Tatum Browne

Personality
Tatum is all about living in the moment, she takes bullshit from no one and has the mouth of a sailor. She isn’t always the greatest of friends, but she puts in a lot of effort to be a great friend even though she fails quite often. Her heart is always in the right place even if she doesn’t quite execute everything properly. Her reactions are always act first and then ask questions rather than being rational though she has a few glimmering moments of being a rational teenager. She loves to flirt and have fun with both males and females though she does tend to get worn down in larger situations. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t keep up with her studies and at least try to do well, she sometimes just lacks the motivation to do what needs to be done if she feels like there’s no purpose.

Tatum keeps her emotions locked down and tries not to show them around others, but if she truly trusts someone than her any emotion considered weak is shown. Her trust is hard to gain and even harder to restore once broken, even if she believes in second chances. Her friends and her family are a big part in her life and she hates disappointing anyone that she really cares about, and will lie to protect feelings if she has to.

History:
Tatum lived a pretty typical life, if you consider moving every year or every couple years for her entire life. She grew up as a military brat her father being a marine and as much as going to other countries and living a cushy life Tatum hated everything about it and though she loved her family she also began to resent her father as soon as she realized that not every kid moved quite as much as her. Her life was something that wouldn’t make it seem like she would be unhappy or even rebel when she was given anything and everything, she wanted but it wasn’t enough. As Tatum continued to resent, she began to act out more and that of course began to cause problems at school. She started to ignore what her teachers said, she started to experiment here and there with drugs and eventually got busted at school when they did a search.

Tatum wasn’t always bad she was good until she got really hurt and that was when her whole attitude changed. From the fact that her father was too busy and constantly took new assignments, to the entire mal population screwing her over, her whole attitude had begun to change. There are issues that live in her past that she would rather forget and never talk about. She would rather act like her life is fine and that deep down she isn’t hurting. Her parents sent her away to Silver Oak in hopes that she would get better and they sent her in her sophomore year. Things have seemed to look up for her but nothing is ever quite what it seems.
