|Appearance|
Tigress, at first glance, seems to be a perfect example of teenage girl. Long, dark brown hair, smooth, flawless skin, a pearly white smile, natural curves, and a slender body shape all contribute to that. But, taking a closer look, the average mortal may be rather shocked at their findings. Upon her head, along with her normal ears, is a pair of fuzzy, round tiger ears. Sprouting from her tail bone is a long, thick, furry tiger striped tail. Her canines are extra-long and really sharp, and upon further inspection, you will see that they were made to bite through bone, flesh, and steel. On each of her finger tips are inch long claws that are harder than almost every earthly substance, excluding adamantium of course. They retract, along with her fangs, for easy concealment.
Tigress’ usual attire consists of jeans, sweatpants, t-shirts, button ups, sneakers, sweat shirts, and combat boots. She doesn’t enjoy showing her shoulders or back because they are both riddled with hundreds of scars, varying in both size and length. The scars are white and beginning to fade, but are still not a pretty sight. And if you ask her how she got the scars, she’ll either refuse to tell you, shred you to pieces, or walk away and cry alone in her room.
|Personality|
Naturally, being part cat, Tigress’ attitude and personality mimics that of her feline counterpart. Unpredictable. One moment, he might be happy and energetic, and in the next moment she’ll be grouchy and sullen. But with Tigress, one thing never really changes. She’s got a snippy, sassy attitude, not to mention she can be very defensive. She suffers from hypertymesia, meaning she remembers everything. Well, except for what happened to her before the age of 7, but more on that in her history.
Tigress is very brave and courageous, but that’s mostly because she can be rather arrogant. She thinks she’s better than those around her, and that can get her into trouble.
Tigress’ hates talking about her past and rarely does.
|Powers|
~Feline Attributes~
Along with her changed appearance, a few other things come with the ears, tail and claws. Her senses are heightened sharply and she can see in the dark. She’s stronger than ten men put together and more flexible than a noodle out of a pot. She’s very fast, reaching speeds of up to 75 mph when sprinting. She’s an avid swimmer and can move around in the shadows in complete silence.
~Shifting~
Tigress, when not being able to control her emotions, can shift into an over-sized tiger. The tiger is about 5’6’’ at the shoulder. She does not like shifting into her tiger form because the shifting process is extremely painful. She can feel the fur pushing through her skin and her bones breaking and snapping into place. When in her tiger form, she goes completely feral and usually has to be knocked out or sedated.
~Elemental Control~
Tigress, if focusing hard enough, can control the four elements and most of their sub-elements. She, however, has little to no control over the element of fire, and usually panics internally when around fire.

|Fears|
~Thunder and Lightning~
Ever since Tigress was little, she’s been afraid of the thunder and lightning. When she was little, she never had anyone to comfort her and tell her what the loud sounds where. The thunder hurts her ears and the flashes of lightning hurt her eyes. If there is a thunder storm, she likes to hide somewhere small and dark.
~Doctors and Needles~
Since Tigress spent her childhood in a cage being poked and prodded by needles, she has grown up with this phobia of doctors and needles. If you even come near her with a needle, she flips out and will do anything to get away from it. Tony usually has to sedate Tigress to have her vaccinations done.
|Weaknesses|
~Electricity~
It was programmed in her DNA to be weak to electricity. The scientists who made her who she is today knew that they needed a least one easily exploited weakness if they wanted to control such a powerful being. The pain created by electricity multiples by tenfold when felt by Tigress.
~Loud Noises~
Tigress’ ears are super sensitive, so it’s only natural for her to hate loud sounds.
~Her Tail and Ears~
Tigress’ ears and tail are the weak points on her body. Tugging on her ears hurts a lot. Pulling on her tail could break it or dislocate it, causing terrible pain and days to fix.
