Tabitha Aradhel
Pronunciation: tab-ih-tha Ared-hel
Nicknames: Josie; Tabby; Tabs Category: Student Age: 17 Birthday: March 20th Gender: Female Sexuality: Heterosexual Occupation: Unemployed Class: High School Grade: 11th Offspring: Bran [deceased] Race: Hybrid Race Sub-class: Nightmare/Altavi Elf Appearance
Height: 4'9" (natural)/5' 7" (glamoured)
Build: Dainty (natural)/Voluptuous (glamoured) Full Body Reference Despite the grotesque layout of her parts, Tabitha is unmistakably feminine. She has a pear-shaped body with a soft, circular face. Lips on the thicker side and long lashes with a delicate jawline. Tabby's blue skin is free of blemishes with a healthy under glow. Her hair is a warmer blonde than her family's. The underside of her hair is a soft pink from an attempted dye job. Her hair is naturally straight and cascades to her thighs in thick strands. The first thing most people notice are her twelve eyes scattered across her face, each with white pupils and magenta irises. Adorning her forehead is a thick Rhinoceros' horn that keeps her hair parted and helps to muddy her species on a gaze. Her teeth are not only extremely crooked but serrated. Elfin features shared with her mother are soft skin, almond eyes, blonde hair, and her pointed ears. Her nose is wide and flattened. Tabitha has long fingers, with sharp, strong claws at the end of each. In this form, she fancies loose fitted, colorful clothing with cute logos and lovely feminine skirts or dresses. Josie
In her glamoured form, Tabitha is taller and more shapely. Strikingly different from her natural appearance, there are some minor similarities that Tabitha kept, including the almond-shaped eyes and her overall facial structure. Eyes a lighter shade than her standard form, sitting more at lilac than magenta. Here, her eyes are pupilless, and the eyeliner she wears is thick and meant to accentuate her lashes better and give her a cats eye. Josie's hair is much shorter and more manageable like this, held into high, tight pigtails the same shade of pink that the underside of her hair is in her original form. Her hair frames her face sharply and cuts off just at her eyebrows. On her right bangs are strips of color: orange, darker pink, and light pink. When let loose, Josie's hair falls just below her shoulders and is heavily feathered. Her skin isn't blue, but rather standard caucasian based on her mother. She is always wearing her choker in this form, as it is what possesses the magic that keeps her looking this way. Josie is leggy, with a prominently sharp waist, a large bust, and a well-toned rear. Her choice of clothing is much more promiscuous, with a preference for showing off her legs and giving a nice view of her cleavage. |
Personality
❝Somewhere between love and hate lies confusion, misunderstanding and desperate hope.❞ ― Shannon L. Alder
Tabitha is almost two distinctly different people. This isn't any mental disorder, but rather a disguise that Tabitha has carefully crafted during her time on Manta Carlos. Josie, her glamoured form, is confident and alluring. She's a partier through and through who isn't afraid to get into people's faces and make a scene. Based on people and personality traits that Tabitha has deemed will make her cool.
Josie is very appearance conscious to the point that she comes off vapid and shallow, the kind of attractive girl who would make fun of the nice guy for asking her out. She seems like your stereotypical teenage mean girl.
The reality is much sadder. Tabitha hates herself and modeled Josie off what she assumed would make others love her. As a child, she was regarded with wariness and cruelty due to her appearance compared to her Elfin kingdom. Where most princesses were thought to be beautiful, Tabitha was not, and she was never disillusioned into believing so.
By nature, Tabitha is sweet and shy. She is wary of kindness shown to her and is always ready to be made fun of.
She is very helpful and protective of others, always the first to lend a hand even when it will inconvenience her.
None of this is helped by Tabitha's mental illnesses, and while this doesn't define her as a person, it certainly helps to color her. When she's on a manic cycle, she's on top of the world and ambitious, taking on assignment after assignment. She speaks quickly and cannot stop moving.
But during her depressive stages, there are many days she can barely get out of bed. She's near catatonic and will not eat, or speak unless somehow forced to do so. She doesn't cry in this state but rather stares blankly.
Abilities
Actives
Charmed Self: Tabitha has a charmed choker she can use to change her shape to Josie.Lethal Bite: Tabitha's venom is associated with the Komodo dragon.
Tabitha's venom is rich in toxins that stop the blood from clotting and keep a victim bleeding. This venom wouldn't be very useful if not for Tabitha's long, serrated teeth which she uses to hook on and create long, messy wounds leading her victim to go into shock from blood loss.
Tabitha's jaw strength isn't impressive. The strength of her bite lies in her neck and skull, the ability to pull her head back and rip chunks of flesh free.
