From the moment Tatum was formed in the womb, she seemed to be out of luck already. Her mother, Shauna, had an affair with a powerful and dangerous man, Yian Huang, and went right back home to drink with her boyfriend. When Shauna discovered she was pregnant, she decided she wanted to keep the baby, but after Tatum was born, she was often ignored and mistreated. After Shauna’s boyfriend told her she needed to get rid of the baby or he’d leave her, Shauna put Tatum up for adoption.
At two weeks old, Tatum was adopted by a sweet couple, who desperately wanted children but couldn’t conceive. The two adored Tatum as though she were their own, and given what they knew about her life before, as well as being elated to have a child finally, they did nothing but spoil the little girl. Tatum was seldom told no, she had the best clothes, the best toys, and every hobby the girl pursued, even if it was for a moment before she quit, Elisabetta and David were supportive!
Life was beautiful for a long time, but when Elisabetta received a call that her husband was killed, she was devastated. Not only was it horrific to know her husband’s life was shortened the way it was, she was now a single mother and Tatum missed her father greatly, but life went on and she and Tatum persisted.
However, a few years later, Elisabetta met a man named Franscico, they fell in love and got married. Elisabetta felt as though it was David who brought them together, a way of telling her it was okay to move on. Tautum not only got a step father, she got a step sister too.
As Tatum got older, she took a liking to fashion and costume. She was always dressing up, had the most elaborate Halloween costumes, and obsessed over Paris fashion week. As a teenager, Tatum began cosplaying and started her very own YouTube channel where she made videos showing her process in creating her costumes. She went to plenty of conventions, and she had a huge following on Instagram. Tatum used this following to raise awareness and money for victims of crime.
Despite how young Tatum was when her father was murdered, it didn’t mean the grief or missing her father went away. Tatum graduated high school and was accepted into NYU and she knew her father would be proud of her, so she decided to live the best of her life for him.
Tatum’s been living in New York for the last several years, but when she randomly decided to do a 23 and Me, she learned she had a sister living in Aurora Bay, Mei Lian Huang. Tatum decided she wouldn’t pursue it, she wouldn’t go down that rabbit hole, but when she heard Oriana was back in Aurora Bay, she decided to make her way to California to visit her family. Perhaps all of her family.
