friends

Friends have always been a more difficult area for Tatum to excel in. She's unstable and has a hard time getting her emotions under control. She tries her best to make good first impressions on people, but it really depends on what mood you catch her in. She has ADHD, severe anxiety, and her powers cause her to have mood swings. She refuses to take medication for her disorders because she believes that she can control them if she has to, not that it always works out in her favor. Tatum is desperate for friends. She wants so badly for people to accept her the way she is and just not care that she's kind of on the crazy side. She needs positive influences in her life and people who won't make judgments on her, she does enough of that on her own. If you give her a chance she'll give you her best, but you'll have to accept her worst.

enemies

Tatum is somebody who prefers to stay on people's good side. I don't see her having many enemies. She tends to lash out at a lot of people. but that's only because of her anxiety and mood swings. She'll probably cuss you out and then immediately apologize and start crying. So, the only people who would consider her an enemy are the people who've really been offended by her. She doesn't mean to hurt people, but sometimes it is unavoidable. 

lovers

There have been a few guys who've made an appearance in Tatum's eighteen years of life. There was her first boyfriend, who left her because she "played with his emotions by practicing her powers on him" although she'll deny that. Her relationships haven't been too serious. She tends to get bored with people easily and never sticks around for too long. In her defense, she doesn't know how to be serious. She's spent most of her time being an introvert for fear that people won't accept her. Tatum needs someone to teach her what commitment is and teach her how to accept herself. Oh, and said person will have to deal with her annoying instability. 

current relationships

[Amanda Joy "AJ" Lane]

AJ and Tatum could be good friends! AJ has struggled from anxiety for a long time and is currently a student at Hammel. She's had trouble with her power of pheromone manipulation.

Hai Lin! Let's plot!

So I have this character Anthony whom I'd like to put in a thread with Tatum just for 'omg these two are from the same tv show and were love interests' sake. Nothing more than that, I have next to no idea what we'd end up doing with it. Maybe a little bit of gentle flirting because yolo, but uh....yeah, that's about all I got.

If you'd like to check out the rest of my character horde, you can find a link to my plot page in my siggy below. XD

[Adaryn Breslin]

{Addie/Tatum}

Ohmaigawsh I honestly have to thread these two because they have almost the exact same power, except Addie can see emotions as Aura's. I don't know how Tatum can see them. Anyway, Addie has a hard time with depression and anxiety, and severe family issues, so she's never the most stable of friends, but she is a real sweetheart. She definitely feels alone in her own power, so i'm sure she'd feel so much better with someone like her c:

[Tatum Reynolds]

Tatum & Amanda

They could definitely bond over their shared anxiety issues. Tatum also struggles with her power. They will be each other's shoulder to lean on!

Tatum & Anthony

Please excuse my overlook of the names, although everything I said about them still applies. They are definitely made to be together in some way. I say that they know each other through classes and then become better friends/light flirting like you said. Probably should just thread and see how it goes!

Tatum & Addie

Yes yes yes finally she has someone to help her with her powers. She doesn't exactly see emotions, she more feels them. If she's in a room with twenty people she'll feel a hint of everything that they're feeling, and if she concentrates hard enough she can single them out. I think it's a wonderful idea to put two unstable empaths together. c:

[Salem Hirch]

Salem & Tatum: Okay...so...first thought, if she and Anthony are friends she would be bound to talk to Salem sooner or later. My boy is painfully shy, but not around girls...so he'd openly talk to her without stammering over his own tongue. Also, he doesn't judge people at all...he may not like snobby people, but he'll even be friends with them. Yeah, I'm terrible at plots..lol I'm sorry. But if you have any thoughts or ideas just let me know! 

also, I have three older boys in my plotter...and there is a link in my signature, if you wanna check them out!

[Amanda Joy "AJ" Lane]

Oh yay and Lux is throwing Addie at her! (Addie and AJ are friends)! AJ's always been slightly anxious, but her power sent her over the edge with anxiety that she's trying to control.

[Tatum Reynolds]

Tatum & Salem

These two could definitely be good friends. She'd probably meet him through Anthony - or through classes. She'd be very fascinated by his power and probably be obsessed with it. I think she secretly wants to be an illusionist. We should definitely start a thread. <3

[Gabriel James]

Hey Lin!

So I was casually thread stalking and notice Tatum plays piano. Well my character Gabriel is the music teacher/band and choir director/ gives private lessons so if you are ever interested in any of the above for Tatum let me know!

Other than that, the only character I have who may interact with Tatum is Neo- who though a couple years younger would possibly be in a class or two with Tate (he's a bit ahead of the curve).

So if you ever wanna thread (or come up with any ideas for my other characters) let me know!! (:

[Tatum Reynolds]

Sounds good!

I will definitely pm you.

[Lucas Blacke]

LIN

I'm going to throw Lucas at Tatum for reasons that do not need explaining.
Anyway, if ye wanna know more, feel free to check out my plotter, shoot me a PM, or just plain ol' harass me.

I'm bad at this >.>

[Marnie Sullivan]

Lin! Hello! I have some ideas:

Tatum/Marnie - Marnie is my character Tatum is most likely to meet, because they're both Hammel students and fairly close in age. It would be fairly simple to put them in a class together or something. Marnie is fairly sheltered and has little experience with dealing with, for example, other people's mood swings, but she's also grasping for friends and willing to overlook a lot as long as long as it doesn't lead to, say, violence. If they befriended each other there'd be stumbling blocks along the way but I think that'd be fun.

Tatum/Josie - Josie is a Hammel janitor, so they might run into each other as well. She actually has some experience with mood swings, having been an angry teenager with an unstable home life. Usually Josie is like "ew making friends with students?" but it wouldn't be the first time she's felt a need to protect a kid over an issue she can relate with. At the very least, maybe she could drag Tatum to the nurse's office during a panic attack.

Tatum/Sophie - This would only really take place if Tatum ventures out into Pilot Ridge at some point, because Sophie doesn't ever visit the school. That being said, of all my characters, Sophie is best equipped to deal with Tatum in the event that she needs help; not only is Sophie a licensed nurse, but she has a history of anxiety and a protective streak a mile wide.

So yeah, what do you think?
