Tara

Tara is a blue engine

Bio
Tara was built in 1915 by Crovan's Gate for goods traffic on the main lines and branch lines of NWR. Tara was allocated to Tidmouth and often pulled heavy goods trains from there Vicarstown. However, as time went on trains got heavier and Tara was removed from heavy goods in favor of larger, more stronger engines. The Fat Controller offered her a job working as a branch line engine, but Tara declined and asked to be a mainline utility engine instead. Tara likes being a utility engine and is happy to still be working on the mainline

Personality
Tara is seen as a solemn and tenacious engine. She's very serious when it comes to her work and takes pride in it. She doesn't like playing or goofing around while on duty, as she finds it childish and unprofessional. She is friendly but at times can be seen as a little dismissive, especially when she's working. She doesn't have a prejudice against engines of any traction, however, she can be very be put off by lazy or weak-willed engines. She never asks for help, not in fear but because she's so confident in her capabilities that she thinks she doesn't need it. This means that she's very stubborn and a little hard to deal with. She's a good engine though, and the others admire her stellar work ethic.
