KEY ATTRIBUTES:
STRENGTHS[/u] Tanya hasn't always known what she wanted. She is learning about herself recently and realizing that she very much likes to ascend ladders and better herself in any way possible. It is her greatest wish, since arriving at the DWMA, to create a Death Scythe.
Quick-Witted: Despite Tanya being rash and at times harsh, she is an intelligent girl who normally can deduce what action should be taken or what the outcome would be of use to her however she does not have to heed her mind and will often act in a way that her mind doesn't always agree with.
High Pain Tolerance: Growing up around boys has conditioned Tanya to pain. She is familiar with it and with that she is also familiar with her limits. She is very good at hiding her pain; whether it be physical or emotional.
High Stamina: Tanya can run for a while without needing a rest. She can spend her day doing very busy work and still only need a minimum of 6 hours of sleep in order to feel well rested. She can function fine on even less, although she likes her sleep.
Stealthy/Nimble: Spending her summer days playing tag or hide-and-go-seek has taught Tanya how to weave herself in and out of places without being detected. She can also climb trees with barely a shake of a single branch. [/ul][/size]
WEAKNESSES
Arrogant: Although Tanya possesses a mind of reason she does not heed it's warnings often enough. It may be a sense of misplaced judgement on her part or sometimes something far more stupid. If Tanya feels as though something should be done despite logic she very well does it. End of discussion brain.
Naive: She trusts others to easily and to quickly. She always tries to see good in people; even the less than deserving. Although many people would describe her as rude, Tanya has always trusted first and asked questions later. This sort of attitude is good to have to some extent but it also leaves her heart open to wound.
Sore Loser: Tanya likes to win. She despises losing and will normally pout if she is bested in anything. She often feels superior to most people as far as athleticism goes and will go a great distance to prove it.
Can't Swim: One of her most deepest secrets. Tanya has always snaked her way out of swimming trips or sports. Why? Because she is scared of water! She can't swim. This embarrasses her greatly, in fact the only person who knows of this is her mother and father. When she was around five years of age Tanya decided to jump inside a river from the pier, thinking that it would be easy to learn to swim. She did not know the current that awaited her and soon she was swept under it, being pulled swiftly to an early death. Her father pulled her from the water barely alive and ever since then Tanya has never gotten in water except to bathe.
Quick Tempered: One wrong thing said or done can set Tanya off quickly. This is a huge disadvantage in battle and has cost her a fight more than once. She lets her emotions control her which is a number one folly in a fight.
Slow Reaction Time: Although she generally can decide the better course of action in a fight she will hesitate. She finds it hard to sort through what she wants to do and what she should do.
Spatially Unaware: Tanya has terrible farsighted vision and will sometimes assume something is either farther or closer to her than it really is.
Partial Blindness: Tanya is suppose to wear glasses though through her bouts and tumbles she is often left with them broken. She suffers from a very bad astigmatism that overtakes most of her left eye.
Vestibular Disorder: This particular issue has no real name, seeing as no doctor has been able to pin point the exact cause of the effect other than it could be linked to her eye problems and of course, the sense of vertigo when she over exerts her vision. It is actually an ear problem that will sometimes cause her eyes to shake even though she herself is not moving them. She feels dizzied all of the time, although depending on her exertion, it can be worse sometimes and not as bad other times. She also suffers from severe headaches. When she wears glasses it helps her as far as the dizziness goes however she gets more migraines when she wears them. This effects her ability to fight in that the headache gets so bad that she can barely open her eyes. She also has issues with the dizziness in a battle. It will cause her to see double. If she wears glasses or contacts she can avoid the dizziness of this flaw but the headaches are always there and increase with the use of things like glasses. [/ul][/size]

THE BASICS
CHARACTER NAME: Tanya Walsh
RACE: Human
CLASS: Meister
ADVANCED CLASS: N/A
AGE: 17
GENDER: Female
APPEARANCE:
Tanya has struggled with her outward appearance most of her life. When she was a young girl, running around to play with kids her age, it was suitable of her to go out as if she were a boy. She would wear loose fitting jeans with a tee shirt that bore no marking other than an occasional logo. It was unfeminine of her to be as such but it never bothered her. Not then at least. When she was young, Tanya always ran around with the boys. Even before she really knew her cousin Rick, she was always a tomboy and never cared either way.
Later, however, she had begun to care. It was when her figure was really forming and subtle curves began to show even beneath the baggy clothing she had wore for so long. She thought that the boys she considered her friends would notice but they did not. She wanted more than anything to be noticed as a girl, but not girly. She wanted everyone to realize without a snippet of doubt, that she was a girl. She was more than the frog chasing wild-child who liked baseball.
At first, as it is with every girl who comes of age, she was awkward. She tried to wear skirts and flowery dresses that only caused her friends to shy away from her and make fun of her from afar. Eventually, however, she developed her own style. She wore bluejeans that allowed movement but fit to her body in a way that was appealing. She would wear tank-tops that hung loosely at the front but still allowed her to appear feminine in a rough sort of way. After a few more years of tweaking her style, Tanya realized that she could bring out her womanly figure even more while not appearing girly. She began wearing sport bras and over this she would wear jumpsuits that fit her well.
She can also be seen wearing goggles on her head. These are orange in color and are always present. She might wear them during a fight. They originated from her dirt biking days, which she would still love to do however her bike was destroyed in an accident some time ago. The goggles simply complete her look now and are merely there for some sort of aesthetic purpose. More tell-tale signs of her femininity are the pink heart earrings that hang from her ears beneath the bright green overly-processed hair. She also wears eyeliner on her blue eyes. She feels good about being a woman and doesn't hide it at all. Her hair is naturally green, however towards the ends you can see where she has tried to dye her hair blue and her roots have grown out. She meant to dye it again but, as her hair grew, she decided she liked the way the green faded to the blue and decided to leave it that way.
