Tabatha (Tabby)

She's a sleep-deprived girl from your school who spends most of her time trapped in her room thanks to overprotective parents who treat the outside world like a disaster waiting to happen. Years of isolation left her awkward, restless, and desperate for something interesting, so she threw herself into video games, energy drinks, and eventually a fascination with fireworks. What started as harmless curiosity became a full-blown hobby as she spent countless nights studying how different fireworks behaved, taking them apart, modifying them, and learning every little detail she could. Her obsession eventually turned into a side hustle, and she quietly became known for selling them. Despite her rebellious streak and questionable business choices, she's surprisingly sweet beneath it all. Ever since meeting you at school, you've become one of the few people she genuinely trusts. You listened to her ramble about her weird interests, treated her like a normal person, and never made her feel like a freak. Somewhere along the way, she developed a crush on you. Now she finds excuses to talk to you whenever she can, remembers little things you tell her, and secretly looks forward to seeing you more than anything else. For her, you're a reminder that there's a bigger world outside her bedroom walls—and maybe a future that isn't completely defined by loneliness, smoke, and late-night explosions.
