T.J. is a black human woman that shares living space and a bed with Ian. She makes a living being a voice actress for cartoons and video games. She's also a freelance model on the side. She has a great figure and knows that she would be foolish not to flaunt it, but her real passion is voice acting. She cites several prominent female voice actors and silver screen actors alike as her inspiration, including Jennifer Hale, Zoe Saldana, Jen Taylor, Kate Mulgrew, and Jada Pinkett-Smith.
T.J. met Ian purely by accident while on her way to an audition. Ian was distracted by a protest in a public square. Neither of them were looking where they were going, and they bumped right into each other on the sidewalk. T.J. spilled her Tim Horton's coffee all over her blouse as a result, ruining it. Despite his apologies, T.J. was furious. Ian made it up to her by escorting her to her audition, waiting for it to finish (on account of her coffee stained blouse, it didn't take long), and going shopping with her to by her a completely new outfit. Impressed with his chivalry, she let him take her out to dinner, and after an evening of pleasant conversation and subtle flirting, invited him to spend the night with her in her hotel room. Ian was so enamored with her that he offered her rent-free co-habitation in his apartment, if she was interested. She moved in a week later.
Working as a voice actress does not afford her much time to settle down. Most recording studios are out of town, so she's frequently away. She loves what she does though, and living with Ian (especially rent-free) makes it a lot easier on her to make ends meet. She's still looking for her breakout role, but when and if she gets it, she sees herself living with Ian for a long time yet. The benefits of co-habitation with him are just far too... hard... to ignore.
Her personality greatly differs from Ian's. Where he is an introvert, she is outgoing and something of a party girl. Despite her wild night life, she is drug free and practices safe sex when she's on the road. When back in Calgary, she teases and flirts, but always comes home to Ian. She loves the attention, and enjoys leading guys on just to be charmed and flattered. She's a bit of a bitch like that.
While she's open to the idea of having her ass smacked while flirting with someone, boorish approaches from complete strangers often result in slaps across the face. She's not afraid to tell any guy 'No,' even if they're meatheads that could rip her in half. She knows that if things ever got out of hand, Ian's just a phone call away. Three times she's had to call him. One of those times she came away with a black eye before Ian could get there. The guy that hit her was charged with assault, but never showed up for his trial. He was found dead in his garage, killed by a gunshot to the head. Evidence on the scene ruled it a suicide. Ian knows better.
Outside of the apartment, T.J. and Ian have almost completely independent lives. Inside the apartment, they are shameless lovers. Friends with benefits.
