history: tai was born to a loving and average couple, but one day her mother just went up and disappeared. she doesn't know anything of her
mother, not her looks, personality, reasons for leaving whether it be death, not ready for a child, or not loving her father. whatever it may have
been with her mother, tai never knew. she never knew since her father refused to talk of the woman. she was taught french by her father as it
was his and now her heritage. her grandparents had come from france years ago and had her father in the united states. she was taught to
speak it as her main language, of course, next to english. tai was also taught to read and write in french, until her father started to act
different and not teach her anymore. she took it upon herself to continue her studies, but was fluent in speaking french as all her father would
was speak french when he talked with her. fe expected his daughter to at least know his language verbally. once about three years of age,
when her father was a still good man, he gave her two objects that had belonged to her mother: a silver dagger with an intricate gold
design and a crystal spiraled with aluminum and hung by a thin, velvety leather string. of course, he wasn't irresponsible and let a
three year old have a dagger. he encased it in glass for her as a decoration. after that, things went downhill for her when she turned five as her
father then chose to remarry and soon became an alcoholic once married again. the vile woman he had married would sometimes have the
nerve to slap her if she did something "wrong" in the woman's book. the woman would often call her vulgar names and mumble on why a worthless
brat was to be an heiress to the rich stable company her father owned; but it wasn't worth a penny by the time she was nine. you see, tai's family
was known for raising thoroughbreds and top of the line american paint horses. it was why her grandparents came to america all those years ago.
her father became an alcoholic, severely hurting his company and his relationship with his daughter. he would neglect her by avoiding her as
she reminded him of his first wife. when he did have communication with tai, all he ever seemed to do was abuse her, whether it be verbal
or physical. he would shout at her in french: tell her how worthless she was, that she was the reason her mother left him, and on rare
occasions, call her a brat or worthless child. all she knew was to go to school, practice her english and french, sometimes
get yelled at her father the few times she did have contact with her father, and then chastised by the woman or be yelled at by her with
vulgar language. at first, she thought she had done something wrong and would always try to fix anything to make it easier for her father, but
nothing seemed to work. after a while, she began to grow cold, distant, reserved, and harbor hatred towards that vile woman he had married. if
he hadn't married her, he wouldn't had turned into what he did. it happened anyway though and she had no control over what had happened,
they were her father's own actions. after she was nine, she decided enough was enough and devised a plan to escape and run away. taighlare
was young and had no idea of safe houses or emergency lines, so all she knew was to run away and escape the people she lived with. she took
her yearling filly from the stables and ran away with the paint horse. about a year after she had left her home, she heard news about alcohol
poisoning and an overdose for a blanchett family and how their prospering company suddenly took a turn for the worst. she knew it was her
father and stepmother. being tai, though, she didn't really mourn their deaths, but she had some sympathy for her father. not so much for the
woman.
after a run in with the police for sneaking out a candy bar, she was placed into the system by a social worker. it wasn't long for her to be
adopted by a wealthy couple and their three sons. it took quite a few months, but tai's records were soon found and all her information
on who she was, or at least what was known about her. the family that ended up become her legal guardians were the dales. she was adopted
finally after a long and gruelling process of going through all the legal documents and fees and papers. she still kept her name, not really wanting
to change it to dales, and was quick to fit into the dales' daily life. her new adopted brothers were: jett, a laidback genius of a red-head and the
oldest of the three brothers, derek, a prankster with solid black hair and he was the second oldest, and finally, a bit shy and very friendly blonde,
the youngest brother, zodiak. she never really thought of them as her brothers, but she cared for them in that sense. they were her best friends.
the four were close as peas in a pod. she attended school near by with the brothers. the four went almost everywhere together and each was
extremely protective over the next. life went on though and it finally became normal for tai, she went through it like any other teen. though, she
hid things away from her new family, keeping it to herself and working through her past's problems, not wanting to drag them into it. slowly, she
started to open up to derek and he became a rather big help in her recuperation and therapy of dealing with her stress from remembering
her childhood before being adopted by the dales couple. jett and zodiak eventually were let in on her problems as well and aided with helping
their friend through it. she turned all right though and lead a pretty normal life after that, even with her scars and all. since tai was not in school
for about a year when she was younger, during the time she was on the run, she was held back a year. even though she was a year older than jett,
she ended up being in the same grade as him while derek was a grade beneath them and zodiak was two grades beneath them. each brother was
about a year older than the next: jett was a year older than jerek and two years older than zodiak, derek was only a year older than zodiak, and
zodiak was the youngest. the four friends had various adventures through their childhood.
it wasn't until tai entered high school that something came up from her past. her father's will had found its way to her. apparently there was
a request for her to attend ouran high school. it was apparently the school her father was sent to when he was her age by his parents.
he wished for his daughter to go to the prestigious school as well. to learn the things he did and to make friends with children of wealthy
families. to make connections. the dales consented to the will though, thinking it would be a good opportunity for her. so, since she was fifteen,
tai has been attending ouran high school in japan. every chance she gets, though, she returns to theresa, new york in america where her
adoptive family resides.
