Appearance
Physical Description The most noticeable thing about Tar is her size she is one of the biggest if not the biggest girl in school. She’s just a bit over six two and tends to tower over quite a few people. There is very little about the girl that can be considered small. Even her frame is quite thick and quite muscular for a girl. She has a more masculine frame than your average though recently she has slimmed a bit so her feminine charms are a bit more obvious.
Her face ovalish with a pronounced chin. The only small thing on her body is her nose which while it does look alright it doesn’t quite seem to fit in with the rest of her as if she had stolen someone else’s nose. She has distinctly almond shaped eyes that are an odd washed out hazel sort of color. There eyes are usually framed by rather long think false eyelashes. Her face is almost always covered by a thick coating a make face makeup and various layers of other makeup she is rarely seen without. Another thing she is unlikely to be found without are her piercing. She has one in her right eyebrow and nostril.
Clothes wise she’ll just about anything she wants to. Though black does tend to be a reoccurring theme she’s just as likely to wear something like leopard print or black and white stripes anything most people wouldn’t be caught dead wearing. She is particularly fond of more dramatic styles such as feathers, leather and spikes. She has gotten many a detention for adding to her uniform. As for shoes she will almost never be caught in anything other than her boots. Though she is quite notorious for wearing a pair of black feathered slippers when not in her boots.

Characteristics
Personality: Tara to put it nicely is not a nice person. At best you could call her apathetic, because she really just doesn’t care about people. She’s the type of person to find a crying child and simply walk away it just wouldn’t occur to her to be worried about it. She has the emotional range of a brick wall. It’s unlikely that the girl would ever figure out what emotions someone is feeling and it’s neigh on impossible that she’d actually really care. She has to strain really hard to feel anything close to sympathy even for her friends and even then she isn’t exactly the most sensitive person in the world. One of Tar’s biggest weakness’s is that she hides almost all of her emotions except for anger. She can be happy, ecstatic, or crushed and you’d never be able to tell. She tend to present a very stoic exterior because again she thinks too many emotions only show weakness.
The one emotion that Tar is very good with is anger. She feels it often and even more frequently she inspires it. Tar is very easily angered even a word can set her off. The girl has spent most of her life angry. She is very comfortable with that feeling. Because of the fact that she does feel anger almost all the time she rarely holds a grudge. She’ll be angry she’ll react and then she’ll forget all about it. She also angers others rather easily as she is a very blunt girl. She’ll say what she’s thinking no matter who’s heart she crushes in the process. She’s not the most eloquent of people, but her words leave little to imagination.
Despite the fact that she pretends other wise Tara is very image conscious. Not so much the physical appearance, but personality wise. It’s important to Tara that she been seen as a formidable even intimidating person. She could not tolerate the idea of people seeing her as soft. She’d rather people fear her than ever for a moment think her vulnerable. She goes to great lengths to make certain that if nothing else she is seen as strong. She’s goes as far to make certain that she has no attributes that might be considered weak. One of those traits is intelligence. The girl actually has a mind that many would envy she can with little effort take in and interpret almost any information. Classes really are no trouble to her at least not the book ones. However she goes to a great deal of effort to ensure no one knows just how smart she is. She feels that people respect physical brute strength far more than a brilliant mind. She gets good grades, but everyone assumes that she intimidates the professors into giving them to her. As more often than not she gives off the air of troll rather than that of genius. She’s even careful to talk dumb, because she knows her real vocabulary is rather out of sorts for the image she projects. However she is very good at her act. Even her friends don’t understand how intelligent she is. They have a slight idea, but they don’t understand the degree in which she takes her act.
She is naturally a very confrontational person. She can’t just leave something alone she wants to face any problem head on. She also prefers to handle any situation as physically as possible. She is not stranger to a fist fight. She in all honesty enjoys a good physical fight and will actually resort to physical violence before using her wand if at all possible. To her magic seems a bit of a wimpy way to handle something. Though she is a fan of the cruciatus curse. She’s never used it, but she’s heard about it and can’t wait till she can find someone to help her learn it. Tar is also more than a bit of a bully. She has absolutely no problem using intimidation to get something she wants.
The best quality Tara possess is her creativity. Again this is a side of her that few people know about, but Tar is actually a very artistic girl and does actually paint, but only in her home in the muggle world where it is unlikely that anyone will ever see it. That is one of her guilty pleasures. Reading is another one. She absolutely loves to read a good book of course she’s mostly into horror and gothic style prose, but this is something she’ll only do when no one else is around. She of course has been caught a few times, but she always pretends to have stolen the book from some other student. Her last guilty pleasure and probably the one she’s most worried about people discovering is her poetry she does actually write her own poetry and enjoys doing so, but would probably literally kill someone if they ever found out.
She is also a very determined girl who will let nothing stand in her way. She’ll simply obliterate anything that stands in the way and she will do so without thinking. She is the epitome of the ends justifies the means. She’ll do whatever it takes cheat, steal, kill, but she won’t feel in the least bit bad and wont loose a wink of sleep. Anyone who gets injured by her plans is just a causality who should have know better than to be in the way. There are few things that she’ll be determined over, but once she sets her mind on something there is no question. It will be accomplished.
Boggart: Everyone laughing at her weakness.

