Character Information
Name: Tatum Donnelly.
Series/Fandom: Original character.
Age: Twenty.
Gender: Female.
Sexuality: Homosexual. Tatum has never really found herself with a much of an attraction to males, and doesn't even really have many close male friends, outside of her brother. That isn't to say that she dislikes males at all, simply that she hasn't experienced a romantic attraction to them in the same way that she has to some of her close female friends.
Student or Faculty Member/Professor: Student, sophomore.
Major: Physiology.
Minor: Anatomy.
Residence: Dormitories.
Occupation: Works part-time as a cashier at a video rental store in downtown.
Appearance:
Tatum's hair reaches just past her shoulders. It is a deep rust color, a natural redhead, and with the slightly hint of a wave or a curl. Nothing incredibly prominent, unless she puts it there herself. Which she rarely does. Mostly, it hangs about her face and shoulders, gently framing her face and occasionally hanging into her eyes. Brushing it out and leaving it as is, is usually what equates to styling for Tatum. She sometimes pulls it back into ponytails or something if she's studying or reading, but other than that, she rarely does much of anything with it.
Her skin is incredibly pale, and burns easily, but matches well with her red hair, and comes hand in hand from her Irish heritage. She is the type of girl that just doesn't tan, and is usually devoid of color even in the most hottest of summer months. She has a smattering of freckles over the bridge of her nose and her cheeks, as well as on some other parts of her body, including her shoulders and arms. She doesn't care much more make-up, outside of perhaps a little bit of eye liner and lip gloss, unless she is dressing up to go somewhere special. Au natural would best describe her.
Her eyes are a dark brown color, with long dark lashes, and stand out well against her freckles and skin. They're usually accented with eye make-up, but nothing to an extreme. She has a somewhat narrow face, with thin lips and a rather pointed nose. Her height reaches just under five feet and five inches, with a thin physique and an overall frail appearance. Her stature is almost boyish, especially around her hips and chest area, where she seems to still be waiting to grow, despite her age. Her ears are pierced once in each ear, usually with just a pair of plaid studs in them, and she also has her tongue pierced with a simple silver barbell stud.
Tatum's fashion sense could only be described as casual. She wears what she pulls off of the floor or out of her closet in the morning, and is an avid shopper from second-hand shops and thrift stores. If it looks cute, and she finds it comfy to wear, then she is likely to be found wearing it. A lot of tee shirts, hooded sweaters, and scarves. She also likes a lot of girly shirts with cute patterns, as well as skinny jeans and skirts, and bulky skating sneakers or slip-ons.
Personality:
Tatum is a quiet girl when you first meet or approach her. She almost seems.. well, mysterious might be taking it too far, but there is definitely something amiss with her. Although she can be truly naive, she is also fairly intelligent. She was smart enough to have the grades to get into Evergrove, and to go into study to become a future physician/surgeon, and so she is far from dumb. Her street smarts may sometimes lack, from a slightly sheltered upbringing, but she knows the way of things, and rarely allows people to fool her. At least not twice.
She is the type of girl who trusts with her whole self, and once crossed by a person, her trust for them will forever be damaged. This leads to a very open friendship with anyone whom deems her worthy of their approval. Tatum is also known for an almost obsessive type of love; throwing herself fully and hastily into romantic relationships, and finding herself unable to let go when things finish. On a one-on-one basis, she is calm and casual, and usually only speaks up agressively when she sees it as being fully necessary to do so. Which isn't often at all. She's willing to stand up for others, especially underdog types, but it takes a lot to push her over the edge, since she doesn't have very much of a tempermental side. Tatum doesn't really socialize with too large of a group, but she can usually be seen around campus, heading to classes or work or back to her dorm. She speaks fluent English, naturally, and although she cannot personally speak it, she understands a fair bit of French because her younger sister is fluent in it.
The first thing that most people note about Tatum is probably how incredibly shy she is. Almost painfully so. Polite, quiet, and down to earth. When she doesn't know a person, or a situation, or area, then she can become withdrawn and awkward, and can usually be caught stammering or mumbling her speech. Nothing makes her more anxious than unfamiliarity, but it is something than she is learning to deal with as she grows older. When she was in high school, she was able to stick with a group of closer friends, and just avoid situations she disliked, but it has become harder to do that. Especially now that she works at the video store, where she must interact with people on a daily basis.
Tatum tries not to let her shyness define her, however. Once you get to know the girl, she is really quite friendly and helpful, and has an excellent sense of humor, and a decent sense of adventure. As rare as the side might be, viewed only by those closest to her, it is there. She is a true friend through and through, loyal and always ready to support and lend a hand to people who need her, even if she doesn't have a lot of confidence in herself and her own abilities.
