She's good at keeping to herself. She's a good listener, and will often stand by someone. If they are angry or just plain sad, she loves to be there to listen and offer any advice she can.
Tala doesn't like to hurt people, and while she can't fully control herself yet, she distances herself from those people. All except her pack. She feels it's for their safety more than anything.

So, Tala is a never ending day dreamer. She likes to make fantasies in her head. And she loves to be creative. One outlet for that creativity, is her writing.

Often times, when she has a little bit of extra time, you'll see her with a book shoved in her face, or her hand scribbling down words on a piece of paper.
She's also the leader type. She's not afraid to take charge of a situation that gets out of hand. No matter the danger. More than that, she's very brave. She's not afraid to stick up for her friends or family if they are in danger. No matter what.

Background:

Tala was born and raised in one place, La Push. Her life revolved around the legends, stories, and the reservation she lived in.
She is the only daughter of her family.
When Tala was born, youngest child to the Sassaba family, her parents instantly loved her. Mostly because she was the only female in the long line of males in the Sassaba family. And she hardly cried, unless she really needed something. For the most part Tala was very kind, and quiet.
She was the last of the Sassaba family to finally go to school. She loved being in the La Push school. She loved to learn, and she loved to gain new friends. When she was around her friends she just couldn't stop talking and giggling like the rest of the girl's. She loved to be around people and nature most of all. Her brothers often teased her when they met at school, often embarresing her around her friends. But, of course, when other people tried to do the same to their little sister, they were instantly protective of her.
The one person she was closest to was her brother, Shonka, whose name means dog. He was the nicest, and often stood up for her in front of their siblings when they decided to tease her. Because of this, he was often beaten up by the rest of his siblings, while Tala tried to push and shove them off of her older brother.
At ten, Tala was very short for her age, and thoight boys had cooties. Shonka had the least amount, but she still knew not to get too close to him for fear of catching the horrible virus everyone else seemed afraid of. Which only made him want to be around her more.
Her mother loved Tala, seeing a lot of herself in her only daughter. She often told stories about her parents and her ancestors. Tala was always interested in hearing the stories of her family, especially her father's side of the family. Of course, her father rarely included her in the story time. He usually only told these legends to her brothers. Tala hated it. Her father often told her she should focus on more girlish things, like cleaning and cooking.
And so, at thirteen, her mother was always shoving Tala into the kitchen to help with dinner, lunch, breakfast and everything else. And she was also forced to do most of the house cleaning. Whenever she could get out she spent her time with her older brother, Shonka, and loved to go swimming, evnen though the water happened to be very cold. She liked to join the boys in things like cliff diving and running through the reservation. Her father didn't think a girl should behave the way she did.
He was often grounding her, but she often found her own ways of sneaking outside whenever she could.
Around this time her eldest brother was becoming more distant from the rest of the siblings. This could be very odd, for her brother was always with his brothers. And often even with Tala. He distanced himself from just about everyone. Except for a group of boys who kept to themselves. This only seemed to increase, as well as the population of the boys, and now even a few girls, that hung around eachother. Her brother was always out during the night, and she often tried to follow. She was always shoved away.
Then her youngest, but older brother, Shonka, was doing the exact same thing. After a sudden growth spurt from them both, the two were suddenly very close. Even their father seemed very proud of his two sons. No one ever seemed to pay much attention to her anymore.
Sixteen is her most memerable year, and the current age she is now. This is the age where the family secrets are sent down to her. She was growing at a rapid pace, and sometimes felt ill. No one paid her any mind, so she was stuck worrying on her own. So, one day, out of frustration, she countered Shonka and demanded to know why he was avoiding her and everyone else. He wouldn't answer and she was sent into an uncontrollable rage. With that rage came something that would forever change her life. She turned into a werewolf, or a monster, she called it. And she could suddenly hear several shouts, mostly males.
Then came the explanations. She was told what she was, and the boys sounded strange. Almost worried. She soon found out it was because she was girl. And girls were really not supposed to become a werewolf. But, of course, she believed it, and she even thought of it as the single coolest thing that had ever happened to her. Now she's enjoying her life as a werewolf.

Roleplay Sample:
The thing Tal probably hated the most about being a werewolf was that she never seemed to get enough sleep. And Tal liked to sleep. Like a lot. She ran through the La Push forest, her really long golden brown fur seemed to just weigh her down with each step. She shut her eyes to the thoughts of everyone else. Sometimes she really hated being read like a book. Sometimes being a werewolf wasn't the best thing in the world for her. But. With all reality. Tal still loved it. She was an animal. A beautiful, strong creature that could protect people. Who wouldn't want such power?

She ran out of the forest, jumping, she transformed back into the human girl she really was. Slender body, light brown eyes, and darker skin. She grinned to herself. Who would know what she was? Even if they did guess what the boys were, who would guess that little Tala was a werewolf? A thing that most people would only see in their nightmares. Not too many people. She remembered when she was the shortest one in class. Not anymore. Thanks to her increasing growth she was now average. She couldn't help the grin.

Walking down mainstreet she heard a voice. She blinked several times. Someone was singing? Who was singing? And she did have a pretty voice. But then agan, she thought most girls had a pretty voice. She walked faster, she wondered, only for a split second, if the cold ones had passed through treaty lines. She dug her hands far into the depths of her light jean jacket.

Today she wore a pink long tank top with a light blue jeaned jacket covering it. She also wore a pair of white slacks that fell down past her ankles, covering a pair of black boots. Her hair was down, as was normal for Tala. Besides, it kept her warmer. And she secretly thought that it looked prettier that way. And though she would never admit to it in front of anyone, she liked pretty things. That's why she liked this girl already. A pretty song and a pretty voice.

She paused when she saw the girl. She tilted her head to the side to better examine the girl. What was that she was listening to? She dimly remembered hearing about iPods. Not something she was overly interested in. She could sing. And she could hear other people sing. Without the need of such a thing. The girl, in her opinion, didn't seem like she belonged in La Push. And seeing as she'd lived here her entire life, she was beyond sure she would be able to place the girl.

She knew everyone in La Push, really. Well, not personally, but she knew all the faces. And she'd never seen this particular face. She shrugged it off. The newer the better. Then she frowned. That meant she couldn't mention she was a werewolf. But she wanted to. She shook her head and took the few steps she needed to before speaking to the girl.

"Hello." She said softly. "I don't remember seeing you around. Who are you?" She asked, hoping she didn't sound too nosy or anything. But really, how often did she get to meet someone new here? She grinned. "I'm Tala Sassaba. But you can call me Tal." She added, most people did anyway.
