by Guest 12th November 2016, 7:45 pmName: Tyra Gassion
Gender: Female
Age: Nineteen
Birthday: 06/14 (June Fourteenth)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Special Characteristics: The most notable marking that Tyra possesses is the deep, dark scar covering the Majority of her throat. The fact of the matter is that this scar is the reason why she is physically incapable of speaking without the use of magic of some kind. The scar crossing her neck seems to be made from an initial slice across the neck that was very deep, followed by three deep lines cut after the fact, to try and expedite her death. However, it is not the only marking on Tyra's body.
If one looks closely enough at her left index finger, they can see a small, one inch long scar on the top of the finger, aligned mostly to the right. When asked, she usually says that it was caused by her own stupidity, most often by a piece of glass getting stuck in her finger. And, there is some truth in that. Honestly, she doesn't remember how she got it, only that it's there.
Personality: At first glance, Tyra seems like a very kind and supportive individual, listening intently whenever someone deigns to speak to her, most often taking any advice given to heart. Of course, first glances rarely give all the information one needs. The same can be said of Tyra. While yes, she is kind and supportive, she very much has the capacity to make hotheaded, even rash decisions, seemingly going against her own tendencies to be composed and collected. Yet, even among these things, she is very under-confident, being very pessimistic over her own abilities and how useful they are. This tends to couple with her own insecurities-most of which revolve around her own appearance, usually focused on the scars on her neck. This lack of confidence has also resulted in this once chipper, cheery girl to become very bleak and almost pessimistic about things. She is also immensely stubborn, making her mind very hard to change once it is made up. And yet, this is only how she acts when she is on her own, in casual company.
In combat, there is a different story to be told altogether. She is seemingly very calculating, taking as few risks as possible. It is one of the few times where she puts aside her stubborn nature, to avoid putting others in danger. She is very receptive to orders while fighting with others, executing them with as much precision as she can muster. However, as a leader, she is assumed to be an immense failure, due to her own physical incapability of speaking. This can be somewhat mitigated by the use of her magic to communicate via telepathy, but thus far she can only manage to give the orders to one person at a time. And yet, when this handicap can be bypassed, she can be a very effective leader, taking her time to figure out what the best course of action is when able. But, that doesn't mean she can't make the snap decisions most people expect out of leaders during combat. She is just a bit slower as she tends to think things out rather than just act on impulse when she will be putting others in danger, instead of just herself.
However, the Tyra that has just been described is generally considered the "normal" Tyra. There are subjects that will immediately make her personality change. Talk of how her scars were earned, or talk of the man that gave her those scars. When these two subjects are brought up, she goes through seeming flips of her personality. Talking to her about her scars will cause her to retreat inwards, becoming much quieter, using fewer words, and being more careful with the words chosen. In fact, she can barely talk to anyone about her scars, as usually the remembrance of the day she earned them is a deep, dark topic for her, one that will almost always end in tears. However, the inverse can be said about speaking to her about the man who gave her the scars on her neck. She still retains her calm, collected nature. And yet, she is seemingly at her most violent, all of her "words" being punctuated with obvious levels of rage and hatred. She becomes filled with rather explosive levels of anger, snapping easily at anyone who says something stupid or just directly contradicts her own morals. Other than these situations however, Tyra is generally a rather nice girl.

General Appearance
Height: 5'9 and 1/2
Weight: 132 lbs
Hair: Tyra's hair color isn't easy to describe, as it tends to change color quite noticably based on the light level. In bright lights, one could call her hair almost purple in coloration. In low lights, one could be forgiven for thinking she had black hair. In moderate levels of light however, it seems to take on some middle ground between the two. As for how it is styled, it seems to just generally be kept messy, with no real style to it. This would usually take a while to achieve, but Tyra's hair seems to just..fall into place naturally.
Eyes: Dark Purple, edging close to black.
Skin Tone: Very Pale
Appearance: A rather attractive young lady, Tyra is a modestly proportioned young girl with pale skin, short, messy purple hair, deep, dark colored eyes, and a seeming affinity for keeping herself as covered as possible. She seems normal at first glance..until her scars are seen. In a much darker color than the rest of her skin, she has a series of scars running across and up and down her throat. They seemingly were made shortly after each other, with the first being a scar made from her throat being slit open. The next ones are three vertical lines running across that initial slit, having healed into diamond shapes. Other than this, she is rather normal, wearing long sleeves, dark colors, skirts and occasionally jeans. Her appearance doesn't seem to betray all that much about her.

Likes:
- Strawberries: Tyra's Favorite Fruit. She personally can't really describe what makes her like them so much, but something about the strawberry other than its taste just draws her to them.
- Autumn: Tyra's Favorite Season. The fall is a season in which she can cover up without many weird looks, allowing her to temporarily feel normal by covering her scars up with scarves and whatnot. Other than that though, she enjoys a bit of a chill to the weather.
- Music: While she can't sing anymore, Tyra used to be a very avid singer, loving music more than any other hobby. She still enjoys music however, relaxing rather noticeably whenever she can be near-or even better-surrounded by it.
- Drawing: While she isn't anywhere near a professional level of artistic quality, Tyra is decent at drawing and other artistic pursuits, practicing whenever she gets the chance.
Dislikes:
- Violence: While she accepts that some level of Violence will always be present in the world, Tyra herself can definitely be said to dislike it, trying her best to avoid it. That doesn't mean that she cannot defend herself however, as she is still rather good with a blade-something which she picked up while wandering the world.
- Bitter Foods: A rather nit picky dislike of Tyras, she goes out of her way to avoid foods that are bitter and unable to be sweetened or otherwise flavored. One such example of this is beans.
- Spiders: Not much to say here. Creepy, crawly biting insects. It's probably the number of eyes and legs that gets her though.
Motivations:
- Revenge: Admittedly, this motivation goes against all of the morals and ethics that Tyra holds so close. Yet, she can't help herself. Three years full of horrific nightmares, looking over her shoulder, and general fear has hardened her resolve. She will take her revenge on the man who gave her the scars on her neck.
- Spreading Equality: A motivation of Tyra's that is more in line with her morals and ethics, Tyra's biggest motivation is to spread as much equality and peace as she possibly can, hoping for a world where everyone is equal.
- Enacting Justice: Her final motivation is another one in line with her morals. Tyra herself has seen injustice firsthand, as the scars on her neck will prove. She will stop at nothing to Enact Justice against those who have committed Injustices, short of killing.
Fears:
- Death: The most common fear that most everyone has, Tyra fears death just as much as any other person, not wanting to cease existing at all, as she feels that her death would allow injustice to spread more easily.
- Heights: She gets dizzy pretty easily when heights get involved, and gets vertigo when she looks down from a high place.
- Abandonment: This may seem a bit hypocritical, but Tyra's second largest fear is that of Abandonment. Even if she ran away from home, she never was abandoned by her family. She left out of shame. She doesn't want to be left all alone, with nobody to keep her company or listen to her when she needs a listening ear.
