Discipline issues resulted in her graduating late.<br/><strong>Height:</strong> 5'9”<br/><strong>Gender:</strong> F<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong> Straight. Ish. Mostly. Usually.<br/><strong>Hair:</strong> Bleached to a frizzy silver-white<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong> Hazel, but she usually wears outlandish contacts.  This weekend, they're cat-green with a violet rim.<br/><br/><strong>Face Claim:</strong> Yet Another Pinterest Lovely<br/><br/><strong>Relationship Status:</strong> Divorced. Loudly.<br/><br/><strong>Physique:</strong> Rail-thin, flat all over, almost heroin-chic.  Ears are triple-pierced, right eyebrow is threaded, and her build makes her nipple studs extremely obvious.<br/><br/>T has more ink than many people have places, though a lot of it's not often visible: spiderwebs on the backs of both hands; L. eye teardrop; tribal navel circle and shoulder sleeves; fanged lipmarks on each boob, barbed-wire collar; a snake up the back of her L.leg, head resting on her butt.  The <em>piece d'resistance,</em> though, is the dagger, tip up, on her lower back; it's enclosed by a double circle with mystic runes between them, and bears the motto 'Ars Aeterna'. That one a lot of people have seen- a shot of her back and just the top of her butt, all on a black background, is the cover art for one of her albums.<br/><br/>Her voice is a deepish, breathy rasp, somewhere between Marilyn and Janis.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> <br/><br/>Tanya is an oddly conflicted sort: generally pretty mellow, if more than a bit cynical and snarky, when pushed she can be explosive, even violent. First in line to challenge authoritarian behavior from adults, or 'asshat' behavior  by her fellow students, she was frequently disciplined for insubordination and fighting (she's got a wicked right hook, especially with all the rings she wears- remember to duck). At the same time, she tends to be pretty accepting of other peoples' oddities and quirks. Her jittery body language and rapid, sometimes tangential trains of thought might make someone think she was manic.<br/><br/><strong>High School Reputation:</strong> <br/>-Always in black. Always.<br/>-Total stoner. Certainly crazy. Probably a witch.<br/>-Suspended multiple times, arrested 2x (vandalism, trespassing and possession).<br/>-A crap student overall- she barely graduated, even 2 years late as she was- but did extremely well in Band and, surprisingly, the 'soft' subjects: English, Lit., Psych.<br/>-Tended to date jocks and the few 'bad boys' the school had. Had a rep as an easy lay- but never more than once with anyone.<br/><br/><strong>Adulthood Reputation:</strong> <br/>-The all-female Goth/Trance band she fronts for, <strong>Vox Succuba</strong>, has just made it big (as niche bands go) with their third full-length album <em>Vox Dei.</em>  It's made Top 10 not only in the Goth category, but on the Alternative charts, as well. Tantrick wrote nearly all of the lyrics and a chunk of the music for it.<br/>-She's been in and out of rehab over the last 4 or 5 years; this time, it seems to have stuck. Maybe.<br/>-Rumor has had her linked romantically with all 4 of her (female) bandmates at one time or another. It's unlikely to be true: her relationships tend to disintegrate quite publicly and explosively, but the band still has all its original members. Plus her public appearances with 'dates' have always been with guys.<br/><br/><strong>Additional:</strong><br/>The handful of people T was close to in school know at least part of the story behind her issues: her dad was an alcoholic with a habit of screwing anything that caught his eye when he was lit up. This led to some awesome fights with her hot-tempered Slavic mother. T started getting stoned, like father like daughter, in part to tune out the noise.<br/><br/>While there's no real indication that Tantrick's dad was directly abusive towards her, her relationship history, and the bilateral accusations of spousal violence that popped up during her divorce, seem to indicate her tastes run to type.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Reunion Goals:</strong> If she can't burn the place down, at least she can give it the finger- and maybe scrawl her name on the bathroom wall, one last time. She's curious, too, to see if any of the freaks and geeks she used to hang out with (and occasionally screw) will show up. It'd be good for a laugh.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Relationships WIP</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/><strong>Autumn: </strong>In school, thought she was cool for not getting squicked in bio class. Autumn might be aware of her now thought the band's social media presence.