Tabi/Hooks

UC Prospect: Not a traditional student, but Tabi spends significant time on campus. A few years ago, she did a lot of coursework for her state EMT certification. And currently, she's spending even more time on campus - as she works through the her state Paramedic cert coursework. So, she's on (or around) campus a lot interacting with teachers, staff and students.

Firefighter: Tabi works for the Prospect Fire Department, at least for 8-11 months a year (see the next hook), as a firefighter and EMT. So, you could have always crossed paths with her in the course of her job.

Smokejumper: Tabi spends some of her time during wildfire season seconded to the Forest Service as a smokejumper. Smokejumpers are the craziest of the crazy - firefighters that parachute into remote areas to fight wildfires that can't be easily reached by other means.

Outdoorswoman: Tabi spends much of her precious free time outdoors - hiking, camping, mountain biking, rock climbing, surfing, scuba and free diving and even skydiving.

Daredevil: You might have noticed a common thread in some of these hooks? Tabi is a bit of a daredevil, willing (and liking?) to take risks. Not stupid risks mind you - she's not suicidal.

Geek chic: Yes, Tabi's outdoorsy - but she also likes a nice tabletop RPG session or graphic novel from time to time - so she's semi-regular at Guardian Games and Comicopalypse. Game on.

Dancing Queen: Tabi's "secret" vice? She likes to dance. Sssssh. You didn't hear that from me.
