Name
Theresa James. Goes by "TJ."
Gender
Identifies as a woman.
Age & Birthday
June 9th, 2103: 17 years of age.
Background
Roger and Wendy met and fell in love at Glenmont's very own Astute Students Private School. They graduated, got careers, married, and eventually had one little girl named Theresa. Roger worked in distribution services, making sure that all the fruits and veggies from the farms made it to Ashwick and Silverhill safely. Wendy worked as an aide in Silverhill's government building.
Money got tighter as Theresa grew older. She began to show interests in art, and expressed a desire to attend her parents' alma mater to hone in on her skills. Roger and Wendy could not even begin to find the finances to scrap together, even after their own parents passed and they received inheritance. The duo formulated a plan, and for a couple years this plan worked very well for them. The Black Market is usually quite exclusive for Ashwick and Silverhill, but they were making major steps to extending it to Glenmont. However, at three in the morning on January 4th, 2111, Theresa was pulled out of her bed by force and whisekd away to the police department.
Her parents had been arrested for purchasing, distributing and using unregistered magic machines and were sentenced a life in prison in Silverhill. They pleaded guilty, and so there's a possibility that in twenty more years they will be released on parole for good behavior.
Theresa was sent to Chamberlain's Child Care, a place where troubled youth go for a temporary home. Well, it's supposed to be until either their behavior improved or their parents were released...but Theresa has been there for eight years, and next year she'll be kicked out to live on her own. She adopted the nickname "TJ" because there always seemed to be another Theresa cycling in and out of Chamberlain's. The staff knew her like a daughter, and eventually gave her a unique nickname to prevent confusion. As much as TJ loves the people that are helping her, she's tired of following rules meant for delinquents, and she's eager to get out of there.
Personality
If "itchy" was a personality trait, the definition would be Theresa James. She doesn't like being in one place too long, and gets antsy very easily. She isn't used to consistency, and so when something's been going on for too long or people have been around for too long, she begins to look for a change of scenery to make herself feel better.
She's curious, and loves to learn new things. The word "no" drives her crazy, and she will do every persuasive technique she's learned living with troubled children to try and get her way. She's a bit pessimistic, but when something new comes up she can't help but be excited, no matter how short-lived it is.
A bit anxious, insecure and a little angry, TJ tends to swing on the passive side. She doesn't like conflict, but will dance until the line of full-on pissing someone off before she gets the hint to back off. Yelling tends to make her cower or find an excuse to leave.
Hobbies & Interests
She likes art, but was never able to pursue much of a passion in it due to limited funding from the government. She would earn money by doing chores for the families on Langston Street (mowing lawns, walking dogs, cleaning bird cages) so she could visit the art studios at ASPS to try and sculpt, mold, sketch and paint. She's not quite good at any of it, but finds peace in attempting.
She is very much not interested in anything that has ever had anything to do with magic. It's trouble and gets people hurt.
Family
