Tabitha, also known as Tab (and in some editions Tabby), is a sponsor at Dorley Hall. She is currently sponsoring Leigh. She is exclusively attracted to men, but before Levi, she had a string of relationships that ended when her boyfriends came out as a trans woman.
Tabitha is Black[ch. 20] and has naturally curly hair.[ch. 33] She is from Southampton.[1]
Tabitha was the first Dorley girl to graduate with a New Personal History that made her legally transgender.[ch. 22] From her birthdate,[LL] we can infer that she was in one of the intakes between 2005 and 2012. Though she does not think of sponsoring as a career, she has done it for long enough that she "accidentally [has] become quite senior."[ch. 34]

Notes on biographical information
- Name: The online editions call Tabitha “Tabby” pretty often, but these uses taper off by chapter 40, and the Neem Tree Press edition of Welcome to Dorley Hall replaces uses in Chapter 1–15 with her full name. Alyson has said this was an intentional decision:
I originally named her Tabby when I was just filling out a name list for the sponsors. When I started to characterise her, and especially when she started getting POVs, I decided the name didn't quite suit her, that I preferred Tabitha for her. So as the revision process for the books goes on, I'm changing that, and I've been writing new chapters with her name written out fully for a while
