Being raised by pirates, Tayto is quite fluent in sarcasm and witty banter and has been known to be a casual flirt.
Tayto prefers to be around others then be solitary so if given an opportunity she will try to make an ally then a foe. She is a curious and impulsive creature and often has her nose in places they shouldn’t be, when it’s not in an ancient tome or spell scroll that is.
Uses body to communicate emotions, such as ear twitches, nose scrunching, eye rolling and tail wagging among many others. Is much more observant then she lets on.

Tayto's Story

After over 20-some years of living amongst the scum of the sea, Tayto has come to learn two very valuable lessons: To be grateful for the little things in life, however brief and bittersweet they may be… and if Tayto wants something or to go anywhere in life, she’ll have to take it herself.Tayto was the product of a drunken one night stand between a young wandering nomadic vixen and a charismatic buccaneer. After the vixen found out she was pregnant, the two stayed together for a couple of years in Freehold for the sake of their kit but after one too many fights, the vixen left leaving Tayto to be raised by her father, a junk hoarding, drunker Bilge Rat pirate. For most of Tayto’s upbringing, her father continuously squandered his earnings on random impulse buys, while aimlessly collecting mass quantities trinkets, waterlogged scrolls and torn, ratty cloaks. Wanting a better life than just pillaging and mindless drinking until her dying breath, Tayto spent a large amount of her free time as a young kit reading old scrolls and tomes that were “commandeered” by the Bilge Rat Pirates during their many raids. Over 20 years, Tayto learned to read and picked up a few useful spells along the way.Within the last year, after a pillaging raid gone wrong, her father was tragically killed by a Kul Tiran soldier. After grieving for his loss, Tayto decided that she no longer had any reason to stay with the Bilge Rats and wanted to go travel elsewhere to learn more magic and build on what she could only learn through the limited resources. After spending a good month rummaging through and selling all of her father’s accumulated hoard, the young vixen made a small fortune and decided to set sail to Zuldazar to the port of Daza’alor. For a while, Tayto lived in the area, doing small end jobs and errands to make end’s meat, while studying on the side. During one of her side jobs of clearing out an infestation of Feathered Vipers, a glint of something caught her eye: A single scale, nothing outstanding or remarkable about. When she held it in her paw, a slithering whisper hissed in her ear.

"So bright and shiny... Yes, I may be having that, richmon. Bring it to me."

As you can probably imagine, it about scared that living daylights out of the poor Vulpera. Brushing it under the rug as possibly being overworked, Tayto decided to head back to the main city to rest. While entering the north gate, the vixen noticed an unseemly large pile of trash tucked away in the corner, only to find it was a “shrine” to the Loa of Scavengers, the Lord of Thieves and the God of Garbage, the saurid loa, Jani. After an intense greeting of being held up magically by one’s neck, Tayto soon discovered that her father was also a supposed follower of the loa Jani, and all the “junk” he had been hoarding for years had been his tributes to the greedy god. And Jani wants it back.“I don’t care how ye do it, richmon, you will bring me my offering, or it will be you who be the offering, hekhekhek~” before briefly turning the terrified vulpera into a tiny saurid to make a point. Seeing she had no other option then to spend the rest of her days as a reptile, Tayto agreed to track down ALL of garbage items she had previously sold and bring them back to Jani.
