Personality:
Typically, Tally is quiet and reserved, preferring to stay in the shadows and hide from teachers calling on her or people talking to her. That is, until you get her around her friends. Then she is very loud and happy. She is intelligent on an educational level, but when it comes to socializing she knows absolutely nothing. She is stubborn and very opinionated, and always trying to get people to see the world her way. Tally also has a soft spot in her heart for injured people. She tries to be humble at all times, but slips up every once in a while. After all, she is only human. She is slightly violent if you provoke her enough, but does try to maintain it. Not that she doesn't lose control sometimes (wink wink).

A page from your diary:
Dear Diary,
I don't know what to do... Shane has changed so much, he's not the guy I used to know. He started ranting about how he knew me better than anyone else and how I would help him achieve his goal. I'm scared of what he will do next. I need to find a way to get out this crap. I have to go..Shane is calling again.

Hello. I was just curious about some things. So, here goes.

How did Tally feel about her mother's personality? Did it have a major effect on Tally's own personality?
Why does she 'shadow' and bottle up her own feelings?
Why does she want to be a prefect?
Why is her Boggart a knife?

There. :)

 
1. Growing up with a mother that you could rarely have a coherent relationship with was hard for her. Tally thought it was normal to have a mother like that, but couldn't understand why her mother couldn't come to her games, or any school activities. She realized her mother wasn't normal when she met a few of her friends parents. Tally can't deal with her own emotions due to the way she was raised, and doesn't understand her own emotions.
2. Mostly answered above, but due to the last part of not being able to understand her emotions, she hides them away. This only causes more confusion for her, but she hasn't learned that.
3. Tally likes to feel in control in a situation, but knows that the responsibilities can be a little much, so only prefect.
4. There is actually two stories of traumatizing cases with knives for Tally. When Tally was 6, her mother seemed coherent, so Tally was spending some time with her. Her mother left to go make dinner, and came back with a knife. She asked Tally what she wanted for dinner, and when Tally didn't respond immediately (she was reading) her mom attacked her. Luckily her father came home before Tally was seriously injured, but she hates knives now. Then Tally moved to be closer to a mental facility, so she made a new best friend named Shane, but he had problems of his own at home. One day he was ranting about one thing or anither, Tally not really paying attention, when he pulled out a knife. Out of instinct, Tally ran. Shane chased her to her home, but Tally hasn't seen him since.

Hope this helps slightly :D
