AVA MARIE TANNER

29, JUNE 7, 1985, PYSCHIC, BILLIE PIPER.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Ava has always had some clairvoyance, occasionally getting an unexpected glimpse into the future. But she is better known and employed for her strength in telepathy and ability to persuade people into seeing things her way. Her seductive looks coupled with these talents has proven to be quite a lucrative career. Neither persuaded for good or evil, Ava stays true to the neutrality of it all. Whoever is the highest bidder receives her services. Her weakness will always be her sense of self preservation and of course, lacking immortality poses dangers when dealing of others of supernatural persuasion, but she often is able to “talk” her way out of sticky situations.

PREFERENCES

LIKES: Perfection, money, the art of persuasion, hot coffee on a cold day, sexy outfits, handsome men to keep her distracted, yoga pants and slouches t-shirts, cuddling with Mr. Smith (her cat), curling up on the couch on cold days under a blanket reading a good thriller, a challenge and that handsome stranger who has haunted her visions for as long as she can remember.DISLIKES: Arrogant, misogynist men, women with no fashion sense, chick flicks, over the top romantic gestures, commitment, bitter coffee, cheap make up, gaining weight of any kind, being cheated, bad hair cuts, being controlled by others, uncontrollable visions, and not all of the details when it comes to her clairvoyance. STRENGTHS: Her telepathy, her ability to persuade others (even if it was against their original stances), being business minded and not wrapped up in the politics of good verses bad, her sex appeal, her physical health, her lack of connectedness to anyone.WEAKNESSES: Her clairvoyance, her stubbornness, her obsession with perfection, her greediness for success and prestige, her hot temper when people try to cheat or lie to her (especially since she knows otherwise), her overwhelming need to figure out the unknown man in her visions and her secret love of being challenged.

SECRETS & FEARS

SECRETS: She doesn’t want to fall in love because that would require giving up her career, doesn’t trust anyone to know that her clairvoyance is unpredictable, she enjoys tipping the scale sometimes (on both sides), she lacks the ability to engage in meaningful conversation, and she is an introvert most of the time.FEARS: Finally meeting the mystery man and having him hate her, being poor and unable to indulge in her expensive taste, being underdressed for an occasion, her abilities working against her, dying at the hands of a client, and getting a really awful and unfixable haircut.

PERSONALITY

Ava is a lady and a seductress. She enjoys her career as a free-lance telepath and the rewards that come with it. She embraces sexuality and exudes confidence. She is fierce in business and known for her professional yet sensual sense of business. In her personal life, well there isn’t much of one. An introvert who enjoys a good read and a hot cup of coffee, she is often found in her apartment with her loving Persian cat, Mr. Smith. She prides herself on perfection and being able to buy the nicer things in life. Her identity is built on those things, not to mention her lifestyle. She isn’t worried about her alignment with any particular side, maintaining a “neutral” stance.

HISTORY

Born to a middle class family in New York City, New York. Her mother worked for a bank as a secretary and her father worked for a business office as an advisor to clients. What he advised, Ava never knew. But what she did know is that her father left early and came home late. Never really involved and never really seemed to care. He seemed more like a roommate to the woman and child, than ever like a father. And Ava had suspicions from the age of puberty that something else was going on. Her father’s late night “meetings” and secretive lifestyle caused her senses to stand on all ends. She suspected that her father was truly more successful than he ever cared to share with her mother and herself and that his late nights were more than just late nights at the office. She knew it and deep down, so did her mother. But her meek mother of 110 pounds and 5 foot frame never could find it in herself to leave him. And while Ava loved her mother, a sense of disgust began to fester as she grew older. Her feelings towards her father were even worse, she quickly grew to be cold and disconnected from her absentee father. It wasn’t until she was the ripe age of 17 years old did she learn the truth, and not in the most ordinary way.

One night, while lying in her bed reading the latest Babysitter’s club, Ava heard her father and mother’s muffled voices. The conversation seemed to be growing intense by the vibrations rumbling through the wall. Curiosity overtook her sense of daughterly duty and she crept quietly from her pink bedroom into the dark hallway outside of the living room. As she neared it, the voices became clearer. They were both talking about the weather and work but then, in the most disjointed way, began to say hateful things to one another. Her mother spoke of her loneliness and how she wishes she had married the boy down the street instead of the handsome stranger in town. And he talked about gruesome details of his late nights and how he wished he could just rid of the disaster he had as a wife. Ava covered her mouth in horror at the cruelty of his words. Anger muddled with sadness prompted the young blonde to step out from her hiding, tears flooding her eyes. She screamed at her father for being a heartless, cheating bastard and her mother for being a spineless wimp. They both sat staring at her in complete awe and disbelief. Before either of them could say another word, she stormed to her room and shut the door. That would be the last thing she would ever say to them.

They got into a car wreck the night before her High school graduation and both perished. She had accepted a position as an Au Pair in London for a very well-to-do family. She quickly excelled in her job. She was loved by the kids, especially by the husband. It was during this time that Ava began to realize that she had a special gift. At first, terrified by her discovery, Ava convinced herself that it was all in her head. But after tuning into the husband’s lustful thoughts of her while putting the kids to bed, she knew it was so much more. Using the husband’s lust in her benefit, Ava was able to convince him to give her a starting position in his company. She was unaware of just what she was getting into, but she was up for the challenge.She quit the job as the Au Pair to focus on being the best secretary and by the end of her second year, she was quickly on her way to the top. Barely 22 years of age and personal secretary to the CEO (and lover) she was adored by men and hated by women, which she didn’t mind. She didn’t care for making friends or keeping them.

By 27 she had a lofty position at the top of the company chain, multiple lovers, and an expensive loft on the nice side of town. She making way more money than both of her parents combined. When she was approached to travel abroad for the company and conduct negotiations on behalf of them, she jumped right in. They relocated her back to the states and she began running the company from there. What no ones know is that in order to become such a powerful partner in the company, Ava had to work a little magic. Using her powers of telepathy and power of persuasion, Ava was able to work her way up the company ladder. Sure, there was some hard work in there too, but her good looks and abilities did most of the work. She has also had independent work outside of the firm, helping people of all kinds (including some not-so-much of a human) to get what they need. That is how she ended up in Beacon Hills, where she is currently working on a closing a deal for a very well-paying client.
