Full Name: Taja

Pronunciation: Tah-jah

Name Inspiration: Taja comes from the Estonian words for Wind ("Tuul") and Chaser ("vahistaja"). It was also noticed after she was named that it could just be seen as a shortening of "Vahistaja" XD But I kept both inspirations there as it was meant to be a combination. X3 She doesn't have a last name since I couldn't think of one and ended up deciding she has amnesia from a huge concussion she got during the attacks.

Nicknames: Taj (She mainly goes by Taj)

Age: 21

Species: Wind

Gender: Female

Symbolized: No

Color Mutation: No

Backstory: Unlike most pups, Taja had a Healer and a Peacemaker for parents. Due to her primarily serene childhood, she grew up very gentle and even-tempered wolf. She could often be found observing either her mother as she solved disputes or her father while he was at work in the Healer's Den. When not doing this, she spent her time playing around and flying with the other pups in the pack.

When the attack started, Taja was sent away with the other pups. However, she wasn't careful enough during the attack, and one of her wings was struck by an Electric attack, causing it to become briefly paralyzed. With her wing nonfunctional, Taja ended up crash landing, receiving several scars and a concussion in the process and being knocked unconscious. When she woke up a couple days later, she was missing bits of her memory and could no longer remember her last name. She spent several days wandering around in confusion, unsure of what to do or where to go. She was eventually found by another Wind survivor and brought to the Ghost Pups. Despite her memory loss, she immediately felt at home with the other survivors, regardless of their species or whether she thought she knew them. She grew to look up to Kareny and saw her as somewhat of an older sister, based on how she acted and how much authority she had. She spends most of her time in the Healer's Den, having managed to retain the knowledge her parents taught her, and eventually found a friend in Hanaka Yamamoto, a Poison Survivor, along with Micaiha, and she admires their vow to never fight again.

Personality: In her youth, Taja was kind and serene towards all members in her pack. She would often break up arguments between bickering pups as taught by her parents, keeping peace and not being one to start any fights. When the Shadow Clan attacked she was left helpless as she tried her best to escape the oncoming Wind wolf's claws. After she lost some of her memory, she became quiet at first, scared and confused as she didn't know what had happened or what was going on or even where to go. Once she was found, she opened up to the Wind wolf more than anyone else. She would do as she was told and mainly stick to the Wind survivors until she eventually opened up to the rest of the pack. The wolves she considers herself closest to are Kareny, Micaiha, and Hanaka.

Charm Origins: No charms

Scar Origins: She has a scar on her belly, two scars on her neck, and another scar on her head. She gained these from her crash landing.

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Desired Rank: Healer/Peacemaker or whatever you think fits her best. (Not accepted so I kept this)

Family: Unknown

Love Interest: Daiki Arno (made by ) (however, if you don't want this to be in, you may take it away)

Character song(s):

Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

In Flames by Digital Daggers


Fun Facts:

Just like the other three entries, I procrastinated quite a bit to get this special little bean done.

She is the second entry of mine to be kind to all wolves due to her parents (Hanaka doesn't count since her parents were both assassins and tried to teach her to fight while still being nice to other wolves, she just didn't want to hurt another wolf)

She was inspired by a childhood friend I once had when I was still in elementary school, so she has a deep meaning to me. (The person I based her off of is also a girl so that made it easier)

Eevee has once again helped me fix all of the inaccurate mistakes of this entry!

Unlike my other three entries, her first name was from me although Eevee did combine it.

I did want scars, I just hadn't thought of the placement until I wrote the rough-cut of the backstory which was then edited by Eevee  like all of my other entries except Sewa. She came up with Sewa's backstory all by herself although I did give some ideas for what I wanted.

Taja was the only wolf I didn't have a clue of what to write about for. (Ketsashi doesn't really count since after reading the info box I knew what I wanted)

Once Eevee saw my outline for her, she pointed out that it looked like I was going for Healer which was pretty unique and I didn't see anyone else go for Healer specifically (when I first started her, that is).

Originally, this was my Sand entry but I had to change quite a bit when Wind came since I was a little late for Sand..

She was always going to be based off a childhood friend. I just didn't know which one until reading the info box.

I was originally going to give her color mutated eyes, but decided against it when I saw how many entries already had them. I eventually went with baby blue eyes.

She is my first and only wolf to be submitted with a crush on another fan character that's not a headcannon (it could be changed to one though)

She was always planned to not have charms.

Unlike Ketsashi, she didn't have "love at first sight" with Daiki. She got to gradually get to know him before getting feelings for the Wind male.

She was originally going to be bisexual with a female lean but this was changed when lovestarscream asked if either mine or Eevee's wolf would be mates with her male. I wasn't 100% set on making her bisexual so I agreed but stated I could change my mind.

As I said before, all my characters will have headcannons but I'm unsure if this one will as I don't know what it'd be.



Huge thanks to lovestarscream for making the basis for her digital art and to Eevee for fixing her bio and picture.
