History:
-Born in Waco, TX.
-Given up for adoption when she was very young (does not remember her parents)
-Adopted on two separate occasions by different families but neither worked out and Tara felt she was unwanted and couldn't depend on others to look after her.
-Tara's second adopted family tried to build her self-discipline by enrolling the pre-teen in some self-defense martial arts classes. Tara genuinely enjoyed this classes and kept up the interest even after her second adopted parents gave her back to the state (following her first recorded act of shoplifting). Tara has shown a particular affinity for Aikido and other martial arts that use an opponent's strength against them. Despite her interest in self defense, Tara has never really gotten the hang of the self-discipline aspects of martial arts.
-Officially a Ward of the State, Tara attended school in the Dallas ISD through 8th grade. During this time she was repeatedly suspended for stealing or fighting with other students. She was also caught by police for shoplifting on more than one occasion.
-Although she seemed to sleep through classes she did well enough on her tests to keep her grades at around the B- range. Some of her teachers believe she cheats on tests but have never been able to catch her doing so. Others believe Tara is actually very smart and has figured out she only NEEDS to do well on tests to get by in school.
-Near the end of her 8th grade year Tara was nearly expelled for putting a male classmate in the hospital. Though she had been suspected of fighting before she had not actually been caught in the act before now and the DISD superintendent wanted to use this as a chance to expell the troublesome tomboy. A state official responsible for Tara's well-being convinced the district to let Tara finish the year since there were only a few weeks left. The superintendent agreed but only on the condition that Tara attended High School in another district.
-Tara needed to shape up quick (having only 4 years before she became a legal adult) so the state officials responsible for Tara decided it was time to take drastic action. So it was that Tara was transferred over to New York State foster care and sent to attend Public High School #552 in the heart of New York City. This suited Tara just fine, life in the Big Apple sounded fun and exciting and she eager to enjoy everything the city had to offer, even if some of those things belonged to other people.
Other:

-Currently assigned to New York State Foster Care and is looked after by the enigmatic Officer MacPherson who also serves as Tara's legal guardian. Tara also lives in an apartment with MacPherson but she rarely seems him stay there.
