Most of her life she’s been a tool of her father’s to get back at her mother for every slight he could imagine. He was also very careful to keep arguments out of Tabitha’s hearing so he wouldn’t appear as the “bad guy.” This led to truancy, and eventually more serious situations as her mutation manifested and her father saw ways to use it in his criminal life. It’s during an attempted bank robbery, wherein her father wants her to blow a vault lock, that everything shatters. When the worlds are sewn back together, everything starts going wrong, and her father and his team abandon Tabitha. She makes it out of the bank and onto the street before the police show up, but is still arrested and returned to her mother. Mandy pulls in every favor and a compassionate lawyer and cuts a deal with the court system to sends Tabitha to Xavier’s.
===Childhood===
 
  
Tabitha Smith was born to Marty Louis Smith and Mandy Smith, in Roanoke, Virginia on January 23rd, 1982. Her parents divorced and her father later married Wanda Jo Bialowsky.
+
=== '''Living At The X-Mansion''' ===
  
Tabitha loved her mother with all the enthusiasm and selective blindness an eleven-year-old can have.  She idealized their relationship, purposely forgetting that the blind-folded driving adventure and others like it could have easily gotten them both killed. Her father filed for sole custody under pressure from his own parents and her mom never contested his claim.  Since Tabitha never saw the inside of the court room, she saw her father taking her away to spite her mother. When he remarried so quickly after her mother's death, she saw her young step-mother as an interloper.  Wanda wanted a family of her own, not a bratty little step-daughter. All around, nobody was happy with anybody else.  
+
Tabitha was mostly sullen upon her arrival, not really caring much about integrating into mansion life. She was somewhat friendly with the other Gen Xers, and prided herself in playing jokes and pulling pranks on her fellow students, but for the most part she lived a relatively quiet life. Her first encounter with conflict wasn't a pleasant one - in July 2015 she was on a field trip with a few other students and witnessed the police beating a mutant for no reason. The event, along with the uselessness she felt, shook her up bad.
  
She never really got along with her parents, so when her powers began to manifest the fighting finally came to a head. In retaliation for the latest bout of name-calling, Tabitha put a miniature time-bomb in her father's lasagna.  In retaliation, he beat her severely.  She ran away that night, ending up in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  She kept to the periphery of the local gangs, avoiding attention and living off of what was left in vacation homes and what she could get from picking pockets.
+
She managed to move on from it, however, throwing herself into being a general nuisance to her fellow students - starting with pranking Miles and Bobby, and leading to a small war. She bonded with newcomer [[Alison Blaire]] and sort of latched onto her as shadow, at one point forgetting that Alison had an alias she used outside of the mansion (she was reminded of it quickly). But all and all, her first year at the mansion wasn't completely horrible.
She was picked up by the police after setting off a home alarm in a condo. She's not quite sure how it happened, but she ended up at Xavier's.
 
  
=== '''The Team''' ===
+
==='''2016-Leaving'''===
 +
In February 2016, she found herself falling victim to the mansion's propensity for magical trouble when she and a couple other kids were [[Something Slender This Way Comes | kidnapped to another dimension]]. It was far from a fun adventure, though Tabitha got out without too much damage done. With the departure of Alison's roommate, Tabitha jumped on the chance to move in with per precious Allie. Which was pretty cool.
  
Tabitha, calling herself Meltdown, was an asset to the X-Men in the early years, where the skills she acquired in her "misspent youth" occasionally proved useful on a mission. She also showed a keen skill for research, both online and off. In early 2004, for reasons not yet made public, Tabitha left the mansion for California. While not official staff at the [[West Coast Annex]], she has been known to stop by on occasion.
+
Among other cool things: [[Alex Summers]] gave her a skateboard for her birthday and she broke it in by riding down the mansion hallways. And she also decided it was time to ditch the pink hair and go back to blonde. Not a bad year all around.
 +
 
 +
After a quiet 2017, Tabitha's mother called her home to help with her sick grandmother.

Tabitha creates "time bombs", small spheres of plasma that remain stable until she explodes them. The approximate damage is based on the size of the bomb - spheres the size of a marble explode like a small firecracker, while larger ones are capable of significant destruction.
+
Tabitha can psionically create pure orbs of plasma, fiery-like energy which often takes the form of yellow and orange spheres which range in size from a marble to a large beach ball. If all goes well, she can detonate her spheres within a 2-10 second time period after creating them giving them the name "time bombs". These "time bombs" explode with concussive force but the amount of concussive impact depends on the size of the bomb she creates from palm sized ones creating small pops to larger ones generating massive explosions. She can also reabsorb her time bombs if need be. She has very little control over the specifics of these bombs, often causing a much different level of damage than she’d intended.
  
Tabitha's one crutch to her power is her need to count out loud before detonating her 'time bombs'. Through training, it is hypothesized that she will be able to overcome this difficulty.  She has learned how to reabsorb her bombs.
