Tabitha Zinn

Tabitha Ellen Zinn (born March 27, 2003) is an American producer that is best known as the then-youngest daughter of Vote for the Girls host and former WXXC-FTV Fort Wayne news reporter and Caprice & Ella creator and executive producer Ava Zinn. She is the mother of Elian and girlfriend of Elaine Yasbecky.
==Personality==
General: Tabitha is a very kind, innocent, caring, lovable, gentle, and good-hearted character. While she has many admirable traits, some of Tabitha's weaker points are that she was addicted to opioids, not too bright, clumsy, quick to tire/give up/run away, impatient, a heavy eater, and is very nervous around boys despite always trying to gain their romantic attention. At times, Tabitha has been shown to be manipulative to work things to her advantage but quickly becomes overwhelmed by the situation or riddled with guilt and will admit to her mistakes, although it usually takes a while or until the last minute in most cases. 
Intelligence: Tabitha is shown to suffer low grades in majority of her classes from either or a combination of not paying attention, claiming the lessons are too hard, or joking around too much. She usually does her projects at the last minute and does as little work as possible when paired with a partner; even admitting to half-sister Tiffani that she will try to pair up with someone smarter than herself, so she has a chance at a better grade while doing minimal work. Because she often receives average grades, she will have to perform make-up work in an attempt to bring her grade up but often her second attempt is barely better than the first or she will resort to finding another way to do better, such as tricking Ava to write an essay for her. Her seemingly lower intelligence also shows at home and other areas as she appears to lack some levels common sense and obviousness; at one time asking Ava who would take care of her in the same manner as her parents when her parent's passed away (of which her mother, Angie, died on June 1, 2010, thinking junk food alone was the sole reason she is overweight and out of shape and not appearing to realize when some boys either want to be nothing more than friends or are using her for their own amusement.
Influential nature: Tabitha has also shown numerous times before the series that she is very easily influenced by pop culture, celebrities, events, or new people she just met and starts to follow their nature almost to a fault. Characters she has been influenced by and mimicked her behavior after including her mother Angie, paternal half-sisters Samantha and Tiffani, maternal half-sister Ashli, and many, many more. She will often shape her behavior, speech, fashion, and room after the person she imitates. Often times, Tabitha's influence from others causes problems and situations that overwhelm her, or others and she will seek help to fix things. It wasn't until Ava pointed this behavior out to Tabitha that she finally saw how she tends to follow things or people she thinks is cool but will not put careful consideration into following her latest trend/person of interest and will eventually move onto something else while calling her recent interest "lame".
==Relationships==
*Ava Zinn: Tabitha's father. Despite their many obvious differences, Tabitha has a good relationship with Ava and considers her father to be her hero and someone she hopes to be like. She was aware that Ava wishes for her to be an athlete and has participated in several sports in middle school as a means of making her father proud until one or both of them realize that Tabitha isn't cut out for the event. Tabitha is shown on several occasions to want Ava's approval and acceptance more than anything else and has done several things in order to get it. Whenever Ava voices she is proud of her daughter, Tabitha becomes incredibly happy but also shows great disappointment when the opposite occurs. Although Tabitha wishes for Ava to accept her and her ways, she appears to accept that Ava does not accept certain things Tabitha likes.Knowing that Ava is the wiser, more mature, and more responsible parent, Tabitha will often go to her first when she is dealing with a difficult situation as she trusts her father's judgement and experience above everyone else's. However, there are times when Tabitha believes her father is making the wrong call toward an event or person, especially when she thinks Ava is acting from not understanding and will actively rebel against Ava until she is shown that Ava was right and will then make amends.Towards life lessons, Tabitha will most often go to Ava for guidance but, depending on the topic, will usually get brief answers or completely stonewalled as Ava will at times change the topic due to her own discomfort or thinking Tabitha is curious about something she shouldn't be. At first, Tabitha does not understand some of her father's lessons but eventually comes to understand what her father was trying to teach her.<BR>She has been shown to favor Ava over Angie or Breeanna but often acts overprotective of her as she thinks she makes quick and thoughtless decisions."??" However, she knows that she is more honest and trustworthy than Angie and will easily believe her version of a story over Angie's.
*Angie Nieves (1978-2010): Tabitha's mother. For a brief time in 2010, Tabitha was on the receiving end of Angie's verbal lashings and alleged meth/cocine use. While Angie has always been hard on Tabitha, that hasn't stopped Tabitha from trying to earn her mother's approval and/or gratitude. Tabitha knew Angie extremely well and has openly disapproved many of Angie's behavioral traits, such as sleeping with numerous men that resulted in one other child they know of (Ashli), and many other things. 
*Breeanna Zinn: Tabitha's new stepmother. She was introduced to Tabitha after Tabitha was found. As they have many things in common, Tabitha looks forward to having the mother figure she always wanted. The only difference that they have is that Breeanna is able to trust Ava easier than Tabitha can and tried to teach Tabitha to trust others also.

==Life and career==
Zinn was born and raised in Marion, Indiana to Angie Nieves (b. 1978 d. 2010) and internet television personality/webmaster Frank Zinn (now Ava Zinn) but grew up in nearby Wabash area. When Tabitha was seven, her mother died of a heart attack. Zinn had two half-sisters, Samantha (b. 1993 d. 2020) and Tiffani (b. 1999 d. 2021, formerly Timothy) and a half-brother, Kenneth (b. 2015 d. 2018) on her father's side and Ashli Zinn (b. 1998 d. 2020) on her mother's side. Tabitha Zinn was also the paternal granddaughter of Margaret Zinn (b. 1943 d. 2002).
She previously attended her father's alma matter Mississinewa High School in Gas City for her freshman year and previously attended R. J. Baskett Middle School in Gas City, where she has attended from August 2014 until May 2017. Despite her father's move to Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2018, Tabitha was set to attend Mississinewa rather than Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana as her half-sisters Ashli and Tiffani Zinn and Tiffani's wife, Jenna, remained in Marion. However, after it was revealed that Tabitha ran away from home in 2018 having finished her freshman year of high school, Tabitha plans to attend either Homestead or Snider High School to finish her high school career.
==Disappearance and resurrection==
On July 17, 2018, police were called to Ashli Zinn's home in Marion, Indiana over reports of a disturbance. Tabitha had reportedly destroyed the inside of Ashli's home and had also been banging her head against the walls and shoved her half-brother Kenneth "Baby Kenny" Alvaraz onto the wall resulting in what would have been his death. Shortly after police arrived, Tabitha, Kenny, and Ashli were found unconscious after police stated Tabitha fashioned a noose and hanged herself in a closet with Baby Kenny. However, she faked her own death and went into hiding for nearly five years.
On March 22, 2024, Tabitha Zinn was found living outdoors in Marion, Indiana. Her half-sister Ashli and half-brother Kenny were found on June 5, 2024 in London.
