5'3, 115 lbs, skinny yet healthy frame.
Name: Taylor Proelium
Nickname: Tay
Age: 16
Past before fostering: Her mother was a heavy drinker and drug user. She had many step fathers, and her original father was gone the moment she was born. Every step father and boyfriend either hated, abused, or mistreated her if not all of the above. When this happened, her mother never believed her and punished her for lying. One day, one of her teachers at school noticed the bruises and the way Taylor shied away from male contact. She reported it to the school counselor, and when Taylor was called into the counselor's office to talk about it, she revealed everything in a sobbing mess. Still, after all that, she loved her mother dearly and begged to stay with her and help take care of her. Regardless, she was taken away from her mother, who refused rehabilitation, and placed in foster care. It's been 2 years since then.

Personality: Very kind and caring, she's the most compassionate soul you'll ever meet. She constantly places others before herself, though she loves to make snarky comments and sarcastic replies. She means everything she says in good humour, and is always careful to avoid making people uncomfortable or upset. If she does, she'lll apologize profusely and feel terribly guilty about it. She's also easily hurt, and will often be easily downtrodden about silly things. If you tell her you think her hair looks weird, she'll worry and fret over it for hours and it'll haunt her all day. 

Fear: Being forgotten or left behind. She can't stand to be away from others for very long.

Power: Empath. She can feel and attempt to absorb the emotions and pains of another. If someone is having anxiety, or is in a bad mood, she can touch them and take most if not all of their troubles onto herself. She then slowly heals and calms herself from it. If another is wounded badly, the same applies. However, she is not invincible and taking on a wound too great or psychological ailment too powerful can kill her or make her go insane.[s] She's almost killed herself like 20 times sneaking into hospitals to heal critically injured people and nearly killing herself because she's a butt who doesn't care about herself as much as she should.[/s] Also, if she's separated from other humans for an extended period of time, it physically drains her since being an empath means she literally absorbs the emotions and feelings of those around her, even if only in minuscule amounts. She can die if kept in captivity for too long.

Other: She taught herself ASL when her mother was attached to tubes and such in the hospital and couldn't talk, so they'd have some way of communication. She's still fluent in it. She sometimes watercolors, though she cannot for the life of her do people. Only scenery and animals.
