Character Profile: Tiger
Name: TigerAge: 12Gender: FemaleHeight/Weight: 5' @ 97 lbs.Species: CatDate of Birth: February 18Residence: A cottage on the Old Dust TrailOverview:Tiger is the eldest of the three kittens, and of the three, clearly the strongest physically. Tiger is usually the default supervisor of her other two siblings, especially when outside of the care of their mother. Despite how she may seem, she's actually quite protective of her two little sisters to the point she will stem out to any length in order to keep them in safe hands. She is otherwise revered (especially by youngest sister, Catty) for her often stubborn, tomboyish and butchy attitude, and her often short temper.Tiger appears as a blond adolescent female cat. Her fur is white on her belly, and the bottoms of her hands and feet, with a black tip of the tail, and black ears. Her nose and pads are pink, with green eyes, and a developing form and physical stature common among adolescents. Her muscles are expressed to be very well developed for her age, and compliment to her form and character well.
Her clothing consists of a sleeveless, azure zip-on top, paired with tan, mid-thigh-length shorts, and some basic sandles on her feet, though she often removes them when she feels the aren't needed. The zipper of her top is rather large, and her shorts are held up by a belt that that incorporates cargo pouches on both sides of the hip. Her attire is completed with black gloves, fingerless, and designed with wispy stripes running up the sides, and has small, elliptical pads on each digit going from the knuckle to the base of the fingers.Tiger often acts rather butchy, tomboyish, and rather rough-and-tuff to others. She's often stubborn, has a short temper, and thinks less than rationally. Her attitude and methods of thought are often put her at odds with her logically-thought younger sister, Catty. However, because she's the oldest, she also has to look after Catty and Tabby both, and as such negotiates her actions and behavior to do so. She gets along more with her sisters and mother than anyone else. She's often seen getting into constant fights with Wolfred...
History:Tiger was the first born child of her family, and the only one for around 6 years. Despite growing up without a father figure, she was raised a fine young lass by her mother. Although she wasn't fond of the idea, when Tabby came along when she was 6, she quickly adjusted and warmed up to her, such is the same with her youngest sister, Catty when Tiger was 9. Since, the sisters have bonded and gotten along, living relatively normal day-to-day lives.Out of her three sisters, Tiger was physically the strongest, being able to do even the most physically demanding task her mother had trouble with. Often when one of them had something heavy to lift, or something hard to break, she was the one they'd call. She at some point
also picked up the arts of fighting from Wolfred, and since she's been honing her skills, the two are endlessly at one another's throats in a sort of heated rivalry.However, one day, the three kittens' mother fell ill, and she couldn't care for them in her condition. She needed medicine from the pharmacist to help ail her illness, but said pharmacist did not have the medication. Desperate to save their mother, she had permitted them to venture to the nearest town the find something for her. With each sister at one another's side, they set off to find this medicine to cure their beloved mother... along the way, running into a few detours and roadblocks.
Weapon: NoneWeapon Type: N/ADiscipline: Self-TaughtBattle and Abilities:In combat, Tiger can be rather fierce and heated. Using a self-taught style of fighting, she lacks the use of a weapon, but makes up for it in sheer rapidism. Her moves are a particular emphasis of fast, powerful movements, and very rapid successions. The nimble movements of her tactics and her non-stop attacking and spitfiring lead-ups often make her quite the unforgiving foe. She often adopts a non-stop attack philosophy to her style, making her a very offensive fighter.Sometimes, she may ingest a special type of catnip from a bag of it she keeps in her pouches. This catnip will induce a psychological, and hormonal reaction that not only will modify her behavior, but also modify the way her brain processes things. It essentially speeds up her reactions and perception; despite that, things would appear to be moving slower to her mind. This makes it so that her processing improves majorly, and that certain things she may be more aware of.
However, her lack of a weapon paired with her somewhat small stature puts her at a distinct range disadvantage. Especially in the case of facing foes with weapons, her offensive reach extends only as far as her arms and legs can. Her style of emphasized attacking also makes her defenses vulnerable, and vitally more open then would be usually. Without protective gear, she is also at a disadvantage of being basically unable to defend physically against weaponry strikes and attacks, thus leaving her defenses even more vulnerable.As well, despite the enhancement that her catnip intake gives her, Tiger's mind is a little less controlled and more wild in her thought patterns and actions in this state, thus is more prone to making less stable actions and decisions in battle. As well, this rush given by the catnip doesn't actually speed her up, but rather slows how she sees everything down while her mind operates at normal pace. In turn, she doesn't move any faster, but can react and transition quicker between actions. Using this state in essence is essentially a double-edge sword, but all around, Tiger delivers a potent drive in her fight.
