Editing Tashlit (section)

==Personality==
Despite all she's been through Tashlit is essentially a normal young women. Still interested in having friends and having interesting experiences. She likes reading to alleviate boredom,<ref name=":2">The Other blinked.  More slender than a human could be, beneath the sagging skin she was draped in, her sleek body was formed entirely of interlinked eyes, their irises yellow and bright in the gloom.<br><br>She had found a place to hole up in, a farmhouse that had been left abandoned, the door left open and the elements and animals having left their mark.  She sat without a book to read, or anything to do, relaxed, and didn’t seem any more or less relaxed as the Other looked down at her from the ceiling.  The windows were boarded up, and the surroundings overgrown, which meant relatively little light got in. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/10/24 Excerpt] from [[Back Away 5.d]]</ref>   

Because of her heritage however she has trouble communicating she made a so-so gesture when [[Verona]] asked if she was an evil baby-eating monster,<ref name=":0">The girl nodded.  Jowls separated from and slapped against the sleek eye-flesh beneath as part of the motion.<br><br>“I love this whole thing you’ve got going on, by the way,” Verona whispered, gesturing head to toe on the girl.<br><br>The girl made a similar gesture, indicating Verona’s top and hair.  Eyeballs made their noises as they looked.<br><br>“Thank you.  Please don’t tell me you’re evil and eat babies or whatever.”<br><br>The girl made a so-so gesture again.<br><br>“I guess that’s all any of us can say, huh?”<br><br>The girl nodded.  Then she pressed a finger to her lips. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/10/10 Excerpt] from [[Back Away 5.3]]</ref> but wasn't concerned about [[Kennet]]'s ban on violence and eating babies.<ref name=":1">“Ye’re a timorous yin, aye?  She said to ask that ye be guid, ‘n to nae tae et the wee’uns, whitever that means.”<br><br>[...]<br><br>“Tha lassie liked yeh.  Verona did.  If ye’d like to be less lonely, an’ if ye’d be good, we’d have yeh.”<br><br>The Other looked between them.<br><br>“She hesitates,” Maricica said.  “Because of the restrictions on violence, hurting babies?”<br><br>The Other shook her head, false skin slapping against the sleek true body, eyes in the location wincing shut at the impact. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/10/24 Excerpt] from [[Back Away 5.d]]</ref> She doesn't eat babies of any kind of course but couldn't communicate that especially because she is a 'monster'.

Despite having once been almost human, she is unfazed by her new lifestyle.<ref name=":7">“So she’s really old then?” Verona asked.<br>[...]<br>“No, her mother is, but she’s seventeen or so.  Hatched from an egg, grew up human with only minor weirdness, until, well, she came of age, essentially.  She seems to take it in stride.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/14 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.6]]</ref>

===Relationships===
====[[Verona Hayward]]====
She and Verona got on pretty well when they first met, both indicating they liked each other's appearance.<ref name=":0"/> Like many [[Other]]s, she was drawn to the jewel [[Clementine Robertjon|Clem]] found, but was the only one [[Verona Hayward|Verona]] was able to persuade it was a trap.<ref name=":3">The girl with the eyes rose to a standing position without leaning on anything, and her skin slid around and resettled.  She started walking toward Kennet.<br><br>“Hey, hey, no,” Verona hissed.  “No.”<br><br>The girl pressed fingers together into a diamond.<br><br>“''No,''” Verona whispered.  “Please be as cool as you look.”<br><br>The girl pressed her fingers together to make a diamond again.  She started walking, and Verona nearly tripped over a bush in her haste to get in the girl’s way.<br><br>“No.  Really.  Please.”<br><br>[...]<br><br>The girl with the skin got Verona’s attention, pointed at the same location, then made the diamond shape.<br><br>“''No'',” Verona said.  “It’s some kind of Other-bait.  Why are you guys being dumb about this?”<br><br>[...]<br><br>The girl with the eyes looked down at him, moist eyes squelching with their simultaneous movement.<br><br>“I didn’t do that on purpose.  But that might be the sort of thing that happens if you keep going after this jewel.  They’re pretty territorial down there.  I think they were torching echoes and spirits on sight.”<br><br>The girl looked back at the jewel.<br><br>“No, really really.  I know you want it, but…”<br><br>The girl turned and walked away, opposite direction.  She cut across the path Sharon had been so near, then disappeared into darker woods.<br><br>“Good.  Okay,” Verona said, huffing. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/10/10 Excerpt] from [[Back Away 5.3]]</ref> Afterwards the two of them became friends, helped by Verona's innate ability to understand Tashlit's made-up sign language. Verona eventually offered to perform the [[familiar]] ritual with her.

Tashlit turned Verona down given the different life paths they were likely to take,<ref> - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/12/28 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.5]]</ref> 
but did give Verona one of her only keepsakes of her father.<ref>A copper fishhook.<br><br>“Is that your-”<br><br>Tashlit brought thumb close to her other four flattened fingers and made a motion like she was stroking the brim of a baseball cap.<br><br>“Your dad’s.  Thank you.  That means a lot.”<br><br>Tashlit thumped her heart, then made a claw shape near the heart, pointing upward.<br><br>“Same.  You can consider my door always open to you.  This is a place you can stay.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/15 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.10]]</ref>
====[[Alpeana]]====
The Mare and her get along, and Alpy has used her powers to interpret some of her dreams to help understand her better.<ref name=":6" />
====[[Maricica]]====
Thanks to the Fae's command of body language as well as other senses there was some communication between the two. Persumably she now considers her an enemy.
====[[Sabita]]====
Tashlit's only full sister, the two of them had a difficult relationship due to Sabita resenting Tashlit getting a normal childhood, they reconnected after Tashlit started changing only to drift apart again.<ref>“I think Sabita always resented me, she was bitter I got a childhood and she didn’t.  I just wanted to be with my big sister and I was a bit jealous she got to go on a long ocean-traveling vacation with mom.  At first.  Then I just felt bad.  When I started changing we had this brief period where we got along ''so well''.  It almost made up for how scary it all was.”<br><br>“Only briefly?” Montague asked.<br><br>“I think she liked that she had stuff to teach me and that was cool, but then the lessons became all about mindset, and how to think about it all, and that was mostly about being bitter.  I said no thank you to all that and she started resenting me again.  Then I went traveling.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/03/23 Excerpt] from [[Shaking Hands 9.z]]</ref> 
====Father====
Loved her dad but did see his flaws with a clear eye, when she transformed she felt bad about how it affected him.

==== [[Cherrypop]] ====
She brought a rock from [[Cherrypop]], agreeing to pay her later.<ref>“She can pay you after!” Verona called out.<br><br>“I made a sale, aaa!”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/10/12/fall-out-14-3/ Excerpt] from [[Fall Out 14.3]]</ref>
