PERSONALITY
*Description:
Tara can be considered abrasive at first. Her outward appearance has been said to be rude, brash--brutish, even-- with absolutely no sense of class or of being in possession of any kind of detectable, natural tact.
She likes people to think that she is this rough character, someone that you shouldn't befriend or love. She wants people to think she's this thing and that thing, changing her mind and persona so often that if you were to ask two different people about her their answers would be so different that you would think you had asked about two separate personalities.
So who is Tara Gerow?
Well. If someone were to--hypothetically speaking of course-- actually get through to her and manage to find the person behind the beast, they would find something very contradictory to the woman they first met.
It is true: in her off hours, Tara is an actual human being with actual human emotions.
She is a very nervous person and over compensates for that nervousness with her raw attitude and vile language. She is insecure, yearns for approval and praise but never received it before, so has given up. She finds love but hardly ever pursues it for her overall feeling of self-inadequacy. She is useless in a tense situation and will talk and act big up until the point of actual confrontation, and in that moment she will bail or beg for mercy. Tara wouldn't let anyone suffer if she could help them but would not go above and beyond to help them if they were beyond help, but she would go out of her way to provide a proper burial, or attend one if there was one.

Darkest Secret: she had a brief period of drug abuse and scared herself into rehab after her foster mother died
*History:
Tara's mother died when she four years old. Tara was never sure what happened, she remembered the day her mother killed herself.
Her father was a kind man who was completely devastated by his wifes untimely death. They had all lived in secrecy until her mother was attacked, which was when they started moving around. Father and daughter became very close, but almost nothing could have stopped her father from chasing down the people who attacked his wife. He confronted one of the people, who called the cops saying a paranormal was attacking them and was armed. He had gone for his wallet when the police shot him, claiming they thought he was going for his gun.
Tara was hiding in the bushes when it happened, and at nine years old she was called to the morgue to identify the body of her father. That same night she was 'adopted' or bought by a sick old widow who had never managed to reproduce before her husband died, and for six years or so Tara had what could be called a real family. When her adopted mother died, however, Tara lost herself.
She turned to drugs, alcohol, partying and loose relationships, a hard life that gave her her shy, nervously abrasive attitude she has today. She had a string of bad relationships but that hasn't effected anything with her current boyfriend, yet. After her last boyfriend tried to kill her in her own bed, Tara decided enough was enough and left her party life for a more serious one. She was determined to get an education so she got a "job", or hired herself as a slave, to a bar owner to help pay for the schooling.
When slavery was abolished Tara found herself lost and oddly without purpose, except that she wanted a real, good paying job or even a career. But she's not getting her hopes up too much.
