About Taya Risper

First Two Years Training
1) Taya works to convince her mother that marriage isn't necessary yet as she's needed on the farm working with the youngstock. (Bluff to develop Charisma).

2) She will ask her father to teach her to use a whip. (Simple weapon proficency - whip)

3) She will deliberately go into the forest to conquer her fear of trees and see if she can recapture her "dowsing" sense of where power lines lie. (Concentration and Know (Arc). With Thuliss's blessing and help, she will approach Raggedy Sorda and ask if he will mentor her.

4) Taya forms part of the search party hunting for the lost children in the woods. Losing her footing, she falls into a sinkhole and spends many wet, frightened and unhappy hours before she's rescued. She is ill for a couple of weeks afterwards with a nasty fever. While she is recovering, Raggedy Sorda visits her unexpectedly and continues her training by telling her stories of the underlying ways that magic works. Her skill in spellcraft grows as a result.

Second Two Year Training
1) She'll keep working on the weapon proficiency (whip) with Thuliss.
Aim - weapon prof (whip), ability STR or DEX?

2) It seems wrong that she can't ride - so ride. Is it reasonable that this would improve CONS instead of STR? Not sure myself, so your call.
Aim - ride, ability STR technically, but if possible CONS

3) Learning Charm Person with Raggedy. I can't see any material components for that. Alternatively, she'll try and learn Sleep (so she'll take to carrying dried rose petals from Raggedy's garden to remind her of him).

She'll work on raising her CHA by talking to Raggedy and seeing what makes him tick and continuing to build a good relationship with Gelianne. That and looking after the poor dryad beset lads, her little brother, Beth and the new paladin wannabe on the block.

Taya's Background

Taya's family mean everything to her. As the eldest child, she has always felt responsible for her siblings and has never completely recovered from her guilt at leading them into the forest hunting for leylines when they were all younger. Her own pride caused her to get trapped, while they got lost. As she's got older, her sense of family has extended to take in waifs, strays and outsiders of all kinds. A spontaneous casting of Mage Hand when she saw Vladimir being beaten has made her think she must learn to control her powers before she becomes dangerous to anyone she loves.

Taya's relationship with her father is close but difficult. They are too much alike not to argue, and she doesn't like his reputation for womanising, but there is nobody else who understands her own passions so well.

Description

Taya is small for her age, light but tougher than she looks.
