## Biography

### Early Life

Tallulah was born on the 10th May 1995 to Wallis and Tea Conway. When she was nine-years-old both her parents died, leaving her in the custody of her elder brother, Nathan.

Nathan worked as a Firefighter to support Tallulah through school and later University.

### University

Tallulah studied Art History while at a University based in London. Whilst there she met her best friends; Aurora and Cameron. They became roommates but in reality they were much more than that. They became her family.

### Brighton

After her undergraduate studies, Tallulah moved to Brighton to complete a Masters. She had been excited about her new course. Whilst there she met Rick Roderick. They dated for a few weeks before he raped her in her dorm room. She left Brighton and abandoned her Masters.

### Returning To London

Upon her return to London, Tallulah met Jarrod Thorpe. Eventually, she picked back up her masters at the University she had done her bachelor degree.

### Rick's Trial

## Physical Appearance

Tallulah has long blonde hair and it's usually straight except when she chooses to curl it. She has shining blue eyes. She is used to smiling but where before her smile was always really, after being raped, it is a mask that covers her pain.

Her voice has a lilt or a ring to it, making her sound happy, almost as if she is singing rather than speaking. Her laughter is infectious.

## Personality & Traits

Tallulah is bubbly and perhaps slightly mental. She's cheeky and usually the life and soul of the party. Her mannerisms are almost childish. After being raped, she is more withdrawn, timid and untrusting. She keeps avoiding phone calls and text messages, which is not like her. She struggles to tell her friends what happened because she doesn't want them to pity her.

Tallulah is usually very determined. She doesn't give up. Tallulah is very talkative, only really going quiet when something is wrong.
