Name: Tabitha Jane St. George
Nickname: Tabi
Age: 15
Birthday: June 9th
Sign: Gemini
Gemstone: Pearl
Blood Type: O-
Fav. Food: Sushi, or just about any seafood except caviar. Too rich for her tastes...and how can you eat fish eggs?! Those could've been delicious fish later on in life! She also likes a good juicy cheeseburger with all the fixin's.
Hated Food: Artichokes look funny. But the worst thing? That 'fancy schmancy' gourmet cheese that's all old and gross and moldy. It's disgusting!
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Cake Decorating - One of a few 'Try anything once!' experiments that it turned out Tabitha enjoyed quite a bit! Her favorite medium is sugar, mostly because of how you can create something gorgeous from little teeny weeny bits. And it's so much fun to mold! The baking itself isn't exactly her deal; Tabitha prefers to be the take a blank piece of cake and mold it into something amazing. Her skills as a cake decorator are, of course, amateur at best but...she's a kid. What do you expect? The point is it's an artistic outlet and she enjoys doing it no matter the result.
Marine Biology - Something that has always interested Tabitha since childhood is marine life. Anything in the water. She herself loves to swim and see if she can find anything be it a fish, a rock, or even just a little hermit crab. Anything and everything interests her about life under the water. Her preference is ocean life since it's more abundant and diverse than whatever's in a lake. Her favorite creature is the jellyfish...it eats, digests food, reproduces with no visible organs or bones?! How?! She must know! True, she eats seafood, food made from the very things she studies, but she doesn't see it as a bad thing. Fish die, fish are a good source of protein, it's all a big food chain. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and it helps that they're delicious. Tabitha also likes to joke that if you are what you eat them she must be a fish herself!
Virtues:
Encouraging - Tabi hates to see someone down or with a frown on their face. And low self-confidence is also a big no-no to her. Even if it is just something as simple as a big, goofy grin or just a hug she will do her best to be as encouraging as possible. Everything's going to be alright! You can do it! Things may look grim now but if you're patient it will get better, things always get better, and these hard times are merely a test! Not to say she's some kind of bible-toting, verse quoting religious nut but she could probably come off that way with some of the things she says. She likes to raise people's spirits and try to make them feel better, and believes that if everyone was just a little more encouraging to one another maybe there wouldn't be so many freakin' problems in the world. This positive thinking comes as an influence from her parents; while Tabitha herself isn't very religious, and in fact probably hasn't even cracked open the bible her parents have given her to study and read, she has been influenced by that mentality. Everyone deserves forgiveness, right? No one is perfect, but they could be the best that they could be! She'll deny to high heaven (Ha. Ironic!) that she is by no means a girl of the cloth, so to speak. It isn't something she will willingly admit but...she doesn't quite believe in some kind of higher power watching over them. People have control over their own lives and destinies, but that doesn't mean that she won't try and give them a gentle nudge for the better.
Energetic - Whether it's bouncing in place or just being really damn cheerful, Tabi is a very energetic girl. She likes to play games, make jokes, make people laugh and really she just wants to have a good time. Wherever the action is? Tabi wants to be there and will do anything she possibly can to get there and join in.
Adventurous - She'll try anything once, and if she likes it she'll try it twice, and then if she really likes it she'll come back a third, fourth, fifth time or more. A party? Heck yeah! Tabi is there! A sport or activity of some kind? Sure, she'll try it! You want her to eat something strange? Sure, as long as it isn't artichokes or that disgusting cheese. She's had those once. Never. Again. But she'll never say no (Unless it's something she honestly knows she cannot do either in good conscience, because it's just wrong or she knows it's beyond her capabilities) the first time. She's big on first impressions; how something turns out the first time is how she thinks it will play out the next...most of the time. Perhaps with some serious convincing she'll try something again that she didn't really like or enjoy.
Optimistic - Everything has a silver lining. Tabitha likes to see hard times for how they will be, not how they currently are. Life is difficult! Everyone knows that! No one said it would be easy, and s**t happens. But there just has to be something good that makes everything worthwhile. Someone died? Well, now they can be forever watching over and protecting you, and they'll be waiting for you wherever they are to welcome you with open arms and hold you for eternity. You failed a test? That's okay! So did she! Guess you get to hang out together and study! Haha! Even in the most troubled times she will do her best to keep a smile on her face, try being the key word. If it has to be forced then so be it. But Tabitha won't just stand aside and let people not realize the good things in a situation no matter how small and insignificant they may be.
