Long ago in the jungle, when it was protected by the goddess Gaia (Fang's mother), Talia had been the greatest threat the deity had faced. The witch, having desired immortality, came into conflict with Gaia. After many battles between the two, Gaia was able to seal Talia away; as it seemed that the witch achieved her desire for immortality. Now, Talia had learned to achieve immortality by draining the life-essence of others. So long as she keeps draining life energies of others, she will retain her youth. Had Gaia known that, she could have kept Talia away from others long enough for her to eventually turn to ash; Because if she did not continuously absorbed life-essence of people and animals, then she would have aged rapidly and died. Instead, she would be sealed in a sarcophagus deep within a jungle temple, where her body was kept in suspended animation; never to be disturbed. That is until centuries later when a war would happen in the jungle.

In my rps with a friend of mine, a war going on between my character Fang and his supervillainess caused some unintentional consequences within the jungle. The seal that held Talia could only keep her imprisoned so long as it was both A) Not disturbed and B) The jungle had not suffered enough corruption and destruction (like a war). Well, part b was already done when Fang and GoddessCrusher were waging war, but part a was done when GoddessCrusher's followers raided the jungle temple that kept Talia. Unaware of what was imprisoned there, the minions took many reaches, but ended up destroying the seal and setting her free.

Freed from her imprisonment, Talia is out for her own agenda and upon learning that Gaia is gone and what has transpired, she sets her plans in motion. She will want revenge for her defeat at the hands of Gaia by taking down Fang and destroying the jungle. At the same time, however, she will not be allying with GoddessCrusher for two reasons. First, she views herself to be above Fang and GoddessCrusher since she existed in the jungle long before them. Secondly, she laughs at GoddessCrusher's "corruption" of the jungle, feeling that only she could truly destroy the jungle; which includes getting rid of GoddessCrusher. And to be honest, she almost corrupted and destroyed the jungle completely when fighting Gaia.

It's only a matter of time before Fang and GoddessCrusher become aware of Talia's presence, and when they do, they will learn that this "ancient evil" is dangerous for both of them; since Talia was powerful enough to take on Gaia, who was stronger than Fang and GoddessCrusher.

So, onto her powers and abilities:

Magic: Talia is a master witch that utilizes dark magic.
- Dark Magic: She can summon dark tentacles, dark fire that can harm others, and corruption; being able to twist the land, animals and people into nightmarish creations.
- Shapeshifting: Talia shapeshifting capabilities are vast. She can transform into other people and into a black mist for quick transport. She also transform into a monstrous naga, which increases her physical strength.
- Life-Drain: Talia is able to retain her youth by constantly draining the life-force of others with her magic. This is done through physical contact with either the hands or through kissing. Talia's process of doing this will kill mortals, and while she can do this to animals as well, it is more beneficial for her to draining humans. Of course, the one drawback is that she will need to continually feed on the life-essence of others. While she can go for a while without doing this process, but if left too long she will age rapidly and turn to ash. So, in short, she has a hunger for immortality that must be fed. In some ways, it's kind of an addiction, but Talia enjoys it nonetheless.

Other skills:
- Knowledgeable of the jungle and terrain, as well as its history.
- Deception and Seduction. Talia is capable of deceiving her enemies and seduce her victims to get them into a position where she can drain them of their life force.
