"Eat it ya lop eared son of an Arse knot"

- Tamela

Appearance:
Standing at 5’6 Tamela Has long brown hair which lightens to blonde near the tips. Most often it’s done in a twin tails look with beehive buns at the base of the tails. she has dark Grey eyes and her skin is a rich dark caramel colour. Tamela has a large chest, big hips and thick thighs. While not obvious at first Tamela is a little squishy.

Tamela’s outfit consists of a bright gold hoodie, with a somewhat oversized hood. Over this she wears a black vest. Her shorts go down to mid thigh and are heavily torn. One leg is black while the other is striped black and yellow. Thigh high black and yellow striped socks complete the look along with calf high black boots.

Personality:
Tamela is a very perky individual, often seeming the most ‘happy’ member of her team. She’s an unorganised slob, her room is always the messiest and she’s always the last one to get up in the morning. Often times she’s the one who’s forcing her team to look on the brighter side of things, and once her attention’s been captured she’s relentlessly curious. Tamela is hella gay and is in an on again off again friends with benefits relationship with her teammate Rusty, often being the one to brush her tail in the morning.

Despite her hard childhood, Tamela, is all in all, a very happy and perky individual, oftentimes running around, loving life in general, and the people in it. Despite this she still does her best for those she left behind when she became a Huntress.

Weapon:
“Nectar and Pollen” Tamela’s weapons are a pair of Automatic Crossbows. The base of the stock is signed in gold filigree with the respective weapon’s name. The special thing about Nectar and Pollen is the bolts fired from them. Each bolt is designed to penetrate and lodge into whatever surface it hits. After doing so they’re very very difficult to remove. The base of each bolt is forged from a mixture of gold and platinum making a highly conductive base. Combined with that, every bolt has a large reserve of lightning dust held within.

At any time Tamela can trigger the Lightning dust within any of the bolts which will then seek out any other bolts in the area to magnify and grow the power of the Lightning strike caused from the triggering of the Lightning Dust. A simple way to think about it is that the more bolts within a close range of one another, the greater in magnitude the power of the Strike Tamela can cause. A rough estimate shows that each consecutive bolt doubles the power of the previous sum total of energy. With the base being a powerful bolt of lightning.

As a secondary form Nectar and Pollen both turn into conductive Lightning batons. These batons act as lightning rods, taking in and absorbing the power of oncoming Lightning attacks, holding and redirecting them at or into someone.

Semblance:
Tamela’s semblance is known as “Queen Bee.” When activated a pair of Runic Bee’s Wings made of glowing golden light form on Tamela’s back and begin flapping. These Wings constantly send out waves of golden energy which take the form of specks of golden light in the air. These specks of Pollen spread out for 50 meters around Tamela, and anything which is struck by Tamela’s Pollen are then ‘tracked.’

When someone is ‘tracked’ Tamela’s attacks gain a form of tracking towards that person. Meaning her attacks will begin to track towards that person, however they’re unable to make hard curves. Meaning usually her bolts will curve and move towards her target. “Queen Bee” lasts for 15 minutes before dissipating and won’t be able to be re-activated for 5 minutes.

History:
When Tamela was born she was soon abandoned by her parents for unknown reasons. Even today she doesn’t know anything about them aside from the fake names that they provided to the hospital when she was born.

After being looked after in the hospital for as long as they were legally allowed to hold her for, Tamela was then released into foster care. Tamela’s early life was being one of 10 kids in one family and being the youngest at that. Oftentimes she was either overlooked or ignored entirely, leading to her acting up to try and get someone to pay attention to her.

This lead to her ‘parents’ thinking she was more trouble than she was worth. This then lead to Tamela bouncing around foster homes for several years, either running away from or getting kicked out of them.

At the age of thirteen she was busted when breaking into a weapon smith at a local combat school, and stealing one of the half finished pieces. Using scrap she found on streets and her relentlessly curiosity and tinkering mind, she was able to put the rest of the weapon together adding her own dramatic flare to it.

Post the creation of her weapon Tamela begun doing her best to look after the local street children, taking some either under her protection or giving food to those who needed something. From this she developed a reputation as the ‘Queen Bee’ of the Vale underground, keeping kids fed through petty thievery and breaking and entering.

After awhile Tamela started to understand that there was only so much she could do to help her kids while she was just a petty street criminal. So paying a large amount of her savings to some back alley asshole, she acquired a set of forged documents which would hopefully allow her to become a huntress, and possibly, feed the kids that she loves.

After graduating Beacon Tamela spent time, doing Merc work and sending most of what she earned back to her family, when they were living comfortably as they could, she moved in with Rusty becoming a waitress at her parents Burlesque bar. She still sends a large portion of each pay check to her family, however now the money she sends was acquired ‘legally.’

After the Fall of Beacon, Tamela like the rest of her team Decided to stay in Vale and do whatever she could to help.
