Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
You are stubborn and you know it. Self aware and hard to impress, you have a close circle of friends and like it that way. You are beautifully unique, with interests that span far and wide. Likely the dark horse of the family, you've always felt misunderstood. You are a creature of habit and avoid change if possible. You are a selfless and giving lover, seeing your partner as the light of your life. Those who are lucky enough to get to know you, would do anything to keep you within their lives. You are unapologetically yourself and value others who are the same. But sometimes, you miss out on opportunities due to your stubbornness and perhaps feel like life is passing you by. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone my love, everyone you encounter there will find you just as exquisite as you always hoped to be.

For the most part, I agree. However there is one small thing that doesn't really fit my portrayal... Taliyah isn't self aware. She often acts without much thought, the little voice telling her not to do it usually just a bit too late. That is, unless it's Noxian Taliyah. If it's Tali from that au, I support. 1000%.
Noxian Taliyah should be illegal
She's so much fun to draw
This has made it's way to my dash again, but this time I want to make it more interesting. Here is Noxian Taliyah's results.

You are Medea from from The Argonautica by Apollonius and Medea by Euripides. You are ambitious, ruthless, and unforgiving in getting what you want, and unapologetic in your self-preservation. The truth is, you have let your romantic ideals get the better of you before, and time and time again you have had to relearn how to build up those walls and thorns that guard it. The only person who can protect you is yourself, and you have learned that the hard way. Sometimes stoking that fire of hate and anger in your heart hurts more than whatever you're fighting against.

I got some help from a pal, and I have more info on Noxian Taliyah!! He really helped me, and if he had tumblr, I would @ him. What he helped me decide was this:
Taliyah is mentally troubled. She's kept in this land as a weapon, and it sickens her. While she still holds a trusting personality, Tali comes off as cold to those who have broken it. She's almost unwilling to give second chances... almost.
Each and every death at her hands grows a deeper hatred for LeBlanc, who we decided holds Taliyah against her will in metaphorical handcuffs. Each scar that grows on her body, every person she has to take out, it all but fuels the fire.
We were also toying around with the idea of Swain helping Taliyah so she'd be on his side, but I'm not so sure about that. If I do decide to stick with that, then she's on good terms with him, and friendly to Darius and Draven. At least, as friendly as she can be to people like them. Darius isn't that bad though
Thanks for coming to my ted talk~! โก
@heredis-sanguinis started โก The nights were never quiet in Noxus, especially in Prime. It was known for the hours after the sun had set, to be more dangerous to wander the streets and alleys of Noxus alone. Not just for muggers and thugs causing violence and worse. No, there was talk that monsters prowled the streets as well. From the top of a roof, Vladimir kept his eyes on a familiar face. Or rather, a familiar pulse, as only he would. "Good evening, Stoneweaver." he called out. (For Noxian!Taliyah, from Vampire!Vlad)
Noxus . It always interested Taliyah , and even after six years of living in this hell , it seems that there's still so much more to learn . Nevertheless , the soldier kept at it .
It was yet another night . The stone weaver was on her way home after a disappointingly slow day , when she felt something . A warning , deep in her gut . Taliyah wasn't alone . . . Really , it was a mistake on the other's part . Never sneak up on a stone weaver .
Her hazel eyes glanced around the dark street , hand reaching to the pocket of her uniform shorts . In there was a clean blade . The weapon wasn't needed in the end , when a familiar voice called out .
" Sire ? " The freckled soldier questioned , turning to the direction of the voice . Up , on a roof , a silhouette of a man came into view . " Good evening , Sire . You know , a gentleman doesn't stand on a roof while speaking to a lady . "
Taliyah's teasing tone hide her confusion rather nicely . What was a man like Sir Vladimir doing on top of a roof on a night like this ? Was he lost ? Hurt ? These questions shot through her mind quickly , though were shut down just as soon as they were thought up . Vladimir is strong , she knew . He's here for a different reason .
Whatever the reason , Taliyah was to help . Even if she isn't very fond of it .
heredis-sanguinis:
Sire... Now that was a term seldom used to address him, or anyone in this day and age of the Empire. How pleasantly polite.
โIโm afraid the juice is more of a โhealthyโ choice. From your previous question regarding to โwhat I amโ, I would at least assume you to know even remotely about me, child. As a hemomancer, healthy blood is of the utmost importance. My entire dietary tendencies and preferences are in relation to that.โ
He made some motions with his hands and arms, as he explained. Obviously in a proud tone of voice, both towards his craft and decision to take nutrition in consideration and act accordingly.
โNow allow me a question, child. Care to tell me more about yourself? You obviously have some notion of knowledge of me, but I have none of you.โ For a moment, his pale eyes flashed a glint of crimson, before soon being almost completely absent of colour again.
Hemomancy . . .ย Yeah ,ย okay ,ย thatย makesย moreย senseย thanย aย vampire .ย Vladimireย wasย alsoย aย bit scary ,ย inย herย opinion .ย What ?ย Hisย eyesย literallyย justย changedย color !ย Donโtย tellย herย thatย isnโtย justย aย bitย creepy .ย Taliyahย hadย tensedย slightlyย whileย noticingย this ,ย theย stoneย underย herย heelsย cracking .
Donโtย scareย aย stoneย mage .
โย Oh !ย U-Uhm ,ย well ,ย Iโmย justย usingย myย freeย timeย forย somethingย thatย wouldย beย worthย while .ย Myย nameโsย Taliyah- !ย Iโmย alsoย aย mage ,ย but . . .ย unpredictable .ย Isย thatย theย rightย wayย toย putย it . . ?ย ย โ
Taliyahย rambledย offย nearย theย end ,ย awkwardlyย ย rubbingย herย wrists .ย Sheย isnโtย exactlyย theย bestย atย speakingย toย peopleย thatย couldย easilyย kill her .ย Shouldย sheย fixย that ?ย Afterย all ,ย nowย sheโsย aย citizenย ofย Noxus .
Theย youngย adultย chewedย theย insideย ofย herย cheekย inย thought .ย Thereย isย noย wayย toย saveย this ,ย isย there ?ย ย โ U-Uhm . . .ย Basically ,ย rocksย reallyย likeย me .ย ย โย Wayย toย go .ย Sheย smiledย gently ,ย aย softย blushย dustingย herย freckledย cheeks .ย That . . .ย Wasย embarrassing .
Gosh , even his words were elegant . It's fine to feel intimidated , right ? Doesn't matter . Either way , Taliyah is staring at him with amazement . The gaze was short lived , though , glancing away for courtesy(and whatever image she had left) .
" The only thing I've tried was Ionian green tea . What makes fine Noxian wine different from fine Ionian wine ? "
If Taliyah was a cat , curiosity would have killed her years ago .
Acidic taste . . . And aesthetics . Was that all it took to win him over ? It made the young woman smile a bit at how ridiculous it was . Was that the same reason he likes pomegranate juice ?
" Really ? It sounds interesting . . . Is that the same reason you like pomegranate juice , sire ? "
Of course , she asked . It was a good thing to learn about those above you , correct ? At least he was kind enough to not suck her blood . Wait , no , he's not a vampire โ

"Colossal tits." Proceeds to poke them.
" What gives ? ! "
Okay, okay, I hear you- ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย but what if we, instead, try slaughtering them all?
Public speaking was just never really my thing, you know?
