Taritta Shudrak (タリッタ・シュドラク) is a member and former Chieftain of the People of Shudrak who live in the depths of the Buddheim Jungle in the Vollachia Empire. She played a supporting role in Arc 7.
Born to the People of Shudrak as the younger sister of Mizelda, she spent her youth feeling inferior to her prodigal sister. Following the demise of her soul sister, the Stargazer Mariuli, she lived while awaiting the day to complete Mariuli's commandment. However, after temporarily taking up the mantle of Chieftain she shed herself of both her inferiority and the commandment. In the aftermath of the Great Disaster, Taritta, with Mizelda and the other Shudraks' approval, relinquished the role of Chieftain to her older sister in order to stay with Flop O'Connell.
Appearance
Taritta is a tall woman with brown skin and black hair, which has been dyed blue at the tips. Like her Shudrak counterparts, she wears revealing clothing with big round golden earrings. During the siege of Guaral, she dressed to appear as an exotic dancer. On the road to Chaosflame, she wore a white dress shirt with a bow tie under a purple blazer and purple dress jeans.
Personality
Unlike most of her people, Taritta is reserved and highly unconfident about her abilities despite being a warrior. She feels disappointment for perceiving herself to have inferior abilities to her older sister, so she consequentially allows herself to be ordered around by other people. She even confided in Subaru about her inferiority complex and that she didn't feel like she would be able to effectively lead her people like her sister could, and she even claimed to be jealous over how Subaru was able to be so confident while he was in his role as "Natsumi Schwartz". However, when she is hunting, Taritta is calm and efficient in executing techniques to finish a prey off.
Her lack of confidence stems from guilt for the death of her soul sister, Mariuli, as Taritta holds herself responsible for her death and believes that she let Mariuli die. She shows hatred to the stars that changed Mariuli by choosing her as a Stargazer. Believing they contributed to her early death, she would disobey their will and break her promise with Mariuli if she judged it to be the right thing.
History
Taritta was born on the same day as Mariuli, her soul sister. The two were inseparable while growing up. Unlike her soul sister, Taritta was able to become a hunter like her most of the other Shudraks, while Mariuli took care of the children due to her frail constitution. Eventually, Mariuli became a Stargazer and soon became very sick, almost reaching her demise. Before her death, she told Taritta of her "commandment", being a mission to kill a traveler with black hair and black eyes in order to prevent them from triggering the "Great Disaster", which would spell the end for the Empire. After relaying her commandment, Mariuli plunged Taritta's knife into her chest and died as a result, with Utakata witnessing this event.
Due to the circumstances of having her knife found in Mariuli's chest, Taritta was initially suspected of murdering Mariuli, but Utakata defended her innocence. After the incident was settled, Taritta resolved day after day to carrying out Mariuli's commandment on her behalf, and she waited patiently like a hunter for the "traveler" foretold by the commandment to appear.
Abilities
Skilled Markswoman: Just like her fellow Shudrakians, Taritta is very skilled with her bow. She can easily dispatch her targets from afar. Even amongst the Shudrak, her marksmanship is exceptional, as she is able to locate weak spots and accurately aim at them with relative ease while others struggled to do the same.
Excellent Stealth: As a hunter, being able to hide herself from her prey is a common tactic. She was easily able to find and hide from Subaru when he first arrived in Buddheim Jungle, and though she just barely failed in the main timeline, she was responsible for Subaru's first death in Vollachia.
Equipment:
- Bow and Arrow: Like most Shudrakians, she wields a bow for combat.
Trivia
- Taritta has her own named chapter in Arc 7, in both the web novel and light novels.
