===Talise's Nakama===

* '''[[Ida Everstead-Rey]]:''' Talise crossed paths with this woman on a caravan into Adelhyde, then followed her on an adventure into the Berry Cave. She's still feeling Ida out a little but at least finds her interesting to talk to, and hopefully another good guide or companion.

* '''[[Lynnai Albrek]]:''' A new friend, but a goodie. Lyn was the first person Talise ran into after finding herself in a new place, and she's found herself tagging along with the woman, finding her to be a good guide to Filgaia. Tal's fairly sure there's the grain of a good friend there.
! scope="col" style="background:#687095" | Comments
* '''[[Sephilia Lampbright]]:''' Talise's eyebrows went up when this tagalong girl with the cute plush fox revealed that she, too, is from Lunar. Now Tal feels a bit of an obligation to keep an eye on Sephy and ensure she gets back to Lunar safely someday.

* '''[[Agatha Pyrelight|"Agatha"]]:''' Lying to Sephilia is grounds for a muscular visit from a very angry half-Beastwoman with a very large knife.
| scope="col" style="background:#d1d1d1" | "I owe her one for dragging me out of that ruin - and helping her is the least I can do. She's smart and competent and a great friend."

* '''[[Alisha Diphda]]:''' Talise likes this woman because she recognizes the Dragonmaster songs and doesn't think she's a weirdo for singing them, even if she is a poofy pink knight-princess of some kind. Plus she's from Tal's neck of the woods! She's a little less wowed by Alisha's attitude towards Lucia, but it's not enough to knock out her broad goodwill towards her.
| scope="col" style="background:#d1d1d1" | "She's an incredibly smart woman who knows a lot about Filgaia. I feel like I'm an idiot when I'm around her... but I could also learn a lot from her."
* '''[[Arleph Ardan]]:''' A tagalong friend who found himself in Talise's party in the Berry Cave. Tal doesn't know him well but appreciates his help and doesn't mind his companionship.

* '''[[Jean]]:''' Talise encountered this woman in the wilderness and immediately bonded with her over music and dance - and drink. She considers her a fast friend and hopes to run into she and her circle of friends more often. Plus she's from Tal's neck of the woods!
| scope="col" style="background:#d1d1d1" | "I've never had to watch out for a younger person before. She seems so cheery but so naive in some ways. I want to keep her safe."
* '''[[Kalve]]:''' That's not your arm, pal; it's your glove.
|- style="font-size: 88%;"
* '''[[Layla]]:''' Talise wouldn't trust this woman with anything in the world - not after the woman attacked her out of the blue outside of town. Plus she didn't go down to a low blow, which can't mean anything good.

|- style="font-size: 88%;"
* '''[[Morgan Newkirk]]:''' Talise tends to get along well with other outgoing people, and the fox-beastman gladiator fits the bill perfectly.
| scope="col" style="background:#d1d1d1" | '''[[Hiro]]'''
* '''[[Riesenlied]]:''' This woman's association with Zed makes Talise slightly wary, but not enough that she won't chum around and knock back a few drinks with her.

* '''[[Sorey]]:''' Tal can't figure out why this guy has an invisible friend, but he does seem to be from her neck of the woods, and seems nice enough - and prone to studying important stuff. Always useful.

Talise Gianfair is a child of nowhere and everywhere. Born on a ship of miscreants long since lost, the bastard child of a Beastwoman pirate and a human con man who vanished along with the ship, she grew up wild, free and often afoul of the law, and with a thirst for adventure that took her away from the loss of her childhood home and across the Salyan Desert. In her heart she's a storyteller and a singer, the sort to knock back a couple of mugs of mead and sing songs of heroes long dead, favouring those of the Dragonmasters. But she's also a fighter at heart and a talented swordswoman, and she's learned by necessity to survive the badlands and the sea alike - and more recently to survive a world in which her Goddess seems to want to ban everything she finds fun. Now finding herself in a strange new world, she makes the most of it - and turns her eyes towards the lost treasures of the Blue Star.

