- Weapon size is proportional to the size of the shadow from which it was summoned
- Tam has to be able to lift the weapon to summon it (i.e., she can't pull a tank out from the shadow of a wall). Larger, heavier weapons are tiring to summon, and to use.
Passive Magic
As her father was a demon, Tamara feels very at-home in dark places, and has no problem seeing in absolute darkness almost as well as she does in broad daylight.

Tamara positively exudes confidence. She is, without fail, one of the first to volunteer for anything that involves daring and will allow her to show off. She thinks she's hot stuff, and will make sure you know it. One thing she adores? Being the center of attention. She is difficult to insult and rile up simply because she thinks too highly of herself to believe negative things others have to say about her, which causes her to be quite full of herself, almost on the verge of egomania. This paired with her ambition leaves Tamara shocked into silence whenever she can't swagger and bluff her way into getting what she wants. That, or fight her way out of any trouble. No matter how dire the situation, Tam is usually confident that she'll come out unscathed (whether or not this is actually true).
Possessing a bad case of being two-faced, Tamara has over several years developed the ability to put on a different front for every social layer in which she interacts. Towards elders and superiors and other important people, she has learned to curb her wily flirtatiousness and instinct to tease, and instead adopt a respectful, charming persona and gear herself toward polite conversation and away from her bad habit of bragging. To those whom she feels comfortable around (whether or not the feeling is mutual), however, the refined facets seem to fall away, and she becomes a bold, humorous, suggestive young lady who feels no shame in leaning a little too far forward. And while she considers her sociable trait to be one of her better qualities, it is very easy for Tam to overly-assert herself, to invade the personal space of others, to pick physical fights with sharp words or fists.
Despite the sassy, altogether friendly front she projects, Tamara has a hard time understanding how others feel. Subtle hints at dislike or discomfort elude her, or worse, she interprets those signals incorrectly. Because she lacks the ability to put herself into others' shoes, Tamara tends to be very selfish and think little about how her gimme gimme attitude affects other people. She is entirely focused on getting what she wants, whether that's a championship trophy or merely the last slice of cake in the fridge. Furthermore, due to her being unable to easily change perspectives, Tamara can be very stubborn when presented with an idea that conflicts one of her own, and can be hard to sway or convince, nor can she take constructive criticism very well.

▼ B I O G R A P H Y
Tamara was born to a single mother in a small city known to be relatively unsafe. Despite this, the first few years of Tam's life passed without incident, and she lived a vibrant and active life, cheerily alone with her mother. She never really noticed or thought much of how on edge her mother always seemed to be.
As a small child, the girl often had difficulty sleeping at night. Although she eventually grew out of constantly crying for her mother's attention through the night, Tam never got the hang of falling asleep at a normal hour for a child, so to speak. She would often lie awake in her crib, watching and playing pretend with the shadows on the wall, the ceiling.
One night, a night that now she barely remembers, of course, a man entered her room at night, long after her mother had fallen asleep. Curious, Tam watched as the strange, tall man loomed over her, looking much like a shadow come to life. He left soon after, and though the toddler climbed out of her crib to peep out the window and look for him, he was gone for the night.
But that was not the last the little girl saw of the man. He returned the next night, and stayed a little longer. The night after that, too. And the one after that, and so on and so forth for the next several months, and eventually years. Her daddy, and a demon, he explained to her once she was old enough to understand. And Tam had to be sure to keep Daddy a secret from everyone, especially Mommy, because if she told other people about him, he would have to go away. Tam had a great deal of fun playing games with her daddy in the night (for she had never had a nighttime playmate before), so she was sure to hold onto this secret tight. And so her life proceeded, until the age of seven or so, enjoying her life as a normal girl during the day, and meeting with her father in the night. Oftentimes, they would even go on walks together through the streets.
It was on one of these walks that Tam would lose her beloved father for good. A strange demon attacked them that night, and though her father easily bested his opponent, Tam had been caught in the crossfire, and injured. All she can recall is bleeding profusely from her midsection before falling unconscious.
She awoke in a hospital bed, her mother frantic by her side. She'd gone sleepwalking and injured herself, was the only explanation anyone had as to how she had come to be hurt in such a way. And she did not correct them, because Daddy was supposed to be a secret. But Daddy wasn't there anymore, and Daddy never came back. Not the next night, nor the one after. She never saw him again.
It was the stress of losing her parent that drove Tam to become an angry, violent child, with a hair-trigger temper. All she longed for were those carefree days of meeting with her father after dark, and she couldn't have those anymore, and she had no idea why he'd left. It seemed like she was always infuriated, and she remained this way throughout most of her childhood, constantly under disciplinary action at school, mostly avoided by her peers.
Her mother never quite understood what had caused such a profound change in her child's demeanor, but she did what she could to help mitigate the damage that had been done. Once Tam was around the age of fourteen, the two moved residences, to a nicer location, the Kingdom of Thytha. Tam's mother hoped that this safer environment would help her daughter somehow, some way. And, to an extent, it did. Tam's violent streak cooled some in this new city, as she grew into her later teens and matured some. It had been several years since her father's disappearance, and time had indeed allowed her to heal, however much she could. And though she was growing into a young woman, and starting to focus more on studies of magic, she always kept within her heart of hearts a desire to see her father again, to find him. It was this desire, burning in he, that manifested itself as her unwavering ambition and confidence as she grew up. Her outgoing nature and better environment fostered her growth as a social butterfly, and soon, her life returned to a new 'normal'. She studied. She made friends. She dated. She took up martial arts (and excelled at it!).
And then, the train came to Thytha. Tam and her mother had always been aware of her adventurous spirit; so there was little discussion about whether or not Tam would be boarding the train. She had already decided that she had to. To learn more about her potential as a magician. And maybe.... To find her father. Somehow.
