Tabetha was one of the last of the New Age Dragoons produced for the purpose of the Cartel War, never actually placed into service she was given a new directive to serve and protect the EarthGOV military. The lowest scoring of the NGDs, and having failed to recieve a personality imprint, Tabetha was deemed a defective unit. Estranged as the last of 100, and therefore the only unit not assigned into a team of three NGDs, Tabetha was placed on the back burner. Eventually, Tabetha was sent to the Elite Unit, whether she was chosen by Cheryl or simply shoved into the unit remains unclear to this date, though many believe she was taken in by Cheryl, who's built a reputation for taking in lost causes.
With the intervention of the PAX, ending the Cartel War early, the training and development of Tabetha's group of Dragoons was postponed, they were not assigned immediate pilots due to a lack of stress to get them in the skies. Tabetha was trained in military protocol and basic combat with her unique skillset, determined to be a ranged unit with a specialized focus in small arms. She failed to grasp social taboos, personal relations, and personal life management, mostly due to a lack of personality, unique compared to the other NGDs, she is a blank slate, slowly learning and building her own personality based on her experiences. This has become quite apparent as she attempts to relate to a team which is highly strong in situational and emotioal bonds, and Tabetha finds herself hard pressed to learn to keep up.
Upon being added to the unit, Tabetha has exhibited a very outgoing personality, eager to make friends and get to know her teammates. So far this has gotten her into a little bit of trouble. Her mental state is like that of a fast learning child, making it easier for her to relate to some of the team members who are still developing, or recovering like Dias is. Tabetha has exhibited a strong independant streak from her initial instructions, asking such questions as where she came from, why she exists, and most importantly, what will she do with her life.
Over the past months since joining, her development has taken strange turns. After attempting and ultimately failing to bond with Tsukiyomi due to Tsukiyomi's nonhuman status and her altered reality signature, Tsukiyomi decided to erase her memories, setting many of her learned personality blocks back to ground zero. In a surprising lashback, Tabetha's personality has become somewhat scattered, shifting between child like and adult from time to time, the child slowly fading as Tabetha forces herself to grow up. After an affair with Cypher, Cole's robotic companion, the girl recieved a download of technical data and scientific information, leading to the girl persuing skills in engineering and mechanical maintainance.
Tabetha began to exhibit true signs of her maturity during the NGD Incident, handling the deaths and horrors that the group came to head with far better then any of her creators would ever have predicted. She has since bonded with John McCormick, and begun a close friendship with Leira, whom she works with constantly to get stronger so that they can protect those they care about. That close relationship led to marriage, the two have joined hands and are mothers to Sky, a girl who Tabetha discovered in an orphanage along with Jennifer's daughters, CL and Heaven.
Tabetha's other talent has come out over time, she can see into the future, and with practice has learned to control telepathic and telekenetic abilities. It was through this that she learned that her disabilities were simply biproducts of her special creation, unlike other Dragoons she was created with not two, but three donors, the third was William Spade, those behind he creation wanted a Dragoon who had the power of prophecy, by a stroke of luck, the ability was thought to have not manifested as planned. |