<br/><br/><strong>Victor/Eva:</strong> almost assuredly went after Victor for being an asshat to other students. Later, senior year, enagaged in some drunken Backseat Extreme Sports with him, which split her off from  Henry and Tabby. Now that he's a she, she'd be curious if SHE is still an asshole. If she is, T is perfecly happy to kick her ass again.<br/><br/><strong>Verity:</strong> There's a fine line between talking trash and talking shit from out your ass. Which is a complicated way of saying T was never entirely sure about Verity. On the one hand, she was another chick who didn't seem to care what other people thought she 'should' do and was kind of fun to hang with- and T is <em>dying</em> to know which teacher she was fucking.<br/><br/>On the other, always spreading people's business around? Not cool. They were probably OK, most of the time, in school, but likely T would usually take a hike if Verity started trying to pour poison in her ears. Now, being a target of the professional rumor mill herself, Tantrick is less inclined to put up with it- but she still wants to know which teacher got in her! ;D<br/><br/><strong>Baylee:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Phil: </strong>Snubbed him pretty hard, because he was a grind and the spawn of a teacher. She's much less of a jackass about it, now, having grown up a fair bit, though she might tease him about getting a 'permanent hall pass' because of Mommy.<br/><br/><strong>Tabby:</strong>Tantrick is still nursing a bit of a grudge against Tabby.  She gets why Henry freaked- she fucked up, and she knows it.  But Tabby breaking stuff off just when she needed her was like a kick in her non-existent nuts. She's not planning to make a big deal out of it, if they see each other, but it's there.<br/><br/>And T isn't known for restraining herself...<br/><br/><strong>Tanner</strong>: Felt bad for him being the butt of abuse; got in several fights with various bullies over it. It wasn't about Tanner so much as she didn't like the behavior directed towards him. They'd probably both be a it embarrassed now about her unofficial role as his 'bodyguard'.<br/><br/><strong>Henry/Kat:</strong>Until the end of senior year, one of T's closest hang buddies. Since they were both kids form screwed-up homes, they found solace in hiding from the world together, and bitching about everything, face to face and on the phone. They, plus Tabby, were what Tanya referred to as the 'Three Fukkiteers'. Unfortunately, T's dad's indiscretions lead him to hook up with Henry's mom, which strained their relationship. Tanya's drunk fling with Victor was the last straw, since Victor had harassed Henry quite a bit.<br/><br/>While she's not big on guilt and 'old news', Tantrick feels bad about the way things ended between them, and while she may be a bit freaked out at first about  Kat's transition, she'll be glad to see her old 'hang on the bleachers and get stoned' pal.<br/><br/><strong>Xander:</strong>He wasn't a jock or a bad boy, so they probably didn't click, though she'd have respected him for doing his shit and minding his own business.<br/><br/><strong>Chrissa:</strong>Chrissa and T had an odd relationship in school. While they weren't besties or anything, they were comfortable around each other, and slightly competitive about their bedroom games. They'd often greet each other in the halls with a smirk and a 'yo, slut', or a slap on the ass.  While Chrissa was arguably more active than Tanya- she didn't stick quite so much to one type as T did- they had the same guys several times, once even the same weekend! Their friendship was a casual one, the ease of two girls who didn't give a shit what anyone thought or said about them. While they haven't kept up much, there's njot reason they sholdn't be as copacetic now as they were then.<br/><br/><strong>Evion:</strong> Likely knows him only b/c she hung out with his sister off and on. Bery different types of people, though.<br/><br/><strong>Juliet:</strong> J was the epitome of everything Tanya quietly hated in school: deferential, a grind, well-behaved for the sake of getting along. Not that T ever really did anything about it- it wasn't her style to pick fights over nothing. How she'll respond to her old secret Nemesis now is an open question.<br/><br/><strong>Lemar:</strong> Like Victor, he was one of the guys she smacked up for being an asshole to other students. Also like Victor, she had a go with him. She never claimed she was consistent- or even especially smart, back then.  She's got no interest in renewing the acquaintance now, ten years later. But then, she doesn't claim to be especially smart now, either.<br/><br/><strong>Jon:</strong> Probably thought he was kind of cool, if a bit of a goof- after all, the guy had the stones to come to school in a bra and skirt! Hasn't really thought at all about him since then, but he'll be one of the people she's more or less happy to see again. Even if she did have to lay some smack down on him, once for...what was it he said, again?<br/><br/><br/></div></div></div></div>
