Things did not happen as one would have hoped in Taylor's family. It was discovered recently that her mother, whom she had a very close connection to and relationship with, was diagnosed with a specific and uncurable type of cancer that was destroying her body from the inside out. Working with her father, her parents tried to see if a replacement mother figure could be integrated into their family to take over when she finally passed away. This decision, although with good intent and seemingly sound in theory, ending up in a huge backlash from Taylor. Feeling betrayed and hurt, she turned to alternative lifestyles and no longer was the 'good girl' they had grown and raised. She rebelled and tried to live her own life, ignoring the pain of the impending death of her mother. It was during this time of despair she took markers and drew eyes on her tail to make herself feel more menacing to others, because she wanted to be left alone and having a vicious looking tailmaw helped in that image. A rough time for Taylor indeed.
