Physical Description: Tonny is a young woman of rather normal height- standing at about 3 or so inches above a typical female her age. She is sizable with an attractive frame, not too small or large in terms of flesh. Her bust size is considerable, but couldn't exactly be called that large. Her ears are sharp as are the shapes of her striking orange eyes. Her hair, which gradates from a shade of off-white to a light blue, is very long- stretching to the floor at times.
Her main fur color is a light, neutral, blue-ish gray, while her stripes and chest are a deeper, purple-ish blue. Her face is masked in this dark color, with the exception of under her eyes and a stripe on her muzzle. The backs of her ears are also strongly slathered with this dark color- and stripes deviate from it towards the edge of her ear, the inside of which is a light blue.
Being a striped hyena, she is covered head to toe in these dark stripes. Her nails are black, and her legs are digi-grade.
Niches/Unique Traits: [list]
[*]Tonny almost always has something covering her head, be it a baseball cap or bandanna- typically the latter. Though she can go without one, she prefers not to. (Bad hat hair.)
[*]She has a tendency to crack her knuckles constantly, and with the semi-annoyed look she constantly has on her face, it tends to be taken the wrong way.
[*]She distrusts and hates women- but only the ones that date her friends. She'll be fine with them until that chain is latched.
Typical Clothing: Tonny likes comfortable things. And she is certainly very comfortable in revealing her skin. Typically she will be wearing simple things- tanks, shorts, t-shirts, that sort of simple thing. But she will occasionally wear nice outfits. These nice outfits will almost never be dresses or bright, pretty pastels. She will mostly wear dark colors. She doesn't like shoes.
Unique Physical Attributes: A rather long tail for a striped, as is her hair. There are only two instances that she will actually trim her hair-
One, it drags the floor and collects dirt, leaves, and the occasional homeless person.
or Two, she can't see through her bangs anymore.
Personality Description: Tonny is a rather social individual. She likes to talk and loves to be heard- but she's not that against listening either. For awhile, that is- if you start to bore her, she either changes the subject or makes an excuse to stop talking. She loves to have friends- a group to fall back on, and is open to making new ones. But she's a little bit picky as to the ones she keeps around- and her best friends are normally the ones like her.
She's a generally nice person- she just happens to get easily frustrated, and at times has a hair-trigger temper if it's been a bad day. She is extremely stubborn and headstrong- once she has her mind set on something, it is very hard to shake her off of it.
Tonny is a bit eccentric- being very animated in her hand gestures when she speaks and facial expressions. She also tends to get loud when she gets comfortable, as well as a little bit silly. She isn't exactly all that serious all the time- but she can get there when she needs to...sort of.
She has a tendency to be very sarcastic and will make snarky comments outright-- she doesn't have that great of a mental filter. Also, there's her issue of her pride- which almost totally restrains her from apologizing for anything, or admitting she is wrong.
She also dislikes getting very emotional to anyone but a close friend- which she will cry to in a heartbeat. Otherwise, she tries to keep her emotions of sadness or angst to herself- but with her quick temper and easy frustration with things, it can be hard.
History:Tonny was born in a little town on the outskirts of the city. It was not terribly well known as anything other than "that town you gotta pass through to get to the city". She lived in a small, dingy little house, three bedrooms, two bath and one story. Her mother died in childbirth, and she was left with only her father and his inter-changeable girlfriends.
Tonny loved her father. She hated 90% of all of his girlfriends. That man had no taste in women as far as she was concerned. Needless to say, if Tonny didn't approve, they didn't stay- whether her father wanted them to or not.
Her father and herself, however, had a loving father/daughter relationship. She was her daddy's boy and her own girl, doing the job of a son more than a daughter to make it easier on him.
Needless to say, as the only daughter of a single father with constantly changing girlfriends, Tonny had to practically teach herself how to get along in the world as a female. She had a little occasional help from the 10% of the girlfriends she liked for a long as they stayed- which wasn't saying much.
Luckily, she was made all the tougher by being "Daddy's boy" as opposed to "Daddy's little girl".
Her father was not particularly wealthy, but he had a very modest income- more than enough to send her to school. It was in mid third grade year that he began to notice Tonny's problems.
She became frustrated when she would read and write- she couldn't keep up in class when it came time for english. Her writing was almost another language entirely. Math was also an increasing difficulty. She was soon diagnosed with Dyslexia and put into special classes. Tonny despised these classes with her entire being- hated being considered "different" or "stupid", as she believed. However, she was able to get through her early years of school and soon began to improve in her academics. She came to better deal with her dyslexia and her mistakes began to lessen as she aged- but most of the time it was still apparent.
Despite her bumpy roads in school, Tonny had a rather smooth childhood and a healthy relationship with her father.
That is, until he betrayed her.
Tonny had always been good at getting rid of the unwanted women that would come into the house- the ones that weren't wary of Tonny as the first primary female figure, the ones that automatically thought they were "mommy", the one's that butted heads with Tonny's hot temper. She was also always good at letting her father know who bothered her, and getting him to agree.
But not this time.
