Tauriel in canon is a captain of the Elven guard for Mirkwood and she is an able fighter capable of fighting at both ranged and and to hand combat, but socially she is a bit awkward.
As a human, the options for her were vast and varied, especially with taking a fantasy character and sticking them in a modern setting. One of the choices I made for her was that she wan away at the age of 15, but was later reunited with her family 2 weeks later.
I toyed with the idea of her becoming a vagabond hitchhiker who traveled across country to eventually end up in Locke where her aunt and uncle were, but decided not to go that route because it would have ultimately created a very different character to what I was aiming for. She would have probably ended up a lot more bitter and jaded and a lot less impulsive or fun loving.