Her lack of confidence is another of her flaws, since she really doesn't think much of herself. She considers her abilities with academics to be mere flukes, and her appearance is something that she is frequently embarrassed over; she hates her bright hair and freckles with a passion. She also is bothered by the fact of her less than feminine physique. She knows there isn't anything she can do about it, but it is still something she dwells upon at times.
Though medicine is her career plan, she is interested in things like photography, music [she collects vinyls], guitar, old films, and yoga. She almost always has a camera with her, ready to catch that perfect shot, she plays her [hand-me-down] acoustic guitar in her spare time, and she is always on the look out for a good deal on some older movies or vinyl records. She can usually be found blowing most of her biweekly paycheck on them, in fact. Some of her favorite music include bands like Radiohead, Sound Garden, the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, the Tragically Hip, Treble Charger, Lacuna Coil, the Smashing Pumpkins, Lisa Loeb, and Beck.
History:
Tatum's upbringing was nothing short of ordinary. There was nothing incredibly outstanding about the life that she lived with her friends and family in the northern state of Maine. Her mother was born in Ireland, though she moved to America at a young age. Her father was American born and raised. Their family came from a small Maine town, and she was a second-born fraternal twin, with a five-minute elder brother named Rath. She also has a younger a sister, named Seraphim, who is two years younger than she and her brother. Their mother passed away when all three children were particularly young, just after Seraphim was born, and so they were raised single-handedly by their father for the majority of their lives. He was a man who worked hard to support their family, and thus didn't have much time to spend at home with his children, making his presence slightly absent. They spent a lot of time learning things themselves, or teaching each other the ways of life, while passed through a series of babysitters until the twins were old enough to stay home alone with their sister.
Growing up, her brother was always one of her closest friends, and they were always there for each other, ready to support each other when need be. Perhaps it could be said that it was because of the 'bond' or 'connection' that twins are supposed to have, but Tatum would rather believe that they get along because her brother is generally a kind and likeable individual. With her younger sister, the bond was not quite as thick, since she was so incredibly different from the twins in both appearance and personality, but at the end of the day, even with arguing sisters, blood proved to be thicker than water on more than one occasion.
Through elementary, middle, and senior high schools, the twins and Seraphim both hung around with a very close circle of friends. There was about ten of them in total, ranging in Seraphim's age to a couple of girls a year older than Tatum and Rath, and they stuck together through thick and thin, and through whatever might happen within their friendships, be it arguments, dating, or something equally as trivial. It was through these friends, their clique, that Tatum learned the meaning of friendship, and companionship.
It was also through this group that Tatum first met Audry Edmund, in the very first grade, and the two had been close ever since. In middle school, they had begun dating, and stayed a couple right through to high school, prom and all, and are still together now in college. It was their relationship that prompted Tatum to come to Evergrove, to study in the same school that Audry was going to for her journalism degree.
In high school, Tatum wasn't involved in a large amount of extra clubs. She founded the schools photography club, and helped out with photos for the school newspaper, but other than that, she wasn't involved in any sports or other events, unlike most of her friends. She was more focused on doing well in her classes, and getting out of the school for the day, to hang around their small town with her friends again. There was never anything very exciting for them to do, other than perhaps the occasional concert or movie, but they managed to have a good time regardless.
Tatum was an excellent student all through her school career, keeping her marks high and always having her projects and assignments in on time, without much bothering from her sister. Her brother was a bit lazier, but he is a whole other story. She certainly wasn't at the very top of her class, but she wasn't far behind either. It was in her senior year that Tatum actually decided that she wanted to go into work as a surgeon in her future. Her mother was a registered nurse, and it was partially in her mother's memory that she chose to go into the field of medicine, and helping other people. She hopes to specialize in neonatal surgery one day, once she is out of school and working in a good hospital.
Tatum is coming back to Evergrove for her second year of learning, and intends to live her second year in the dormitories, hopefully rooming with her girlfriend, Audry. Since they were both freshmen the previous year, they were unable to choose each other as roommates, and Tatum had a rather rough time living with a stranger, though she did get along very well with the other girl by the time that the end of the semester rolled around. She intends to rejoin her extra curricular studies from last year, namely yoga and the photography club, and maybe expand into doing some work for the school newspaper, if they will have her. Mostly, her day to day life at Evergrove consists of attending her classes, going to her job, and spending the remainder of her time with Audry.
