Full Name:
Tate Isabella Young
Nickname:
They call her Tay, a nickname she picked up when she was younger. It's a combination of the first two letters of her first name, and the first letter of her last.
Age:
Eighteen
Gender:
Female

Appearance:
Tate has a fiery appearance to match her fiery personality. Her bright red curls fall around her shoulders, framing her heart shaped face. The smirk normally plastered across her pale pink lips seem to brighten her round blue eyes. She doesn't slouch, but she doesn't seem to really care about her posture anyways. Tay is one of those girls who can manage to catch your eye without needing a body. Her face has very pretty features, having a strong jawline, and a dainty nose. As for makeup, she barely wears any except for mascara, and eyeliner. Being relatively small, standing at about 5'3", she can get mocked, being teased with names like, "leprechaun" and "ginger." But, despite being like that, she can defend herself pretty well, and packs a pretty good punch. Although, she is quite pale, Tate adores the sun, and loves just sitting outside. When it comes to style, Tate appears to just wing it most of the time. During the colder months of the year, she mixes and matches jean with tops such as plaid flannels, and random t-shirts. But, when it comes to the months where it starts to warm up, Tate likes to be different, girlier. She likes to wear skirts, and crop tops, and try new things with her hair. She enjoys showing off her tattoo, and is always seen wearing this locket.
Personality:
A word to describe Tate's personality it different. As mentioned before, she has a fiery demeanor, always short tempered, and sharp tongued. But there's some thing else besides that. Behind all of the remarks, and outbursts, there's vulnerability. Terribly misunderstood, all Tate wants is someone who gets it. All of her life she was shoved around, and tormented, leading her to shut everyone out. She's never had a real friend in her entire life; it's like she can't seem to grasp the concept of how to trust. One good quality Tay possesses is the fact she does care for others. She has a motherly instinct somewhere inside her, allowing her to care for others, even if she doesn't particularly like them. Yet, a downside, she refuses to let people care for her herself.
When it comes to the rules, Tate doesn't really notice them. She follows them most of the time, but there are those rare moments where she'll completely go against it. She never really drinks, maybe on special occasions, and during a horrible time, but never really at parties. Tay won't even look at a cigarette though; in her mind, they bring up too many bad memories, and they're just distasteful. When she is very aggravated, or sad, she will go and listen to music, for as it seems, it is the only thing that will ever calm her down. When Tate is happy, though, her laugh can practically light up the room. She, overall, is just a very eccentric girl.
Grace:
Tate has two grace. The larger ability happens to be the power to generate and control fire, having it shoot from the tips of her fingers, and dance around the palm of her hand. The smaller ability is to create small objects, and organisms out of thin air; that grace does not work very often, nor does it warn you when it does.
Strengths: Tate is able to stand up for herself, and others when being threatened, both verbally and physically. Also, she can improvise on the spot, and is very useful in tough situations.
Weaknesses: She can get angry very easily, and she can get violent. Tay does not trust anybody, and that can be a bit of a problem when working with someone. When it comes to her graces, she can't quite control the fire all quite yet, and using too much gives her horrible migraines to the point where she may blackout, and suffer partial memory loss. For her smaller grace, as mentioned before, it comes and goes randomly, and even then, she can only do it about 3-5 times a day.

History:
Tate was always the child that was ignored. She was born and raised in New York, up until the age of 18. Her mother had died just a little after she turned 4, leaving Tate, and her sister, Georgia, living with their distraught father. In the months after their mother died, Tate observed her father coming home later, and later each night, intoxicated. She watched as her father came right to Tate, beating her, shamelessly, and how in the moments he was sober, he completely blew her off. She arrived at school, bruised, and no one noticed, or seemed to care, not even the teachers. The only person she ever cared about was her sister After awhile, she just faded into the background, no one speaking to her, or even looking in her direction. When she was 12, Tay snapped, accidentally discovering her grace, and setting her home on fire. Georgia, Tate's sister, died in the fire, leaving Tay devastated herself. Even though the fire fighters deemed the reason it started was because there was a cigarette left lit, Tate knew the truth, and she knew of what she was capable of. After that, Tate lived with her father, who was slowly, but progressively getting better. Although, as soon as her 18th birthday rolled around, Tate packed up her things, and got away, relocating to where she is today.
