Background || Talya grew up with her parents. Her father was a drug dealer, and he wound up getting arrested when Talya was about 13.

Relationships
When Talya first moved into Metric, she was placed into a house and got the rooms mixed up. As a result, Talya wound up placing her things in Chardonnay's room. After Chardonnay got angry at her, Talya formed a disliked for the girl, but still she couldn't deny that Chardonnay was pretty interesting to make suffer. As a result, Talya goes out of her way to indirectly make Chardonnay suffer, doing things such as hogging the bathroom before dances, locking her in the storage unit, doing little things around the house that bother her, ect for revenge.
Talya first met Arthur at the school cleanup, and noticed that he and Chardonnay did not get along at all. As a result, Talya wound up locking him with Chardonnay in the storage unit. She didn't predict the end result of a rumor but goes along with it. Arthur is also her new housemate. She finds Arthur more funny than anything, since he's never done anything that really bothers her. To Talya, he's the perfect person to use to piss off Chardonnay.
