Hobbies:

Reptiles Tamara is obsessed with reptiles since she was small she liked to go looking for snakes and lizards though coming from England she didn't find many. They then moved to New York when she was six for her dads work before recently moving to Destiny City. This has meant she had to leave her search for reptiles behind due to not being able to find so many in a city. Her parents noticed how depressed it made her when they moved to New York and bought her Lenny who at the time was a small Iguana. She now has her own bedroom in their new house and Tamara spends most of her time perfecting the room so that Lenny has all the space she needs. Tamara is planning on somehow getting her parents to build Lenny a swimming pool of sorts in her room. It's a fight but she will find some way... after all who wants an iguana in the bath?

Piercings & Tattoos Apparently she is too young for tattoos and she shouldn't have too many piercings but that hasn't stopped her. Tamara likes the idea of tattoos and so spends a lot of time doodling her perfect tattoo, generally on her leg or arm but occasionally on paper. She has a plan for all the piercings she wants but so far she has only managed to get her ear lobes, the top of her ear and her nose pierced. Apparently she isn't allowed any more until she is at least 18. It doesn't seem overly fair to her even if her nose piercing she got she did behind her parents back...

Watching People Tamara has never been the most social of kids due to the change of country and schools and all the rest of it. It doesn't mean she doesn't like being social just at times she can't be bothered as she may not be around long and so she found a hobby. She found that she could learn a lot from watching people and found a real admiration in how some people reacted to different situations. She will happily sit in the park watching how couples talk to each other and how kids respond to their parents and vice versa. She wants to work in behaviour when she is older, with children who have had unsettled lives.


Virtues:

Good Intentions
Tamara has good intentions all the time. She won't do anything that she knows will hurt someone that she cares about. She will give out advice and listen and always try to help if there is a chance to. She might not be the person one would go to for help but if you talk to her you can see that just because she looks all 'hard' doesn't mean she is. She is a rather soft person, willing to help if she can.

Keen to Learn
Watching, listening and doing are the most common ways she learns and she loves it. School - not so much but learning about those things that will never really be useful, yep she wants to know it. How does this work, what does this do? These are all common questions for Tamara to ask, however she won't want to be told the answer she will find it out herself. She learnt about electricity in the house by taking wires apart and rewiring the house under her dads supervision of course!

Confident
Tamara is a little too confident. After being kicked out of a school in New York this seemed to be the best school for her. Her confidence has helped her develop into a person as she is never afraid to ask a question no matter how stupid it may sound and she is perfectly content with herself, how she looks and feels. This means that she won't take on criticisms about how she looks allowing herself to grow as a person and not be brought down by others.

Readable
The best thing about Tamara is that she is who you get. She doesn't bother with this two-faced pretending. She is who she is, weird looks and all. If she is being a b***h then she is being a b***h and it will be obvious, same as if she is upset or happy. She is who she is and that can make her easier to get on with. You know what to expect with Tamara.

Flaws:

Unsettled
With all the moving around Tamara is unsettled to say the least. She won't accept somewhere to be her home as the moment she even toys with the idea they will be moving on again. It wasn't a real surprise that they moved to Destiny City but will it be home? No, after all they might move again in a few months or years. It means making friends can be difficult, she won't allow herself to get close to anyone. Friends to hang out with are fine, just no close heart to heart friends and definitely no relationships!

Rebellious Streak
There are some things Tamara can't help and being rebellious is one of them. It is normally just to get back at her parents for causing her life to be unsettled but it does affect a lot of what she does. She is willing to do anything - smoke weed, take drugs, get drunk, anything that will get back at her parents. However if you talk to her about it she will just shrug it off. She is her own person and she is wanting her parents to feel guilty for her unsettled life, which is why she gets the piercings and wants the tattoos. They are a permanent reminder to her parents and they look pretty cool too.

Pushy
Though Tamara is brilliant at helping and listening if someone has issues she will push her ideas and values onto the person and they won't always be the best thing. Most of the time she will help someone if there is a real problem but if its boy problem you get Tamara's way or no way. Tamara isn't a real boy girl, she doesn't like them much and so she has her own way of dealing with friends boy problems. After all they wanted her help so they better take it right?

Argumentative
She knows a lot, not quite everything but close to it. Tamara will make sure that if you are wrong about something you know it. She will answer back and start arguments out of what seemed to be a simple conversation. Tamara will make sure that everything is how she wants it to be, you are wrong and you just have to deal with it. After all she wants to do behaviour stuff and help people when she is older, currently she is a kid and and she is right and you are wrong, it is as simple as that.

Senshi: Sailor Thalassa, Senshi of hot springs

Challenge: I feel like boiling you...

Fuku:
Her Fuku I want to leave to the colourist - let them have some fun with her smile Would just like a watery theme to it <3

Sailor Scout Attack: Warming Spring
This attack creates a small spring of hot water to appear beneath the opponents feet. The spring is like a mini fountain and not very powerful (only covering feet possibly ankles) but it is very hot and can cause minor burns.

Pros:
- It could cause minor burns
- Is an offensive attack
- Can cause ground to get slippery

Cons:
- Can only be used on one opponent
- Can only be used once every 2-3 minutes
- Isn't a very strong attack

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Burning Spring

This attack is much like the first attack but the water is hotter and there can be more then one spring. The springs are slightly stronger and come out of the ground at some speed, however the water can only reach up to the knee's of the opponent.

Pros:
- It could cause burns
- Is an offensive attack
- Can be used on a group of opponents

Cons:
- Can only be used once every 2-3 minutes
- Creates multiple spring jets that can appear underneath team mates as well as opponents


Eternal Sailor Attack: Burning Jet

This attack causes the ground to open up beneath the opponent and a large jet of water to come from underneath it. The boiling water springs up and pushes the opponent off the ground sending them flying in a random uncontrolled direction. The force and heat of the water will cause the opponent to gain burns, how much depends on how long they are in contact with the water for. Anyone around the opponent when they are hit or land could be splashed with hot water.

Pros:
- It could cause burns
- Is an offensive attack
- Can be used on a single person
- Can affect people around the person being attacked

Cons:
- Can only be used once during battle
- Spray from the jet can hit teammates
- Causes a lot of destruction
- Not completely controlled

Hrmm.. depending on how attached you are to springs/how you want your attacks to relate you could try geysers or fountains. Or you could be more specific and go with hot springs or fountainhead.

Also the beginnings are open for crits smile

Still a work in progress but she is up for crits again smile
