History
Early life
Tomasyn White was the wife to John Tomasyn, governor of Roanoke. White left his wife in charge of the Roanoke Colony while he returned to England to gather supplies. When food was scarce, Mr. Cage and White's son Ambrose asked after the scarce rations, but she would hear no more of rebellion. The colonists rebelled against her and left her to die, but she was saved by Scáthach, the Witch of the Woods, and sold her soul. Later, the 116 settlers disappeared without a trace. Tomasyn, who regained control, leaded them and haunted the place surrounding Matt and Shelby's new house.
