Ability Ratings
Agility	Tyra's running speed averages at around 55 MPH under normal conditions. She's good at dashing, capable of reaching her top speed in a matter of seconds. She's capable of decent acrobatics and can almost instantly change direction without pause, but her jumping is only average.
Strength	Being an athlete and frequent exerciser, along with a lengthy history of street fighting, has given Tyra impressive raw power. She does her best to maintain her fitness, but her strongest moments are often fueled by adrenaline, so she can't always use her full strength easily.
Toughness	Being an experienced fighter for a good part of her life has toughened Tyra up to a considerable degree, and she's learned how to both throw and take punches of all kinds. She's good at shrugging off pain when excited, but it will likely come back to bite her when the heat cools down.
Energy	Tyra is a naturally energetic person and stubborn competitor, and being physically honed has given her long-lasting stamina. However, her potential for chaos energy is at the bare minimum.

General Info

Tyra Gulo is an antisocial drifter with a shady history, a sensitive pride, a love and appreciation for large trucks and heavy weaponry and loud music, anger problems, and the strength to "share" her anger problems with others. She doesn't like to pick fights, but she'll gladly escalate them into full-on brawls and painful beat-downs if provoked. She's quick and easy to anger, and the wolverine isn't good at calming herself down. When pushed far enough, what little restraint she has can break down completely, and the results are often bloody.

Impulsive, brash, and temperamental; she's prone to letting her powerful emotions lead her around, which makes predicting her actions a hit-or-miss effort. She's gruff, impatient, and prone to outbursts, as she never learned much about self-control when she was younger. Distrusting towards anyone she doesn't personally know, Tyra has little consideration for others besides herself and the few who have gained her respect. Being a loud-mouthed cynic with a mean sense of humor and a fondness for harsh language also doesn't help the wolverine interact well with others.

Regardless of her poor social skills, Tyra's enthusiastic and energetic when she's genuinely interested in something, and when put to the test, that enthusiasm turns into a cocky attitude and a fierce drive to prove herself–she hates losing, she hates admitting she's wrong, and she hates to back down from a challenge. It's not easy for her to admit weakness, and while her overconfidence has given her a formidable determination, it can also lead her into bad situations that she can't handle. But in the face of adversity, Tyra will do whatever it takes to survive. If she's fighting for something that matters to her, she'll keep going, tooth and nail, until she doesn't have the strength to stand.

Appearance

Tyra is around 116 cm tall, and weighs around 37 kg. Being a wolverine, she has round ears on the top of her head, and a short tail. She maintains a very fit and athletic build while also taking care of her curvaceous figure. Her fur and hair are the same color, a deep reddish-fuchsia dubbed raspberry rose. Her hair is around medium-length and naturally curly, but she keeps it tied back in a ponytail most of the time. Her eyes are a crisp blue-gray. There is a noticeable nick on her left ear and a long scar that runs up her left upper arm, from just below the shoulder to just past the elbow.

Tyra is inclined towards sportswear, to suit her active lifestyle, but also likes casual clothes for comfort. Her favored outfit at the moment is a waterproof orange-and-black track jacket, with black track pants with white vertical stripes running up the sides, and basic but durable black running shoes.

Ability Info

Tyra is pretty plain in terms of how she gained her abilities. She first picked up her hand-to-hand combat skills at a young age in street fights, which she continued to hone as the years went on. She soon found “practical” uses for her abilities and started meeting various people who taught her a few tricks. She uses a mix of boxing and wrestling techniques for hammering her opponents and putting them down hard. Outside of bare-handed combat, Tyra can utilize practically any object that fits in her hands as a weapon, including actual weapons, but her aim with guns leaves something to be desired. As a result, she prefers close-range combat where she doesn't have to worry much about aiming.

She isn't the fastest runner, but what agility she does have helps her throw strong blows quickly and dodge or block slower attacks. She's been a talented recreational athlete and a fist-fighter for a number of years, which has helped her improve and maintain her physique. Tyra's fighting history has also taught her how to withstand pain and physical stress which, on top of her considerable stamina and energetic personality, allows her to last for quite a while in physical excursions of all kinds and shrug off lighter attacks. Wearing her down can take quite a while.
