## The Character

### Official Character Bio

TC is not only the new face of Technilogica, but in charge of the Instagram page as a whole. She behaves online the same way she does in real life: respectful, intelligent, and calculating. TC enjoys writing and reading. She's a lesbian woman.

### Personality

During the first few chapters of iP, TC is shown to be polite and caring, but also cold, analytical, and manipulative. She often forms her sentences in such a way as to subconsciously control other characters' responses to her actions, and attempt to avoid being the villain.

Outwardly, she tries her best to be kind, considerate, and generous. But on the inside, it can be seen she's more nervous and unsure of herself, especially in the later chapters. When things go wrong, she's quick to blame herself (regardless of whether it truly is her fault) and, on multiple occasions, has lashed out when feeling hurt.

As the story progresses, her kindness becomes more genuine, and she displays true affection for Tech, in contrast to her disgust from the beginning of the novel. Even further, she lets herself enjoy activities she would normally have deemed too frivolous for her tastes.

By the end, TC is a truly sweet and loving individual. She grows warm and encouraging, and forms an incredibly close bond with her formal rival.

## Appearance

TC is 5' 4" with pale skin, and tri-shaded hair, colored blonde at the top and fading into a dark brown at the bottom. Her hair texture is shaggy, and it's pulled back with a large pale purple band. She's got large(?) shaggy bangs, and a singular swoopy strand of hair at her roots. She has dark blue eyes, and small round glasses with the frames open at the top. She wears small black star stud earrings.

She has on a pale purple bandana that matches her hairband, and a long sleeve shirt that changes colors based on her moods. Over this, she has a short-sleeve black jacket that she leaves open. She wears dark blue jeans, but her design lacks feet so it's unsure what shoes she would wear.

## Relationships

### Tech Cache

Initially, TC and Tech's relationship was exclusively hostile. However, over time, the two have grown nearly inseparable, often treating each other as family.

### Rina Tripathi

Rina is TC's recent ex-girlfriend. It's unknown what their relationship was like while they were still together, but after Rina broke up with TC, the two became awkward around each other. Rina expressed interest in TC again, but the latter declined, expressing uncertainty about speaking with Rina.

## Trivia

* TC's preferred name, similar to CK, is just her initials. But it's unknown what they stand for.
	+ It's possible her name is a reference to the name "Tech Cache" whom she was initially impersonating to gain access to Technilogica, but this is unconfirmed.
* TC is confirmed lesbian, and even had a girlfriend during the first 4 chapters. Oddly enough, however, she initially shows distaste for representing queer culture in children's media.
	+ However, her opinion on this has changed by the end of the book.
* Tech V has mentioned that, initially, TC was in fact genuinely meant to be a new Tech design. But she didn't feel quite right as a Tech, so she was turned into her own separate character with a more complex relationship with Technilogica as a whole.
