Sentence
Originally sentenced to thirty-six months for handling stolen goods. She was then released and then remanded for setting fire to a clothes shop. Still on remand, this time for manslaughter.

Background
Real name Tina Purvis. Born into a close-knit, criminal family. Her younger sister, Maxi, was also doing time on G-Wing until she committed suicide.

Profile
For most of her life, Tina’s lack of confidence in herself saw her forced to follow her younger sister, Maxi’s star. She was always the weak link in the Peckham Boot Gang chain. Underneath the sneering and casually violent bully she was forced to portray was a vulnerable and innocent girl who just wanted to be left alone to read fashion magazines and go all gooey-eyed over fit blokes. Now free of Maxi’s evil influence, Tina’s true personality has room to grow. Just like a magpie, she’s naturally attracted to bright and pretty people and things. Although she’s dim, she’s sweet with it and will always think the best of people. Tina is very easy to please and there will never be a shortage of people lining up to take advantage of the fact.

Last Seen
Celebrating Christmas with her fellow inmates on G-Wing (s8ep11).
