Beauty Standards
Human
The young woman is a tall and lanky young lady. She stands just shy of six feet and weighs just enough to fall into a healthy BMI. Talisman has a soft, tanned complexion with deep reddish undertones and a warm, almost golden hue. She has long, jet black hair that run down the length of her back, stopping just before her rear. Her hair is thick with gentle waves, ending in perfect curls. Talisman has soft, ocean blue eyes with a tint of golden amber flecks. Her face is heart shaped, with a strong defined chin, and high yet soft cheeks. She has long defined eye lashes and eyebrows. Talisman typically wears faded and dark blue jeans with graphic T-shirts. In the winter, she prefers thick hoodies over any other type of cold weather gear. She also tends to wear tennis shoes more often than any other type, and typically wears small bracelets and necklaces.

Sabre
Talisman's Weresabre form is an impressive feline. She stands four feet and a half tall as a quadrupedal predator, and weighs in as one of the heaviest Weresabres around. She has long top canines that protrude past her lower jaws, roughly seven inches long altogether. Talisman's sabre form has a thick and stocky build, being very heavy and muscular. She has a soft, golden-brown coat with thick, black stripes that run along her spine, across her tail, and down her legs. Talisman's sabre form has soft, ocean blue eyes with a strong tint of golden amber, that appear as though they are completely golden in brightly lit rooms. She has a medium-length tail.

Hybrid
As a habrid, Talisman stands up-right at roughly nine and a half feet, and weighs in at just over four hundred pounds. She gets a thicker frame, lended to her from the Weresabre side, densely packed with muscles. Although she retains much of her soft, heart shaped human face, Talisman's sabre shows with it's stubby maw. Her human canines also grow longer, although only by a few inches - just enough to poke out underneath her lips. Her hands, arms, and legs grow thicker, and her nails grow longer and sharper. She also regains her tail, although just slightly shorter than in her Weresabre form. Her eyes remain the same in all of her forms. Talisman's long, wavy-to-curly hair shortens to just thick tufts - similar to a lion's mane - in her sabre form.

Powers
Call Flesh: Weresabres have the ability to heal the flesh of those that they are close to. This is typically done through touch, but exceptionally powerful Weresabres can accomplish this by focusing on calling the flesh and being in close proximity to their hurt friend. Talisman can call flesh even without touching the wounded individual, but it takes her undivided concentration and focus. Talisman cannot be distracted at all, in order to accomplish this.

Super-Sonic Speed: They are known to be able to run exceptionally fast, even for a were. The fastest Weresabres have been clocked running at 500 miles per hour. Talisman comes close to this record, clocking in around at 450 miles per hour, at her top most speed.

Suppression Ability: Weresabres are able to go a significantly long time without ever needing to shift into their beast. Although they are extremely rare to find - they were thought to be extinct for this exact reason. Many Weresabres have been known to go years upon years, without shifting. Talisman is known to go 4-5 years without shifting, in order to maintain a low profile. However, going longer than 1-2 years is not advised, as it can cause abrupt or violent shifts with little warning. This allows them to carry fetuses to term more easily.

Scent Camouflage: Weresabres are able to disguise their scents. Typically thought to erase their scents, weresabres actually take on the scents of nearby weres instead. They'll actually manipulate their genes through focused thought to release the same pheromones and scents as other species of weres - typically other felines, such as werelions or wereleopards.

Painted Personality
Talisman is a pretty cunning and smart individual. Although she's more likely to speak her mind in most situations, she knows when to bite her tongue and hold back. She'll often 'feel' out the room in new or potentially dangerous situations, and act accordingly around them. She is by no means a push-over, however. Talisman will stand up for herself and the friends she loves and truly cares about.

Likewise, she's just as apt to start a fight when she runs across a particularly abrasive personality. Unless Talisman can tell she's at an obvious disadvantage or that it is unwise, she's quick to try to put someone back in their place. In the past, Talisman was the Vaditaja of her Weresabre pride. She ruled without a Vaditajs on her own, though this was thousands of years ago.

She is often witty and sarcastic. Sometimes, she can be a little ' too funny', often acting humorous when it is inappropriate and uncalled for. Talisman also has a habit of "slipping away" and taking off when she feels as though she is wanted or is too popular. She prefers to keep a low profile, carrying herself as inconspicuously as possible.

