Character Pitch:
"Reporter Thomas calling in!" "What do you mean you expected a boy?"
Eager writer looking for something juicy to write. Wants to be an author, but needs to earn her bread, so a reporter she became!
Thomas, also called by the feminine name Thomasa, is one of Golden City’s many reporters. A sensationalist with a head full of stories. With a writer’s ambition it is often hard to tell what is fiction and what is truth with Thomas, as everything becomes a complot and a gear of another story. However, it gives some live to the dullness everyday and as such Thomas is kept around, often with her articles heavily edited so that the credibility of the papers don't suffer too much.
Born as the youngest of a series of six daughters Thomas is often considered a disappointment within the family. Where they hoped that Thomas would be the son they had all hoped for they got another daughter instead. It would be the first of many griefs Thomas would give to the Baris family.
Too hung up over her birth the family decided to give Thomas the name of the male that never came. A name that held all of the wishes of a son. As the sixth daughter in house she was handed and passed down between the hands of her sisters that couldn't be bothered to look after yet another sibling. Her father worked long and hard hours as a clerk while her mother was a mid-wife. Neither jobs that generated enough of an income to support a large family. This lead to it that she was often ditched in a corner to entertain herself. As the streets of Golden City aren't places for a child to roam freely she thus was often stuck inside, where her imagination had to amuse her.
However Thomas was an active child. With too much energy in her body and an overactive imagination the girl often ran to and fro, coming back with the wildest stories and large tears in the hand-me-downs of her sisters. It grew to the point that her mother frustratingly cut off her long hair, claiming that she should look the part if she was going to act like a wild son. It was the beginning of worse as Thomas took this as a sign to go wild. Now all grown up and an adult the female is still running about. Now hoping to become an author of sorts she refuses to bend to the rest of her parents' and society's expectations. Still with that vivid imagination she had as a child and the wildest stories that mixes fiction with truth she became a freelance reporter to earn her bread, aspiring to be one day a bestselling author.
Appearance: Thomas is a lanky tall female with short messy dark hair and wild hazel eyes. Upon meeting her for the first time she is often mistaken for a male, with her boyish charm and name. However, despite her choice in fashion the female despises it to be mistaken by gender, making good effort in verbally reminding and correcting all who she encounters.
