Tashee is a girl who Jadie speaks of regularly in her descriptions of her abuse. It is of Tashee who Jadie speaks during her first conversation with Torey. Jadie has drawn a picture which includes Tashee as one of the people. Jadie tells Torey that Tashee was killed at the age of six. Jadie describes a ritual in which Tashee's doll was crushed, then her throat slit. Those participating in the ritual were made to drink Tashee's blood. It is possible that Tashee was an Indian child since Jadie speaks of the girl as having a pair of real Indian moccasins.
