Tianna Smith’s early life was spent on a farm, a rural upbringing that shaped much of who she was. Growing up with her older brother Bobby, older sister Jessica, and two loving parents, Tianna lived a quiet and simple life, surrounded by fields of crops and the hard work that came with farm life. Her family was close-knit, and she was often found helping around the farm, learning the values of hard work and determination from her parents. But Tianna, unlike her brother Bobby, always felt drawn to the hustle and bustle of the city. She longed for the excitement and fast pace, the diversity, and the opportunities that the city offered. Her connection to the farm was strong, but her heart belonged to the urban world.

Bobby, protective as ever, never understood her fascination with the city. He believed the country was where they belonged, where they were needed. Their sibling dynamic was one of love, but also of unspoken tension. Tianna never felt fully understood by Bobby, even though they were close. He had his own views on life, and she had hers. As time went on, Tianna found herself yearning for something more than the farm could provide.

Tianna’s life took a sharp turn when she met Jamal Watts. He was different from anyone she had ever encountered—hard, angry, and yet underneath, there was a vulnerability that she could sense. They connected instantly, and soon, Tianna was swept into Jamal’s world, one where they could share their pain, their struggles, and their hope. Jamal, for the first time, found someone who saw him not as the bully but as the person he truly was. Their bond deepened as they fell in love, and Tianna became a beacon of light in Jamal’s dark world.

However, their happiness was short-lived. Tianna’s life took a tragic turn when she was shot in a brutal encounter with Will Bohmer. As she lay in the hospital, clinging to life, Jamal, desperate to save her, made a drastic decision. He injected them both with a mysterious serum he had stolen from the hospital. This action not only saved their lives but unlocked incredible powers within them both. Tianna’s ability to read minds and heal others became her greatest gift and curse. She could hear the thoughts of those around her—intimate, painful, secret—and it was overwhelming at times. But her healing powers were what kept her grounded. The ability to mend wounds, physical and emotional, became her guiding force, and she vowed to use her powers to help those who needed it most.

Tianna now fights alongside Jamal, Bobby, and Max in The Ruin, a group formed out of survival, revenge, and the desire for justice. But her past continues to haunt her, and she struggles to reconcile her rural roots with her city desires, torn between the two worlds and her place within them.
