Tabitha Helstea/Synopsis

## Season 1

Tabitha joined her husband in greeting the Leywin couple after they arrived at their Manor. While conversing over a bottle of wine, Reynolds confessed to Vincent and Tabitha how they lost their son to a bandit attack on their way to Xyrus City. Tabitha was left speechless over the horrible incident and agreed with her husband to let the Leywins live with them in their home as well as appointed Reynolds as the head of security to the Helstea Auction House. During their time together, Tabitha did her best to console Alice, eventually becoming her friend, spending most of their time visiting the market.

## Season 2

Upon returning home, Tabitha and her family learned from their maid Maria that Rey's son was actually alive. Tabitha and Lilia ran after her husband as they rushed to the Leywin family, where she met Arthur for the first time. Tabitha was surprised to see how mature Arthur was and laughed when her husband questioned if Reynolds was really Arthur's father, a remark that ruffled Reynolds. Following that, the families moved to the backyard to watch Arthur and Reynolds spar. As their spar ensued, Tabitha like everyone else was amazed at seeing Arthur using Lightning Deviant Magic.

The two families later had dinner together, where Vincent brought up the fact that Arthur had a very promising future as a mage. Furthermore, he suggested to enroll Arthur into Xyrus Academy and even offered to sponsor Arthur. Reynolds and Alice were hesitant at the idea as Xyrus Academy was the most prestigious magic institution in Dicathen. Moreover, they were already indebted to the Helstea's for taking them in to begin with. Tabitha and Vincent however assured them that they would benefit from sponsoring a child like Arthur, and even had connections with the Director of Xyrus Academy, Cynthia Goodsky to ensure his enrollment. Arthur himself expressed how he would like to spend more time with his family after finally reuniting with them.

The next morning, Tabitha took her daughter Lilia and the Leywins out shopping in Xyrus City. Tabitha took the time to show Arthur the many weapon shops as well as inform him about beast cores as well as their outrageously expensive prices. The ladies then immediately took Arthur to get a new haircut and wardrobe. As the ladies and Arthur continued their shopping, Tabitha admitted she felt relief seeing Arthur acting like a normal child when he got excited seeing another weapons shop, especially after his spar with his father. Though they enjoyed their time out, they were not without issues as a nobleman named Igastus Ravenpor was shown arguing with Arthur over being in the weapons shop. Alice immediately ordered the haughty noble to take his hands off her son, while Tabitha threatened to revoke his family’s participation in the Helstea Auction House. The group left shortly after with Tabitha admitting she was more afraid of what Arthur was going to do to the noble.

Upon returning home, they were surprised to meet the Director of Xyrus Academy Cynthia Goodsky, whom Vincent had called to meet Arthur. Everyone made their way to the paved courtyard, where Tabitha and her family watched Arthur duel with Director Goodsky. As the fight ensued, Tabitha was surprised to see her son not only use earth, but also wind magic. Once the battle concluded, Arthur revealed the full extent of his affinities to his everyone, leaving Tabitha speechless. Tabitha witnessed Cynthia conjure a sound proof barrier as she conversed with Arthur, later learning from them his intentions of becoming an Adventurer before attending Xyrus Academy.

The next morning while having breakfast together, Tabitha and Vincent discuss their upcoming plans for the ten year anniversary of the Helstea Auction House. Moreover, Tabitha was annoyed at her husband and Reynolds joking around over Reynolds slacking off to throw a welcoming party later that day. Afterwards, Reynolds and Alice reveal their conditions about Arthur becoming an Adventurer. Vincent, however, questions who would be a suitable guard for someone like Arthur. When Reynolds notices how Eleanor was playing with her two forks, he gets the idea to ask someone from the Twin Horns to go with Arthur.

While out with Lilia, Alice, and Eleanor, Tabitha and Alice discussed selling the decorative centerpieces Alice had been making at the Auction House Anniversary. While Alice was hesitant to put them up as she didn’t believe they were anything special, Tabitha assured Alice that the noble ladies in fact loved her work, revealing she had taken some of her centerpieces to decorate the Auction House, embarrassing Alice. Tabitha then watched her daughter teasing Eleanor over loving Arthur more than her, making her cry. Tabitha scolded her daughter, chopping her in the head. Tabitha then accused Lilia of having a crush on Arthur, to which Lilia absolutely denied before breaking down crying, admitting she was jealous of how strong Arthur was and her feelings about not being a mage yet. Alice did her best to comfort Lilia, who voiced her feelings about not being a mage yet and her jealousy over Arthur. Alice advised her not to compare herself to Arthur as he was much different from other children, since he learned everything about mana on his own. Tabitha was left in disbelief that a child like Arthur could accomplish so much by himself, to which Alice responds that she is aware of the fact that Arthur is hiding things from them, but trusts Arthur regardless.

