Tassa Brightmoor
The Doctor Who Would Not Bow
Tassa had also worn the Doctor’s coat—but hers was stained with rebellion. She had been a combat medic, then a researcher on the ethical fringe of biological experimentation. When she attempted to develop a nonlethal treatment protocol for early-stage Others without Church approval, the Church of Hope branded her a traitor. They imprisoned her, humiliated her, and almost executed her for sacrilege.
She survived only because the Syndicate needed a surgeon for their Awakened. She took the deal—freedom in exchange for service. But she never forgot the Church’s sanctimony or the Doctorate that was torn from her. Her work became more than science; it became ritual.
She believed in transformation.
She just wanted to choose who would change, and why.
