Physical Description

Talia stands approximately five feet six inches tall. She is athletically built from her training and survival techniques though she has since refined the tough muscles into a more refined appearance to deceive those around her. She has deep brown hair that lends to her Indian heritage. Her eyes are hazel though she has been known to employ even standard measures to hide that as well.

She has several scars but none that she will let you linger on or see willingly. Personal liaisons are kept at a minimum and always with plan. Her hair falls well below her shoulders though she does wear it in a variety of styles.

Her skin is naturally tan without much upkeep and she doesn’t require an abnormal amount of makeup during an event to make herself noticed though even when noticed there is usually something mysterious about her.

Persona

Talia is a strong, persistent woman. She tends to be bluntly honest and no no nonsense which will sometimes win her some enemies and lose her friends in most cases. During her training with her father, she found it easiest to adapt a dual identity. The personality is almost the same but as Miranda Tate the rough edges are mostly smoothed away. She manages to behave herself and keep her social skills in tact.

Talia is a fighter and having grown up in a very unusual way she tends to come off as a little bitter. She has her own agendas and tends to be stuck on them knowing that patience will win her the right to see them come to fruition.

Background

Talia is the granddaughter of a Warlord and the daughter of Ra’s Al Ghul and the Warlords daughter. The daughter took Ra’s place in the prison of no hope in which she gave birth to their daughter. Talia was born in the darkness, the hopelessness, and the violence. It was horrible. This prison was the first experience of inhumanity and the horrors that it could hold.

After escaping, with the help of another prisoner, Talia found her father. There were no expectations of a warm welcome. The only expectations were of more hardship. She was surprised to find a warm welcome. The darkness still haunted her, the hope never fully returning but surfacing only briefly.

She trained with her father and the League of Shadows. Hand to Hand combat, deception, assassination, and anything else she could find to keep herself busy she used to escape the horrors of the nightmares that still plagued her from her early life.

Business was her forte and soon she trained and earned money on her own raising her own fortune while training with the shadows. She was one with them learning skills that would benefit their mission and her own. Skills, wealth, beauty, and agenda.

Her father and the shadows helped her exact revenge on her grandfather, though it was far too late for her mother. They rescued Bane and he became a part of the Shadows. Bruce too became a part of the Shadows and their own entangled history was one that was so complicated it made her head hurt.
