Civilian life
Her parents divorced when she was eleven, which was a lot for her. They nearly remarried which caused Taylor to have a "will they won't they" feeling about their partnership.

When Taylor was young, a villain convinced her to give them a power. She didn't know this super was a villain, this lead to Taylor indirectly killing at least thirty people.

Freshman year, a senior boy manipulated her to make her do all of his homework for her.

Hero/Villain Life
While Taylor herself isn't a hero or a villain, she has at least one power.

Power
She did have a villain side when Dr. Hunter injected her J1237-version B, her name was Tiffany named after the jewelry store. She liked shiny things and had the power of teleportation, but she faded after two weeks due to not being genetically mutated at birth.
 * Giving the powers of another super for 24 hours
 * Mild healing

Story so far
Taylor moved back to Redview after spending a year in Paris. Very soon after moving back she started to investigate the supers of Redview. She was confronted by Alexander Conrad, he pickpocketed her wallet. She lets him join, and very soon after Conrad had an outburst. Conrad explained himself on the bridge and she accepted him being Jekyll, knowing what it feels like to be used. She immediately started to work on a cure for Conrad, Conrad not knowing this.

After failing to get anywhere, Eden Chriswell joins the investigation team as their tech person. Due to Hacker's message, TEA (the acronym for the investigation team) started to investigate the tech villain. Eden was found out to be Hacker. This caused a large split in TEA, she felt like Conrad was siding with Eden.

This is when she met Malekai Dawson, who joined the Rocket Club as their artist.

Conrad and Taylor reconnected, but with no leads, she goes to Dr. Hunter. She got stuck with a needle containing the same serum that turned Conrad into Jekyll. This side was dubbed Tiffany (see above in Hero/Villian life). She called Conrad over and Conrad went after Dr. Hunter. She came along against his advice. It was a good thing she came though, making Conrad stuff his sleeves prevented Dr. Hunter from stabbing Conrad with a needle the second time. She also secretly recorded Dr. Hunter basically saying he'd stop at nothing to infect as many people as it took to perfect a super. She also stole Dr. Hunter's notes.

Part of the school got burned down due to Tiffany and Jekyll teaming up in the middle of the school day and they framed Phoenix.

Soon after arresting Dr. Hunter, Tiffany starts to fade, and things aren't adding up when she manages to hack into Dr. Hunter's computer. She goes to the geneticist to get answers. This is where she finds out about Dr. Hunter's relation to Conrad as his biological father. The geneticist also reveals that Conrad is genetically modified and that he orchestrated the death of Conrad's parents. She tells this to Conrad and lets him stay over.

After Conrad moves to the lab, Taylor and Conrad get into a fight after she sees him talking to Kim after an SGA meeting. They both go home angry but she is given a call later that day that Conrad has gone into a coma, likely because his genetics are catching up to him. Taylor gets Malekai to talk to him in an attempt to find out what's wrong but Conrad flatlines. Taylor orders Malekai to watch Conrad and make sure he stays alive while Taylor creates an injection from some of Dr. Hunter's old notes. It is later revealed that Dr. Hunter planned to give Conrad a series of about 10 injections that would strengthen Conrad and give Jekyll complete control. Taylor gave him the 3rd which saved his life.

After Conrad wakes up Taylor goes back to the SGA and due to Kim's disappearance and has to finish planning the valentine's day dance in two days. Jade and Stephanie "help" her in this. The dance isn't as good as she hoped it would be and attendance is low. But Malekai and August show up late and they have an after-party. After this, Conrad was supposed to take her home but instead, they go to a hillside where Conrad had set up a picnic for them to watch the stars and he asks her to be his girlfriend. She accepts, however, Lazarus turned out to be watching them and kidnaps Taylor out of jealousy. Lazarus gives Conrad 24 hours to meet him at "their spot" or else he'd hurt Taylor. Conrad is one minute late and Lazarus attacks Taylor. Taylor blacks out but is awoken by Phoenix who says that she needs to give Conrad snow powers for him to beat Lazarus. She reluctantly does so. Due to her not using her powers for years, when she does this a secondary power that she's had all along reveals itself: healing. Conrad defeats Lazarus but faints afterward and Taylor heals both of their injuries.

A few weeks pass and Taylor and Conrad are happy. He even tells her he loves her, but Taylor is unable to say it back to him. However, Taylor's been having nightmares about what happened with Lazarus and has recurring feelings of being useless. One night Jekyll confronts her about how she locked Tiffany away and won't let her back out again. This sparks the idea in Taylor that she may be able to adjust the serum and use Tiffany for good and be able to protect Conrad. However, she miscalculated in designing the new serum, and instead of giving Taylor more control, the serum gave Tiffany more control. After injecting herself to test it, Tiffany takes over and is extremely angry over being locked away for several months. So, Tiffany, who also knows how to make the serum, continually injects herself with the serum in order to keep Taylor at bay. She is currently working with Jekyll to fully take over both Taylor and Conrad's bodies and is posing as Taylor in school.

Relationships

 * Kimberly Simmons -Thorn in Taylor's side, she's pissed that she triggered Conrad enough to bring out Jekyll and Kim does this thing where she tries to bring out everyone's feelings and that's a big no no for Taylor. She recently joined the SGA and most of the meetings have turned into Kim v. Taylor
 * Alexander Conrad - As of recently, her boyfriend.
 * Jessica Jacobs - They're cousins, Taylor would die for her.
 * Malekai Dawson - He approached her to help her with drawing rocket designs. They're pretty close and he was at her sleepover. She only sees him as a friend though.
 * Eden Chriswell - Still mad, they haven't spoken in weeks.
 * Richard Reynolds - Taylor's retired race car driver dad, he owns a garage in Redview now. He's a sweetheart but a little bit irresponsible and Taylor knows it, so she picks up some of the slack. She loves him with all her heart.
 * Karen Davis - Taylor's mother. She's a nurse at Redview's local hospital and she's very particular about what she wants for Taylor's future. She expects her to get perfect grades and become a docter even though Taylor prefers rocket science. In theory, Taylor is supposed to spend 50% of her time with her mother and 50% of her time with her father, but it's really more 90% with her father and 10% with her mother kind of split.
 * Skyler Madison - Taylor thinks she's nice, a little dull, but nice
 * Maeve - A cheerleader on the team, no issues
 * Ashlyn Grey - Malekai's friend, no issues
 * Vichar - A little creepy but a sweetheart
 * Emery Penhallow - He was cute, impressive that he turned himself in
