Talim (Soulcalibur)

Talim, also known as Tarimu, is a character from the Soulcalibur series.
== Charactah Account ==
Born in a remote Southeast Asian village, in what would become the modern-day Philippines, Talim was the daughter of the village's shaman and raised as a priestess of the Wind Deity. Talim's life was peaceful, spent mastering her dual elbow-blades and learning to invoke the Wind Deity's power, until she became aware of Soul Edge's existence and set out to cleanse the cursed sword's corruption from the world.
Talim is strikingly meek, innocent, kind, moderate, and nice in contrast to the rest, often attempting to dissuade opponents from fighting, and constantly showing mercy to her defeated enemies. Her comments often reveal self-doubt and worry. She often does not blame others for their actions, as shown in her SCIV ending where she forgives Algol for his actions, and sometimes will resurrect dead characters who were close to certain other characters, as shown in the same ending where she resurrects Algol's son, Arcturus. She has an ability to read the wind, often taking advice from it, as well as asking the wind to guide her in her journey. Overall, she is a kind-hearted character, and thus is aligned with good characters.

== Trivia ==
* Not including Yoda, Talim is the second shortest character in the Soul series after Amy, so long as Amy is not wearing heels.
* Talim has been recorded to be the first character to debut in the Soul Series at age 15. The second character to debut at this age is Leixia.
* All of Talim's stages in the Soul series represent elements of nature: Village of the Wind (wind), Water Mill Valley (Water), and Distant Marsh/Sleeping Marsh (Earth).
* Even though she was considered to be Filipina on her debut, she never actually had any realistic features of that racial background until Soulcalibur III, when her skin was shaded darker with a light, but tanned complexion.
* Most of her move names are written in Tagalog, one move (Tagga na Kamay) literally meaning "Hand Severance".
* Her weapons were originally intended to be alive or have some kind of life to them, but the developers dropped the idea due to its complexity.
* Talim, Natsu, and Tira share their voice actress, as they are all voiced by Kate Higgins.
* Talim's Slide Attack is different from the other characters. When she slides, she trips and falls head-first to the ground, whilst other characters simply slide to the ground. This may be an allusion to Talim's clumsy nature.
* Talim's pet Bird is named Alun, which means "Wave".
