Character Information
Character Name: Tabitha Farah Reid Age: 30 Occupatation: -- Known Relatives: -- Significant Other: None Current Location: New York City, New York Affiliation: Good Known Ability: Summoning Biography: Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Tabitha "Tabby" Reid was the youngest daughter of a Baptist minister and an old fashioned housewife. Her life was very fifties ideal until she was around thirteen when her parents started to have difficulties with each other. After having four kids and spending most of their time either working or tending the house, their own relationship had deteriorated to the point that now that their children were able to fend for themselves, they didn't know how to relate to each other anymore. By the time that she was fourteen, her parents were separated and left her, the only one of her siblings still living at home, to be shuffled between the two of them. This shuffling left her incredibly lonely. Her parents still had their jobs and chores, after all, and that left them with little time for their baby girl.

It wasn't until she was almost sixteen, however, that one night when she was thinking about how much she would like to have her siblings back in the house that she ended up peppered with pictures that had been stored on the top shelf of her closet. The swirl of blue and white that had proceeded the pictures had been more concerting, however. It looked sort of like glitter in the air, but that didn't make any sense. Over the next few months, though, it happened more and more, usually when she wanted something that wasn't anywhere near here. It wasn't until one day the remote materialized in her hand when she was too lazy to get up that she realized something really weird was going on.

Not sure that she could talk to any of her family about it, Tabby kept her new "magic" to herself, playing with it in the privacy of her own room, learning how it worked and what it could do slowly but surely. Fourteen more years worth of practice and the trusted confidence of a few of her closest friends, and Tabitha was able to push her abilities to grow til she could move people and animals as well as inanimate objects.

Those fourteen years found her life changing, evolving, from a teenager trapped between two parents to an independent woman. After graduating from college with a Bachelor's in Business and Economics, Tabitha found a job in New York, but since the city was so impossible to find an affordable place in, she found a nice little townhouse in Newark that she could afford the rent on instead. And that's where she's lived for the past ten years, building a life there, still carrying her secret close to her heart. But there's a thing about having an odd secret.

It makes you start to recognize the other oddities around you. . Character Journal: tocallforth Played by: Kira
