History


Date of Birth: February 25th, 1976
Home: Richmond District, San Francisco, California, United States
Family: Jeanine (mother, father unknown)
Chrysalis: Preordainment (born into a upper-lower income neighborhood, single mother after father abandoned them before Tabitha was even born; with the blessings of her good looks, she focused on her beauty regimen as a teen in the hopes of breaking out of poverty as a model or even actress; instead, she attracted the attention of a disenfranchised Sidhe soul who had refused any House affiliation and awaited the right time to take a host), 1986
Mentor: Countess Evaine Faustinne ni Eiluned
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (though effectively a commoner Sidhe, Evaine cared little and took her in after her wild Glamour drew the notice of friendly Selkies; Tabitha thus learned of the Escheat and studied with the relaxed Eiluned, learning a great deal about magic as well, until her Fior-Reigh tested her wit and comprehension)
Comrades: Piper Beattie, Madison Gavrell, Courtney Manson, Brigitte Causing, Veronica Van Ness
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (for many years, she lingered with Evaine, a modest retainer of little note, free to focus on and excel at the Arts that came natural to her seemingly aquatic nature)
Key Event #2: Treachery (House Varich arrived during the 2nd Resurgence, and nobles in the Bay Area head-hunted the talented sorceress by pointing out Evaine’s lassitude had allowed the natural sea waters in her domain to fall into a polluted state; Tabitha aided the Varich in cleansing the water and establishing a minor freehold for themselves near the beach; in return, they invited her into the house and ennobled her)
Transition: Loss of Friends (Evaine angrily dismissed Tabitha, forcing her to turn to the Varich household; but before she settled in very long and swore any new oaths, Queen Serena appealed and offered her friends and sympathy in the Ensemble, and Tabitha earnestly leapt at those things)

Remembrance


Magnitude: Tabitha has a firm memory since the Shattering.
Details: Tabitha recalls clearly she has always been, in Arcadia and otherwise, an elemental Sidhe of great power and majesty, who shunned all the noble Houses as misguided, but also very lonely.

Chimera


Amphora of Titanic Dominion
Appearance: A classic Grecian jug engraved with ancient mythological scenes of chthonic sea deities.
Origin: Inherent
Effects: The jug can pour forth up to 100 gallons of natural seawater per day. For the water to be real, the chimerical treasure must be Wyrded.
Activation: The jug is filled with any liquid; it will always and only pour it back out as seawater.

Dagger
Appearance: A bronze knife meant for thrusting only—a sharp point but thick edges.
Origin: Inherent

Bunk Styles


Style: High Fantasy
Examples: Arcane chant, etch glyphs, create and drink potion, crystal divination, listen to a seashell, blow a conch horn

Significant Others


The Shanghaied Ensemble of Royalty is a massive collective of "fairy princesses" to which she blithely and merrily belongs. Visit this link for the full skinny:

Weakness
Seabound


Tabitha is neither Selkie nor mermaid, and yet she is as bound to the sea as they. This stems from her elemental affinity, which is as ancient and true to her being and soul as the age of the Tuatha Dé Danann.

Likelihood of Corruption


Very low.

She is powerful and elemental, caring above all for the purity of her elemental nature and affinity. This might make her a natural ally of the Mer and even Rokea.
