Age:
27
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Tzipporah is a slim, dark skinned woman with hazel eyes and long, wavy, black hair, which is usually down but when she is doing something that requires speed and/or urgency, she puts it up into a bun. She is normally dressed in heeled combat boots, thick well fitting sweatpants (must have deep pockets), and one of the many well fitting t shirts she has. Her makeup is minimal because she is naturally beautiful; she wears only mascara and a classic smokey eye eyeshadow which must be perfect for her to keep her sanity. The most important thing regarding her appearance is the gold bracelet her father gave her when she was a girl. She never takes it off and it means the world to her. She keeps her father with her wherever she goes.
Abilities:
Tzipporah’s abilities depend completely on her tattoos. As of right now, she has a tattoo of a jaguar on her lower back and a tarantula on her wrist. Whatever creature she has tattooed on her body she is able to summon. In regards to animals such as insects which are known to swarm, when summoning them, it will be a swarm or vast quantity. In regards to other, larger animals which are solitary, they will be summoned as solitary. The summoning ability goes into effect as soon as her tattoo heals completely. She cannot use her power unless the tattoo is completely healed and has become a part of her body. When summoning an animal, it will do Tzipporah’s bidding until it is either killed, or she calls it off. One creature/animal on her body can only be summoned three times in one day. Tattoos of people or Gods are not included in her abilities. Real animals and fictional creatures only.
Skills:
Tzipporah’s skills are not ones that stand out as soon as you meet her. She has a very powerful intuition and can read people like books. She can tell when immediately when she is being lied to, when people are genuine or faking emotions and other behavioral things like these. Coming from a place of instability and trust issues, she has gotten very good at weeding out the liers. In her spare time, or when she is stressed or bored, she will carve figurines out of wood.
Equipment:
Tzipporah carries a backpack most of the time containing a thermos for water, a spare pair of sweatpants, a couple t-shirts, socks, whatever cash she has at the time, her ID and her 6 inch serrated edged switchblade knife. She is in the process of obtaining a crossbow.
Biography:
Born into a family of wealthy, third generation Egyptians, Tzipporah was groomed from the very beginning to look, speak and act a certain way. She was expected to marry a wealthy, well known Egyptian man, have children and take care of her Mother in her old age. Due to her headstrong and independent nature, this was the last thing she wanted to do. Her father divorced her mother when she was little, however did his very best to keep in contact with Tzipporah and continue to support her, whenever she needed. Through her teenage years, she developed a strange obsession with tattoos. She couldn’t explain it, but after she got her first one, she could not stop. She got them however and whenever she could, whether that meant stealing money from her parents or doing odd jobs on the side for extra cash, her tattoos were the only thing on her mind, for some reason. . .
Her obsession with tattoos did not go unnoticed by her family; and they most certainly did not approve. However, she had gotten past the point where she felt she had to explain herself. Being the black sheep constantly eventually became amusing, as soon as she got past the emotional rejection part. Her family stayed true to their traditions and their religion, which were two things Tzipporah hated. She witnessed the Black Sabbath on the television and was inspired to her core. She knew she had to find others like her.
