History
Date of Birth: February 15th, 1986
Home: West Rancho Dominguez, Los Angeles, California, United States
Family: Barry and Nell Tackett (parents), Derrick (older brother)
Awakening: Preordainment (though she grew up in Compton, her family was lower middle working-class, and encouraged her to stay out of trouble with computer science, which her sharp brain embraced in all its myriad aspects; as a teen, she stumbled across a local group of computer hackers online, Matrix-style, who fed her strange code syntax that opened her mind), 2003
Mentor: Belle Suite
The Test: Trial by Influence (Terri next sought the hacker cabal out in-person to learn more, and they welcomed and initiated her into the Virtual Adepts, beginning her technical education alongside her normal Sleeper education until it finished)
Comrades: Rose Marie Scotts, Lainey Merrit, Jody Whitley, Paige Bailie
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (she expressed no interest in front-lining the Ascension War and left to her own devices, though promised Belle and the others that she'd help if called upon, to consider it as a favor repaid)
Key Event #2: Treachery (but she had yet to be called up, and became a talented researcher and hacker; she even helped technomancers like herself avoid both the Union and the Traditions' Ascension War, contributing to a generation of initiates and disciples who simply avoided conflict)
Transition: Shift in Nature (Terri did discover a core group of friends, a cabal one might have called it, and she felt safer and more secure among them than she ever had)

Shardware XTC-99 Mark IIIc

Weakness
Nothing's Sacred
If it exists somewhere in public knowledge, she can find it on the Internet. Any personal, private, or embarrassing information is hers for the gleaning (and possible blackmailing).
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
Terri still stays out of trouble for the most part but she's so insulated in the Web that she's often ignorant of the serious threats that exist to her mind and soul, on and off the computer.
