Talisa

Talisa was an Alzarian and mother of Adric.

Biography
Talisa was the wife of Morell and mother of Adric and Varsh. Her job was to replenish the starliner's drive components. (PROSE: A Boy's Tale) According to most accounts, she and Morell died in a forest fire when Varsh and Adric were four and one respectively. (PROSE: Full Circle; AUDIO: The Invasion of E-Space, A Full Life)

According to one account, Talisa and Morell died much later. They recognised Adric's mathematical abilities when he was young and were, Adric thought, probably ashamed after Varsh dropped out and became an Outler. They died in a farming accident just after Adric turned twelve. Adric began to think more about his parents after the destruction of Traken, especially his mother. (PROSE: A Boy's Tale)

Behind the scenes
In a backstory for Adric developed by Andrew Smith, Adric discovered that Draith was behind his parents' deaths.
