Occupation: Student, Plumber
Title/Rank: Level 4 Clearance Plumber
Hobbies/Pastimes: Usually, she spends her time keeping the school wrapped around her finger: acing classes, manipulating peers, dating, practicing sports, scoring the lead in the school play, that sort of thing. When she's not doing that (which isn't often), she used to just think over what she wanted and how she was going to get it. Nowadays she spends that time training and doing Plumber work.
Talents/Skills/Powers: Tabby is able to, at any time, transform into her Orishan form. This gives her a hard exoskeleton, limited superhuman strength, and the ability to fire, absorb, and manipulate water. She is also able to go into a partial form, meaning that she can have only her hands and lower arms transform if need be.

In human form, she possesses an above average intelligence, both with booksmarts and peoplesmarts. She is also a pretty good athlete, and has good endurance and strength. (Nothing crazy, though.) She is an amazing actor, which is useful since her whole outward image is all an act. She also considers her psychopathy to be a strength, since it allows her to "see past the cloud of human emotion and notice what really matters."


Past History

Hometown: Dallas, Texas
First Memory: Stealing her older brother John's lunch money. She was 3, he was 6. She didn't have any real use for the money at that point, but she knew that money was good, so she took it anyway.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Learning that her family was leaving everything behind and moving to Mayfield.
Why/How? This meant that she would get a fresh start, and not need to carry the weight of her old bully reputation anymore. She swore never to let her reputation get that low ever again, since it only made her life harder. Ever since she has followed the morally good path, or at least enough to make people think she's a good guy.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: She sees her entire elementary school life plus 7th grade a learning experience. 8th grade and beyond is the real test.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: When she was in 7th grade, one of her "friends" named Michelle had just been turned down by the boy she had crushed on since 3rd grade. Michelle called Tabby crying and asked her to come over, and Tabby (who had been working on a big English project at the time) told her that she had more important things to do than lug herself all the way over there, and sit there miserably for hours while she bawled on her shoulder and whined about how perfect they were for each other. She had used too many big words for Michelle to understand everything she said, so she didn't suspect that she seriously had a mental issue, but the next day she went around the school telling everyone about how big a bitch Tabby was. She denied all of this, and most people believed her rather than Michelle. She moved to Mayfield three weeks later.
Biggest role model: Herself.
Why? She considered everyone else in the world to be an idiot.
Biggest disillusions from childhood: Thinking she could get away with anything she wanted. But after her parents put her through several therapy sessions after she was accused of bullying multiple times, she learned that society expected people to act a certain way, and she could only do what she wanted if she stayed- or at least pretended to stay- within those limits.
Backstory: To most people, Tabby seems almost perfect. Popular, athletic, intelligent, a great actor, not to mention her seemingly effortless leadership and social abilities. But on the inside, it's a different story. She is a sub-clinical psychopath. This does not mean she goes around killing people. Nor does it mean she's psychotic, which is a different thing entirely. What is means is that she does not have a "conscious", so to say. She does not feel grief or remorse or even embarrassment about her actions. She does whatever she needs to do to get what she want, no matter how much lying and deceit it involves, and only logic will drive her decisions, never emotions. But because of her "superficial charm" and great skill at imitating emotions she does not actually feel (both common traits of psychopaths), she is able to function perfectly fine without anyone knowing of her mental state.

What Tabby mostly wants in life is power. But she's also not the kind to be a dictator- she wants a safe position of influence, where she can run the show behind the scenes and let other people take all the hits. She's already achieved this in school mostly- she is one of the main associates of the popular "Queen Bee", and is the captain of the swim team, which the student council president (also one of her "best friends") is on. She also has the school set up for her in other ways. For example, she made herself a reputation for being the hard-to-get pretty girl that all the guys wanted, so she had a whole line of men waiting for her if she ever had the urge for a relationship. (As soon as her need is fulfilled, though, her boyfriend's as good as gone.)

One day, when she was practicing her different facial expressions in the mirror to make sure they were realistic, she suddenly began to transform. Within minutes, she was an alien, the same species as Water Hazard. She freaked out, and without thinking about the consequences as usual, stormed downstairs, showed her mom, and demanded an explanation. Apparently her real father was an alien, and she was half alien. Her mom went on to explain about how she was a Plumber and all that, and how it would be a good idea for Tabby to be a Plumber as well. It didn't take her long to accept this, and now she's plotting on how to use it to her advantage.

She joined the Plumbers and became a field agent, proving herself to be especially good at spying and infiltration. This was mostly because she was willing to do anything to keep up her guise. And by anything, I mean anything. Because she doesn't feel remorse or embarrassment, she often resorts to drastic measures to get the bad guy.

She has recently caught the eye of several higher-ups in the Plumbers, and they have decided to have her join a team of other talented agents. This would require her to leave Earth, though, possibly forever. She honestly didn't care about that downside, and agreed almost as soon as they asked. She is now waiting to meet her assigned team, which she plans to give the same manipulative treatment she gives everyone else in her life.

(This is the same for Alien Academy, except that she starts fighting aliens without joining the plumbers first, then gets pulled off the planet to train at the Academy.))
