Taliya walking into the Forgotten Knight, looking up as she walks by a table

A close up of Taliya’s arm as she runs her hand along the table’s surface

Taliya looking at the mug on the table, forlorn and wistful

Walking past, Taliya looks over her shoulder with a somber smile

I like to imagine Taliya braves the cold to visit Ishgard on occasion, especially when it’s important to the Fortemps, or for events that would be important to Haurchefant 🛡️❤️

Taliya is absolutely a hugger, and also loves platonic hugs, shoulder bumps, hand holding, cuddling; all of it! If they're okay with it, she even gives cheek kisses to close friends! 🥰

It helps that she grew up with hugs as her main source of soothing from her parents (1/2)

I am also not immune to trends 🥰 let’s expand the #LevinLore

A little bit of #LevinLore for context:

Whether as WoL or the companion of one, she'd spend time with Alisaie helping those at the Inn.

She wants to help, but when the only peace she can give people is an easy end, it's... rough work 😭

An image macro that says, "Get to know my muse! One like = one answer!" with 20 questions to fill out. 1 - What is my muse's full-name? 2 - Where was my muse born? 3 - What are my muse's pronouns? 4 - What is my muse's sexuality? 5 - What is my muse's species? 6 - What is my muse's favorite hobby? 7 - What is something my muse cannot stand? 8 - What is my muse's favorite movie? 9 - Is my muse more of a lover or a fighter? 10 - Is my muse more of a good or a bad person? 11 - What is the most noble thing my muse has ever done? 12 - What is something my muse is ashamed of? 13 - Can my muse handle pressure? 14 - Does my muse have any powers or abilities? 15 - How is my muse with kids? 16 - Who does my muse love the most? 17 - Who is my muse's greatest enemy? 18 - Is my muse more of a glass half full or glass half empty kind of person? 19 - Is my muse more ambitious or more content with life? 20 - Where does my muse see themselves in five years? At the bottom, it says, "For every like after 20, I'll drop a piece of trivia/lore about my muse!"

Taking questions about my gal! :3

LRP Taliya starting ARR as a Gladiator and going into HW ready to take on DRK 💀

#LevinLore

I’ve always imagined Taliya as a rock/punk enjoyer because she’s very high energy and excitable, would absolutely scream her heart out to her favorite songs as a way to just get her emotions out ❤️ not to mention cuss out 😆

“Good F**king Music” by Solence comes to mind

#LevinLore

Taliya likes to talk - she LOVE to talk - and while she can carried away, she’s always watchful of the other person

She’s a child of Ul’dah. Many times she’ll be tactically forward or act a certain way to gauge how the other person responds. It’s her way of getting a read on someone

#LevinLore

(1/3) Depends on which parents 😅

Her adoptive parents, she adores. Her dad is a softy and her mom is fiercely protective 🥰

Her bio parents are different. She describes her father as “a coward,” and her mother would rather isolate than deal with her problems. More below:

#LevinLore

Thunderstorms

Because irony drives the universe 😆

Taliya hates jumpscares, esp very destructive ones, and lighting is the worst to her. She also worries what might happen if *she* got struck by lightning. Nothing? Or something catastrophic? She does NOT want to find out

#LevinLore

This is the start of a new 🧵 in #LevinLore: Non-WoL Taliya! 🛡️

Inspired by a photo shoot of sorts I’m doing for a good friend as he looks to return to the game, I plan to post my favorite gpose once per day from each expansion, with a little story 😊

Of course:

⚠️HERE THERE BE SPOILERS⚠️

Though she was just 18 summers old and not an adventurer yet, Taliya did her best to spring into action during the Calamity, trying to help calm panicking people and get them to safety 😬

Worried her parents sick, to be sure, but that's what adventurers do! 🛡️

#LevinLore #WeeklyInspiration

Mostly 4, with a sprinkle of 1, since Taliya grew up adopted by a Lalafellan family who she loves very much and still has a great relationship with 🥰

She absolutely started adventuring purely for the love of the game, she's restless and loves to be on the move ❤️

#LevinLore

I think Taliya's whole "I have this dangerous Thing about me that can break free if I loose control" is a pretty extra/edgy trait 😆 I can't help it, I've always had a weakness for that archetype

#LevinLore

#WeeklyInspiration

Staring at that beacon of hope, after meeting the people who need her, she is finally alone with her thoughts. And she is saddened and ashamed by the one thought that dominates her mind.

"I just want to go home."

#LevinLore

To be vague and avoid DT spoilers, the fact that levin sickness exists. When I found out it exists as an in world problem I was just like “Oh! That’s it, that’s her condition!”

She was also PISSED when she got intentionally hit with overloaded electricity. That shit felt Personal

#LevinLore

Taliya got that levin sickness bad 😬 but it's more active instead of passive. ie instead of making her catatonic, it's more like "You have to vent this energy every so often before you become a living lightning conductor." And unfortunately of her, negative emotions builds it up faster 😅
