Tally

Ambassador Talsindra (a.k.a. Tally, Taldrin, The Dragonfly)

Tally is a drow monk, originally from the Underdark but now dwelling on the surface in Eaine. While usually amiable, Tally can be really dang scary when she so chooses.
(Character roleplayed by Liou.)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tally is small but strong. Her constitution is not so great and, as she confessed to the party, unaccustomed to surface bugs as she is Tally does get sick very easily when encountering new ones. A magical belt has helped somewhat with the constitution issues. Previously Tally had short wavy white hair and midnight skin scattered with white freckles. After she died winning the drow their freedom, Selwyn helped her soul into a new body he crafted himself. While the features are similar in many ways, Tally now has lighter grey skin and long hair in her true form.

Identifying Characteristics

Blue attire of the Shrine of Luhine, and a pale cyan tattoo of a dragonfly on her upper left arm.

Special abilities

As an elemental monk, Tally is both adept at hitting things...and at hitting things, but also with fire (or air, water or earth!) Tally most frequently uses her abilities to try and gain allies an advantage in combat. Post resurrection, Tally can shape-shift between different humanoid forms.

Apparel & Accessories

Blue attire of the Shrine of Luhine.
For the Flower Gala, Tally wore a multicolored dress with a very plunging neckline. It was in a high-class style but made by an apprentice, so Tally got it for a little less gold than usual!

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Pretty messy. On the 6th of Stone, while Khamet and Tally were confronting Amani, the drow mentioned that she couldn't understand why Amani didn't want their parents to worry about them, as it would have been quite nice if Tally's cared about her a little more!
On the 7th of Stone, Tally talked about how when she lived in the Underdark she was very physically strong. She said she was a brute, and that it's what she was known for. When she came to the surface, with no immunity to surface diseases, Tally became very ill and has never been quite the same since.
