Tacca (TAK-uh)
by hughpierre
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Dark Hide
At a glance, Tacca resembles damp velvet, but when touched, feels more like sinewy leather. It moves with a will of its own: bunching, slithering and folding in and out of itself. Sometimes a subtle ripple crawls through its black bruised indigo skin and faint veins of oily blue.Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
No one is certain as to whether or not Tacca is male or female. People simply assumed for the sake of Orianka story's symmetry in symbolism.
It made for a cleaner metaphor: "It expands when Orianka approaches, wraps around her and squeezes lightly to accommodate her form."
Personality Characteristics
Hygiene
To hear some say it: Tacca does not have a scent. Orianka would always smile and say she baths herself whenever she flies through the clouds. Which was often.
Representation & Legacy
Orianka Post Assaut
It is well established that Orianka would claim Tacca in an aerial duel after being unable to hunt anything else for 3 days. In a fury, she dived on the unsuspecting banshee and tumbled against the canyon wall for several feet until Tacca submitted. From that moment onward, Orianka wore Tacca’s form like a mantle - a trophy of victory, yes, but also a show of continual confidence in herself. The hood portion of Tacca is actually the banchee's open maw cushioning Orianka's head.Social
Hobbies & Pets
Orianka
Before Tacca, it was a long thought-of myth that banshees could be tamed. A myth that originated from the shadow cloaks of the extinct Tuskin; where demons would lash out on command from their masters' shadow. Modern listeners rationalized the tales to them being the hides of dead banshees worn as ceremonial cloaks for the powerful. After Tacca, people now realize a path to fight, though no one has been brave enough to repeat Orianka's legendary fall.
