Tabiza Jericho Berry was born on December 31st at 11:59 PM to Sam Berry and E.E. Lersie Berry, a pair of preppers who built a bunker beneath the infamous village of Monowi, Nebraska (current population of one). Convinced that their daughter was special due to her proximity to Y2K, Tabiza's parents raised her in secret within their bunker compound. However, while considered quacks by the rest of the Berry family, Sam and E.E. Berry were, in fact, fugitives hunted by the FBI's Operation Nighttime, a black ops organization instituted by President Carter to protect America's greatest secrets. The Berrys had acquired U.S. intelligence on extraterrestrial life, and fearful for the future of the world, opted out; now with Tabiza to care for, they decided to teach her everything they knew.
From age 2 to 18, Tabiza studied over two tons of classified U.S. documents, learning about the coming invasion of the Telatheumites, an insectoid species in control of a vast interstellar empire committed entirely to conquest and consumption. Early reports revealed contact with Telatheumite scouts, all of which had been unexpectedly felled by contact with water, a known allergen for non-Earth species. Tabiza memorized these details at an alarming rate, revealing a superhuman eidetic memory and further convincing her parents that her birth was unique. By age 18, Tabiza could recite nearly all of the classified documents by memory.
In 2020, Tabiza turned her attention to communication equipment, developing an interstellar quantum communicator before her 22nd birthday. Using this device, she monitored interstellar frequencies and made contact with a rival species called the Amarathi, one of the peoples believed to have visited Scandinavia in 200 C.E. and to have formed the basis for Norse mythology. For three years, Tabiza negotiated an alliance with the Amarathi Republic; in 2029, the Amarathi arrived on Earth, installing a disguised colony in Nebraska. They would make formal contact with the U.S. government in 2042.
Unsatisfied with a singular ally, Tabiza negotiated with the Amarathi Republic for information on other species in the Orion Arm and requisitioned a ship for diplomatic duties. From 2038 to 2316, she traveled space using a combination of suspended animation and medical interference and made contact and negotiated treaties with the sluggish Dredge, the wordy Holr'athu'I, the dog-like Arfs, the cat-like Silentor, and the mysterious android collective formerly known as the Body. This alliance became known as the Collective of Mutual Interest and formed the basis of the 2386 interstellar compact which blockaded the Orion Arm from the Telatheumites. In retaliation, the Telatheumites attempted an invasion on schedule in 2395 but were repelled, in part by the combined forces of the Collective of Mutual Interest and by Tabiza's Interstellar Wave Inhibitor, a massive sound gun designed to vibrate mechanical and organic bodies until they come apart. Defeated, the Telatheumites withdrew from the Orion Arm and relinquished control of their colonies in the Central Bulge. To this date, their origin planet remains unknown.
Following her successful defense of Earth, Tabiza returned to Nebraska, where she started an emu ranch and raised a variety of large birds. One of these birds currently resides in the White House and two were gifted to Thailand and Norway but were unfortunately lost in the wild; they are sometimes caught on security footage but have otherwise evaded authorities, who remain suspicious about their genetic origins.
In 2544, Tabiza was vaporized during an experiment with a Silentor titranium mine. Her genetic material was collected by a Silentor scientist for later cloning.
