TABITHA

Tabitha is one of a few rare human prophets. Her abilities were not given much credit throughout much of her life, but she spent time studying on her own and listening to her intuition regarding the existence of multiple realities, and found through one of her predictions that they were in fact expecting her in another dimension. Long story short, she followed dream cues and vague hints to find a strange portal in a pool of silvery water, and ended up crossing over to another dimension. The trip effectively erased most of her memory of her life before that, though she still possessed her language skills, her conviction, and some of her sense of self.

Very used to dimensional travelers, her receivers brought her up to date on who she was and what she was expected to do, and after a surprisingly short instruction period, Tabitha was installed as a full-fledged prophecy teacher. She took on the first of her students, and after successfully bringing out his best talents and getting him into a good position, she received her second student, a young female. (Being that this girl's talents were great and her spirit was strong, it was suggested she could be a candidate for going back to Tabitha's world to try to teach humans.) Tabitha gave her a human name--Adele--for use in her new life, and proceeded to teach her everything she knew.

Tabitha tried to keep herself from getting too close to her student since it was inevitable that she would leave and not come back, but nevertheless she is very close to Adele and loves her like a daughter. Over the years she's taught her all kinds of prophetic arts, and now she is preparing the now-teenaged student for her transition. She faces the difficult task of helping Adele learn certain things so deeply that they will become second nature and survive the trip through the volatile pool. Adele can expect to arrive on the other side with little more than a name, a language, and her intuition, but Tabitha secretly hopes she will be remembered.
