## Plot-

First appearance: Swing Shift, Ch 1

To the surprise of Gus, she is a sorceress although one lacking a mentor. She proves to be the key they need to understand what is happening to the Masks, and is even able to counteract it.
Despite being rather averse to fighting, Trish will do so if the circumstances demand it, and she has a potent fire attack which is more than capable of ending a fight.
It is revealed later in the book that Trish has been secretly plotting to get Gus in her bed, and is willing to contract with Melody if that's what is required.
Very little of Trish's background is revealed, but she mentions her sister, and how she isn't from St Anthony and where she's from is a good deal more brutal. Because of this differeing background she suggests killing everyone in the stadium to preserve the secrecy of the Para world.
After Gus is injured, Trish uses her Dryad magic to reconnect Gus' spine.
Gus fear-scents Trish, and she smells like blueberries.

Trish accepted a position with the Fed along with Gus, Melody, and Vanessa. The transition from cleaning lady to Federal law enforcement agent was quite disconcerting, but she found herself well suited to keeping the team's budget after her many years of poverty.
Trish accompanied Gus to the Para Prison to interview the incarcerated members of the St Anthony coven. She was the lead interviewer while Gus read their minds.
A good deal of Trish's downtime is spent studying her Academy courseware.
With the drug ring investigation Trish is part of the team that deploys to the Sandbox, and was part of the Maine shipyard team. Because of her natural charms Trish took the lead in dealing with the staff there. She returned back to the main office after Gus goes solo to recover Janelle.
Trish demonstrated her Dryad nature by managing to become motion sick on a ship tied up to a dock.
Trish recognized Leanne of CCMI as Lilian Lux, and Kat as Kit Carrington. She revealed that she is the Meliae's sister and arrived in this world about 5 years before Kit and Lily.

She is included in the impromptu Campbell family reunion during the meeting at CCMI to being the search for Retribution.
Trish accompanies Gus when he goes to Coolie to search for the Council's facility. Her looks lead to the Deputy Jay-R to illegally detain her and Vanessa. This proves to be a terminally bad career move as Gus eliminates him during his interrogation of Trish.
This incident leads to the team to withdraw from Coolie and camp out in woods outside of town. Vanessa departs to join Melody's team, leaving just Trish and Gus at Coolie.
Trish remains at the camp site outside of Coolie while Gus is investigating, the Council facility and is attacked by Hailey. Hailey's mind had been warped by someone with mental powers which made her fixate on her need to kill his wives and make him love her. This unfortunately leads to Gus killing Hailey when he decides there is no way to fix her mind. Trish is critically injured by Hailey, and it is only Jill's intervention that allows her to survive.
