STRATAGEM*
━━━━main character:
TAI SHUMWAY (OC)
━━━━love interest:
RAVEN REYES
━━━━faceclaims:
CHLOE BENNET AS TAI SHUMWAY
━━━━timeline:
SEASON ONE TO CURRENT*
━━━━status:
AVAILABLE

━━━━BASICALLY:
Tai is the only survivor of the Exodus Ship Crash (Diana Sydney's rebellion). The 100 find her when they are searching the crash site. I definitely see her bonding with Raven (obviously 🙄) and Monty because they're all some type of engineer/mechanic. She and Raven slowly fall in love throughout the many seasons, probably getting together by season three. You're obviously going to have to deal with how she fits into the city of light shit. Obviously I would rather that Tai didn't die because I love her, but if you don't feel like keeping it up through all the season if you could but that would really sad. Or you could just also end it ominously or something, your choice.

━━━━ONE:
Feel free to change her first name but her last name and faceclaim must stay the same. Her mother is dead but if she does appear in flashbacks or anything like that or you just want her mother to have a faceclaim then she should be white because Chloe Bennet is biracial. If you really really want to change her faceclaim, you'll have to discuss it with me.

━━━━TWO:
Stratagem is defined as "a plan or scheme, especially one used to outwit an opponent or achieve an end." This was really just a temporary title, please feel free to change it. I know there was a reason I picked I just can't remember it right now oops

━━━━THREE:
She was not totally unaware of everything at play before launch, but she also was not aware of everything going on. Also, she finds out that Diana Sydney kinda murdered her father during the trip to earth and they put her in this encloses portion which is kinda how she survived (which is not that important).

━━━━FOUR:
She'll grow on him but Bellamy is really mistrustful of her even though the others are like relax dude her father was just killed and her ship crashed. Clarke doesn't mind her, but she's obviously sad because Tai tells them that the Exodus launching crippled the Ark, and that everyone is probably dead. Also, she didn't realize that there weren't enough ships for everyone to go down to the ground.

━━━━FIVE:
She's a computer engineer but when she was sixteen to eighteen she kinda hacked into the Ark and her father managed to hide it so she didn't get floated or locked up in the Skybox. This also means that she suspects foul play on the Exodus ship and when the 100 is brought to Mt. Weather, she agrees with Clarke because their the only ones with tech.

━━━━SIX:
I would say that she's in the age range of nineteen to twenty-one. Her father and her mother either weren't married, or they they were and they got divorced. She lived with her mother until she was around fourteen and then something happened (your choice) and she was floated.

━━━━SEVEN:
Slow-burn with Raven!! But by season three/season four, they should probably be together. She would most likely go up with Spacekru because she's want to rescue Raven but I could see it being really angsty and shit if they were separated for those 6 years. If you choose the latter, you would need to come up with a solid (that needs my approval) reason on why she would leave her girlfriend right before a wave of radioactive fire hits.

━━━━EIGHT:
I would recommend rewatching like some of the raven focused episodes of season two to season four because Raven deals with a lot of shit. I think that keeping her and Wick would be okay but clarifying that he is kinda just her rebound. Also Raven can be Bi or Pan, as she cannonly likes dudes. Depending on where you go for the season four to season five, Shaw probably won't happen.

━━━━NINE:
Tai is of Chinese and (and possibly Maori, different sources said different things) origin meaning "great extreme" or "too much." If you want to change her name, you will need to discuss with me. Her name gives me big lesbian vibes which is perfect because she is one. And she is lowkey a bit of a handful.

━━━━TEN:
Sorry this is such a mess lol. If you end up getting the plot feel free to discuss anything with me, I know this is a little confusing. If I really tried I could probably organize this a little better but that feels like a lot of unnecessary time and effort.
