Who left you hanging on that peg all alone?
You look near mint to me man and I wanna make you my own

Physical Description: Taylor is just over 5 foot tall, with medium length light-blond hair (not quite white, but fairly close) and light blue, almost grey eyes. She suffers from “such a pretty face” syndrome- everyone tells her she’s got a pretty face, now if she’d just lose some weight… Her weight is a big issue for her- she weighs in at about 175 pounds, and as hard as she tries, she can’t keep it off for any length of time. She tends to dress very casual in an effort to hide her body- loose fitting jeans and t-shirts (usually majorly geeky ones like you’d find on ThinkGeek.com), a worn pair of Chuck Taylors, and a hoodie. Her bird form is a raven. A sort of largeish raven.
Personality: Outside of her small circle of friends, Taylor is a fairly shy, quiet person. She’s been chunky most of her life, and kids can be cruel, so she’s learned to keep herself shut off from most people. It doesn’t help that even at home, she’s often forgotten in favor of her disabled younger sister. She feels very out of place in large groups, preferring to be by herself playing on her computer or in a small group of (mostly male) friends exploring a dungeon as a 12th level ranger. But if you’re in that small group, you won’t find a more loyal friend. She’s funny, bright, warm, loyal, loving, all the qualities that make her a good friend. If she ever came out of her shell, she’d be quite the man-killer. No pun intended.
Sexuality: Straight

I wanna be your captain, my Pon Farr is a-risin'
So step on over here boy, my love is enterprisin'

History: As far as Taylor knows, she’s just a normal girl who was adopted as a baby by a wonderful family from Michigan. What she doesn’t know is where she came from. Her birth mother was a siren, just like Taylor is. Her mother was killed by a hunter just weeks after she was born, and the hunter took baby Taylor away, not knowing that she would be exactly the same as her mother if he allowed her to live. She was left at a hospital and after it was confirmed that no parents could be found, she was put up for adoption, finding a home with Daniel and Maryse Hunt, a loving couple who, for whatever reason, were unable to have children. The Hunts were wonderful parents, and a couple of years later, they adopted a special needs child they named Jessica. Unfortunately, Jessica’s needs were overwhelming to the Hunts, and while Taylor was never neglected, her parents had to give Jessica more attention, leaving Taylor to her own business much of the time. She found her refuge in comic books, science fiction, and computer games, becoming a total geekgirl as she grew up. Most of the other kids treated her pretty shabbily- a fat girl from a poor family is always an easy target. As she grew older, though, she found herself more and more in the company of her fellow geekboys, getting into roleplaying games and fantasizing about the supernatural, escaping into magical worlds and wishing that she was special, like the characters she read about and played.
Of course, they always say be careful what you wish for. Shortly after her 13th birthday, she was having an average gaming night with the boys around town. Instead of going home, she and Tommy Ray Leitner went for a walk into the woods. She found herself singing some of the filk songs they’d learned at a recent convention, and Tommy Ray was entranced by her voice. She didn’t know why, but she found herself asking him to sit down on a log and wait for her. He did as he was told, and sat there calmly as she smashed his head in with a heavy rock, hitting him repeatedly until there was no head left that was recognizable as Tommy Ray. Horrified, she knew she had to get out of there, and instinctively transformed into a raven, flying off for two nights, only reappearing after Tommy’s body had been found. Since then, she’s tried to figure out why she did what she did. No one has been told of it, of course, or the other murders she’s been compelled to commit. She does everything she can to avoid being left alone with a boy, as that seems to be when the urge hits her. Fortunately, when she has to kill, she’s usually managed to fly out of town to do it. Before the Light of May, the only things she had to go on were the myths about the Sirens, but really, no one actually believed those things did they?
Since the Light of May: Taylor now knows what she is, but is still terrified to tell anyone because of what it means. She just wants to be a normal girl and would gladly give up all of it just to be herself again, fat and all.

Uh oh!!!
Saving throw!

Special Skills/Abilities: In addition to a singing voice to die for, which she never shows off, Taylor is an excellent artist and has self-published several of her own comic books.
Personal Weaknesses: </b>Dirty Little Secret: Doesn’t want anyone to know what she is, and is absolutely terrified of anyone ever finding out.
Murderlust: Obviously, as a siren, she has to kill. She’s usually able to at least fly away to somewhere else to avoid killing someone she knows or might know, but as she gets older, it gets harder and harder to do so.
Family: Particularly her sister. While her parents have given Jessica much more attention than Taylor ever got, she still loves her sister very much and will put her sister’s welfare or needs above her own.
Out of Shape: As a woman of size, she doesn’t run very fast or very long, and doesn’t have nearly the strength or endurance a normal teenage girl her age would have.
Socially Awkward: Outside of her own group, Taylor is painfully shy and awkward in social situations. She probably has an early form of social anxiety disorder, although nothing has ever been officially diagnosed.
Personal Strengths: Computers: Knows tons about computers. Seriously. She ends up fixing them all the time for her less-techno-savvy friends.
Strategist: Those years of playing D&D and WoW haven’t been totally wasted. She’s gotten really good at figuring out situations and what the best plans of attack are.
ETC: I’ve intentionally left her sister’s disability slightly vague, in case anyone wants to pick her up- who knows, she might have some “talent” as well- I’m thinking she’d be either an elemental or psychic of some kind.
