About Tara

A paranoid pattern seeker who resents chaos but often ends up creating it anyway.

Her goal is to find something real in the world and have undeniable proof of it.

The only problem is that she isn’t even sure what “real” means.

When there seems to be no meaning, she’ll put together her own one with perfectly aligned rocks

and empty sticky notes. Suddenly, her bedroom walls are a string of theories no one else understands.

What is she like?

Messy

She tries to brush her hair, but it somehow always looks like it hasn't been taken care of in weeks. She often wears massive t-shirts, an old leather jacket, and some stupid shorts.

Paranoid

Her shapes make her look like you might get stabbed just looking at her. Her hair sticks out everywhere, her nose is sharp, and her clothes make her into a rectangle.

Skeptical

Whatever you do, she will not trust you. If you're kind, she will overthink it. If you're mean, she will overthinking it too. The best option with her is to just do nothing.

But for real...


She's scared of the truth.

Anxious.

Missing something.

What's on her mind?

The thought that nothing is safe.

Motifs

Rocks

Round, shiny, or dull, Tara appreciates them all. They have a bit of weight, none of them are the same, and the taste isn't bad.

Sticky notes

She forgets everything unless it's written down. Plus the small papers are easy to hold. Who cares that things get real in text?

Pushpins

The way they rattle inside a box is just so satisfying. Pushpins can be color-coded and big enough to see. Also, they're sharp.

Relationships

With Ezra

Opposing forces that are in a constant state of attempting to impose their own reality.

With Simona

Reluctant allies who cannot stop trying to understand each other, but in different ways.

With Ivy

Two people full of silent tension, somehow less likely to explode when they are put together.
