=Physique=

• Height: 5 ft. 6 in. (In socks) 5 ft. 8 in. (In boots)
  
• Weight: 128-132 lbs. (Without heavy attire)
  
• Build: She is small in figure, like most girls. Her stomach is muscular, along with her calves, and forearms. Just slight muscle, though. She's mainly slender, but can adequately defend herself or others in tough situations.
  

• Eye color: Navy-ish orchid. Her eyes change between these colors on occasion, during different seasons.
  
• Hair color: Silver, metallic looking haze blue, fog/mist colored.
  
• Hair style: Smooth, bangs round off just above her eyes, and make a crescent-like motion down to her ears. The length is long and straight, and flows down to her lower back.
  
• Skin color: Fair tan. She only appears pale from her black clothing and light colored hair.
  
• Recognizable marks: On her lower back, on the left side of her hip, she has small (about 3 inches tall and wide) a black, gothic-styled rose, entangled with black thorns tattoo. Her right hand's trigger finger has a tiny, tiny dove tattoo on the end of it. (Psychologically, she can make herself believe that the person she is about to kill will benefit peace.) Across her arms are faint scars, weaved and curved, obviously from self-abuse.
  
• Clothing: A large, leather trenchcoat- with a high collar and tight waistline. This conceals most of her weapons. A black, tight undershirt that is tucked in a pair of obsidian leather shorts, and of course, black belt. She has thigh-high black leather boots, with buckles at the top of each. She also styles with a pair of golden cross earrings.
  

• Likes: Action, playing pool, having close companions, music, guns, and discussions.
  
• Dislikes: Interior decorating (o,o), pessimists, ignorance, and overkilling.
  
• Personality: She is cool and funny around her older friends. She had just gotten her degree to be an instructor, and is not used to the adult life. She is cold and cruel when assigned a mission. She rarely removes her jacket, ashamed of her scars. Very stealthy, she sees it as her duty to- make friends, make a living, and make it through life.
  
• Quote: "Retribution is much better obtained -after- you pick up a machine gun from the local pawnbroker" Or "You must understand, we -have- to stay relatively detatched in order to help..."
  
• Character history:
  

  Early in life, Tiera grew up with her father, and cousin. Yes, this sounds odd, but the story behind it is that Lyihel (Pronounced: "Lee-ai-hel"), Tierra's mother, had been a high-class mercenary. Because of this, her mother was never home. Her father had told her dozens of stories on how Lyihel had gone about her job, and magnifiscent tales of violence and solitude, that pleased Tiera's ears. The stories sparked her sense for danger, exitement, and even more than those- violence.
  
  Her father and cousin grew her up by teaching her the ways of life. They taught her how to shoot, how to maneuver, and played those childhood "War" games. She was taught at home, until she was about 9 years of age, and attended school at the proper grade. It was at age 11 she got word of her mother...
  
  She remembered being taken out of school that day, and brought home by her father. At home, he explained to the young child that her mercenary mother had been killed on a mission. With her only hero gone, this sent the girl to shock, and later on, depression. Her father noticed her actions were colder, and she didn't talk like the other children. She refused to leave her room unless it was for school reasons, thus causing her to lose weight from barely eating.
  
  Around 14, she was officially considered rebellious and morbid. Dressing in all black, barely talking, all she cared to do was push herself until she was like her mother, and punished herself, physically, if she did not accomplish her designated tasks. This is the cause of her embarassment of her arms, and the reason why she rarely removes her coat. As she got older, her mental and physical state were questioned as being sane, until she was drug back to reality in the event of her cousin's death. She had been practicing target shooting with him, and his gun misfired. Particles of the gun exploded, and cut across his throat, instantly killing him.
  
  Tiera realized what is going on in the world, being zapped back to reality by her cousin's death. She pressed herself into becoming a mercenary, or teacher of mercenaries. After aging some, at age 23 she decided to be an instructor, and joined Scarlet Gardens. Now, she presently teaches young adults to achieve their goals in life.
  

• Weapon(s): A koosh ball she made in highschool. This is no ordinary koosh-ball looking item. It has tiny needles attached to each of the tiny rubber strings.
