Tansy was born in the spring, in the backyard of Cris and Lilah's tiny house in Paris, delivered by her father in a bed of tansy flowers. Cris and Lilah were both teenagers who had fallen into a world of crime, which neither of them were at all equipped to deal with. They had fled to Paris to escape pursuit from unsavory types and were at the time living quietly and fearfully from day to day. Tansy was born underweight and not strong, as her mum Lilah was a drinker and smoker. Lilah went cold turkey as soon as she found out she was pregnant but she was quite far along when that happened.
Tansy was always small for her age growing up, but as she reached adulthood, things evened out to about average. As the unexpected child of two irresponsible and inherently selfish people, she carried the hope of her parents that they would be able to better themselves for her sake. They were not entirely successful in this endeavour. At a young age, she was forced to deal with a slowly dawning reality that parents sometimes lie to their children. Though Cris and Lilah certainly tried to shield the kids, the life into which they'd fallen was fraught with violence that could not be totally obscured from young, inquisitive minds. Even though Jarrett is her little brother, their roles sometimes seem reversed, as Tansy is somewhat immature and Jarrett overly mature. Tansy struggled for years to deal with the building anxiety brought on by uncertainty and stress in her life at home. She made it through her teenage years by the grace of Kobe, but turned out to be her parents' child through and through. |
