Background
Talia grew up in Westminister with a family obsessed with propriety and appearing to be their absolute best in front of others. This lead to the internal violence within the family to fester quietly away from the eyes of others. At around 6 years old her family packed up and moved to California, but their problems only seemed to follow.

At 8 years old, she became the victim of her father in a tragic murder-suicide of her entire family. Talia herself took a close range shotgun blast to her lower abdomen. She was the only one maintaining any kind of breath when paramedics arrived, and so she was rushed to the hospital, where she died on the operating table. The doctors managed to revive her after almost five excruciatingly long minutes, and when she awoke, she was not the same. This event caused her to awaken as a Mage, her relationship with death becoming a comfort blanket for her. Her avatar appeared to her as a 7ft tall tattered and rotting Grim Reaper figured, whom she named Wraith. He would take a human form of a tall, pale man in a black on black suit with dark sunglasses.

Talia was then placed in the foster care system, during her time with her first family, she frequented the local mall's arcade where she met Caliban. He was a mage like her and cared about helping her understand everything she could do. She took a liking to him as he didn't think she was weird, and she spent long hours playing Mortal Kombat with him until her parents picked her up. This developed into a brother and sister relationship quickly, and then about a year later, Caliban was gone, dead.

Talia attended his funeral, and began to spend her afternoons at his grave, instead of the arcade. She would sit with Wraith at his graveside with a small picnic, telling him all about her day. After bouncing around to a few foster families, she eventually settled in Texas. There she connected with a few other Mages, forming a small cabal.