Flaws:
Open mouth, insert foot - While normally those of the Gemini are considered...'clever' and 'witty'...Tabi really isn't. Not for lack of trying? She likes to crack jokes whenever one comes to mind, and unfortunately she doesn't usually think them through before or while she's telling them; they kind of just happen. Albeit they may sometimes happen at less than appropriate times. So she's not really the person you go to when you want a good joke or a good pun. Not to say she doesn't have the occasional (and very rare) gem, but nine times out of ten? You're likely to hear something incredibly lame, stupid or just not funny. To make herself feel better she does almost always laugh at her own jokes (Or perhaps just her own stupidity?) even if no one else is laughing with her, pretending what she just said was comedy freakin' gold. She tries though, she tries really hard! It may be that effort that she puts in that makes her amusing, be it she's being laughed with or laughed at...if she figures out which kind of laughter it is she doesn't let on to it. Insecurity and the desire to be trusted and for everyone to be happy keeps her from doing that.
Impulsive/Reckless - Perhaps her eagerness to do just about anything presented to her might not always be a good thing. Tabitha has the nasty habit of not looking before she leaps, wanting to just put her all into something without even taking into consideration the consequences of her actions until after. This is not limited to simple things such as simply buying something she doesn't need; it applies to almost every aspect of her life. She will quite literally dive headfirst into the water, so to speak, without making sure she's on the deep end and not the shallows. To make things worse when she's like this she tends to get a wee bit cocky and very confident if she doesn't take the time to go "Oh man what I'm doing is very dangerous! And stupid!" She's even more reckless and impulsive if she isn't in the right state of mind; anger, a feeling of betrayal, sadness, just feeling incredibly hurt, all of those things are a very dangerous way for her to be feeling. She is ruled by her emotions both good and bad!
Blunt - It's been mentioned Tabi doesn't really think much. She thinks, just not about her actions. Or her words...she should work on that, huh? If something pops to Tabi's head she will most likely say it; eight times out of ten there's a very good chance that if she sees, hears, or learns something she will just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. It will be unedited, uncensored and usually shameless. Sometimes she will think she was merely thinking it in her head and won't actually realize she said it out loud until it's too late at which time she will...either apologize profusely or blush, laugh it off and call herself stupid saying everyone should just ignore what she just said or add on a "at least that's what I heard, anyway! Haha!" But she knows how she is, she's learned to deal and try not to be embarrassed about herself...as much. Her blunt tendencies aren't always nice, sometimes she can give a stinging remark that she'll claim is unintentional. In truth sometimes it really isn't an accident.
Annoying - Tabitha Jane St. George likes to talk. She likes to talk a lot. Sometimes about nothing, sometimes about something; sometimes to purposely annoy someone, sometimes she just feels the need to talk and fill the space with sound and whoa did you hear that it sounded like a person just came in do you think they're supposed to be here crap what if it's the enemy oh wait we shouldn't be saying things like that in case the wrong person hears but I don't know I mean shouldn't that door have been locked this building is supposed to be offlimits right now then again we're here so--
...She's got some lungs on her. She doesn't always understand when she is wearing on people. Her overzealous nature can be overwhelming and annoying to people. It's unfortunate that she doesn't often notice this unless it's directly pointed out to her, but by then it's usually too late to repair things as quickly as she'd like.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Green (#41C200). Nothing special about their shape, just that they always look cheerful?
Hair: Strawberry blonde. Just about shoulder length, doesn't go past the tops of her shoulders much if at all. Her hair is straight, though certainly doesn't look flat or lifeless, and she likes to keep her bangs long in the event that she feels like playing with them or on the off chance that she feels her hair needs more color just stick it in her bangs. Accessories? She don't need no stinkin' accessories. Maybe. Didn't think of any.
Face: Heart-shaped, very minimal makeup. She likes eyeliner and mascara and a bit of shiny lip gloss. But that's it.
Clothes: N/A

Senshi: Sailor Andromeda, Senshi of Jellyfish
Challenge: "This may sting a bit!" or "I'll show you spineless!"
Fuku Colour:
Main Color: White with a slight blue tint to it. Think like a jellyfish.
Secondary Color: Purple. Like a man-o-war jellyfish. (#C268D9)
Fuku:
Collar -- Artist's choice
Bow -- Chest and booty bow. Yaaay.
