I know I write a whole lot about the major characters (Peter and Sylar), but I like thinking about the rest. It's a whole world! I based Tammy off a nice lady who used to work for me who told me something of her life story. Not that she lost her daughter - but that she'd been a real hell-raiser when younger. You wouldn't know for how steady, calm, and wise she was now.

But ... none of that would matter to Tammy, because Claire almost certainly told her nothing in canon (as she told her nearly nothing in my story). At that point, Claire was letting herself be intimidated by her father into secrecy-for-all. Much of the blame can be laid on Noah as well.
Thank you for the kind comments! I love fleshing out backstory on characters and I had a bit of fun doing something so different.
