Tabitha Pang (Gerosha Gaming Universe)

Tabitha Mahalia Pang is an outlaw, freedom fighter, and Sodality of Gerosha member, being part of a gang called the Twirlflame Trio. This version of her features in Sodality: Battle for Metheel, the Swappernetters Character Pack for The Sims 3, as well as in the Swappernetters: Frontliner Story Pack for The Sims 4.

She is the daughter of Kyle Medsor and Hea Pang. Other important figures in her early life include John Domeck, Marge Ramirez, Stephanie Barrin, Donte McArthur, Candi McArthur, Jordan Sterlie-Steel, Rev. Beauregard, Rev. Brocklyn, Roy Bernald, and SCALLOP agent Shaniqua Tamery, among many others.

Canonical powers

 * Similar to those of her Earth-G7 counterpart.

Tabby can run really fast, perform all manner of parkour stunts, run on air, and can generate a flame trail behind her if she runs next to her friends. Also like Mapacha, she has enhanced strength and rapid healing. She gained an additional ability from the power transfer: the ability to emit a signal that causes temporary nerve paralysis in the legs of her targets.

Powers in The Sims 4
Due to the nature of her powers, Tabby has the Heat Acclimation perk, allowing her to function especially well in really hot summer weather without immediate ill effects.

Canonical skills

 * Similar to those of her Earth-G7 counterpart.

According to The Sims 3
In this game, Tabitha has, through gameplay, acquired various skills that are specially emphasized. Not all copies of her files will translate in all game to her having those same skills. She's acquired skills in the form of charisma, fishing, cooking, gardening, handiness, street art, logic, writing, social networking, advanced tech, martial arts, nectar making, sculpting, mixology, riding, alchemy, and can acquire the assassination skill with appropriate mods.

According to The Sims 4
By default, Tabitha's Sim ships with no special skills. However, she can be assigned strong skills in acting, cooking, charisma, dancing, fabrication, fishing, fitness, gardening, logic, photography, piano, programming, rock climbing, veterinarian medicine, and writing. Any additional skills related to her Swappernetter lifestyle may require mods. It should be warned that giving her this specific set of features can result in her becoming prone to insane fits of jealousy, so additional mods to disable jealousy may be needed to keep her personality and relationships on track.

Weaknesses
Canonically, Tabitha's weaknesses are the same as those of her Earth-G7 counterpart. However, she has no particular special weaknesses as a Sim.

Equipment
Canonically, Tabby's equipment would be similar to that of her Earth-G7 counterpart. This would especially include Zeran wardrobes, granting her pocket dimension space for holding things such as fold-up tents. In Sims gameplay, her Inventory tab takes the place of all such logistical storage concerns. While most of her peers would not possess similar privileges canonically, all Sims in all Sims games post-Sims 2 have an Inventory tab, making her possession of such not the least bit special.

Early life
Tabitha was born in 2013, as the daughter of Gray Champion sidekick Hea Pang and SCALLOP Junior Agent-in-Training Kyle Medsor. This made her the granddaughter of Joo-Chin Pang, one of the founders of Swappernetter Society - along with Anthony Parnel. She grew up idolizing Candi Flippo-McArthur, known better to the world as "Ciem," to the point that she even dressed as Ciem on Halloween one year. She was raised in pretty much all the same professions as her mother regarding Order of the Oraphim business, though she didn't share Hea's interest in running a history museum. Her ambition in life was to become a nurse, though she also didn't mind being a traceuse. Her father perished in battle against Eqquibus, one of the Gray Champion's deadliest 21st-century enemies.

As a toddler, Tabby was relocated from her early life in Boston to Jonesboro, Arkansas. This was due to the fall of Boston under an invasion by Halal Affadidah's ISIS-like forces, being facilitated by Screwworm Network goons Brackett and Hibbins - who were there mostly to keep John Domeck at bay. She began hero-worshiping Candi after the Battle for Cincinnati, in which it was Ciem that helped the Gray Champion defeat Eric Korsicht.

Capture
Tabby was homeschooled for most of her early life. But right before turning 13, the Beliah Amendment Enforcements Drive was ramped up by Toklisana's shadiest members of Congress. For keeping the Pusher's Ruby from falling into the wrong hands, as well as saving her friends from being murdered by Screwworms who were filling SJCC with poisonous gas, Tabby was eventually sentenced to serve 3 years at the Mansfield Juvenile Center.

