Profile

General:
It is the beginning of the colonial age in East Asia, and the southeastern mainland is beginning to feel the influence of Spain after that empire's conquest of the Philippines. Some native peoples fled into hiding from foreign powers, quietly living with nature and practicing their ancient arts. Talim is one of these people, a descendant of middling lineage trained in the position of a priestess, thanks to her unusual affinity with the wind. One day, the wind brought the sensation of a terrible event far to the west, and shortly afterward, a foreigner brought a strange shard of metal to the village. The elders of the village sensed its evil power, and declared that it must be returned to its origin -- Talim takes up responsibility for that journey.

Comment:
I wasn't a fan of Talim in Soul Calibur 2... But in Soul Calibur 3, she was given some better moves, better outfits, and her personality improved a little bit. So to answer your question Talim, yes, you are making progress.
