Tara Gregson is a wife and mother who works as a mural painter. She loves her family and often feels guilty for the unconventional life they lead due to her DID. Tara is only somewhat co-conscious with the alter-egos in her system: she has no recollection of anything they do when they are out, but they know all about what she does. Though Tara's personalities re-emerge when she chooses to go off her medication, Diablo Cody, one of the show's producers, has stated that Tara isn't being irresponsible by not taking the medication, but rather "wants a chance to try living with her condition, instead of smothering it with drugs" because it is "clear ... that she is not receiving proper treatment for her dissociative identity disorder". Collette has said that she is "excited" and "absolutely in love" with the project.
Family
Max: Max and Tara have a healthy marriage, and have been married for 17 years. Max is the level headed one, and keeps everything from falling apart. Max and Tara still have a healthy sex life. Alice and T both want to have sex with Max, but he agreed to not sleep with them. Tara seems to worry about their sex life in "Work", when Max doesn't get hard for her.
Kate: Kate is the one Tara is the most worried about. In Pilot she discovers her Morning after pills, which cause T to emerge. Tara wants the family to be able to talk about everything, which Kate opposes.
Marshall: Marshall and Tara seem to have a good relationship. Marshall's rarely in trouble, so Tara doesn't worry as much. Tara is supported of Marshall, in school and him being gay.
Charmaine: Charmaine and Tara don't get along that well. Charmaine is doubtful of Tara's DID, and thinks it's made up. Charmaine is more selfish, and thinks of Tara as her "Biggest struggle". When Charmaine's first husband makes her have the boob job, Tara stays with her in the hospital (though it's Buck the whole time) showing she cares about her sister.
