Biography==
===Background===
At some point in her life, Tamara grew to hate all magic beings on Earth.
===During the First Curse===
Before she became engaged to Neal Cassidy (Baelfire), Tamara tracked down and murdered many magical beings. In Hong Kong, Tamara is in the waiting room of the Dragon when her turn comes to see him. When she stands up, she drops her phone, and August Booth, who's also there to see the Dragon, hands it back to her. Tamara lies and tells the Dragon that she has a malicious form of cancer, and he hands her a mystical potion. Tamara later revisits the Dragon and tells him that the substance of the potion matches no element found on Earth and she thinks that it's magic. When the Dragon begins to reveal himself before her, Tamara takes out an anti-magic device and tries to kill him. However, through mysterious means, the Dragon manages to survive.
Tamara meets Neal Cassidy while in New York and he spills coffee down her. Neal apologises and offers to get her clean clothes. The two soon begin dating and become engaged.
===After the First Curse===
Sometime after the first curse is broken by Emma Swan, Tamara and Neal continue their relationship unknown to Emma. Neal introduces Emma and Tamara while in New York. The two start to get along until Emma starts to become suspicious of Tamara, believing she is the "her" in Greg Mendell's contacts, who managed to get through the Storybrooke barrier. However, Neal doesn't believe Emma as he thinks she is just being a jealous ex since he has moved on. However, it is revealed that Tamara is indeed working with Greg and they are actually a couple who are trying to destroy magic. Tamara lies to Neal that she is going for a run when she and Greg are torturing Regina to find out what happened to Greg's father. After Tamara and Greg learn that Regina killed his father during the first curse, Neal finds out that Tamara never loved him and lied to him and began dating him as part of the plan. Tamara shoots Neal which causes him to fall through a portal to his apparent death. Shortly after this, Tamara and Greg kidnap Henry Mills and they go through another portal to Neverland. When they arrive, Tamara and Greg learn that the "office" they have been working for is in fact Peter Pan and they have been tricked. The duo go their own ways across the island to flee the Lost Boys who have been asked by Pan to kill Tamara and Greg as they are no longer needed. After Greg is killed, Tamara tells Henry to run and apologises for kidnapping him. As Henry runs off, Tamara is shot by one of the Lost Boys' arrows. Tamara is suddenly saved by Mr. Gold who has arrived in Neverland with Hook and Henry's family. Tamara thanks Gold for saving her life, but he, instead, rips Tamara's heart out her chest and crushes it as revenge for kidnapping Henry. Mr. Gold leaves to find the group as Tamara lies lifeless on the ground. Shortly after, Tinker Bell comes across Tamara's body and takes her watch off her wrist, which she spends all night cleaning.
