Personality: Being an only child, Taryn was very sheltered, and though that would make some introverted and odd, she's actually quite the opposite. Taryn loves people and making new friends. She's quite a dreamer, which often distracts her from the drudgeries of every day life, and she can often get lost in class after doodling in her book instead of taking notes.

Though she's young, Taryn is convinced that true love exists and that there really is someone out there for everyone, and some day she will find the someone who is right for her. Until then, she enjoys spending time with the boys, and working on being less giggly and more smooth with her flirting. 

Taryn firmly believes that one can never have too many friends, and she wants to make as many as she possibly can. Even though girls can sometimes be the worst friends, Taryn is someone that you can always count on to be there for you whenever you need her. You're very lucky if you can call her a friend. She's not a very serious student for the most part, as she's more interested in the here and now, making friends and having fun, as opposed to the future.

Even though she prefers to live in the moment, she does dream of becoming an actress, a model, a celebrated and fabulous person, like her idol, Evolette McKenna.

History: Taryn's mother died from complications during the delivery of her daughter, leaving her husband a widower, and a new father at the very same time. Taryn's father, was a successful recording artist in both the Wizarding World, and the Muggle World. Her parents met at one of his concerts in Germany, and they only dated a week, before they got married.


After his wife's death, Taryn's dad was devastated, and he wrote his last song as a tribute to his love, and named it after her. For the first week of her life, Taryn lived with her grandparents as her father dealt with the loss of his wife, both the financial and emotional aspects. He quickly decided that he needed to have a more stable job, where he would be able to spend more time with his daughter, and less time on the road. With the success of his last record, he bought out the company that had produced him, and appointed himself as the President. 


When Taryn was old enough to understand why her mother had died, she blamed herself, even though her father told her that her mother had simply gone to a place where she could always be with them. As Taryn grew older, the feeling of guilt never faded.


Her family is very important to her, and Taryn often spends time with her grandparents, her grandmother is currently teaching her how to cook, and her grandfather is teaching her how to play the violin.