She has a fondness for submissive and shy individuals, often putting herself in harm's way needlessly to protect them. Talisman tends to judge people immediately off of their first impressions, as well, and is known to put all of their worth to her based off of the first impression alone. She drinks warmed coffee that is not piping hot, with a "decent" amount of sweetener, and enough creamer to give it a creamy tanned coloration.

Talisman also loves music. She is often quoting random lyrics, and has been enamored with most genres of modern-day music. Her favorite color is pink, followed closely by a smoky grey. Her favorite animal is a deer - "because they taste good". And her favorite place is Marseille, France because that is where she was born (before it became the city it is currently known as).

Recollected History
Talisman has been around since early civilization of mankind. Weresabres are thought to be one of the first genetic strands of lycanthropy in existence. Most Weresabres were hunted to near-extinction, along with other ancient strands of prehistoric were-genes. Many countries and governing bodies still find these prehistoric lycanthropy strands as dangerous, and some still hunt them down to eradicate them. Although Weresabres and their prehistoric lycanthropy strands are thought to be extinct.

Talisman remembers the day that she was transformed into a Weresabre. Talisman was one of the most beloved member of her nomadic clan. They followed the migratory path of mammoths and Megaloceros (prehistorics deer). Although she was not born into a notable family heritage at this time, she earned the rank and respect as the clan leader through her continued dedication to the members of her clan. She would also plan and organize the clan hunters, and help oversee the keep and safety of the clan's offsprings.

Talisman organized one of the most dangerous hunts of her clan's existence. She ordered half of her hunters to join her (most of the best), in order to track down an "exceptionally dangerous long-toothed cat". She also instructed the ones she did not take to stay behind and to safeguard their clan. The sabre that they tracked down turned out to be a Weresabre, who attacked and killed most of her hunters. It tore into her side in the middle of the fray, which left deep lacerations. Although all of her other men were either eaten or died from the skermish, she barely managed to survive.

After Talisman completely healed, she returned to her clan. She explained what happened to the sabre that attacked them, although she lacked most of the words to adequately described the beast. She would ofen tell them that it was a "magical sabre summoned by other-worldly creatures". The first full moon was also a blood moon. She shifted into a Weresabre and completely devistated her her old clan, killing most of the remaining members. After they discovered that she was behind the assaults, they decided that she needed to be killed. Talisman fled for the safety of her life, running from them.

Talisman survived through most of the changes throughout the ages by remaining hidden. She recalls the first known sightings of Vampires and other lycanthropies, although she spent most of her earlier years in near-isolation. She has taken up several different occupations as well, from the medical field, the legal field, and smaller and more minor fields along the way. She lived in Europe most of her life, moving only when she stayed in one town for too long. Talisman has taken up many husbands, as well - notably, as a cover for homosexual men as a simple disguise.

During the medieval ages, Talisman was prosecuted as a "witch". She was associated with ungodly powers that they assumed she received from the Devil, and sentenced her to burn at the stake. The fire managed to burn her right leg pretty badly. Although she healed from the pain, she still has burn scars running halfway up her right legs. She was also captured in the early 16th century by a bad man that forced her into "exotic slavery". Wealthy families could purchase her - as they were often enamored with her unique traits - and use her as they saw fit.

The family that purchased her first would force her into prostitution and sex slavery, as well as making her a "housemaid". They were known as the Cullins, a noble family, and kept her along with several other purchased beauties. She was placed under arrest for being an "abomination" after her Weresabre was discovered, relieved of her slavery only to be sentenced to death by the guillotine. Although, another undercover Were took pity on her and helped her escape.

Talisman has been offered a spot as a Harlequin, although she's turned them down. She also envoked the Mother of Darkness' wrath by refusing all of her proposals to work with her. She was captured and tortured a few times. MoD has used several punishing methods - from severe beatings, power manipulation and burns, to rape and torture through her guards. She managed to escape after several years under Mother of Darkness' ruling thumb.

Talisman usually keeps a low profile whenever possible. She tries to remain hidden and doesn't go out of her way to be discovered. Likewise, she will suppress her Weresabre and refuse to transform for several years. Talisman usually only shifts through abrupt means, when her Weresabre fights to break free from her. She has also studied many different professions, especially since the rise of Human Rights to allow her to pursue other careers. She has a Doctors in Neuroscience, Surgery, and Medicine. She has a Masters in Science in Law, Microbiology, and Zoology. She also has a Bachelors in Business Administration, as well.