The woman was Sandra Palsay, a racy little red-fox that had stolen her father's heart with her good looks and kind-hearted personality. Tonny, currently aged 16, had actually grown to like her. For the most part, she was understanding and patient. She was good at helping Tonny with more "girly stuff" that was too strange to talk to her dad about. It was nice finally having another woman around who could balance out Tonny's need for a male and female guardian.
Until the phone call.
Turns out her father's heart wasn't the only thing Sandra stole.
Tonny had been looking for the phone to call a friend- just for a friendly chat to beat away boredom. That was when she heard Sandra on the phone talking. Not just to anyone, however.
Sandra was talking to her pimp.
Tonny's father had been easy pickings. He was kind, a single parent, needy and trusting with an average income. He wouldn't suspect that she would be after his money- after all, he didn't have all that much. But Sandra knew that money was money. And she was going to drain him of every penny he had.
With her new found information about her father's girl, Tonny rushed to him about Sandra and told him all she had heard- intent on getting him away from her before she could hurt him.
But he wouldn't hear it. He was deeply under Sandra's spell. He refused to believe Tonny, and refused to get rid of her.
This devastated Tonny- and ultimately ended her healthy relationship with her father-- and, of course, Sandra. Sandra had heard that Tonny was onto her- but her cold heart prevented her from being mean to her. Oh no- it was much better to just continue things like they had been before.
And it successfully drove Tonny nuts.
It progressed to the point where Ton would lash out physically at her- causing her father to punish her. This lead to Tonny progressively acting out- staying out later than allotted, stealing, lying- all things she knew would anger her father to try and show him how upset his betrayal of his daughter's trust had made her.
This had the opposite effect. He became increasingly annoyed and eventually plain fed-up with her behavior. They spoke and interacted less and less, but to try and protect her father- and, secretly to herself, be able to show that she was right when it all came crashing down- she stayed.
Stayed until she heard about the wedding.
The wedding was the last straw. Tonny was 17 when her father revealed the engagement and, in shock and horror, she broke into angry tears and pleaded with her father to believe her. If he married Sandra, she would ruin and then leave him. After turning down this truth again- Tonny had enough.
She left for the city on the eve of her father's birthday, four weeks before the wedding.
She has not spoken to him since, and has no knowledge of how he and his new wife are doing- nor does she allow herself to care.
(Again, history is subject to be altered to fit the roleplay)
LikesShe loves to dance, sing, write and cook. Too bad she burns everything, no one could read what she writes, and sings like a mule being strangled.
One out of four isn't.....terrible?
Because she was raised as her daddy's "boy", she also has a fondness for fixing and building things and physical sports. Though she does have a sort of stronger love for boyish things, she is still a girl. She likes to look good and likes to shop- that is, when she has money.
Other things include:
- Winning.
- Being right.
- Video games
- Having friends to confide in.
- Shiny things. They're just....shiny.
- A drink now and then is appreciated.
Dislikes:She does not like people to challenge her knowledge, or skills.
Yes. Even the ones she sucks at. Shh, don't say anything- she thinks she's good.
Ton also hates thinking back to things she did wrong- or embarrassing moments. The obvious moment she hates thinking back to is when her father denied her knowledge about her soon-to-be-stepmother. Because of her tendency to push past things in the past- she hates having to come to terms with anything.
Other things include:
- She's not a big fan of lovey-dovey romance.
- She also hates to read due to her dyslexia.
- Awkward silences.
- Extremely girly girls
- Lisps- oh GOD lisps.
- One-track-minded men. Because she knows quite well what is on that track.
- The dentist.
- Crying in public.
- Her middle name
Mental Abnormalities:Dyslexia - From birth. Mostly centered in letter and number reversal, poor spelling, and slow reading. Her dyslexia is not severe enough to effect her speech.
Arachnophobia - Crippling. Adopted from childhood after she crawled into her attic to help her father with moving unused things out to sell and exited- only to find she was covered in baby spiders. She freezes up at the sight of spiders and will not move for anything- may begin to shiver or cry uncontrollably.
Bad Habits:Bad Habits:
Tonny is easily frustrated, which makes it hard getting along sometimes when she does things. Sometimes she will leave a project for days before finally coming back because she doesn't want to burn it in one of her annoyed fits. She has trouble committing to things because of this- which is one of the reasons she can't exactly hold down a job for very long.
That and her less-than-stellar people skills.
She will tend to get irked if her attempted kindness is not returned when she first meets someone- which, needless to say, doesn't get you many buddies.
She is adamant and bull-headed about things to a fault. A BIG fault. She will fight you to the death if she thinks she's right about something. You can't change that girl's mind for nothing unless you have hard proof. This leads to her sounding a biiit ignorant at times.
She's also prideful, which leads her to be the slightest bit snarky and pissy when she's proved wrong about something.
Because of how her past nose-dived, Tonny doesn't like women. Now- she will be perfectly friendly to them...as long as they aren't dating any of her friends. As soon as her friends get a date with a female- she is put to the back burner.
She also is very unorganized and scatterbrained. She's not prone to keep any area she occupies clean. Not clean in the sense that things are nasty and dirty- but in the sense that things are thrown about and disorganized. There will be times that she will finally get so fed up with her own disorganization that she just has to fix things up. It stays that way for about three days.
