Tara Ryzen

Scotch Golddig or better known by his drag name Tara Ryzen, is an original sim (creation of LexxBlix/AedanStarfang) who is originally from Strangerville in the Sims 4. At the start of the Sims 4, Terra has barely had a year of performing in drag under his belt. 
==Life leading up to the Sims 4==
Scotch grew up in a tiny, rickety, unstable trailer at the Strangerville Mobile Park, crammed into a tight space with his cousins; Sangria,Tanqueray, and Burgundy Golddig to be raised by their absent-minded and out-of-touch grandmother Dusty Bones. 
At some point Scotch and his cousins grew tired of living in such cramped quarters and hatched a scheme to oust the Roswell family from power. During an unknown approximation of time, Scotch and his cousins successfully managed to blackmail the Roswells and drive them out of the city, allowing for the Golddig clan to lay claim to Strangerville Overlook.

==Morgyn's Drag Race==
In autumn of 2020 it was announced that the first ever season of Morgyn's Drag Race would premiere, with Tara Ryzen being one of the twelve queens competing for the crown.
Tara Ryzen debuted on episode one; "Trash to Treasure", and took a liking to fellow "mean queen" Parsley, though the latter was less receptive to a friendship much less an alliance. During the main challenge Tara was very confident in her chances of winning, so much so that she took the first lob of garbage she found (a soiled bathing suit and a discarded lady's hat) in the dumpster and ran with it as her look for the runway.
Though Crow had warned Tara about her runway look, suggesting she modify it a bit to make it less "ugly", however Tara blew off Crow's remarks believing that she would win regardless. It was naught to be had however, as her underwhelming look and underperformance landed her in the bottom against Jackqleen Qkwueeen, who ultimately sent her home. 
==Morgyn's Drag Race: Redemption==
In March 2021 it was announced that seven Queens from the first season of Morgyn's Drag Race would be returning for a chance at 'redemption', many of whom were early outs (Tara Ryzen, Jackqleen Qkwueeen, Velvetta Baggins) and/or considered "robbed" (Exxtra, Icy, Baga Trash).
In "Last looks Redone", Tara wowed the judges and her fellow contestants alike with what Galaxia called an excellent "glow-up" and she was chosen as one of the top two for that week along with Fortuna Kookie, though she would not win the lipsync. 
The next week's challenge; "Snatchelor" had the queens (now down to six) impersonating various celebrities and entertainers in order to win over the affections of Don Lothario or James Stock. Though Tara's rendition of "Belle Delphine" was criticized (mostly for the judges not understanding the references nor knowing who Belle Delphine was), she managed to avoid being in the bottom two. 
For the "Winner's Roast", Tara roasted the top three guest queens; Caliente, Crow and Lapis, despite some of her jokes not landing super well her peers praised her attempts, noting that she had grown considerably since Episode One of Season One ("Trash to Treasure Hunties").
By the "Finale", Tara along with the remaining three queens were allowed a private session with former head judge Morgyn Ember in the meditation den. Tara reflected on her time on Drag Race as a whole, and how she had grown personally from her returning to the competition - even if for a redemption. 
Tara participated in a four queen group dance not unlike to the top four dance number of last season's finale, afterword she would show off three designer outfits for the categories of; Ravishing in Red, Best Drag and Drag Royalty. 
Because two of the top four had lipsync wins, this left Tara and Icy in the bottom two to lipsync in order to determine who would make up the top three. Ultimately while she gave a great presentation and good lipsync, Icy was chosen over Tara and she was asked if she would return for Season 2 before being asked to sashay away.
==Morgyn's Drag Race Season 2 (Unaired)==
Tara Ryzen had taken Galaxia up on her offer to return and compete on the second season of Drag Race, debuting on "HalloQueens". After the HDD Crash of 2020 and all of the footage from that season was lost, the queens were offered the opportunity out of their contracts to improve their drag and/or retain their spot on the season. Tara, like the rest of the season (aside from Darren Leek) chose to take time away to revamp her image and focus on the "Tara Ryzen Brand (TM)". 
==Morgyn's Drag Race Season 2==
Despite having been offered a spot on Season 2, Tara declined in order to better focus on her drag and build up the 'Tara Ryzen Brand'. He did however, make a guest appearance (out of drag) as a contestant on the Snatch Game.
==Morgyn's Drag Race Season 3 (Pre-Shuffle)==
It has been previously reported that Tara was once again offered a chance to compete on the show again, due to her being unable to fully compete on Season 2 because of the footage being lost and her initial offer still standing. Tara was grouped with the initial roster of 10 competing queens, four episodes consisting primarily of film intended to be used as stock or ambient footage. On the fourth episode Morgyn held a lipsync-a-thon, where all of the queens (there were no eliminations prior to this point) would lipsync for a place in the top 5. See more Test Season 3
==Trivia==
* Tara's boy name 'Scotch' is derived from a type of alcoholic beverage.
* The surname of 'Golddig' is a play on the word "Golddigger". 
* In Episode One of 'What's in the Bag', Tara revealed that she would have portrayed Leah Remini for Snatch Game had she made it that far.
* Tara mistook rap artist 'Snoop Dog' for the peanuts character during the outtake for her introduction, implying that she does not follow authentic rappers.
