History
Her mother Anita grew up in a small village in India. She was 15 when she was she was given an arranged marriage to a young man in her village. Despite her longing to find love, Anita could not do anything about it. Ever since she had been small, she had loved the festivals and holiday they had, and joined in in everyone, from Holi (Arrival of Spring) to Diwali (Festival of Lights and the New Year).

She loved to dance and sing with her family, even her 6 brothers and sisters. This caught the attention of Dionysus  who was very interesting in Antia. Despite her upcoming arranged marriage, she still slept with Dionysus anyways, who had charmed her greatly and may or may not have used some godly powers to get her into bed with him *cough* *cough*. A week later, she found out she was pregnant, with her wedding a few days away. Anita was devastated, regretting everything she had ever done with Dionysus. She had dishonored her family and ruined everything.

Dionysus realized what he had done, and decided that no matter what would happen, the baby would survive and make to camp safely. He gave Anita very detailed instructions to make sure she would get to camp safely in the future, and left. Of course, Anita had next to no knowledge that the man she slept with was a god, and that he bestowed the blessing of life on her baby, that she didn't know was a girl.

A few days later, she married the young man, who was 20, named Aabha. When her pregnancy began to show, He was delighted, thinking the child was his, and Anita told herself that at night as well, so soon, she began to believe it too.

Talikha lived in India until she was 3, when they moved form the small village to the United States, as a job came up for Aabha. They moved to South Florida, where Talikha later grew up. When she was 11, she was staying home a lot from school to help her mother take care of her younger siblings. She almost ended up stopping school all together, but Aabha insisted she go to get a good education. When she was 12, she was attacked by a Hell Hound. She was at home in her back yard when it happened. Her mother heard her screams and rushed to grab something from a small wooden box, that she had kept all these years, along with a small slip of paper with an address.

She tossed the small weapon to Talikha who thrust it forwards at the hell hound. Talikha used her right arm to stab the hell hound. It jumed away from her, wounded. Her feet and hands went into instinct mode, her brain into auto pilot, and her heart turned her fear into courage. As the hound lunged, she ducked and rolled onto the ground, to the right of the hellhound. she got up and rolled again, this time under it, and she stabbed the hellhound from under it, getting a hard, direct hit into the stomach. The hell hound tried to run forwards, but Talikha wouldn't let go of the knife, so it's stomach was slit directly down. Before she knew what was happening, the Hell Hound was gone. Terrified, Talikha ran to her mother, who knew it was time. Aabha was away on a trip for work, So they could make the 2 hour and 37 minute flight to New York and Anita could get back in time without him knowing. So, they flew. Dionysus had bribed Zeus with fine wine to make sure they had a fast and easy travel, and they did.

By the time the reached Manhattan, Anita had told Talikha everything, and Talikha wasn't very pleased that she was born out of wedlock. They took a taxi to the furthest road they good go and walked the rest of the way to  Camp Half Blood. Anita gave Talikha a small bag of packed clothes, promising to send more of her things later on. Talikha said goodbye and made her way to camp.

Dionysus had been looking over Talikha, and claimed her at once when she entered camp. There, she made some friends and turned 16, her current age.
