Analyst

PERSONALITY:

 

Trish has always had this thing about winning. She had to win at everything, or try again, and win then. She was the best student, the best at any athletics she pursued...and she was a tomboy, her fathers' daughter, through and through. But deeper down, she is a person who wants everybody to get along...and who is willing to push the issue through her own challenges to others. People around her tend to get together, to collaborate, to cooperate...mostly to be safe from her fiercely competitive stances on... well, everything!

More privately, Trish is busy with both lifelong learning, something she picked up from her mother, and with her active interests in various human and mutant rights activities, and in international cooperation groups. She has on occasion had an active social calendar, and is often invited to affairs ranging from alcoholic rehab facility openings, to that gala world class event last year that was interrupted by Magneto.

Trish can be bright, caring, and effervescent. But she also has learned to despair of ever finding her match. She worked so hard to make herself the kind of person she wanted to be...and now, she scares all the good guys off. And the others... well, forget them.

And unfortunately, despite all of her best features, Trish does not always think things through, and can be at times petty, selfish and arrogant, particularly when it comes to her career.

GOALS:

 

Trish plans to become the lead anchor for a major network affiliate in New York, Washington, or London, and she is well on her way. Her news/feature show, in New York, has garnered her national attention, and her continued investigative journalism is gaining her the respect of her entire profession. Oh, and finding just the right guy would be nice, too...

HISTORY

Trish Tilby was born to a US Marine, and a Japanese woman in 1976, the oldest of three children. Growing up in a household with her mother, a psychiatrist who provided a strong female role model, Trish never had a problem with expressing herself. Breezing through school, letting her natural intellect carry her through the academic side, and her personality carry her through the social side, Trish was always fairly well adjusted, although she could be a tad more forcible than many of her peers.

Entering Colombia on graduation, she achieved her degrees in mass communication, pursuing a passion for journalism that had become one of her main goals. She excelled well in this area, having won several college level awards for her work. Straight after graduating however, she found that she couldn't get work straight away in television, no matter how hard she tried. Attacking things from a different angle, she began a career in radio. She managed well there for several years, before at last managing to use her contacts to at last land her a position in television.

Over the last few years, she's built up a successful career as a reporter, establishing contacts around the cities of New York and Washington.
