Taria Aksuq

Taria Aksuq the tariaksuq is the winner of Cycle 2 of Ballyhoo's Next Top Model. She is notable for her always-the-bridesmaid, never-the-bride arc. She later went on to Guest Judge Cycle 3 and had an insanely successful reign after her win, being almost too busy to show up for that gig.
== Personality/Background==
Taria is a sweet girl who wants to show the world that not all tariaksuqs are rabid evil spirits hellbent on murdering innocents. She's shy, thoughtful, and artistic, with trouble opening up to others, but once she does, she is quite sure of herself. She knows her talents but she's insecure about showing them off, and always scared to rub somebody the wrong way, despite how naturally lovable she is.
== Cycle 2 ==
Taria entered Cycle 2 with the desire only to show the world that tariaksuqs could be pretty and kind too, not just monstrous in ugliness and personality. She accomplished that pretty much right away with a stellar shot referencing Camila Cabello in Week 1, just missing out on FCO, and from that point on, she was nearly always in the top, but struggled to hit that final mark of getting the FCO. She talked to her trusted on-set therapist Dr. Quintessa Quacks about this, and befriended other contestants like Adara, Zuri Abimbola, but most of all Cher Noble, who she bonded with over their monstrous natures. Dr. Quacks betrayed her at the Final 7 by thrusting a salt-rubbed knife into Taria's wound when she barely missed out on FCO again, allowing Dr. Quacks to invite Hammah Baker on the first class flight and specifically call out that she was taking the "most deserving" despite Taria's track record. However, Taria didn't let this destroy her, and instead, vowed to work even harder as a result. She then crushed the entire overseas phase, never placing below top again and winning 3/4 of the available FCOs, until she was able to wipe the floor with Hammah Baker in a portfolio battle. She was crowned a very deserving winner.
