Founder and Leader of the Stygian Molls, Tara's got a cold demeanor, but her actions speak loudly and affectionately. Little is known of her childhood. It is generally presumed by her constituents that she either lived in the projects or on the street, but Tara has neither confirmed nor denied any such rumors. About her past... "I lived in the city." About the Molls... "Before the Coda, I'd see a lot of girls getting treated poorly. Physically assaulted; sexually assaulted; mentally and verbally abused. Some kids say that the world was 'good' then- or at least 'better' - but I never saw any good. And at the start of the Coda, the immediate impression was that this new period, whatever it would be, was going to be 'worse' in some way. "Because I had been born into that, I had felt powerless to stop it, but if everything was upset; if the rest of the survivors were going to dawdle, then I wasn't going to let the advantage slip away." About Murphy... "..." About Svetlana... "She's been my grounding force since the first measure. Some of the newer Molls ask me if I wish she was on the front lines with us still; if I feel like she abandoned me - but I don't. And I'm glad she mostly stays at the Styx. Because she's safe there." About Kit... "One of the good ones." ... "Outside the Wizards, really, he's the only good one I know." About Lucy... "She's a passionate young woman. Were she not already fixed in a family unit, I'd've liked to see her in the Molls. But I see they need her too; I couldn't take her away from them." About Nora... "I don't personally know her well. But so many of us have seen enough violence by now as to be desensitized to it, and, so far as I know, Nora's kept her innocence. She's worth defending." About her past (again)... "I lived in the city. Not in a room; not in a house: in the city; in the quiet parts of it." About Billi... "There are times that I wish that Billi would not organize routes out to some of our... enemies, but I understand that such partisan distribution is not in her nature. She really is too good for us." About the Wizards... "While they're often innappropriate with my girls, I appreciate that it is less intentional and more a result of their general anxieties around the our sex. I'm of the mind that we should organize a kind of rehabilitation camp." About the Echoes... "I respect the general want to protect them, but I don't so personally feel that. Their speechs recall to me those self-important thinkers of before, so concerned with intangible issues that they couldn't see the problems of the real world - the physical issues- that so many were having just before their eyes. But below them, I guess." About Kasia... "While I've got issues with her lot, I do like Kasia. Being the prime object of their idolatry, I don't envy her position. I just wish she could restrain them better." About Ultimum Recursum... "I generalize because popular sentiment overwhelms and like generalizes a mob: they're arrogant; they're boisterous; they're misogynistic. They think that, because they're making the biggest push against the Executrix, they have the right to take what they want from those they've in turn protected. And that is not the way." About the Executrix... "For Greta alone, I'd break her skull in. For the damage she has done since, I cannot comprehend a sufficient torture." About Sex Party... "They kidnap my girls, and their runaways find safe harbor in us. Someday, this exchange will be unbalanced, and, either backed by an army or reckless and alone, I'll destroy them." About Penis Magnate... "While it's generally thought that the two of them are of equal seniority, I understand that she is the one that is truly in charge." About the Titty Manipulator... "He has as much soul as a bacterial growth sprouted from a fleck of shit on some long-abandoned pair of underwear."
