Tannika Kingsley
Female/Androgynous
Goes by she/her pronouns really doesn't care about pronouns
Absolutely hates her name because she thinks its entirely too girly and it associates her with her parents/her family too much, so she goes by TK.
Member of Nyir's regiment
26
150lbs
5'0
Faded ginger/red, sort of a dusty red.
TK is very curvy and sturdy with a lot of muscle and fat. She carries a lot of her weight in her thighs, butt, waist, and stomach. Her chest is fairly average sized, leaning towards larger than average, but she wears primarily sports bras to reduce the appearance of her breasts. Narrow shoulders/frame. Very muscular calves and arms. She has some body dysmorphia because she would prefer to be skinny and flat-chested, because her body isn't necessarily androgynous.
Very pale, would burn easily in the sun, visible veins, flushes easily
Caucasian
Pale blue-green-gray. Very unremarkable.
None
Wears her hair in a pixie cut parted to the left.
-TK freckles easily. She's coated from head to toe in a splattering of freckles.
-She has a very brilliant smile.
TK is flexible, quick, and strong. Practically a gymnast. She's also a really, really good singer/musician.
-Body dysmorphia. Feels as though she gains weight in all the wrong places and it makes her both more feminine and less worthy of respect. Sometimes goes without eating so that she can lose weight. Used to have an eating disorder when she was in high school, but once she joined the regiment she began to realize her worth. She is still fighting against her body dysmorphia, but it's much better than it once was.
Runs her hands through her hair a lot. Scratches at the back of her neck when she's nervous. Blows air between her teeth when frustrated. Drums her hands on her thighs when restless. Yawns a lot. Doodles on her hands and arms. Swears often and without a filter. Talks too loud much of the time. Interrupts people.
-TK is above all else ambitious and competitive. She wants to be the best at literally anything she tries. She's always trying to better herself and beat her personal records.
-TK also tends to be reckless because she's desperate to experience as much as she can. She's always looking for something to entertain her/cause her adrenaline to spike. She's in it for the thrill of it all.
-Selfish. As a result of being extremely self-conscious in high school, now TK thinks first about TK, then about the rest of the world. She is always thinking several steps ahead in terms of how things might benefit her. She hardly ever does things for other people, choosing to exclusively do things that align with her own goals. She can seem greedy or standoffish because of this trait, even though its more of a defense mechanism.
-Opinionated. TK loves debating/arguing and will never hesitate to let her voice be heard. She loves hearing herself talk and thinks she's always right. Will hardly listen when someone disagrees.
-Temperamental. She has a very fiery and aggressive temper. She gets angry easily whenever anyone makes her feel weak/uncomfortable in her body and gets into people's faces when she feels threatened. She shouts a lot and is not good at hiding her emotions.
-Physical. She doesn't often respect people's personal boundaries and tries to challenge people too much. She will threaten physical violence or even grab people if she's angry enough.
TK has no major prejudices. However, she is quick to form judgments about people that can cause her to be prejudiced towards them. Kind of like Elizabeth Bennet.
Loves singing, any kind of art, indie movies, indie and alternative music, playing violin, playing piano, loves any type of game or sport that is at all competitive, loves cuddling, sleeping, and training.
ISTP-A: The Virtuoso
TK is fierce, aggressive, and passionate about her work. She lives for the rush of adrenaline in dangerous situations. She values her life, but feels young and invincible. She acts as though she is a god at times. This overconfidence makes her a viable ally, as she will never give in to a fight, but also a dangerous liability. However, outside of the battle, she's a likable and fun person to be around. She loves to talk and offer bad advice. However, she also has body image issues that manifest in periods of not eating and being generally annoyed and grouchy. She is quick to challenge people, especially people in authority. Not the best at taking orders, although she is improving in that. She often butts heads with Nyir when they disagree because she's vocal and aggressive about her grievances. She sarcastic and snarky to a fault, going too far in her insults. She craves new experiences so she'll often do something reckless or morally gray in order to experience some new sensation. Loves to experiment with her appearance, her sexuality, different substances, food, and anything else. An exciting person to be around, but she can be draining.
Graduated with a high-school diploma, but dropped out of college when she found that it wasn't right for her. She was majoring in sociology, but she realized she'd prefer a more active job.
Born to rich parents. They were fairly supportive of her, although when she came out as a lesbian to them, they were unimpressed and a bit aloof. However, people at her school were quick to tease, especially since she dressed and acted androgynous as well. They would make fun of her body and her sexuality. She developed an eating disorder and body dysmorphia, which lasted the better part of high school. Once she went to college, chopped off her hair, and started partying and meeting people and letting her inhibitions fade away, she started to recover. Finally, she went to therapy and kicked the eating disorder for good. She still has issues with her body, but they're not as major. She dropped out of college after her freshman year, deciding that although it was fun, she was just wasting her talents and money on an education she neither wanted or needed. At first she had some far-flung dream of being a singer or a gymnast, but she realized that she wanted to get her hands dirty. Enter: the invasion. Upon hearing of the invasion, she was quick to put her name on the list to get recruited to a regiment. She joined a few regiments before she was transferred to Nyir's. The two of them often argue, but ultimately, they trust each other completely.

A gigantic mastiff called Evangeline.
TK has the ability to control her density. She can move through walls, or harden herself and become insanely heavy and strong.
Cheesy, cheesy pasta, a food she often wouldn't let herself eat back in high school.
Elephants
Herself. She's the weapon.
Her voice, for both singing and talking.
Deep purple
TK is third in command, technically, on Nyir's regiment. She is the most powerful by far.
A rebel without a cause. Very vocal about her left-leaning views. Would love to join a rebellion, if there was one. Sometimes it hits her that she works for the government and she gets all salty about it. Loves to debate politics with anyone and everyone. All bark and no bite.
Considers herself a Deist, to be as vague as possible, although she really is more of an Agnostic. Sometimes she doesn't care, and other times it keeps her awake at night. Leans more towards Hinduism and other largely spiritual religions.
