Tarah's father worked as an assistant quartermaster in [[Meridas Amaram]]'s army, and thus she helped her father with his job. She encountered [[Kaladin]] after the young man had begun making a name for himself as a squad leader.{{book ref|sa3|61}} One of her tasks was to outfit new recruits, which enabled her to keep Kaladin informed of young boys among the so-called greenvines who needed his protection.{{book ref|sa3|112}}
During their time together in Amaram's army Tarah was in a relationship with Kaladin, but after a while she was transferred to [[Mourn's Vault]] where she was offered a scribe's job. She saw this as a good opportunity for herself, and in addition felt obligated to accept so that her father could join her there rather than be shipped to the [[Shattered Plains]]. After her departure she wrote two letters to Kaladin, but he never wrote back.{{book ref|sa3|112}}. She is still alive.{{wob ref|10661}}
