Todays lovely young lady comes from the Soul Calibur series. Talim was born in the Village of the Wind Deity (Nayong Anito ng Hangin) located in Southeast Asia (Philippines), there lived a tribe of people who could control the winds. Talim was the granddaughter of this village's elder, Kalana, and daughter of its shaman, Lidi. Due to turmoil caused by the influences of Spanish and Portuguese culture, she was reared to be its last priestess (Babaylan). The day that the Evil Seed spread across the world, Talim felt the winds, and an evil aura that devoured everything in its path surged into her body, causing her to lose consciousness for days. Years later, when Talim was fifteen years old, a man from the west brought with him a strange metal fragment, claiming it to be a vitality charm. Talim, however, recognized the evil energy as the same energy she had experienced years before and left on a journey, believing that if she were to return the fragment to its rightful place, peace would eventually be restored, despite the elders' misgivings. Talim always rely to the signs of wind. She learned from her ancestors the traditional wind-reading, as in early years ago, wind is always a sign if a bad climate comes or bad wind coming in the village could be a bad sign as a devil is coming.
