Overview
Background
Gale conjured Tara when he was ten years old, after his parents refused to give him a kitten. Tara and Gale's mom eventually became friends, with Tara visiting her after Gale left home. Tara affectionately refers to Gale as "the most expensive pet in Waterdeep", and later states that they both belong to each other.

Tara first appears upon the first Long Rest of the game if Gale is chosen as origin. She will note Gale's somewhat ill appearance, and express concern. She will also provide Gale with a magic item, the

Act Three
Tara appears later - regardless of the player character - on the roof of the Open Hand Temple in Rivington. She is involved in the quest Find the Missing Letters, and has unique dialogue when Gale is in the party. You can also get

Notes
- Tressyms usually are unable to speak. Tara, however, is capable of speech, likely through external magical means.
- Tara refuses to stop using Gale's surname, referring to him as "Mr. Dekarios".
- Tara nags Gale about being single.
- Gale asked "Halaster" - presumably
Halaster - to take care of Tara in his absence - If the party offers a magical item in the barter screen, then clicks the "balance offer" button, money will be used to make up the difference. The party can then remove the original magical item offered and press the balance offer button again to top up the offer with gold. This is likely an exploit and may be patched out in future updates. (This was carried out on a PC without any money in their inventory, so it was added from another character's. Whether this is required is untested).
