Annabelle Kethrin



Annabelle Jade Kethrin, often referred to as Annie by her friends, is one of the main protagonists of Tom and Annabelle. She is a Human/Torran hybrid, and often associated with the color purple.

Birth and Arrival at Earth
In late 2000, a woman named Maria Kethrin was driving down a road outside of Appaloosa Plains, Colorado, when her car broke down unexpectedly. It was a few moments after this in which Maria encountered an alien woman who took her blood and seemingly implanted a strange organic device into her arm. The alien, a Torran named Verena Tozal, took the blood back to her home planet, extracted the DNA from it, and injected it into her own stomach while she was pregnant with twins. The alien twins absorbed the DNA while still in the womb and quickly became hybrid alien/human beings.

Annabelle and her twin sister Isobelle, then called A'jhanie and Izora respectively, were born on the planet Torra Sev roughly six months later, the first in a hopeful Torran/human peacekeeping initiative called called Project Hybrid. Through a special act known as the Custom of Sentimentality, A'jhanie and Izora where cloned, and the originals were sent to Earth while the clones stayed with Verena and her husband Nalrik.

On October 1st, 2001, both A'jhanie and Izora's respective ships were launched into space with the intent of landing at Maria Kethrin's home in Sunset Valley, California, with the strange organic device actually being a tracker the ship could home in on. Just when Maria was putting her son John to bed, A'jhanie's craft crashed into Earth, shattering her home's windows and creating a massive crater in her backyard. Maria found the little green toddler and quickly realized that she was alone on Earth and noticed how she interacted with John. Calling her "Annabelle", Maria took the girl into her care and moved out of the house into the home of her friends, Elliot and Mei Coen.

Eleven Years Later
Annabelle grew up in Sunset Valley, knowing that she was different than others but not knowing exactly why.

Attributes
While appearing as a Caucasian girl with blonde hair and blue eyes to most people, to people she can trust and cares about, she has green skin, black hair with purple highlights and purple eyes. Due to being an extra-terrestrial, Annabelle has improved intellect and physical abilities such as long-distance sight and agility.

The improved sight has worked against her in the past, however, as she could see a wave of meteorites headed for the town of Sunset Valley before anyone else. Annabelle blamed herself, for years, that she was unable to warn the rest of the town of the impending doom. However, sometimes the clashing of alien and human attributes results in Annabelle being unable to focus her vision, resulting in her having to wear prescription eye-glasses on occasion.