Upon returning home, the ladies were met by Vincent, who informed them of Arthur’s intentions of making Lilia and Eleanor mages. Tabitha was skeptical of Arthur’s intentions and questioned if he was playing a joke by getting her daughter’s hopes up. Arthur however assured her that he was serious. Tabitha watched with her husband as Arthur perform a technique that could help unlock Lilia and Eleanor’s mana core. Arthur informed them if she kept at this technique for the next few years, she would awaken her core in time to attend Xyrus Academy. Tabitha immediately hugged Arthur, thanking him for helping their daughter and apologizing for doubting him.

### The Helstea Auction House Anniversary

Two months after Arthur began helping Lilia develop her mana core, Vincent began preparations for the 10th Anniversary of the Helstea Auction House.

Arriving at Helstea Auction House, Tabitha and her daughter were taken to the VIP room along with the Leywin family, where they would meet the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Sapin. Thereupon, Tabitha spent most of her time conversing with Alice and Queen Priscilla Glayder. When the Auctioneer presented female slaves to the bidders, Tabitha did her best to look away and keep Lilia from seeing this despicable scene. Later that night, the entire building was surrounded by an intense aura that emitted a palpable bloodlust, which overwhelmed most people in the building. Tabitha quickly ran to her family to protect them, panicking over her husband nearly choking to death. When the aura suddenly vanished, Tabitha was relieved to see her husband was alright as she comforted their daughter. While everyone was tense from the previous situation, someone reported that an intruder has been apprehended by her Reynolds. As everyone assumed that the intruder was the perpetrator, who caused the intense aura, everyone relaxed upon finding out that he was arrested. The Auction continued, while various items were sold to various people.

When the Auction House anniversary concluded, the group made their way to the holding room, where Tabitha witnessed the king, Blaine Glayder turn his attention to Arthur and asked if he’d be willing to give his bond to his royal mage Sebastian. Tabitha watched as Arthur repeatedly declined Blaine's request. Suddenly, Sebastian has one of Blaine's knight's attack Arthur for insulting the royal family. In a split second, Arthur manages to dodge and defend himself against the knight as well as knock him out in one punch. Before anyone could do anything else, Arthur passed out suddenly, while the royal mage Sebastian was left with a broken leg and in a catatonic state.

Tabitha would not see Arthur again until the next day when he and Reynolds came to the Auction House to select the sword he never got. She and Vincent were infuriated at the actions of the knight who attacked Arthur and was even more angry at the lenient punishment he was given, but was happy to see Arthur was safe. After searching for sometime, Arthur returned to them with a short sword that was passed over in multiple smaller auctions.

Not long after, Arthur celebrated his ninth birthday with his family, the Helstea's, and the Twin Horns. While everyone enjoyed the small feast that was prepared, Vincent presented Arthur his and Tabitha’s gift, though did so in a proposal gesture, which Tabitha found annoying as she slapped her husband. The Helstea’s gifted Arthur and Alice two rings so that Alice will know if Arthur’s mana drops to a dangerously low level. Alice embraced Tabitha, thanking them for the gift. With the party concluded, Vincent bid everyone goodnight before saying goodbye to Arthur.

## Season 3

Tabitha watched as Arthur returned home from the Beast Glades, along with her husband and Arthur's friend Elijah Knight. When Vincent interrupted their reunion, Tabitha smacked Vincent while scolding him. When Arthur noticed Lilia was not present, Tabitha tried to tell Arthur but was interrupted by Vincent who excitedly jumped up from his chair as he announced that Lilia had started attending Xyrus Academy last fall. Tabitha then pulled her husband's hair as she wanted to tell Arthur about Lily. Vincent and Tabitha once again express their gratitude towards Arthur for helping Lilia and proclaim they were forever in his debt, to which Arthur states he might have a favor in mind. As Arthur and Elijah recounted their venture into the Dire Tombs, as well as the fact that they fought and killed an Elderwood Guardian. Tabitha was especially surprised that an Elderwood Guardian even existed as it was only told to her by her parents in stories growing up. Tabitha was further surprised that Arthur declared he was at the Light-Orange stage, smacking her husband out of shock.

Sometime later, Tabitha learned that a public announcement was to be held by not only the royal family of Sapin, but Elenoir and Darv as well, that was to be broadcasted live from Etisin City. On the day of the announcement, Tabitha and Vincent were present with the Leywin family in the town square where together they witnessed the broadcast where the royal families revealed their discovery of another continent. The royal families then explained how they needed to unify now more than ever and in their attempt to do so they have spent the last few years solidifying their unification with the interracial tournament, the ban on Dwarfs and Elves becoming Adventurers lifted, and Xyrus Academy now accepting children of all three kingdoms. The royal families then presented six individual warriors who would act as representatives of their kingdoms and their defenders dubbed the Lances.

Tabitha was present for Eleanor's birthday party having organized the surprise party with her husband, by hiring mages as entertainment as well as an orchestra. Tabitha later watched as Eleanor opened her gifts. Some time later, Tabitha was present as Elijah and Arthur received their uniforms for Xyrus Academy.
