Personality —

Tina lost her parents when Handsome Jack’s corporation experimented on them via lackey Fleshstick and neither survived. She got out; they didn’t. The explosive her mother hid in her dress and told her to pull to escape led to her interests in explosives. Now a brilliant explosives expert, she teamed up with a bunch of questionable heroes-slash-bandits to take down her parents’ murderer. She's used to hanging out with people who are unstable, extremely good at violence, and are alien, magical, and otherwise extreme. She's also pretty used to psychos and murderers. The 'good' guys in her world are uh still prety wacko. But there was some softness and love on Pandora, and she did find it. Unfortunately, the person she bonded to as a new father figure was murdered in the process. She was working on processing through that with her friends, and then came through in a Confluence.

Tina is vibrant and disruptive like any tween. However, she also uses this to deflect her very real avoidance of huge trauma. She, in her own words, never stops moving or else the darkness comes back in. And she’s certainly not doing great losing her found family being here. She desperately wants to be close to people but also desperately does not want to lose anyone again, and she doesn't want to TALK ABOUT HER FEELINGS GROSS. In addition, Tina has a visceral aversion to any kind of experimenting on humans. She also does not trust big corporations. She pretty much always has explosives on her.

Tina is SO PSYCHED to be in a world with magic and SO UPSET she (thinks she) didn’t get any. She will be lying about her powers and history and generally trying to disrupt others. Her only real goals are to bother people, have fun, and discover her Magical Destiny TM. If chaos is happening, she will be there. Her favorite people are grumpy adult men and bad ass hot ladies. She also likes winning. Like a lot. And she HATES school.

Gameplay —

Areas of Interest / Brainstorming: I want Tina to just…break some adults. She will probably lie she has magic and try to sign up for magic school. She will be trying to determine what her powers are and will make questionable decisions to find them, such as demon deals. Human experimentation will, however, be upsetting to her, and moreso if she finds herself tempted by it. She will get random housing and probably hit up the teens for friends (she’s never had teen friends) and imprint on some of the bad ass ladies.

She was going to join the Guild because she thinks they'll be easier to lie to tbh, but then she imprinted on Sephiroth so is staying unaligned for now.
