[b]Name:[/b] Tanith "Tanya" Senatore
[b]Age:[/b] 19

[b]Bio:[/b] Born in a small, amicable family, Tanith's life was an interesting adventure for her parents and her older brother. Unlike them, she was conceived with a genetic mutation caused by unknown means that resulted in her abnormal anatomy. Although they were both shocked and confused by the news the doctor provided, her parents decided to keep her as a child instead of giving her up for scientists to be a human test subject. 
Her childhood was somewhat awkward, but could still be considered to be good. Raised to be sweet and gentle with people, Tanith managed to overcome most of the prejudices she received from her other, normal classmates. She was never popular, as any attempt to upset her with her appearance dwindled when they were confronted by an upbeat attitude and a bright smile. One of her classmates even came up with the nickname "Tanya" when he heard it on TV, saying that it was simpler to say than Tanith. Agreeing with his reasoning, she soon began using it to the point where even her family called her that way. 
When she was beginning high-school, she recognized a face on an old poster, refering to an old criminal. When she brought it up to her brother, he agreed that the man indeed looked like their previous neighbour, who moved away when she was 1 year old. The man in question, a retired chemist who developed devices for other evil-doers, had turned himself in for an unknown reason. Tanya asked around and, after a considerable amount of time, managed to arrange a meeting with him: the man, Gaston Turner, had agreed to the reunion when he heard that she was the little, mutated baby that lived right next to him. When they saw each other, Gaston was quick to explain the origins of her condition: the residues of his products had affected her mother's pregnancy, resulting in Tanya's condition.
The moment Gaston realized it was his fault, an overwhelming feeling of guilt took over and made him confess his deals to the police, along with the names of a great number of his business partners, in order to make amends for it. Seeing that Tanya was doing fine, Gaston was very relieved and wished her luck in life. It wrecked Tanya's feelings to learn that, just a few days after the meeting, Gaston had committed suicide. After mourning his death, Tanya decided to finish wrapping up the results of Turner's change of heart and, with her parent's permission, she entered the Hero School.
[b]Ability:[/b] [i]Draconic Visage:[/i] Tanya's body possesses several qualities that one would commonly associate with a dragon:
[list][*] Scales: Some parts of Tanya's body are covered in auburn scales, namely her hands, forearms and most of her back and legs. They're notably durable and resistant. In addition...
[*] Claws: Tanya's fingertips have taken the shape of short, sharp claws. They make for good weapons, but otherwise they're cumbersome for daily chores.
[*] Feet: Tanya's feet have been described many times as feral, their ankle being in a slighty higher position than normal and both of them posessing three thick fingers instead of the normal five. In addition, her feet also have a claw on each finger and a sharp protuberance just below her ankle. As a result, her position naturally adjusts itself in order to mantain balance.
[*] Horns: Tanya sports a couple of large horns, made of the same material than her scales.
[*] Increased Body Mass: As a result of her scales and horns, Tanya's despectively heavy for her build.
[*] Enhanced Strength and Agility: Taking in account the additional weight it bears, Tanya's body has naturally developed its muscles in order to deal with the increased mass. Thanks to this, and to a regular work-out routine, Tanya is slightly stronger and faster than an average human
[*] High Body Temperature: Tanya's body temperature is a couple of degrees higher than that of a normal human. This leads to a natural resistance to both hot and cold temperatures.
[*] Enhanced Senses: Overall, Tanya's hearing, smell and sight are quite good. However, her sense of touch is notably dull, hampering Tanya's ability to sense temperature
[*] Enhaced Immunological System: Self-explanatory, her biological defenses are notably high.
[*] Chemical incompatibility: As a result of her wildly mutated anatomy, most chemicals will work differently on her than on normal persons, having either an increased, diminished , or even an abnormal effect on Tanya. [/list]