Most of the inmates didn't feel like Tabby deserved to be there, as she had acted heroically. Yet, as the Chrome Kite politicized its justice system into anything but justice; more and more political prisoners began filling the facility. Attempts on Tabby's life were met with supernatural brute force, as Maurice the Ferryman began assassinating those who ignored a stern command from God that Tabitha was not to be harmed while she was inside Mansfield.

Escape
Three days before she was to be released, Tabby and her cellmate Sarah were abducted by Chrome Kite thugs from right out of the prison. The goons decided that to get around Maurice, they would smuggle the girls into Ameristan. They stripped the girls naked and tied them up, with plans to execute them inside an abandoned home via gunshot to the head. Their reasoning was that if this plan failed, the krokodil zombies would deal with the girls instead. As Horace Rantiba and Ted Yusef schemed to make the girls pay for their association with the Gray Champion, the thugs decided that the best way to hurt Tabitha without Maurice killing them would be to force Tabitha to watch them gang-rape and murder Sarah in front of her.

However, a gone-rogue SCALLOP agent, Shaniqua Tamery, intercepted Yusef and Rantiba, and executed the goons before they got very far. Shaniqua had to vanish, having elected to join the Navyrope Society following her exile after going rogue from SCALLOP. She was able to get the girls and flee the farm in Dexter, Missouri, with an army of krokodil zombies heading straight for the girls' location! As the girls feared they'd be tracked, they were rescued when Plum Bixie arrived seemingly out of nowhere to dispose of the zombie hoard. This shocked all of them, as Plum Bixie was thought to have died years ago. On the other hand, this new Plum Bixie wore a fox mask, and seldom spoke. None of the girls were sure if that were the actual Zize Choi underneath or not.

A new life
After getting back inside of Arknoia with help from Tobias Reno, Tabby and Sarah met with Trista Clarion and Rev. Renald Reginald Beauregard. The two got involved in Frontliner activity, with Tabby and her friends quickly figuring out that Hassler's Jill Hook recruit was a spy. Jill responded to this by becoming Lady Chillingworth full stop, threatening all of them. This led to Lady Chillingworth and the Hgs, with help of the Stagtar Legions, capturing several students and Frontliners. Jill seized this moment to kill Atroce, devastating Hassler.

Wishing to ensure that Atroce didn't die in vain, Tabby and Sarah hatched a plan to borrow whatever hidden rubies Hea had left, after finding a way to sneak back onto the property Hea was on. Their plan was to use it to fulfill Marge's wish to retire, by taking her Mapacha del Feugo powers and splitting them among Tabby and her two allies.

Hea couldn't let Hester's Locket be found, ever. So instead, she handed off a weaker, yet, similar ruby. Hea was later incarcerated for no reason at all. The new "Twirlflame Trio" then took off to Marge's house, and began the power transfer. Yet, Marge wasn't careful about hiding what had happened, via signal spoofing. As such, her lack of Marlquaan bond readily tipped off the Chrome Kite that she had passed her powers to someone else! Marge was also sent back to prison.

Tabby learned about John's tenuous situation to the northwest, and vowed she'd do whatever she could to get her family put back together. For her, that made this quest to destroy the Chrome Kite personal! Her boyfriend, Jordan Sterlie, had become a Frontliner as well. However, he was working for Kamhold, rather than Trista. She longed for a day when the two of them could develop their relationship in a more meaningful direction. Yet, they needed to focus on their work for the time being.

Aftermath
Carelessness by the regime led to a miniature Marlquaan storm turning Erica Johann into Bliksemhek, after the latter picked a fight with Tabby and lost. The mentally unstable Erica blamed Tabby for her hellish transformation into the monster, leading to her hating Tabby most of all.

Witnessing the carnage that she'd inspired, Tabby decided to invoke Geoff's help to smuggle herself to Texas, to complete her mission, knowing SCALLOP would place her in protective custody. Turning herself in to Geoff didn't end well for the latter, as it led to him getting killed by Bliksemhek. Finally, Tabby and her Twirlflame Trio friends found a way into Texas together. Tabby cuts a deal so that Sarah and Tobias can lead reconstruction efforts after the Chrome Kite is taken down. However, in exchange, she has to do the protective custody time that Lex assigned initially to the other two - along with her own. Having two years in prison to look forward to, Tabby makes the deal - with Jordan vowing to wait for her.

She gets a deal struck to get her mother held until after the Battle for Little Rock inside SWCC, and gets Candi out of Houston Women's to help her and her friends finally take the Tug down, provided that SCALLOP secret ops would rescue Hea from McPherson's. The Twirlflame Trio later helps lead Ciem through Little Rock, as the Tug installations become more and more compromised.