Year: 7th
Pet: A bald rat named Torture
Favourite Subject: Tar's favorite subject is transfiguration. She finds it ridiclously easy but enjoys the power to change things. However she has not taken the class in her newts because the class is so easy for her it's hard not to do a hundred time better than all the other morons in her class. She even went as far to make sure she didn't pass the class so that she couldn't give into the temptation of taking her favorite subject.
Worst Subject: Muggle studies. She hates it with a passion. It's reminds her of the world she really has no particular like for, but she continues to take it because he friends find it funny.

History: Tar came into the world big and screaming. It was a cold November night with a snow storm like no other brewing outside. The newborn baby wailed almost as loudly as the wind outside the windows. The weather was not a good omen and Tara of course lived up to this bad omen with a vengeance. Even when still an infant she was a physical and hard to please thing. Often biting and hitting.
As she got older things really didn’t get better. Her older brother was actually quite terrified of the girl by the time she was six. She treated her brother as a punching bag much more often than she treated him as a brother. At the age of six her mother passed away and Tara barely batted an eye. It was as if her mother’s death meant nothing to her. Of course she was deeply affected by it, but she’d never let anyone know. The event however did cement one thing that she definitely without a date hated her father. Even though her father had nothing to do with her mother’s car accident she laid every bit of blame on him. After all it was his fault that she had went out late to go pick up some groceries. This is something that Tara has never and will never forgive him for.
After this day she has made it her life goal to piss off that particular man whenever possible. At the age of six she started school and was on the first day suspended for hitting other students. She never did fare very well in school she was expelled twice before the age of eight. Then her father sent her to a private school geared towards children with behavior problem. She of course still caused many fights, but she never did manage to get expelled even though she had tried very hard.
At the age of eleven she received her letter from Hogwarts and she nearly killed her brother by strangling him, because she thought it was some sort of stupid joke. She was not happy when he father looked at the and also grew very angry with her brother accusing him also of playing a joke. It seems that her father had gotten a visit from a rather weird couple who claimed that his daughter was a witch. This was of course completely insane and completely unacceptable to the man. This fact and this fact alone is the only thing that prodded her into finding out that the letter was indeed genuine. She was thrilled that there really was a magical world surrounding her own very lame world.
She was probably the most excited person on the train on her first trip, but of course she looked as if she couldn’t care less. She wasn’t impressed at all by the wall you walked through, or the owl filled cages, or anything like that. On the train she met the three people who would be about her only friends in the entire school. After that day she made herself quite comfortable at Hogwarts. Staring more than her share of fights and getting more detentions than any one person has the right to gather.