Bodice -- Artist's choice, I trust you guys.
Sleeves -- No sleeves!
Brooch -- Round
Bottoms -- A skirt. Artist's choice how it looks. Something...jellyfishy?
Tiara -- Something liiiike this with a lavender chalcedony instead of a big honkin' diamond.
Choker -- Choker or a necklace. Either is fine.
Shoes -- This. In whatever color works best for the ribbon.
Gloves -- White, just past wrist length. Tight fit with a loosened hem. Think like Neptune and Uranus' gloves in length.
Accessories -- Artist's choice.
Your MAIN COLOUR should dominate. Your SECOND COLOUR should be used for trimming.
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Andromeda's Sting!
Sailor Andromeda's bare fingers have about the same effect as a jellyfish's tendrils. They don't have barbs but touching exposed skin will feel like a nasty sting for as long as contact is made. Once she's no longer touching her target the pain will slowly subside with no lasting side effects. In order for her to properly use this skill she needs to remove her gloves and get within grabbing distance of the enemy, and she also needs to be able to hold onto them without being pried off or injured. Easier said than done though, eh? She's not much of an actual fighter; Andromeda's Sting is best used as an incapacitator, she holds and someone else punches so to speak. Andromeda will grab onto whatever exposed skin she can find: A finger, an arm, a leg...even the neck or the face. All she needs is something she can touch. She can do it for one minute total, but it can be broken up into various times.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Andromeda's Deadly Strike!
The method does not change; Andromeda must still first remove her gloves and then grab hold of her target, however now the pain is greater. And it spreads, it no longer only hurts in the area where contact is made, the pain covers a greater area. Again, this attack is most useful when there is a second Senshi around to attack the enemy while Andromeda is holding on. Like before the pain still lasts a brief period before slowly subsiding until it's gone completely, however if she's able to hold on for too long some...side effects may occur. The longer she holds on, the more itching and burning will occur as a rash begins to form. This rash can sometimes last for a day after the battle, though the stinging is gone with the hour. Extended contact will cause increased itching, burning, and -- in the most extreme conditions -- dizziness.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Andromeda's Venomous Pull!
Sailor Andromeda is finally able to attack from a distance! She is now capable of summoning a long ribbony tendril similar to that of a jellyfish. It can stretch out to be from 8 to 10 feet long and comes in handy when she needs to knock something out of the way, or possibly even grab and pull. It can support about as much weight as the average human girl -- Generally the same weight as Sailor Andromeda -- but any heavier and it will snap and rip in two, shriveling up like a dehydrated tentacle would and becoming completely useless. This tentacle can also be used as a whip to lash out and strike at her enemies, causing a painful stinging sensation similar to Andromeda's Strike; only in the places she hits will feel the pain...so the more strikes the better! Obviously this isn't a very useful trick for grabbing her allies, though if desperate enough she could probably attempt it...but only with the right amount of desperation. She has to make these summons count though, as she can only do them twice each battle and they're only usable for 45 seconds each time.

Hey there Eight! I'm here to give Miss Andromeda her first crit! So, here we go!
Ha ha, her last name is the same as my quest, Lottie! Uh oh!
I love that you make her cake decorating hobby realistic. She loves it, but she's still a kid and learning, so good job!
About her love of Marine Biology (which I also love) how does she feel about her fish being eaten, especially by herself?! Does she feel guilt, or does she see it as a natural progression of the food chain?
Encouraging You mention she's NOT a bible-touting kind of a girl, but does that mean she's religious or derives her feelings of "It'll be alright" from religion?
Bad Jokes Hhhmmm, while I understand what you're trying to get at with this flaw, it just doesn't sit with me perfectly. My dad tells AWFUL jokes, their punchlines are lame and off-kilter, or don't even match with the set up, that kind of stuff, but we laugh at him trying so hard. (Though sometimes he's really, really funny. He's ALSO a Gemini!!) Now, if Tabi told inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times, then I think it would work more as a flaw, but as she seems really good at cheering people up, what other time would she tell bad jokes? Though, I think this flaw would work in social situations where she is introducing herself to someone for the first time. That could translate as her being unsure of herself and resorting to her (poor) humor to make friends.
Though, I like this flaw because it's a lame trait to have. No one wants to tell bad jokes and I like that she's able to just go ahead and do that.
