- SHORT-TEMPERED
xxx»» Try as she might to keep a level head, Tally was pretty much doomed on the temper front, being the child of two fiery Gryffindors. While she isn't overly sensitive, once you do get her wound up or outraged, especially if someone is being bullied or singled out, it's a bit hard to calm her down. She has her mother's whip-like tongue and can say things she regrets in the heat of the moment, although she rarely picks fights. (But she does tend to finish them).
HONEST
xxx»» Tally is an unfailingly honest person. While she does have some tact, she does not always use it to its full advantage, and she can come across as overly blunt and straight-forward. She's certainly not one to lie to anyone's face, even for minor reasons, and she absolutely hates feeling as though she can't trust people. She's quick to write people off if she founds out they've misled her, even if they didn't think it was that serious.
STUBBORN
xxx»» Unfortunately, Tally is about as stubborn as a bull, which is to say, very. She tends to dig her heels in when confronted with an opposing opinion, and her instinct is always to argue and defend, rather than necessarily change her mind or acknowledge that someone else has a good point. While she usually isn't unreasonable, she can be, especially when she's already in a defensive mood.
RELIABLE
xxx»» Tally is a very loyal and dependable friend. She will stick by someone for as long as they're a friend to her, and she is extremely protective of her family and the people she holds dear. She's always on time for things and she always does her homework, even if she hates it. To her father's relief, she takes after her mother in that regard and didn't pick up his 'slacker genes'.
RATIONAL
xxx»» Tally prides herself on being very rational and logical, or so she thinks. She's not a very superstitious person and likes to see proof and facts, not fairy tales. She takes things a bit seriously at times, and sometimes has to be prodded out of her overly logical funks. While she is capable of blowing off steam and having fun like everyone else, she does tend to think towards the future, rather than the present.
ASSERTIVE
xxx»» Tally has never had any self esteem issues and was raised to be confident and stand up for herself, as well as others. She's not easy to push around or intimidate, and has no problem with standing her ground, even in the face of mockery or peer pressure. Rarely does she feel very badly about herself, and she has never been a shy or nervous person. She has little difficult making friends or meeting new people.
STRENGTHS
xxx»» Tally is a very honest and trustworthy person.
xxx»» Tally is assertive and confident in herself and her opinions.
WEAKNESSES
xxx»» Tally has a short temper and can be easily ruffled.
xxx»» Tally is incredibly stubborn and can be very argumentative.
FEARS
xxx»» Disappointing the people she cares about.
xxx»» Insects of all shapes and sizes.

- CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Tally is the eldest child of Toby and Ronna Walsh. Her conception was an accident, as her parents were only six months out of Hogwarts and unmarried. While they hadn't intended to 'settle down' so soon, they ended up marrying three months before Tally was born. Shortly after she was born her parents wound up pregnant again, a decision that can likely be attributed to new parent psychosis. Still, her mother argued that since they only intended to have two children, it would be easier to space them very close together, especially given Ronna's intense job as a witch watcher. Because of this, Tally's younger sister Tara is her 'Irish twin' since they are only eleven months apart. Naturally, the two have been inseparable ever since, even if they occasionally fight like cats and dogs. Growing up Tally always considered herself the more responsible and mature sister, although she was often pulled into her more rambunctious sister's schemes and pranks. As the eldest grandchild in her family, she was very excited to go to Hogwarts, and determined to be sorted into Gryffindor like her parents before her.
SCHOOL YEARS
- FIRST YEAR »» Tally was sorted into Gryffindor and her sister to Slytherin, to quite literally no one's surprise. She embraced her new house, having heard all about it from her parents, and set about making friends and exploring the castle.
SECOND YEAR »» Tally began her second year by trying out for the quidditch team, and to her delight and her parents' pride, made first string chaser as a lowly second year. Thus her year became consumed by Quidditch, although she still made time to talk to portraits and harass Nearly Headless Nick with prying questions.
THIRD YEAR »» Tally continued her time on the Quidditch team, even if they didn't do as well as she'd have hoped, tying with Slytherin for second place. She was also much busier, having chosen electives the spring before, and did not enjoy her new heavy homework load, although being able to go into Hogsmeade and buy as much chocolate as possible to stress-eat was some consolation. On the plus side, Billie came to Hogwarts, which thrilled her.
FOURTH YEAR »» Tally was overwhelmed when asked to become the vice captain for the Gryffindor quidditch team. Nevertheless, her parents were very proud, and she found it easier to adjust to her homework load this year, even if she was already worrying over her OWLs.
FIFTH YEAR »» Despite all her stress, Tally managed to have a pretty good year. During her first season as captain, she led the Gryffindor team to victory, to her shocked delight, and she did quite well on her OWLs, with all her hard work paying off. Now, if only she could figure out to talk to boys.
SIXTH YEAR »» Tally got a little better at talking to boys, but only because her and Irvine's prefect patrols overlapped. Still, did he like her... or like like her? It was the question of the century. Oh, and Quidditch went well enough, she supposed, even if they didn't take home the Cup again.
