Plot[]
Season 1[]
Chapter 2: The Queen and the Bum[]
(4) While sharing her companions' desire to avoid troublesome situations, Tara appears boldest of the three and is often present while the other two have managed to flee the situation. Unlike 'Split-fringe' she seems to be not very skilled with words, and during the discussion with Brilith, agrees with the former's choice of direction and statements.
Chapter 3: The Sorrow of Loss[]
(5) Tara later visits Brilith with Split-fringe, to ask about the defense system and flames in the city. She breaks down the door with hoti kubera and tries to wake Brilith, but finds her injured and commands Split-fringe to bring a doctor.
(8) She stays with Brilith and discusses the priest's vigor with her companions once Blue-mustache has healed Brilith. She reminds Split-fringe that Lorraine has been sent away and tries to explain her lack of action when Asha arrives with Kubera and asks about it. She tries to prevent Asha from activating the defense system, but follows her later nonetheless. She still tries to convince Asha to stop on the way to the barrier-room, but is notified of the red sky, and after Split-fringe's fleeing is the only magician who accompanies Asha to the barrier room. She finds the barriers activated status conflicting with Brilith's unconscious state, and still tries to prevent Asha from controlling the barrier.
(9) When Asha collapses because of drained vigor after fending off Maruna's attack, she quickly rushes in to take care of her and is witness to Leez breaking through the barrier-room's defenses.
Chapter 4: AAA Magician[]
(1) Tara is seen standing behind an elated Leez when she gets Brilith's permission to stay in the temple while Asha is recovering.
Chapter 10: The Night it Rained Fire[]
(2) In the eve of Sagara's attack on Atera, Tara is talking with Brilith in a library, thanking the Priestess for helping her with her library work. Brilith tells Tara that if she gets overwhelmed with work, she shouldn't be shy about asking for more workers. Brilith brings up how the recruitment for priest candidates are going. Tara replies that from the ones who accepted their offer, it would take time before they can come and join the Temple. As they continue discussing, they hear a ruckus that is caused by a pair of twins, Kanna and Leto Ajes. Tara is quick to punish the boy for causing it. When Brilith explains the workings of Magic to the twins, Tara on several occasions punishes both twins for inappropriate behavior and ways of thinking.
(3) When the sky turns red, Tara rushes with Brilith to the barrier-room. Tara has a discussion with Blue-mustache on how they should prepare for the next attack and who will relieve Brilith if she collapses. Neither of the two notice Brilith coughing up blood. Brilith interrupts the two by directing them to continue relaying urgent messages to the other cities and assure the people that their Priestess will continue to maintain the barrier until help arrives.
(11) When the suras invade the city, Tara meets Lorraine and Airi, and discusses the situation with them. Airi berates Tara for leaving the Priestess by herself. Lorraine shuts Airi up and apologizes for her outburst. While heading with them to the barrier-room, they notice the barrier is inactive. Upon entering the barrier room, they find it empty, broken into, and conclude that Brilith was kidnapped. When Lorraine wonders if she should reactivate the barrier, Airi explains that it's futile considering that the suras are now inside the city. She decides to engage one of the attacking sura directly. Once Airi has left for battle, Lorraine is awed by her fearlessness and resolve. She determines that Airi would be a good candidate to replace Ruche with. The shrine magician feels alienated by Lorraine's calm demeanor and detachment from danger. Considering that the kidnappers didn't kill Brilith on the spot, Tara concludes that the Priestess must be alive and will issue the Temple Guards to search for her.
(15) When Agni tells a dying Brilith that he will only give her her life back if she has a reason to live, Tara is one of the few people Brilith could differentiate, but couldn't recognize, as she combed through her memories in search for a reason to live.
(20) Once the attack is over, Tara speaks with Brilith on a rooftop, skimming through and summarizing the reports on the state of the city before happily leaving the Priestess on the roof while she goes to address some of the evacuated residents.