Impulsive/ Reckless I know the GMs have stated that 'reckless' is used too often as a flaw, but I'm going to stand up for you in defending this one. Not only does it fit with her character and her 'try everything once' virtue, you also take it to another place. She isn't JUST reckless, she acts on her emotions, especially the negative ones without thinking of the consequences, which is defined as reckless.
LOVE the hair! heart
I really like her challenge of "This may sting a bit!". Awesome.
Eeeww, there's a dead fish in that jellyfish picture. XD
I really like her attacks, very creative! They'd be perfect with Lottie! As for her final attack name, hmmm. Andromeda's Venomous Pull?
Ha ha, I wrote quite a lot, but you've done an awesome job and I can really see her as a character! She's fleshed out and you've got a lot of details. I really hope you get her so we can rp together one day! biggrin

Thanks, Aye! Haha they do? I didn't even see that! To be honest when coming up with names, since I'm awful with them, I went through my friends on facebook and took THEIR names. Haha! XD Miller's a fairly common last name, and it's not like I'm attached to it or anything.
And yeah, I kinda dislike when someone is 'omgamazing' at something...right off the bat? She's only 15, she's not going to have the same quality of work as someone who's in their 30s and has a degree in culinary arts, etc. And she does it for fun so it's all gravy...er...frosting? The fish, yeah she loves eating them. The fun thing is I decided she'd love sushi and seafood long before I figured she'd like marine biology, I think I'll see if maybe I can expand more on that.
Ooh I didn't even think to come up with where her "It'll be alright" attitude comes from. I'll have to think about that! A couple ideas are already coming to mind as I write this. Haha! XD Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
Telling bad jokes tends to be a flaw of mine as well, sometimes I tell a joke and just...people don't get it's a joke. They kinda just stare like "What? That makes no sense I don't even o__o". I'll think of more ways it could be a flaw, possibly rewrite a good portion of that section. ::rubs her chin:: Yes, I think I'll actually jot notes in my notebook during my breaks at work.
Yeah, I figure reckless is used a lot, but like you said it really fits her. She's emotional and is often ruled by those emotions, so she likes to make her brain go "Stfu and sit in the back seat for a minute". XD
Thanks! I love her hair too! I wish I could do that with my own hair, but such a thing would never be possible. D:
Yes there is a dead fish in that picture buuuuut not much I can do it has the best coloring reference! <<;;;;! I'm looking for another one to go in its place, hopefully.
Thanks! Brown Peach actually helped me come up with the basis for them. I knew I wanted to do something with stinging and something with tentacles because...jellyfish have them, so she helped me think of how to incorporate it. And I like that name! I'll put that on the list of possibilities. :O
Thank you for the crit! I worked hard on her! n.n I hope we can RP too~!

Updated a bit with the critiques in mind! Granted they were done when I'm currently half asleep, so they most likely are still subject to major change.
ONWARDS TO MORE CRITIQUE~!

I gave it a quick skim-over. I'm usually fairly fail at picking out tiny details, but I do have a couple of suggestions!
For energetic, what makes that a virtue? She has a lot of energy but how does that make her a better person vs someone that doesn't have as much? I know the last sentence reads more like a virtue, but it also sounds more like 'determined' than it does 'energetic'. Does her energy let her do things longer than other people before crashing? Does she have to constantly be doing something to spend her pent up energy? Does that make her more productive than other people?
For bad jokes, that doesn't sound like a flaw to me at all, at least not in the context of it only being about bad jokes. If you expanded that to 'foot in mouth' syndrome, where she says inappropriate things at the wrong time, I think it would make much more sense. Does she just make bad jokes, or are her jokes sometimes bad because she says them at inappropriate times?
THAT'S ALL I GOT. I WOULD LIKE SOME RP WITH YOU WHEN SHE IS HERE, I THINK TYCHE/PIPER WOULD LOVE HER. <333

That is a really good point on the energetic thing. XD Determined does seem like it fits her better than energetic.
Hmm..in my mind what made it a flaw was BECAUSE she sometimes makes them at bad times, or accidentally in bad taste. I've met people who think they're OMGFUNNY and BOAST about it (I think I'm ******** hilarious but I don't go around boasting about it like the people I'm thinking about, at least 8D) but they're just...not...and it's kind of pitiful? And embarrassing for all parties. I think I'll change the 'name' of that flaw too like the energy virtue.
THANK YOU, FEL. <33 AND I WOULD LOVE TO.
