General Info

Tyra Gulo is impatient, impulsive, and temperamental in behavior, letting her emotions, desires, and whims lead her around, making her hard to predict at times. She's gruff, brash, easily agitated, and shows little consideration for anyone besides herself. Despite her hostility, Tyra is usually capable of keeping calm enough for the sake of regular socializing, but she isn't a fan of chit-chat and doesn't know how to handle people being friendly with her, making her language curt at best, and very harsh at worst. Outside of her regular antisocial attitude, she also has a powerful hair-trigger temper that can send her berserk, a bad combination with her violent and destructive tendencies.

Regardless of her poor social skills, Tyra's enthusiastic and energetic when she's genuinely interested in something, and when she's put to the test, that enthusiasm turns into pure stubbornness and a need to prove herself–she can't stand losing, she never wants to admit she's wrong, and she hates to back down from a personal challenge. It's not easy for her to ignore her pride, though sometimes she'll twist it around to suit her needs. Greed can also be an issue; Tyra has made a habit of snapping up the best she can get her hands on, another part of her self-centered perspective. She doesn't usually go too far with it if it's risky, but it's clear that she highly values wealth and power.

Tyra makes an effort to take care of herself, physically. She enjoys exercise and competitive sports as hobbies, but she doesn't restrict her diet at all. Though she's far from a flirt, and despite her scrappy personality, she also makes an effort to take care of her appearance; she insists she's quite good-looking and prides herself on it. Tyra is also, though she denies it, kind of a moron and barely thinks things through; oddly, she does have a knack for improvising and making snap decisions on the fly, and her intuition has saved her many times in the past, but otherwise, she's not that clever; even some of her spontaneous ideas are devoid of real logic or sanity. Her general lack of intelligence is usually because of her powerful emotions getting in the way of rational thought and clouding her mind. She's notably smarter when she's calm, but she still only manages to be of average intelligence.

Tyra doesn't talk about her history, and doesn't want anyone to know where she's from or what she used to do. Tyra looks shady, she knows it, but as far as she is concerned it doesn't matter as long as she keeps a tight lid on everything. Whatever it was, it taught her how to hurt people and enjoy it. She's new in the area, having only drifted in a few months ago, and she still barely knows her way around, and has only a passive awareness of most current events.

Appearance

Tyra is around 116 cm tall, and weighs around 29 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 called 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, though on very sunny days they're usually hidden behind a pair of very cheap shades. 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 is a waterproof orange track jacket with black track pants, and black running shoes. She does change her style to match the seasons though, switching to running shorts and tanktops and tees in warmer weather. But when she knows that things are going to be rough, she'll go for a pair of rugged jeans.

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 met 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. Of course, no one taught her anything about fighting fair.

Tyra 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 strong, toned, but flexible physique. Tyra's experience has also taught her how to withstand pain and physical stress, on top of her considerable stamina and energetic personality, allowing her to last for quite a while in physical excursions of all kinds and shrug off lighter attacks; wearing her down, while possible, can take a long time.

The wolverine has a knack for repairing basic mechanisms and understands electronics despite having little formal education on the subjects, but has a hard time tinkering with anything as complex as a normal engine, and would probably break something else if she tried; a lack of patience definitely doesn't improve her abilities in that area. Tyra's also picked up some decent driving skills from somewhere, but has had little real experience behind the wheel of anything. Oddly enough, she also understands lock-picking pretty well, despite being the kind of person who breaks things open with force instead of finesse.