She is a predator that relies on sudden swift movements to bite, tear, give her venom, and pull back to wait and minimize her contact with the enemy.
Tabitha can choose when she releases her venom. The symptoms include dizziness/tiredness, upset stomach, and headaches until the venom wears off in seventy-two hours.
Reflective Illusions: Tabitha can create illusions when she is hidden within a reflective surface (see reflective travel). She can shift and stretch her form, make the reflection of whoever is looking bloody and create body horror effects. These are only tricks of the mind and cannot play with any of the other senses beyond sight.
Reflective Travel: Tabitha possesses the unique ability to travel through reflective surfaces, using them as a type of portal or different dimension than our own. She can effortlessly glide into this dimension when any reflective surface is within her sight. Once inside she can travel or teleport to any other reflective surface that is in her range of sight.
When whatever she's in is attacked, Tabitha is thrown from the dimension back into reality. The recharge for this ability is three seconds.
Passives
Enhanced Eyesight: Tabitha can see flawlessly in the dark. Due to multiple eyes, Tabitha has a three-sixty view around herself and can accurately tell the distance an object is from her location; she can see at a distance twice as far as the average person.In the day her vision is blurry and she is naturally farsighted. Prolonged exposure to bright lights will give Tabitha intense migraines.
Enhanced Hearing: Tabitha's ears are much better than humans, she can hear ultrasonic and infrasonic sounds, like the heartbeat of a baby in a mother's stomach, the high-pitched wail of a dog whistle, or the trimmer of an oncoming earthquake.
These sounds don't hurt Tabitha's ears, but in crowds, she becomes disoriented and unable to focus on one thing.
Glass Claws: Tabby's claws when used to scratch someone feels as though glass has cut the skin and cause prickling, stinging sensations. Tabitha's scratches and clawings leave small particles of glass in the wound, which can be seen in the light. These are not magic in nature and effect a person just as standard, tiny bits of glass in a wound would.
Longevity: Tabitha can live much longer than a human.
Natural Resistance to Magic: Tabitha has an innate resistance to passive and mental magic, not only able to see through things like illusions and glamours if she focuses but with the ability to sense when such magic is being used around her. Passive magic is only twenty-five percent as efficient on her as it is the majority of people.
Weaknesses
Imperfect Disguises: No matter the charm, glamour, or illusion Tabitha attempts to put on herself (the exception to the rule is her reflective magic) they never quite work as intended. Tabitha can only use them for a short time.The further the magic is from her natural shape, the more uncomfortable she is made to be. When she is taller, bustier, skinnier, etc. she feels stretched out or compact and achy. She can only be charmed for three hours at a time. Afterward, she requires an hour cooldown before she can use her charmed appearance again.
To make matters worse, any glass reflection of her shows her true form. This is not a problem that can be fixed or has a workaround.
Meat Consumption: As a predator, Tabitha prefers meat (which she can eat raw or cooked) to vegetables or fruits. She loathes sweets of all kind. Her taste buds are not as developed as most humans, and her body requires twice the amount of protein than her small frame would suggest. She cannot taste complex foods.
Muscle Mass: Tabitha is small and very lightweight. She has no hidden supernatural strength or speed that makes her an extra threat. In a hand to hand fight, she would lose to almost anyone, hands down.
History
CW: mentions of underage pregnancy & infant death○ Growing up Tabitha was rejected by the kingdom, who were wary of her monstrous appearance and the fact that her father had turned out to be a creature of nightmare. Later, her reputation was further sullied by the kingdoms assumption that her mother was a murderer and Tabitha would follow in her footsteps.
○ By her thirteenth year, signs of her disorder were showing through more and more. It wasn't long before Tabitha took off with an older boy from a different land. She kept no contact with her brother or her mother during this time, having cut herself completely out of their life.
○ By fourteen she was pregnant and birthed a healthy baby boy whom she named Bran after her brother. The boy she had run off with left her at that point, and Tabitha struggled to raise her newborn on her own. Bran died of SIDS before reaching a year old, leaving Tabitha devastated.
○ Returning home, Tabby found her family was gone after and uprising. Following the clues that were left for her, Tabitha found the teleportation gem with her stuffed doll Tib, wrapped in her brother's favorite scarf. She didn't hesitate to use it and come to Manta Carlos.
Resources
Lives with her mother, Isa, and Alex Drakenhardt.
Extra
○ Has several undiagnosed mental illnesses. She likely does not even realize this.○ Has a handmade toy named Tib, that her mother gave her as a child and a hand mirror.
