Name: Tasha Nixon
Journal: [personal profile] getyourmotorrunning
Occupation and/or college major: Therapist specializing in severe eating disorders

Significant character connections: Sister of Trent Nixon, Kurt Hummel's outpatient therapist, knows the ex-Warblers through Trent

Outline of character bio and backstory as their life played out from that moment on:
Trent's battles with his eating disorder definitely stuck with Tasha, and she was forever grateful for the great counselors who made all the difference in his recovery process. After graduation, she went to work at a garage, following her lifelong dream of being a mechanic, and everything seemed much better, until Trent fell ill with leukemia. The knowledge that her brother was so sick was devastating to Tasha, and even when Trent got better, she never stopped believing that, had he been able to get treatment for his eating disorder sooner, his body would never have fallen prey to something as awful as chemo, and she was inspired to train for a new job where she could help prevent other people from the same suffering that she'd watched her brother go through.

So instead of continuing on in what she thought was her dream career, Tasha found a new dream, attending the University of North Carolina. She scored her job by a freak accident of technology, having been looking for jobs in Tennessee, near Trent. Somehow she'd been linked to a clinic in Miami with outpatient connections to an intensive therapy center, and despite plans to move near Trent, she applied for the job anyway, and it turned out to be the best offer she got. She took the job and fell in love with it to the point that she begged Trent to move down to Miami when he graduated -- not that she really needed to. It was already his plan.

Tasha's love for all things with engines never quiet went away, and she owns a 1968 Camaro that is her pride and joy, and does all the work on it herself. But despite her closeness to her brother, her busy job, and her car hobby, there's something missing. Trent says she needs to find herself a man, though Tasha insists very much the same could be said of him.
