History: As a foal, she witnessed her parents being eaten by a cougar. But then she fell asleep as if sedated, and when she woke up she saw a young foal only a bit older than her, her now- step- brother, Acarapi. They became so close they considered themselves siblings, and it's been that way since. They grew up together, colt and foal to stallion and filly. They lived with Bullet, another stallion their age, for quite a bit, and then they were on their own for a little while. When Talise was on a walk on her own one of those days, she found a resemblance between herself and this older, more braver looking stallion. She could count the beats of his heart slowly dying, she could understand his thoughts, everything. Talise knew this was an unknown brother of hers. His name was Marichi, not many people knew him or knew that he had a sister. Talise was torn. She saw a cougar up ahead. She read her brother's mind, and found out that he had been alive for longer than she herself had been, and that he knew that she was a relative, and was going to protect her from the cougar. She felt so bad that her brother's last act would be protecting her from death, but instead, it was his death. She decided to run, sensing Marichi's warning coming from his last breath withdrawn. She and Acarapi ran away from their lives their, and decided to find Bullet, which they did. Talise still couldn't shake the feeling away, though. But now she could at least live, and sense her brother's presence, following her, protecting her. She still lives with Acarapi, and tries to forget the horrible day. She still gets sensitive if anyone says something about death to her, and will charge them, even if it's her best friend or brother. She and Acarapi do sometimes visit Lakota people, and that clears her mind.
