Talim
Profile
A young priestess from southeast Asia, Talim's fragile little body isn't what one would associate with no-holds-barred combat. At just fifteen, she is by far the youngest (human) combatant in the series, but her youth provides a sprightliness and dexterity which many of her opponents lack.
Costume 1
Talim's standard gear is somewhat revealing, given her age. A tiny green tube top makes up the entirety of her torso coverage, with a red cord hopefully keeping the rather loose fabric up. Half sleeves of white fabric with green trim and a red cross design cover her upper arms, held tight near the elbow with a red band and flared at the shoulder. Green wristbands complete the upper half.
Talim sports a natty pair of white shorts, folded over at the top to create a little red cummerbund effect. She wears tall green and white boots with red tops. Underneath are knee-length green socks, the left of which is pulled over the kneecap.
A small green hip pocket with red face and gold diamond design is held to her left by a loose green belt, buckled with a large gold ring positioned over the right thigh. A chunky gold wristlet is worn over each wristband. The jewel in Talim's accessories is a thick gold choker from which hang two long necklaces, and a large tribal sun-and-moon design piece of jewellery.
Talim's hair is a long aquamarine, pulled back in two thick ponytails which are held with similarly thick gold bands. A red and gold hairclip holds a third plait to the back of her head. Long loose hair frames her face, and the fringe is practically alive.
Costume 2
Talim's second outfit has much of the pink to it. A cheongsam with floral pattern and a low-cut back offers necessary cover, splitting into three petals at the waist. Over it she wears a white shoulder jacket with pink trim, looking not entirely unlike body armour. Except for the large flower on the left breast and the butterfly wing design on the shoulderblades, that is. Deep crimson bands with gold trim encircle her upper arms, and she wears long brown and pink fingerless gloves with unusual curvy patterns.
Her shorts are cery short and very red, and have a gold trim and a pattern on the side which matches the design on her gloves. Unusually, they are split up either side. Talim's boots are short and pink/purple, with white straps near the toes and incredibly thick tops. Long brown socks poke out of the top.
Jewellery is less of an issue for Talim's second costume, with just a red choker supporting a large red medallion. She wears an unusual red skullcap with white "horns," from which hang two pink ribbons. Underneath, her hair is now modern and trimmed to shoulder length. The bangs remain.
Costume 3
Equipment
Talim uses rather attractive elbow blades, short forearm-length knives with a curved single-blade at the hilt. A smooth handle juts out perpendicular to both blades, providing grip and allowing the knives to he held along the arm and quickly flicked out to attack.
Her default weapons are named Syi Sarika and Loka Luha, though other spellings are used. Hilt and handle are brown, with an elegant brown and black decoration along either side of the main blade. The alternative version is a lighter wood with a small dark decal on the hilt and at the end of the blade. The tip is also more of an arrowhead on this version.
Her ultimate, Soul Calibur, has an organic blue design with tapered curved parts and an additional "leaf" at the hilt. The main blade in this case is highly reflective and shaped like a single-edge knife, very thin and triangular with a sharp point.
The final weapon of note is the Double Crescent Blade. A wide blue curved blade is attached to a smaller, red semicircle, linked by the handle.
