## Character

### Personality

If Tara Glimmer were reduced to a single word, it would be "shy", which is due to being a boogeyman and living in the shadows. She appreciates sitting alone in dusty corners or being surrounded by shadows, and will almost always try to escape any situation she finds intimidating. Reserved and quiet, Tara Glimmer really dislikes being the center of attention. Luckily for her, her powers are an amazing asset for solitude.

Tara's shyness does not, however, mean she is unable to appreciate positive attention or enjoy a good laugh. It simply means her standards for feeling comfortable are higher than the average person's. Tara is very comfortable in her own skin and embraces her freaky flaws, as well as everyone else's. At times, this means she's one of the few who can judge a situation level-headed. At others, this just leaves her feeling estranged from her fellow students.

Fair and down-to-earth, Tara is almost always about serious talking, but is also very sarcastic and is the one in the group to be most likely to drop dry of dark humor, since she too is playful, in a strange stoic way.

However, she is extremely selfless and kind, to the point where one of her regular days involves undoing her father's doings of giving sleeping children nightmares by feeding on the negative energy projected by these, removing the nightmares from their dreams. To top it off, Tara will do this to children in most need too, such as kids in foster homes.

In her *13 Wishes* diary, Tara Glimmer refers to herself as "bad" and "terrible". It's unclear what brought her to this conclusion, as they don't appear to be solely caused by immediate events. Despite being shy, she can sometimes be friendly if she wants to be, such as towards Tawnya, or greeting Judy and being kind to her when believing her to be a "new girl" due to Tawnya's "nobody wish" in the TV special movie, *13 Wishes*.

### Appearance

Tara has light purple-blue skin with grey hands and lower arms. Grey-colored patterns, invoking shadows, swirl up from her ankles to the middle of her lower legs. Her hair is pastel green with blue and purple stripes which reaches to her hips, and her eyes are purple-pink yet glow green in the dark.

Her clothes are picked to show her off as a little lady, as she wears a loose 3/4 dark blue sleeved shirt with a black spider print. The shirt has a medium sized black bow in the middle. A small layered skirt covers some of her legs. Her boots are navy blue with heels that look like robots. Her fashion colors are pastel green, dark blue, and black. The themes incorporated in her killer style are dust, locks and keys, smoke, shadows, bugs, and dream catchers.

## Relationships

### Family

Tara's father is the Stanley Glimmer. Little is known about their relationship other than it's similar to a regular father-daughter relationship, however it is implied that she does have a strait relationship with him, as she is very displeased by his nightmare inducing traditions, and therefore settles to undo them. It is unknown how her father feels about it or if he even knows.

so far has been made about her deceased mother and when she as a kid.

### Friends

Tara's best friends are Tawnya Finster and Zee Kazaam. Tawnya was the first student at Enchatria High who caught her off-guard, because Tara thought she was invisible in the shadows, but as a werewolf, Tawnya could smell her presence. Tara chose not to flee that time and so befriended Tawnya. Since then the two have been the closest of friends, and are almost inseparable.

Tara has also grown closer to the other Wolf children through Tawnya, notably Rachel, Clyde, and Rhenas. Even though the Wolfs are the complete opposite of Tara in terms of spotlight needs, Tara feels welcome among them.

She is also quite close to Julia Grant, the genie, who she helped with her issues regarding her rebellious shadow Willow "Whisp" Grant, and who has always been there for her. Julia is a great friend of Tawnya, who brought the two together. In fact, Tara's shyness means that most of her relationships are induced by her best friend.

However, Tara has worked hard to make her own friendships and has become quite tight with some of the students at Enchatria High, like Billy Montana, who shares her interests and power to turn invisible, being co-founders of the Disappearing Club, or Katy Noir, who is also part of said club. She also has a sweet friendship with Julie Grande who she really likes.

Her friendship with Zee Kazaam has so far only been brought up in her profile and is not explained. An estimated basis for their friendship is that since they are both reclusive, if for differing reasons, Tara finds a kindred spirit in Zee.

Finally, her most recent friendship is handed to Isabelle Dawndancer, an exchange student from New Mexico. The two met in New Mexico, when the latter failed a shadow jumping exercise of long distance. The two quickly become friends, as Tara helps Isabelle out with her mysterious dreams.Template:Source The two were drawn back together when Isabelle traveled to study at Enchatria, California and since then the two have been really close. Though not as close to her as Tawnya, Isabelle is definitely one of Tara's best friends. The two love each other's company and share deep relationships with the psychic world, with one being a dream collector and the other being a monster with visions and premonitions. Their relationship is explored in "Wendy Wonders and the New Girl at School".

### Pet

Tara has a mouse named Rusty for a pet. He was blown her way by the wind one day, so she rescued and kept him. Due to his vulnerability to air currents, Dustin doesn't go outside often anymore and always eagerly welcomes Tara home when she comes back from school. He does not get along with Wally, as Rusty got Wally’s crate dirty.

### Romance

Tara has the same taste in boys as Tawnya, but isn't interested in anyone at the moment.
