Lets Get More Personal
Likes:
- Balls of colorful yarn (chasing them, throwing them, biting them) - Knitting (what else is she going to do with all those balls?) - Fishing (better done with her bare hands) - Chocolate and banana ice cream with pickles (don't ask.) - Shopping (or more to a point window shopping and then shoplifting) - Spending time with her half sister and her friends (read as half monster students) - Picking fights - Being catty
Dislikes:
- People making jokes about her 'cat ancestry'. Saying something like, "Hey, are you gonna cough up a hair ball" will get you punched in the gut. - People saying "Here Kitty Kitty Kitty." when calling her. - Uppity demi gods, both Greek and roman alike. - Half monsters getting picked on just because they're half monster. - The fact that demigods smell. (You try sitting in a class with around twenty of them smelling like assorted fish and see how YOU like it) - Half monsters acting like bullies just because they're half monsters. - Half monsters whining about their past. - Anyone who's a bully and whiny. 10 points off if they're a whiny bully. - Copy cats and cat fights, as such she's never really very close to girls.
Personality: Tabitha is moody and temperamental and as such the way she acts around people depends a lot on who they are. If she's in private with her half sister, Tabitha can be motherly to the point of being stifling. She's got a tendency to be over protective over Katherine, always worrying if the younger girl is too tainted by their shared past to lead a happy and normal life.
If she's around the half monster crowd she's all laid back tough girl with very literal claws and teeth and words that could cut you deeper then any magical sword on campus. But it shows to anyone who cares to look that Tabitha is kind to her own 'people.' Though she'd deny it when asked, she always seems to have time help them. It could be teaching the younger half monsters how to fight, or it could be talking someone down from attacking and eating a demi god, or it could just be providing a listening ear to those who just want to angst about who they are, Tabby will make time for them and she'd never ask for anything in return.
Outsiders though only get the tough girl who's always spoiling for a fight. This has earned her a reputation for being 'dangerous' with the demi god population of the Academy, and she has no complaints about that. History: Tabitha's childhood was a very odd one as far as childhood's go. For starters she never knew her mortal father though her mother liked to joke that he was still in the cave lying around somewhere. She of course meant the many varied skeletons lying on the floor of the cave that Tabitha once called home. She never really did have a heart to ask her mother which specific set of bones was her father.
But aside from her mother being a very literal monster, her father being dead and her living in a cave, Tabitha's life was like a routine. Her mother used her as bait to lure both children and adults into the cave where she would test them with her riddles and then eat them. Tabitha got her share too, and yes she was made to eat raw meat. Her monster side was encouraged, her mother driving her to all sorts of cruel acts and then muttering about how it would soon be time to send her away. The turning point came with the birth of her sister. Tabitha was not there to witness it, nor was she there to witness the ritual killing of the father but she was introduced to the baby named Katherine and that was when her life changed. She had never cared about anyone else before but she most certainly cared about that weak little baby the moment she laid her eyes on it.
They formed a very real bond and as Katherine grew older, Tabitha saw that their mother was trying to mould the little girl into something like her. It was not something that Tabitha could let happen and on Katherine's ninth birthday, they ran away. Needless to say life became very hard for them. On top of having to scavenge for food and shelter they had to stay away from the monsters that roamed the streets. Tabitha has no idea how long they remained homeless but it was a little over three years before Ashley found them. The boy was like them, but yet not and he offered them food and a place to live saying that they would be safe from their mother there. Tabitha was reluctant to agree but the thought of food swayed her. As soon as they got to the Academy though, Katherine immediately fell in love with it and Tabitha has no choice but to stay. She's been at the school for a while, studying, helping out Ashely and of course being a protective big sister. Abilities:
- Heightened senses, especially her sense of smell. Tabitha can sniff out a demigod from half a mile off if they're one of the stronger ones. The same ability applies to monsters and half monsters as well allowing her to sense danger when it's heading straight for her.
- Agility and durability. Being part cat, Tabitha lands on her feet more often then not. Her body is also more durable then a mortals, and is able to withstand the rigorous activities that she puts herself through such as taking a dive from two stories down or jumping from tree to tree at the Academy.
- Hand to hand combat. Since coming to the Academy, Tabitha has sought out training for various forms of martial arts. Her fighting style is very up close and personal.
- Is witty, and has a knack for coming up with tricky riddles. This is something that she's inherited from her mother, but Tabitha hardly bothers to block someones path and ask them a riddle. She only does that to the people she does like and if you've been asked a riddle by her that means she considers you as a friend. Usually though the with of the sphinx is used for sarcastic comments and words with an edge.
Weaknesses:
- Cannot resist chasing after balls if they're rolled in front of her. Tabby could be in a life or death situation but she'd drop and forget everything if she sees a ball go rolling past her.
- She's a hot head, letting her temper getting the better of her. Tabby's the stab first and ask questions later type of girl and because of that she's very prone to jumping the gun and missing clues and stabbing someone who could be a friend in the face.
- Her witty comments crosses the boarders of rudeness and become insults more often then not. Because of this Tabby does not make many friends who are the sensitive sort. She doesn't have a lot of female friends either seeing as she never sees eye to eye with them. Its' either they engage in friendly competition that turns out to be no to friendly or they tire of her cattiness or vice versa. As such, Tabby sticks to the boys which has earned her another sort of reputation.
- She has major trust issues when it comes to demigods (greek and roman alike) and demi titans. She does not believe that some of then can be friendly and so is mean to all of them preemptively. This means that she doesn't have a lot of friends even among the more peaceable demigods and demititans. She also has a tendency to run her mouth about the gods as well. She doesn't share the same kind of respect for them, it's probably the monster side of her acting up but she's in real danger of becoming a kitty kebab.
Other Information: Seeing that Tabitha attempted to bury her mother alive in a cave in, while she and her sister escaped, she doesn't think that mommy dearest is going to leave any presents on her pillow anytime soon. Though she carries a knife hidden on her person at all times, Tabitha has other weapons as well. A penchant for riddles are not the only thing that she sphinx passed down to her.
Tabitha has claws. Long, hooked claws that extend from under her fingernails. These claws work on monsters and mortals alike and she's able to retract them back into her hand when she doesn't' need them. Her canine teeth are also shaped like a cats, curved and pointed she has to be careful how she smiles, least she show them off and be bombarded with cat/vampire jokes.
