❝ Tabby had known her whole life that there were werewolves in Beacon Hills. However, this knowledge wasn’t due to any terrifying encounter she had had with the local wolves as a child or sixth sense that only she possessed - Tabby knew because she came from a family of witches, ones who had lived in the small California town since it was just young, and who had kept themselves and their magic so secret that even the wolves had no idea who they shared the town with anymore, if they ever had at all.

And Tabby was certainly skilled at following her family’s devotion to secrecy and keeping her knowledge, and what she truly was, unknown to everyone else. Naturally socially awkward and prone to tripping over nothing but air in front of large groups of people, she had gone through most of her life with no true friends and only a handful of people she could nod to when she passed them in the halls. Her parents insisted that this was a good thing, better for helping her keep the secret of their witch-hood, but it had never stopped her from longing for deeper connections, for some friends she could talk to late into the night and who would be impressed when she showed off the cool new defensive spell she’d been working on instead of critiquing her pronunciation and hand movements.

When Allison Argent arrived in Beacon Hills, Tabby only found that want for connection increasing, but in a very different way than usual - Allison was easily the most beautiful girl she’d ever seen, and in true Tabby fashion, she’d taken one look at the school’s newest arrival and immediately started fantasizing about what to name their future children. However, also in true Tabby fashion, she couldn’t bring herself to actually approach Allison directly and was too afraid of Lydia Martin, who had taken the new girl under her wing, to try and get close to her through a friend group, so ever having a conversation with the object of her affections seemed impossible - until, at least, Tabby realized that Scott McCall, a shy boy whom Allison seemed to have taken an interest in, had suddenly gained that certain aura and scent of damp earth and moonlight that her parents had taught her to associate with werewolves.

Seizing her opportunity to get closer to Allison - and to finally learn more about the species her parents have always warned her to stay away from in order to keep their secret - Tabby approaches Scott and his dorky, energetic best friend and offers to use her magic to assist him in figuring out his newfound lycanthropy (revealing the Aquino family secret and thus breaking her family’s biggest rule as a result, but there’s a pretty girl involved so what is she supposed to do?). She promptly proves to be rather terrible at it, of course, fumbling her attempts to help as she fumbles most things, but being involved in Scott’s werewolf adventures seems to be gaining her both friends and the attention of the most beautiful girl in town, so she also can’t say she’s complaining.

Well, when Scott actually starts to be in danger and his grumpy older werewolf mentor dies a bunch of times, then she might complain a little. But perhaps this whole supernatural debacle may be a chance for Tabby to perfect her magic, finally be part of a friend group like she’s always wanted… and hopefully stop tripping over her feet and her tongue long enough to get the girl. ❞

Tabby: “Some people, like Lydia, give off a vibe of… right away, they’re like ‘Do not fuck with me’.”

Tabby: “My vibe is more like, ‘Hey, you could pour hot soup in my lap and I’d probably apologize to you’.”
