Personality
At one time, first impressions of Telula would have been that she comes off shy - the sort of shy that steps behind others or things to hide. Unless the girl trusts a person, but that isn't exactly the case anymore. At one time, Lula found it quite difficult to trust anyone, and no longer felt as if there was a reason to let her guard down around anyone. She believed that people were untrustworthy; they provided hopes, nurtured desire, and inspired dreams only to yank it all away without warning. It was a harsh lesson to learn, but it was one that she had endured and eventually grew past as she grew up.
Her ability to meld minds with creatures has grown, and no longer is she restricted to just living beasts. Warging with the undead had cost her, fragments of her pure, innocent nature, but again it was an obstacle she had overcome. Again Telula is in control of herself, her emotions, and her ability to Warg is stronger than ever.

Biography
Unlike some people who begin to develop abilities that others do not understand, Telula was (mostly) raised in a very understanding home. Her mother being Force sensitive herself, it made things much easier for Lula, even if her abilities were far different than those of her mom. There were of course difficulties, things that couldn't be taught to Lula simply because she could not learn them, and this naturally brought about frustrations from both of her parents, though did not lessen their affection for their child. Despite this, she was well educated; anything her parents could get a hold of to help her learn - maths, languages, sciences (which she found herself to be quite good at), you name it and Lula soaked it up like a sponge. She would pour hours a day into her learning, and not even fuss or complain about it a wit. Eventually it was figured out that they needed to let Lula learn on her own, figure out what she could and couldn't do, and from there it became easier for everyone involved.
Unfortunately, that meant everyone involved in the girl's life. Telula's inability to bond quickly with people has been an issue throughout her whole life, and so earning her trust and her friendship is quite the feat. She had few friends back home and the one she had, had since a young age had betrayed her more thoroughly than anyone could have ever done. He took full advantage of her naive ways, at first merely taking what he wanted from her, and then eventually managing to convince her that if she was really his friend she would not fight him. This continued for nearly a year, untl Lula had decided that she had most certainly had enough of this and wanted to stop. This turned her friend quite violent, and he had no shame in making sure Telula and her family knew as such.
Healing the girl had been simple for both her mother and father - the latter working as a medic most of his adult life - but that changed nothing about what had been done to her. The boy was arrested, but the scars were there on Lula's soul, and it began to weigh her down just being home. So her parents did the best thing they could for her; research yielded a place where the young (almost) woman could go and be around others like herself. A place where they could really teach her, and help her thrive. While not easy to do, the little family agreed to send Lula to Ryloth, where she could be around other (affectionately known) witches, and furthermore be protected and even hopefully accepted by a real coven.
Thus Telula made the journey, and while she still has yet to really open up around the other witches, she is at least no longer hiding around and peeking from behind corners to watch and observe. At least not all of the time...
Update:
Being grown now, Telula has long since abandoned the trauma of her past and moved on with her life. There will of course forever be scars of such horrific events, but what was once a weakness for the young woman has instead become her greatest strength. She stands confident (perhaps overly so at times), and proud of who she is and what she has accomplished in her life. Enough so that she enjoys helping other younglings who don't understand and/or struggle with their own abilities.
Extras
Telula has a Galek Hound that was gifted to her when she turned 15 - Kai. She naturally bonded with Kai easily, and has since learned to reach out to his mind. At first this was merely seeing through his eyes, but over time she has even learned to influence his thoughts and has now learned to control him through the connection.
