Name: Cheyenne “The tattoo lady” Yates Age: 23 Gender: Female Appearance: [img=http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/58/9d/e8/589de8a81229de4bc3cd445f1310e4c5.jpg] Though she has left her face untouched, almost every inch of her body from the neck down is covered in various tattoos. She is naturally pale, with black hair and striking blue eyes. She almost always wears dresses or high waist shorts, usually going for a pin up look as it shows more skin, and contrasts with the image of a woman covered in tats. Abilities: Acrobatics & Contortion- she is skilled in dance, gymnastics, and aerobatics as well. She does less juggling and diving, though she can do those feats if requested. She is more skilled at tightrope walking, trapeze, and other balance acts like riding the backs of the elephants, giant balls, and on the shoulders of other performers. She can twist her body into various shapes using her contortion, only showing off more of her tattoos as she moves and bends. Personality: She is soft spoken but smiles a lot. She tends to think before speaking, and would much rather be looked at than touched or spoken to. Her body’s appearance and abilities allow a breaking of the ice she has trouble with herself. She is not the most social, though she is loveable and kind. She would find it hard to harm a spider much less a person. Bio: Chey was born to a mother and father who were very much into the metal scene. Her father was in a band, a guitarist, and her mother travelled with him, bringing Chey along. Honestly the metalheads she encountered were some of the nicest people she’d ever met. They treated the little girl very kindly, especially since she was always polite. It was quite a contrast to see two, tatted up parents with unruly hair and gauged ears with a little girl looking innocent and bright eyed, usually wearing a prim, clean dress. Things always change though, and Chey’s father got into drugs. He overdosed when she was six. After that, her mother kind of spiraled out of control. She began following other bands around, and trying to get backstage to meet them. Her mother got into drugs as well, leaving Cheyenne to care for herself often. One time she was trying to care for her mother when one of the men her mother had brought home from a concert tried something with her while her mother was completely out of it. After that, something in her changed. She didn’t want to be ‘pretty’ anymore. And she didn’t want to be around this ‘family’ anymore. She gathered up her belongings and what money they had, reflecting the agony of losing her parents to drugs through the art on her body. The bonus was it made men look at her funny instead of with desire anymore, as men had begun to scare her. This was when she was about 15-16 years old. She never lost the desire to be a part of a true family though, and found Grigori’s freak circus. She had always been double jointed and practiced contortion alone by herself as a sort of hobby, but had no idea the trait was marketable. She was accepted into the circus for her contortion, while learning acrobatics which they discovered she was naturally skilled at, from the aging acrobat the circus currently had. After several years now, Chey is great at her craft, completely covered in tattoos, and not afraid of people like she once was. She is still relatively shy, but enjoys entertaining, and being around other oddballs like herself.
