Tasanee

Tasanee is a Blood Talon Cahalith member of the Lodge of Songkran.

Overview

Her name means "beautiful view," but what she has seen in this life so far has been far from beautiful. Her memory of the events that lead her to this point is not absolute; it comes in fits and starts, often while dreaming or during those moments during meditation. These horrible memories - of being lost and starving in the jungle, of eating one of her old packmates, of vomiting up bits of blood and bone and gristle - hit her like waves and then receded like a swift undertow.

How she became so debased - perhaps she was even one of the Broken Souls - remains unclear to her. What forced her down that path? Why was she left mad and frantic in the rainforest, counting ants on a log or arranging leaves in strange patterns? She felt like a distant observer to her own life. Still, the realities of what drove her that way evade her.

What is clear is how the Songkran saved her. She thought they were food, and she went after them with a ravening need. They cast the waters upon her and took her away with them, they set about the years-long task of bringing her out of the darkness and into the light. It was never easy. Sometimes they gave her peace. Other times they gave her pain. It is no simple thing, learning again how to be Uratha, remembering how to belong to the People she once left. But somehow they managed, and now Tasanee is one of their proudest accomplishments. She leads the charge against the Leech Hosts, and she herself has brought three other imbalanced Forsaken to the fold in order to retrain their souls toward the light.

Her life is good, and is nearing a beautiful view. The spirits will speak to her again, and the Shadow is no longer out of reach. She can once again fulfill the tasks put forth by Father Wolf. Tasanee is still haunted, though. Those memories come, and with them follow those dark urges. From time to time, she tastes the tang of Forsaken flesh, upon her tongue and between her teeth, and in the moments between seconds she wonders what it would be like to take just one more bite.
