Early life
Born and raised in Tailfeather in the Dravanian Forelands, both of Talia's parents were hunters and trainers of wild chocobos. Talia naturally took an interest in the birds herself and helped her parents with their work. The merchants that bought chocobos from Tailfeather often spoke of a grand casino called the Gold Saucer. A sparkly-eyed Talia decided to seek out her fortune there, rather than continue to toil away in Tailfeather forever.Upon discovering that MGP can't be exchanged for gil, she had to change plans in order to make a living another way.
Career
After working as everything from a waitress to a timeshare saleswoman across Eorzea, Talia chose to try her luck in Ul'dah once more. Over the years, she has launched multiple businesses including a cosmetics brand, a make-up line, a clothing boutique, and a jewelry store. Most of these businesses have now either been shut down, or Talia's shares were sold to new management.Her latest business venture is TBD in Dawntrail!

Characteristics
A confident, friendly young woman who enjoys the finer things in life. A first impression of Talia is that of someone who is carefree, flirty, and just wants to have fun. She delights in playfully teasing friends and strangers alike, and loves being the center of attention.In truth, this is a persona Talia uses in social settings. She is more observant and cunning than she wants people to believe; Talia is quite skilled at reading the emotions and intentions of others, and enjoys studying people in social settings to figure out what makes them tick. Because she is such a skilled actress, lying comes as naturally to her as breathing, which can make it difficult for her to form authentic bonds with others.