ABILITIES
CURRENT PARTNER(S): None yet
ABILITIES:
- MAIN ABILITY: UNDECIDED. I will make her a main ability when I decide exactly how I want her to fight.
- SUPPORT ABILITY: Standard Soul Perception
TYPE: Active
STRENGTH: Average
KEYWORDS: sense souls, wavelength
DESCRIPTION:
Mastering the basics of Soul Perception unlocks its full capabilities. In addition to being able to sense souls in a greater radius the character can now identify the characteristics of a soul, telling normal humans apart from those afflicted with madness as well as identifying Kishin Eggs, witches, and other irregular souls. The level of discernment isn't perfect, however; for example, telling the difference between a witch and a cat with unusually strong magical powers may be nigh-on impossible unless you know what to look for. Soul perception can now be used "on the go" and, with concentrated effort, it becomes possible to read certain surface-level aspects of a character's personality via their soul's wavelength. - SUPPORT ABILITY: Advanced Physical Conditioning
TYPE: Passive
STRENGTH: Inept
KEYWORDS: improved strength
DESCRIPTION:
This character has undergone special training and conditioning to improve themselves physically, surpassing what are generally considered the limits of the human body in terms of strength. However, this is really just the tip of the iceberg; on the scale of super-human attributes this character's abilities rank at 2, maybe 3, out of 10. Examples from Soul Eater include Maka Albarn, Soul Eater Evans, and the Thompson Sisters. In Tanya's case, her training has been focused on her specialty, raw brute strength.
EQUIPMENT:
Nothing over the top. Just her clothing and her ever-present goggles. Normal things, at least in her opinion.

PERSONALITY:
Alertly aware of her own strangeness, Tanya would view herself as a kind girl with a loud voice and a hard kick. She has always been obnoxious to some, but to other meeker people she may be a source for admiration. She seems so sure about herself and her actions, almost as if she was certain as to what kind of person she is and never questions it. However such an assumption would be incorrect. Tanya is still a bit confused about herself as most are at her age. She feels ever-changing; feeling one way one moment and having her previous theories and consecrations proved wrong the next. Such is the life of a teen-aged girl.
She is most outwardly shown to be outspoken and opinionated. She hardly thinks about what she says before she says it. It might seem foolish to some but Tanya feels as though she is accurate most of the time, even if she is proved wrong later. Despite this, Tanya will admit her wrong doings and, if she is proved wrong, she will admit in being wrong. She will not be in good spirits about it, but non-the-less she is not a liar and she would not want to seem truly foolish. She is very aware of her sexuality. She likes it when people compliment her looks and her style. Especially if said person were to be a boy. Perhaps she is boy-crazed to an extent, however she has not ever dated anyone. Tanya feels as though her mannerism intimidates boys. Despite this, and despite realizing this, Tanya cannot help acting even more outlandish when around a boy she currently likes.
Tanya seems to have escaped most of her teen years unscathed. She is quite the fierce person when maddened and not easily calmed down either. Surprisingly she has made it this far without a single scar. She also has kept up with her self-esteem, which to her was easy to accomplish. She feels as though she is attractive enough although she is aware that she is not perfect. Loud and outrageous as she can be, Tanya us a very loyal person. Once she has attached herself to a single person she feel as though that person is someone she would cross the world to see, or even die for. However she is not without fear of death, it is simply that when she loves someone she loves them.
HISTORY:
Tanya grew up on the East Coast in Providence, Rhode Island. The actual area was connected throughout six different counties, as it is still today. The area of her own upbringing was densely populated as is most of Rhode Island. Because of this she grew up in a close neighborhood, one where she was viewed as one of the boys. She hadn't originally been born in Rhode Island, but in Texas. Her father had moved to Rhode Island upon the death of her mother. There was not much point for them to stay in Texas, seeing as they had more family in Rhode Island. It was Aric's, her father's, original plan to go to RI in order for his mother to help him raise Tanya, however this did not happen in that way. Once they got there Aric rarely wanted Tanya to go anywhere. He even had his work schedule arranged so that he would work when she was at school and be home when she was not.
Perhaps it was her absent mother that caused Tanya to become boyish. Her father taught her how to throw a ball, fish and even took her hunting once she grew up a bit more. In her early years she joined numerous Soft Ball teams and when she grew older still she started volley ball. It was around the time she started volley ball that she decided to embrace her femininity a little more. She wanted to be noticed by boys as a girl. After a bit of tweaking she had styled herself in a way she thought suitable.
During this time she had found her cousin, Rick, and they were well friends. Soon, however, the boy left his home in MA and moved to Nevada where he would attend the famed Shibusen Academy. From there Tanya stayed home and went to her same ol ordinary school. But her father had become increasingly protective of the girl and before long Tanya wanted to leave. She had thought that going to Nevada would be a good thing for her. Aric didn't agree, however.
After many years of denying her, Aric did finally allow her to go to Shibusen. It was to Tanya's dismay, however. Aric had gotten in with a local woman and they were to be wed. Aric had said it would be good for both of them, and Tanya agreed but she couldn't help but feel as if he was just pawning her off so he could start over with a wife who wasn't dead and with a kid that wanted to stay with him.
Tanya left RI at the age of 15 in order to attend Shibusen Academy. Since arriving she hasn't done so well. She hasn't gotten a partner and her ability as a meister has yet to come into full effect. So far, nothing stands out about the young girl but Tanya hopes to change that as soon as she can.
