Name: Mataiya Callahan
Age: 21
Gender: Female

Appearance

Mataiya’s hair and eyes are probably the most striking thing of her entire appearance. Her silky and smooth red hair seems to be abnormally straight up until the ends, and then it waves down two inches past her shoulder blades. The sides of her locks trail among her lightly tanned oval shaped face, dropping off past her smiling dimpled cheeks. Her eyes are a feisty fiery red color that stands out against her hair, which lends to the infatuation most men have with her. The medium-long eye lashes curl up, which extenuates the shape of her eyes. Taiya’s athletic figure stands at a minimal five feet, eight inches and despite its thin appearance, is very toned and strong. The only markings she has are two tattoos. Upon her upper right arm, she has a tattoo of a black star. On the lower section of her stomach, she has a tattoo of black roses intermixed with wire in the shape of a heart.

She wears an assortment of spaghetti strapped tanks or wife-beater tanks that rest just above her naval. [Red and black are her favorite] If the occasion calls for it and only if she has to, she will wear a tight fitting dress, which is not frilly. Not one for change, her choice for bottoms range from black hip huggers jeans that are nicely worn in, cargo pants or a black mini-skirt. To complete the outfit, she often wears black feminine combat boots that stop just below her knees or an old pair of tennis shoes. The majority of the time unless it’s really hot outside, she can be seen wearing a long metallic blue jacket that rests a few inches below her knees and has a collar. Mataiya wears a simple black choker that looks more like a belt than anything else. She also has a pair of wire rimmed sunglasses with red lenses along a silver fossil watch, which has a face that glows in the dark. Lastly she carries with her a raggedy old backpack that’s as old as she is, or almost as old.

Disposition: Chaotic neutral

Personality & Mannerisms

Mataiya has been through a lot since her birth and because of her experiences, her attitude and personality has bounced around much like a rubber ball on a tile floor. Overall, she has a stubborn affect and can at times be selfish. Once upon a time, she was a sweet girl and protected the weak. However, the more battles she participated in, the more skewed her perceptions of people became. It didn’t take long for her mood to sour immensely and her temper shortened to the point of wanting to kill someone for interrupting her sleep.

Biography

Arien and Meridian Callahan found Mataiya beneath a tree without anyone else around in the vacinity. Immediately falling in love with the bright-eyed little girl, they adopted her and raised her since they couldn’t have children of their own. On her 6th birthday, they decided to go on a trip. While on the trip, her parents were targeted by an unknown group and slaughtered. The group allowed her to live, figuring she would die since she was alone. She was never adopted but went on to learn from a scrupulous group the ways of the fire. After she was taught all she could learn, she traveled around the world, trying to find her place in it. She mainly kept herself hidden; training in order to advance the powers she was born with. The rest of her history leading up to her twenty-first birthday became nothing more than rumors and myths told by anyone that had a run in with the young female.
