### First Appearance

Page 327 *(full)*

**Tahlia Braith** is the youngest member of the Braith Family. Her weapon of choice is a series of forty decommissioned Atlesian Talos androids she has fixed up for combat.

## Appearance

Tahlia is a fairly short teenage girl with white skin and blue eyes. Her dark blue hair is tied in a ponytail. She wears a crop-top style hooded sweater over a black undershirt, and has a pleated blue and white skirt. She also wears over-knee blue boots over black thigh-high stockings.

## Personality

In stark contrast to her eldest sister Kamala, Tahlia is quiet and non-confrontational. She desires to avoid making things too tense and instead asks the Lincoln Clan and their guests, Robin, Akane and Irving, to make things easy for them. In this regard, she somewhat echoes Gardner's sentiments of making things brief and merciful.

When confronted by Irving, Tahlia seems afraid of the impending conflict and later states she does not have the energy or will to fight anyone.

 Abilities and Powers

Tahlia is a formidable combatant not in terms of her attacks, but her defensive manoeuvres. She uses hand springs and flips to deftly avoid any attack coming her way, and backs it up by using her Talos soldiers to attack in her place.

### Semblance

*Main article: Repulsion*
Tahlia's semblance is known as "Repulsion". Tahlia can repel anything she so desires with equal or even greater force, allowing her to maintain her slothful disposition. This is not limited to attacks; she can also repel objects or other people in a limited form of telekinesis which lacks any control over which direction the target is repelled. Theoretically, Tahlia could also repel the floor beneath her feat to achieve an extremely high jump or a brief period of levitation.

### Weaknesses

Like the other Braiths, Tahlia's aura is unstable to the point that increasing her emotional state too much will cause it to shatter. More threatening to her, though, is her lack of motivation to fight.

## Relationships

### Kamala Braith

Tahlia is fearful of Kamala, and seemingly the most lucid when it comes to examining her stance on the world.

### Gardner Braith

Tahlia and Gardner have possibly the only relationship within the Braiths that is anywhere close to functional or healthy. Tahlia actively cares about her elder brother, and asks him to desert the Braiths with her. She identifies that Kamala's philosophy has got inside his head, but acknowledges that his ideals may not necessary align with hers.

## Trivia

### Colour Naming Rule

* The name "Tahlia" is a variant of "Talia" meaning 'dew from god' in Hebrew, and possibly 'near water' in the ancient Aboriginal language.
