Reputation

Tamara has been a presence in the Safe Zone since June 2015, minus some trips away. During that time, she has established herself as something of an advisor of last resort for difficult problems, one that is more a rumor on the community grapevine than anything. The first trick, though, is catching up with her to ask — and the second is making sense of her answer. There are two rules of thumb when doing business with the sybil: 1) the only price is the value of your question to you… and how clear an answer you want to receive; and 2) if you try three times but don't find her, she's not going to answer your question anyway — or you're asking the wrong one.

Physical Marks

• Tattoo below left collarbone: red butterfly on blue background. Colette sports its blue-on-red partner in the same location.
• Three scars from bullet grazes: left shoulder, right bicep, left thigh.
• Short, straight scar on left ribs from a stab wound.

Significant Possessions

• Puzzle Ring - A 2009 Christmas gift from Colette. Tamara has the one with the stone, and wears it on her left hand.
• Blue Drop Necklace - A birthday gift from Judah, consistently worn as of December 2011.
• Misty - A cream-coated, mute dog of unknown (spitz-type) breed, adopted as a puppy in 2010.

Residence

Overview

Located at 64 S. 4th Street in the Williamsburg neighborhood, this turn-of-the-century townhouse was awarded by lot to Tamara in September 2015 and is also home to Tasha and Colette. The entrance is technically on the second floor, leading directly into the kitchen and dining room, with the living room at back looking out upon the garden. The upper two floors are given over to Tasha's living space and office, while the ground floor is occupied by Tamara. As of early 2018, the basement has been set up as a darkroom.

Main Floor

The first thing seen upon entering are the stairs on the left, a small nook at the front windows just to the right of the door, and a long continuous stretch of space that runs the length of the house, all of it floored with hardwood.

The nearest part of the room is the kitchen, defined by a central island with sink and an abundance of counter space. On one side is a white wall with tiles up half its height, top and bottom edging rows in midnight blue; against it lie white stove, white refrigerator, and low cabinets also painted white with midnight blue handles. The opposite wall is an expanse of bare brick half-hidden behind a large bank of cabinets and shelves that provides storage space. The cabinets, shelves, and countertops both on the island and bracketing the stove all feature wood of a natural light brown hue.

Immediately beyond is the dining area. Here one wall is again unfinished brick, on the opposite side as in the kitchen; the other is painted white. In the middle is an unusual octagonal table with a dark, wood-patterned formica surface, clearly dated by several decades; the chairs around it are eclectic, two aluminum patio chairs pretending to be cast iron and two wooden chairs that probably used to be part of a larger matched set. They all have matching blue-and-white cushions, at least.

At the very back of the space is the living room, elevated two steps above the rest of the floor. A lightweight rattan-wicker couch with green cushions lines one wall, with endtables on either side and a heavy walnut coffee table in front of it; two chairs face the opposite side of the table, and a set of shelves rests against the wall behind them. There are bright ceiling lights to illumine the space, but more often a dimmer endtable lamp is used. The entire rear wall consists of five floor-to-ceiling windows, providing an excellent view of the garden and patio beyond; the rightmost doubles as a door, opening onto stairs that lead into the garden.
