Biography
Raised in the backwoods, Taki spent her life raised among druids and spent her time learning to communicate to animals by action, often raised with wolves as a hunter. When she came of age, Taki would leave the druids to become an adventurer and would eventually find love with a said adventurer. When he perished, she was alone with child and would spend her time balancing her hunting with raising kin.
This would last until she would find a new party, a party that would end up helping her gather enough money to no longer just return to the druids who raised her, but to find love again. With her new lover - a woman named Arataka, she would take time away from the adventuring to raise her child. But with danger on the rise, she would be more than willing to return to her old group and with the hope that the world can be safer for her family, she would rather perish than let them down.
Personality
Stoic and silent, Taki is usually always aiming to complete missions quickly and efficiently, relying on her teammates while also keeping them in her sights to see if they’re flanked. She’s a protective person, often more concerned about others before herself - but most importantly for Arataka and Jin. After losing her previous lover, her protective nature has been described as ‘a wolf with nothing to lose’ - often knowing if someone is targeting her wife, she’ll act more feral. This was seen when an imposter tried to impersonate Arataka, leading her to attack with no warning and beginning to snarl until her voice became like a growl.
When it comes to her family, she views them as her top priority, aiming to ensure no matter what, she’ll return to them and they’ll be safe.
Abilities
Taki is a seasoned ranger, often relying on her bow for sniping while always moving. She can use this to stay airborne or invisible She can also create spikes on her body to deter melee attacks, make shadows with stars that blind enemies like flash bangs, and conjure an earth elemental. Alongside these are ways to buff her movements, summon animals, and multiple ways to fly and search for others.
Even without these, shes a quick sprinter, one of the fastest of her unit, able to move swift enough to take no damage from a meteor swarm or fireball. Shes a capable fighter without a bow, often using kicks and swipes with her nails and teeth or strike with a quarterstaff.
