--PERSONALITY--
Taro is confident, compassionate, and curious.
Confidence
At first glance, Taro does not flaunt the brash saiyan pride. Instead, she approaches situations with a quiet confidence and dares her opposition to test it. She puts great faith in herself and her abilities, and believes that, when it comes to fighting, it's better to show, not tell. While other sayians may balk at her lack of pride, Taro's cool-headed, measured demenor is a great asset for any ally to have on any chaotic battlefield. She believes that while there will always be someone stronger, the only being that can truely defeat her is herself.
Compassion
Viewed as a weakness by both her and her saiyan peers, Taro cannot help but be moved by the suffering of others. She often despises herself for being effected by the plights of those that oppose her or are otherwise viewed as underneath the saiyans, and thinks herself weak because of it. On many occasions, she's unable to reconcile her duty to the saiyan race with the compassion she feels for others. As such, she aims to inflict as little collateral damage as possible in battle, and almost never will kill an opponent that is unable to fight unless absolutley nessesary. While this is viewed with scorn by herself and her saiyan peers, little do they or Taro know that this compassion has the potential to turn into a great well of strength.
Curiousity
Taro approaches every situation as an opportunity to learn. She believes that she can grow and strengthen herself at every opportunity. She strives and thrives on learning new facts, techniques, and otherwise satisfying her natural curiosity. While this trait has served her well, it has also landed her in trouble. She just can't leave a good mystery alone, or let a stranger be without knowing just a few facts about them. Naturally, mysterious things and strangers can sometimes be dangerous and powerful. However, even though she's gotten into trouble a few times in the past, she never regrets it once her curiosity is satisfied. After all, the universe is vast and full of secrets, it'd be a shame to leave such stones unturned!
Misc.
Views about the saiyan empire: Taro thinks the empire is rightious in it's cause, but can be flawed in implementation. If saiyans could temper their pride with honor,their bloodlust with valor, and their wrath with justice, the saiyans could truely claim their place as the stewards and rulers of the galaxy!
Views about Earth: Never been! Curious about the legends and myths that always surround the place though.
Views on new namek: Never been! She's curious about the people, their history (what exactly happened to old namek?) and their culture, as well as their mysterious dragon balls.
Arcosian Empire: Uneasy at best. These people have always seemed to be enemies of the sayians. She views people from here with distrust.
--HISTORY--
Born as a saiyan elite, Taro was quickly thrust into leadership roles and expected to perform to and beyond her limits. She always faced each new challenge with determination, eager to learn and grow in experience and power. In one such test, she fended off While she performed admirably and often surpassed the expectations of those above her, she constantly found her authority challenged and undermined due to her less-than-saiyan-like demenor by those below her. This only drove her to train. She sought that mythical point where her authority would no longer be questioned. She threw herself into her tests and classess with rigorous abandon, approaching each with a do-or-die mindset, and aced each new task, each new challenge with flying colors. Despite her efforts, her success had the opposite effect, as she proved her strength and tactical powress, more expectations and tasks were laid upon her. Likewise, the more she did, the more there were effected by her command, and the more critics and doubters she would attract.
Her first true test came while the queen was invading Earth. While the more powerful warriors were summoned to assist with the invasion, Taro was tasked with guard a remote, but nevertheless vulnerable part of the saiyan empire. She was assigned a few green, low-class saiyans under her command. When pirates foolish or brave enough attacked, Taro lead the resistance and sent the brigands routing. She ordered for her squad to stand down once the agressors had boarded their spaceship and started to flee. It was then a prideful low-class saiyan openly challenged her authority.
In a ferocious, unrestrained battle, the lowborn initially crushed her defenses and delivered an impressive string of blows, landing an expecially powerful strike to the jaw. Taro had underestimated them! Blow after blow, Taro refused to give way and let those out-classed, feeing soul be felled by her comrade. The pirates had already yeilded! There was no more need to fight! Just when she feared her power would give way, Her compassion ignited into seething rage. With one powerful counter beat the rebeller within a inch of their life, only just reigning in this newfound power before killing her foe outright. From this, she gleamed that her compassion might be, just maybe a great source of strength. However, she also learned that her ideals would always be somewhat at odds with the empire she served--the new scar on the left side of her jaw would always serve as a reminder. This tumult of conflicting emotions would always follower her. Her loyalty to the saiyans pulling one way, and the compassion that was so much a part of her another. She did her best to shut it all out and put it behind her by applying herself dilligently to the tasks becoming of a sayian elite.
With the war and her tour over, and a time of peace once again upon the galaxy, Taro looks forward to exploring and learning all about the wide galaxy. She thinks this is the way to truely grow and reach her full potential. She hopes this newfound peace will last.
