter, like Taj, though she had set up a small embroidery shop in the town, and her business was doing well. Taj told Dahlia her story, and Dahlia offered Taj a home, along with a messenger job, and so Taj stayed. When she isn’t working, she’s off wandering, searching for signs of Eve, or hunting for Minotaurs.
