Personal Questions
1. Describe your character's personality Tavi is a force. She is passionate and can be aggressive. With an idea or a goal in mind, she is narrow minded and focused. Most of the time though she stays away from things that would get her worked up, knowing that she can be baited into showing her feelings. She is bored easily and will look for trouble in any form.
2. Describe how your character would appear to a stranger (I.E. typical dress, way they carry themselves etc.)Tavi wears street fashion but stays away from too many things that would slow her down. She wears a modified straitjacket as a motorcycle jacket that has shady pines stenciled on the back. It sports an ever changing set of buttons along the straps. The buckles are now cosmetic and the back closures are actually snapped on instead. The extra hand covering is folded or pushed back and arm straps and clipped on to another snap further up the arm so it doesn't dangle or get in the way. Wears a gold chain with a platinum coated Spanish silver dollar hanging from it. Tavi has 8 earrings that have been pierced with silver but she occasionally gets other piercings done to wear like most people would wear temporary tattoos, therefore the metal she sports is ever changing.
3.What does your character like? Thunderstorms, anything fast, her Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 in red/black, Harry Potter, especially Lupin with his werewolf angst.

Life had never been normal for Octavia. According to what she was told, Tavi and her twin brother were nearly strangled at birth. That might explain why she can't stand to be smothered. Whatever, she doesn't like to think about it.
She was born into a world of werewolves surrounded by old ways and the fear of ever present malicious mulo. She was special, so they said, (whispered mostly when they thought she couldn't hear or wasn't listening) her and her brother both. Gifted so young, they should have died. They hadn't, so that meant the twins were destined for great things. They would accomplish what the Dragos and the Emilianos started. They would lead the Vyusher R'asa to glory and greatness.
Funny, most of the time Octavia, or Tavi as she was most often called, didn't feel great. Her mother had been antagonistic to her from the start of life. It was something she didn't quite understand. The same woman doted on her twin,Tobi, and nearly strangled him with the apron strings. (funny vision that, you'd think she'd know better considering how they were born) And her darling little girl? Loretta pushed her away every chance she got.
In the beginning it hurt. Her father, Vaughn, seemed more understanding but even he never gave her the love and attention that a child craved. He was the Sarkis; that was what she was always told. He loves you but he just has so much to do right now. That, at least, appeared to be the truth. Vaughn treated Tobi much the same way; though sometimes to her paranoid mind her father seemed to hold her brother a little longer and delight in his accomplishments (few though they were) just a little more.
As she grew older she simply accepted her fate. Tavi only spared a small glare in passing to the scenes of loving families around the campfire. No longer did she curl up into a shivering ball and silently cry herself to sleep at night. She was a loner and her affections and loyalty weren't given lightly.
She had learned early on not to care about things too much or want anything too openly. Her mother would sabotage those efforts the quickest. The one thing that Tavi openly loved was speed, knowing there was nothing that her mother could do about it. And Tobi, her carefree twin, Tavi refused to give him up much to Loretta's frustration. They were a team; it was them against the world. (at least in Tavi's mind. She tried very hard to never contemplate what she would do if he ever fell in love with someone and wanted to spend most of his time without her)
The R'asa had plans to gather people and the Kumpania was heading towards Nachton. She traveled on her andre for a while and then stayed in England for over a year. She enrolled in the police academy there. It might seem an odd occupation for her but she loved it. The thrill of the chase, getting to drive fast in the patrol cars, new situations. It was a dream job, most of the time.
When the Kumpania moved to the states and headed towards Nachton, Tavi met up with them and joined them. She was interested in this part of the plan and eager to see this city that stayed awake all hours of the night. She was also ready to see her brother again, they had been apart for too long.
