Character
Character Name: Taissa Turner
Sex: Female
Height: 5'6"-5'7"
Body type: Thin, in-shape but not as athletic as her hey-day.
Apparent age: She's in her early 40s and looks good for her age.
Basics:
Demeanor: Taissa is confident, but not unshakeable in her current situation. She is a woman who very much desires to be in control feeling like she's on the knife's edge of losing everything. Very tense. Easily can come across as "bitchy", but has softer moments when she lets her guard down.
Body language: The perfectionist in her will not allow her to slouch. She'll be giving strangers on the island a healthy amount of space when speaking to them at first.
Dress: Taissa's style is simple but sophisticated. She's well-dressed, and her clothing looks like it was once expensive. She arrives in light and neutral colors, the mark of a politician allowing the public to project itself upon her. Her outfit could be described as business casual and consists of a white sweater (made into a bag and later cut apart for bandaging for Chloe), a black camisole, tan slacks, white socks, and white sneakers. Her jewelry consists of simple stud earrings and a plain gold wedding band.
Let the dirt and deterioration begin.
Smell: She might still have a faint smell of nice perfume covering up cigarette smoke, but that jungle sweat is going to come in fast.
Voice: Both Taissa and her actress Tawny Cypress are New Jersey natives, though it sounds like to me that Taissa's accent is a little bit milder. This might be due to the practiced way that Taissa speaks as someone trying to get ahead in politics. For the most part, she speaks with confidence, save for times when she's really rattled.
Scars/tattoos/markings: None visible.
Footwear: She has on a pair of sneakers that were once pristine and white, and were never meant to leave her closet for any actual outdoorsy activity. She's not going barefoot in this terrain unless she is forced.
Anything else: She looks like she's almost perpetually tired.
Wilderness survival
Do they have any possessions they're especially protective of? Her inventory is listed here. Taissa is intensely practical, so she will guard anything she has that is especially useful in her survival on the island unless she trusts you.
In general, how do they handle their possessions? Taissa has tied her sweater into a bag for carrying around her items, but it's smaller now that some of it's been cut for bandaging. So far she keeps everything close to her person, including when she sleeps.
Are you okay with Lalo going through their stuff? Yes, if he can get to it. See link above for inventory list.
What about stealing any of their stuff? Absolutely, just run it by me first.
Are they armed? Not yet.
Hygiene: She has not yet reached a river but will happily bathe once she does.
Physical condition: Taissa looks like her rough time started before she came to the island. The bags under her eyes have bags
In general, how well equipped for wilderness survival are they? Physically? She needs better tools and weapons. Mentally? Much better equipped than she appears to be.
Etc.
Is there anything else you really want Lalo to find out/use against your character at some point? I will eventually drop hints and out her sleepwalking habit but not immediately. When the times comes, it's fair game for any character.
Is there anything you DON'T want Lalo to know about your character? The past cannibalism is probably Taissa's darkest secret, so I would just want a lot of discussion before that came out.