This leads to a showdown with Feathertop, followed by the Chrome Kite pulling out all stops when the Sodality arrives. To everyone's shock, Extirwraith reveals that Clamdor injured the Tomte, as well as giving the clear to the kidnapping, and eventual rape-murder of Ivalu Molgaard, invoking the wrath of Krampus - and the inhabitants of Nordreichdunn.

A shaky alliance forged, as the Nordreichdunni forces joined the Sodality, the military of Toklisana, the Navyropes, and the Swappernetters to take down the Chrome Kite once and for all. However, this victory was still a ways away from being able to restore the United States. Tabby spent the next two years in SWCC. To her benefit, almost everyone else she loved as able to go free. Eventually, both her mother and Jordan's were able to find love again, and marry. Jordan changed his last name to Steel as well, and adopted Samantha after she was discovered to be his Phaletori-created Marlquaanite genetic half-clone. Tabby and Jordan eventually marry, and have a child of their own: Trevar Steel. Giving up her powers in 2040, Tabby retires from Frontliner work completely, and becomes a nurse - as she once planned to.

Personality
For Tabby, the quest is about family. The Icy Finger had cost her the chance to ever know her father. They had taken her mother away from her. They had taken away John, who was like a grandfather to her. They had killed her grandmother. They had put her "aunt" Marge in prison - again! As for her childhood idol, Candi? Also a political prisoner, due to the Icy Finger's meddling in politics! They threaten the Swappernetters - her new, current "family." They destroyed the Sodality of Gerosha - which was also like family to her!

Enough was enough! Most of the Icy Finger didn't have traditional family; so hurting their families would be meaningless. All they (and the Chrome Kite by extension) valued, was their raw lust for godlike power. So she was going to take that away from them. Forever! All other personality details about her, canonically, should be similar to those of her Earth-G7 counterpart, unless otherwise noted.

In keeping with her desire to be a nurse one day, Tabby is given the World-Renowned Surgeon lifetime wish in The Sims 3. Her sign in that game is Leo. Her attributes are Family-Oriented, Supernatural Fan, Brave, Brooding, Rebellious, and Athletic. Her favorite food according to the game would be egg rolls, though it's debatable how much she'd like them canonically. Her favorite color in the game is lilac, the color of her outfit at her first arrest. Her favorite music is listed by the game as being western, though she's canonically a fan of synth-pop.

According to The Sims 4 on the main Dozerfleet desktop, her true aspiration is to have a soulmate. Her attributes are Active, Socially Awkward, and Alluring. She develops the secondary traits of Hero, Lover, and Rebellious. The game also in one play through gave her the Graduated High School Early trait, in spite her and Jordan Sterlie performing a lot of the same actions at the high school in the High School Years expansion pack - released after her Sims 4 files were made. This runs contrary to how she had to pursue a GED via SCALLOP, given that the Chrome Kite did its best to prevent her from getting a proper education. In possibly a fit of woke favoritism in programming, the same actions that allowed Tabitha to graduate early backfired on Jordan causing him to be expelled.

By default, her gameplay leads to her being prone to developing the Energetic lifestyle - which can be lost if she's prevented from exercising too often. The version of Tabitha offered for download on DzMD has the Rennaisance Sim attribute, along with the traits Quick Learner, Maker, Active, and Perfectionist. She is also coded as a Celebrity Sim, with the rank of Notable Newcomer.

Trivia

 * The trickiest part of creating Tabitha in The Sims 3 was to get her hair and hat right. Since hair and hat are considered the same thing by that game, finding a mix-and-match of hair and hat that allowed her to wear a red beanie cap and have long black hair proved extremely difficult, resulting in the Carharrt Beanie Set mod from RASSO being necessary for Tabby to have both.


 * Tabitha's arm tattoos, while generic, serve a similar purpose to the body tattoos of Faith Connors in Mirror's Edge Catalyst, who became an inspiration behind Tabby's design. Notably, Tabby doesn't have any tattoos on her face.


 * Her gloves were the trickiest thing to create properly in The Sims 4, requiring Moicom's Fingerless Gloves for Women mod from Mod the Sims to work. Those gloves, noteworthily, are technically understood by the game as socks, making it difficult for Tabby to wear certain outfits without appearing to have stopped believing in wearing socks unless she foregoes her gloves in those outfits.
