About
Tala is a new face to Johto and potentially to this world. She claims she came from a place where humankind is only a myth and holds onto that claim with a tight grip on all that remains of that world: her scarf and backpack.
As timid as she may appear, Tala is no pushover in a fight. She likes to help others, even strangers, strive for their dreams.
However, she tends to be too trustworthy of strangers and doesn't prioritze her own goal: going home.

Trivia
- Like most cyndaquils, her vision wasn't very good until she evolved.
- As a fire type, she rarely gets cold (even in harsh snowstorms). The main exception to this is whenever rain is involved or she gets sick.
- Unlike her fellow mustelid mother and siblings (species that prefer solitude), she takes after her canine father and enjoys company. Her favorite bonding activity is berry picking with Cuvin.
- She used to be a self-insert, way back when. Her abrupt separation from her old life was inspired by my childhood experience moving away from my small hometown and into the city suburbs.
- Her design and anatomy is inspired by mustelids, especially fishers (Pekania pennanti) and wolverines (Gulo gulo).
- This inspiration is why her birthday was moved to March 10th, World Wolverine Day. March was also the month that I did the Spirited Souls playthrough in 2014.
- Her birthday was originally on November 11th because 11/11 sounded cool and "felt like an underrated number in my middle school aged brain. Then Stranger Things premiered two years later and introduced Eleven, the character.
