<div class="floatleft">(http://freedesktopwallpaper.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/wallpaper-anime-girls-japan-181.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Tamika Ming<br/><strong>Team:</strong>Wild Marmet<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>All teammates of Wild Marmet<br/><br/><strong>Day Zero</strong><br/>Tamika already had an idea of what she would be up against thanks to the friend of her father’s that had pulled her out of Dirge all those years ago.  He had warned her what she would be dealing with when she went to the academy to see if she could get in and had worked with her tirelessly to her Great Aunt’s horror weeks just right before she went to the academy.  He had tried to prepare her the best he could for the harshness that would be the tests to get into the school, but still Tamika was overwhelmed by everything at first.  The written test wasn’t too bad for her as she had a sharp mind and her Great Aunt’s love for history that had helped her through that section.  She had a little trouble on questions on Grimm but her father’s friend had grilled on that which had saved her, though he would have said she was just being to hard on herself.<br/><br/>It was kind of cool with the written part of the test having the Headmaster watching over them as it was her first glance at him and though he was old there was an energy about him that she couldn’t deny.  To most it was probably the part they hated most but Tamika enjoyed it as it allowed her to use her mind to it’s fullest and gave the girl a challenge.  She didn’t have too much trouble naming the local plant life, but some of the other things most hunters knew about surviving in the Wildlife she tried to use logic along with some of the things that the hunter had tried to instill in her.  The young woman figured she had failed that part so she hoped scores from other areas would help them to consider her.  The one supervising this test seemed strict and Tamika made sure not even to give her a reason to come down on her.<br/><br/>The fighting part of the practical exam was the part she had been the most afraid of just for the fact that she wasn’t the strongest of fighters.  Of course of the BeoWolf wasn’t too hard as they were fighting in units and she got to bring out her father’s throwing knives, but the trouncing that the teacher overseeing that part of the test gave her later was horrible.  She could tell the woman was experienced because she had gotten her just as good as the hunter training her before had.  He had said that she would get better with experience and that was what the academy was for and Tamika really hoped that she got in.  She was didn’t complain about her defeat though, instead trying to use the fight as a learning tool by running through each move that had been made through her head.<br/><br/>Meeting ’Professor T’ was probably the most weird encounter for the young woman with her bone attire as she was checking her over as she was serving as the nurse as the academy along with whatever else she did.  She tried to answer her medical history and other questions that the woman answered her to the best of her ability.  Glad for once about her Great Aunt’s fussiness over regular doctor appointments and such for her after she had moved in with her.  She was relieved like the other students when they were brought into the cafeteria and given something to eat before being moved again into a huge open spot in the school to bed down for the night.  Tamika knew tomorrow she would learn her fate, if she would be allowed to stay at the school or forced to return to her Great Aunt for another year.<br/><br/><strong>Day One</strong><br/>Tamika was a little surprised at the ringing that woke her up until she remembered where she was and sighed as the young woman went with everyone else to breakfast.  She did have to admit that the food at the academy was delicious as she looked over everything to eat she was afraid she might gain 10 pounds by just looking at it.  Breakfast was over far too soon for Tamika’s liking though her head picked seeing the Headmaster enter the room and she knew it was time.  She bit her lips as he spoke about who would be leaving only breathing again when she realized that she had been chosen to stay.  Though many others were seeming to do little celebrations at being able to stay, she was more quiet about hers.<br/><br/>She wasn’t sure what category that she belonged to when the Headmaster spoke of who did exemplary jobs and who barely made it through, but Tamika was prepared to work hard.  Tamika tried to sit still as he said he was going to announce teams and watched as he pulled out a scroll.  When her name was called with the first group she did as the Headmaster asked flushing a little under his gaze as he spoke directly to them.  She tried to remember the team name that he gave them, finding the name a surprise and was quite glad when one of the guys Welkin Graham was called to be the leader.  She knew she would be no good at leading and was happy to have someone else in that position.<br/><br/>As he spoke to Welkin it only confirmed that she would not want the job as leader, you had to make a lot of decisions that effected others and a lot of those decisions would not be easy.  She felt bad for him that he was having so many responsibilities put on him and despite usually keeping to herself she figured she would try to listen to him.  She knew there would be times that they would butt heads but she could hopefully keep that to a minimum.  Tamika watched her teammates in silence as Welkin spoke a little to them and waved at them to follow him and that the other guy Mori didn’t seem impressed with him too much.  She didn’t know what the other girl thought of Welkin but to her he just seemed nervous.  “He seems a little nervous…” She muttered to herself quietly not realizing how her teammates might think of her talking to herself.
