Tabby
Background
Tabby's home life wasn't the best- an overworked mom who died on her 13th birthday, a dad on disability, addicted to pain meds and alcohol, living in an old Victorian home on a mostly-overgrown farm at the edge of a dying small Massachusetts town. About her only solace was the attic space she'd adopted as a playroom- full of all sorts of books, crystals, and knickknacks that would appear right at home in a modern witch's lair.
The fact that nothing blew up or created a portal to another world in all her childhood play is a minor miracle herself, but that luck ended on her 14th birthday during an alcohol-infused self-loathing-driven ritual meant to imbue oneself with great power: an invitation for possession. Something took her up on the offer, and the frantic attempts to un-do the invitation included but was not limited to- a tri-county car chase, the destruction of sixteen mailboxes, 18 totalled cars, including her dad’s half-reconstructed ’76 duster, driving said unregistered, not-street-legal duster under the influence without a license, the desecration of a church, the destruction of a centuries-old work of art, and the near-death of one police officer. Tabitha, needless to say, was remanded to juvie for 4 years (only because the original judge couldn’t extend the sentence further) and her work with FBSD began as "probationary" in a form of community service to go toward reparations.
The night ended in the church, shortly after angrily yelling at a tabernacle that it was time for God to "put up or shut up" she blacked out and awoke- demon possessor gone, but in her current feliform. She's been trying to reverse it ever since.
Tabby spent 4 years enrolled in St. Ives Prep- a juvie facility that’s normally reserved for wayward teenage girls of America’s elite. She was a charity case- one of the poor lower-class that would have had trouble fitting in even if she hadn’t been the only one covered in fur. Socially, she was an outcast rebel dreaming of the day she’d leave, lay low until she found a cure, complete her community service, go to college, and hopefully re-start her life without all that old baggage.
She arrived in the city four months ago and proved that there’s no plan- however simple- that she can’t foul up. She hasn’t found a cure, still owes tons of community service, hasn’t secured financial aid for college, and rather than keep a low profile, she’s gained her own unwanted internet celebrity, appearing in hundreds of memes, video shorts, mashups, deepfakes, video game mods, and even appeared on the boxes of a Brickstown pizzeria (“Tastes like Victory”) .
There’s even a Tabby Tracker website that trades sighting pics for a chance at a free pizza!
Despite constantly trying to suppress the attention and drive away her “fans,” she’s now got her own subreddit and was recently the “topic” for a fanfiction site’s contest. Of course, this is your typical “internet celebrity” with a rabid, focused fanbase, but for much of the real world, “Tabby, who?” is much more common, so she couldn’t capitalize on this notoriety even if she had to.
