Princess Tara Ty'lahem Duncan Brami Santa Ab Maru is the main protagonist and title character of the cancelled 2010 animated series, as well as the 2021 reboot, both loosely based on Tara Duncan the Spellbinders book. She is voiced by Saffron Henderson.

Description

Tara Duncan is a 17-year-old girl who deals with everyday life while defeating evil with her friends Sparrow and Cal. When she casts spells, her magic is blue.

Tara Duncan singing along to Madney Speers.

She was born on Earth, but is still a powerful spellbinder, nonetheless. She is sporty, playing basketball and volleyball. She is the number one fan-girl of Madney Speers (as stated by Cal in "Silent Siren"), but ironically is tone deaf.

Tara is also the leader of the Alpha Team, although it does not become completely clear until Robin an Elf from the Omega Team fills in for Tara making him Cal's superior since Tara is sick. Tara is constantly trying to balance her human-spellbinder life, a task that often annoys her maternal grandmother Isabella.

Personality

Tara Duncan is clever, outgoing, and a bit headstrong, willful, and stubborn. She always knows what she wants, and is not afraid to go after it.

She also has an unwavering desire to fit in and be normal, as an earth spellbinder. Unfortunately, Sandra and her Alpha Team missions make it very difficult for her to make nonspell friends and seem normal.

Physical Appearance

Tara D

Tara

Tara has apricot skin, blue eyes and waist-length, bright blonde hair with a platinum blonde-white lock that is usually styled in the front of her hair near her face. She wears a purple tank top with a white t-shirt underneath, blue long-legged pants with a black belt and black and white shoes. She also wears a yellow and pomegranate necklace that is Gallant, her flying pegasus familiar and a crystal watch on her wrist that helps her communicate with her teammates and look up anything having to do with magic.

Relationships

Family

Isabella-manitor-sandra-tara

Isabella, Manitou, Sandra, and Tara

Tara's family includes Isabella, her grandmother, and her great-grandfather, Manitou, who accidentally turned himself into a dog. Her mother and father's current location is unknown, although a picture is shown of Tara's mother in the series. She was a powerful spellbinder who defeated evil just as Isabella did and Tara does.

In the books, her mother Selena Duncan is kidnapped and her father, the Emperor of Omois, Danviou, was killed by the masked spellbinder. In the animated series there is the possibility that she is still alive, as Tara goes to the Silver Witch in "BFF" to see if she was truly there. Because she lives on Earth and she insinuates that she may have had recently learned of her powers, it is assumed that her father was a nonspell as opposed to being a topmost spellbinder, let alone of royal blood.

Friends and Allies

Tara's closest friends are Sparrow and Cal, who are spellbinders and fellow members of the Alpha Team.

The Alpha Team: Cal, Tara and Sparrow

"Clairvoyant", Tara bonds closely with Claire, believing her to be a girl just like her; not knowing that she was a spellbinder upon birth. When Cal casts suspicions on her, Tara is quick to defend her, though whether it was because of her bond with Claire or because she was stung that Cal was going to leave is unknown. Tara, just like Fabrice, gets really upset when it is revealed that Claire was using them to steal the vampire gang's emblem.

Romance

Cal and Tara

Tara is currently not romantically involved with anyone. However, it is shown that she is a bit jealous whenever Cal is going out with or flirting with another girl (see Cara). She also appears to have a minor crush on Robin from the Beta Team.

In the books her romantic interests get more handsome by the next installment, Tara has a romantic relationship with Cal but later in the series. She is in love with Robin initially and maybe Cal, which they hint at in the TV series.

In the book series, she eventually takes her longtime best friend Caliban, and has three children with him; two of whom are fraternal twins.

Familiar

Gallant (2)

Gallant, Tara's familiar

Tara's familiar is a pegasus named Gallant, renamed "Gala" in the 2021 reboot. He can transform into a red-and-gold necklace that is yellow and pomegranate. To fit in any room in the palace of the empire of Omosis, the Miniaturus spell is cast on him. He dons magical armor alongside his rider via her magical Change-A-Line bracelet.

Trivia

  • She is on the basketball team, but has problems scoring free throws.
  • Tara, though the leader of the Alpha Team, is technically the most inexperienced due to her nonspell upbringing.
    Error

    The oops

    Tara is known as being a horrible singer.
  • Tara originally had no nonspell friends in the beginning of the series.
  • She has accidentally walked into the boy's locker room on one occasion.
  • In some scenes of the pilot episode Tara wears a pink tank top with a brown shirt instead of what she wears usually.
  • Tara's character design looks reminiscent with the geokinetic anti-heroine Terra from Teen Titans 2003 TV Series, especially her hairstyle and blue eyes; same for Cornelia Hale, the second Earth Guardian, of W.i.t.c.h.