Background

Gianfair is the outcome of a drunken one-night-stand between a Beastwoman privateer named Tanin de Gianfair and a sly human con-man named Clyde Rath. She was born on Lunar, aboard a privateer ship called the Lunabelle, unwelcome in most ports for its crew of ne'er-do-wells.

Gianfair never had a formal education, though her father taught her how to read and write. She spent about half her time aboard the Lunabelle and the other half skipping from port to port or landing spot to landing spot. She grew up with two primary role models aside from her father. The first was her mother. Tanin de Gianfair was not only a strong-willed woman with a fiery temper and a big smile, she was a complete badass as a fighter, a talented swordswoman who could defeat most people on board the ship. Her second role model was a man named Piet Wilk, an older man who taught her most of her repertoire of old Dragonmaster songs, particularly introducing her to the story of Dragonmaster Chloe, the Beastwoman Dragonmaster.

When Gianfair was about ten, the Lunabelle was chartered for a dangerous mission. Understanding the risk, Tanin handed the ten-year-old Talise off to Piet and put them ashore in Dalton, promising to come back safely. The Lunabelle never returned to port, and Gianfair sunk into a deep misery.

She fell into the care of Piet, who cut a deal with the local thieves' guild and found the pair a little shack to stay in, the old man turning a pretty penny by peddling treasures. Talise proved something of a burden, too young to have many useful skills of her own, but to his credit Piet took good care of her anyway. As she grew up over the next few years, Talise learned from him: She, too, gained a good singing voice. She even learned to play the lute. Around the age of 13, she took to sitting by the docks and playing, singing songs about the Dragonmasters and collecting coins in her hat. Her li'l-minstrel act even had an audience: With Althena seemingly returned, more people became interested in old tales. Talise even heard tell of a few visions of the Goddess in the water.

Through it all, she never forgot her parents, and when she turned 14 - the traditional age of Adventuring Pipsqueaks in Japanese adventure shows - she stole an old sword, invited Piet to come with her, and set off over the horizon. What inspired her all the more was the announcement of a Dragonmaster - Ghaleon, a man dead a thousand years. She knew Ghaleon from the old stories of Dyne and, while excited to see a Dragonmaster, was also confused and disappointed - confused that a dead man could be Dragonmaster, and disappointed she'd never get to be one.

Booking passage on a rickety ship northward, Gianfair headed for Meribia, and she and Piet took to exploring. The two were joined by at least two more young party members (who I leave undefined in case someone wants to app them later) as they took to the countryside, exploring old caves and ruins and occasionally robbing fat-cat travellers for their gold. Over the next few years, Talise made a name for herself as an adventurer, but increasingly came to cross paths with Althena's Guard. She came up against one of their initiates when she was just fifteen, and promptly got her butt handed to her in humiliating fashion as her offensive style did nothing against the swordsman's more defensive style. She fled further away from Meribia, back towards the Badlands, ducking Althena's Guard wherever she could. To make ends meet she fell back on singing again.

The straw that broke her back, though, was the next year - when the church outlawed singing and drinking. She sank and drang anyway; someone from the Guard came and attempted to take her into care, resulting in a swordfight in which the 16-year-old Gianfair again got spanked and had to run away. From there she kept to the badlands around Dalton and Larpa and the broader Salyan Desert, occasionally traveling elsewhere by booking passage on ships under an assumed name. With survival on her mind now, she took to ruin diving again. It was her adventuring in this time period which brought her sword and gauntlets into her care.

Ultimately, Gianfair's adventuring saw her pursued into an old ruin somewhere within the Salyan Desert. After a chance tumble, she found herself deposited in another world, where a woman named Lynnai and a woman named Lestaci picked her up and carried her to safety. That's when she discovered she was on the Blue Star now - and stuck there.
