Description
(Apologies for the sloppy coloring; it's hard with a mouse, and this is just a reference for what the colors generally look like. I swear I won't hate you if you don't get the correct shade of purple, or whatever.)(P.S. That squiggly thing she's hand-standing on is supposed to be the top of a horse...I tried for legs and failed.)
TABBY
Full name: Tabitha Popescu.
Age: 16.
Mental age: Probably closer to 7.
Hair: Black, curly and unruly.
Eyes: Green.
Skin: Darkish.
Height: short.
Weight: Featherweight.
Appearance: Wears purple skintight leotard, rusty-red striped tights, black slip-ons, and light khaki pants with a belt around her waist. Around her neck since like forever is a necklace, with a green marble that has a feather through it. Has the body of a twelve-year-old.
Ethnicity: Romanian/gypsy/Eastern European-ish.
Occupation: Circus performer.
Special Abilities: Her main talent is the supernatural/magical ability to change her weight at will to make her literally as light as a feather. This helps when falling from high distances, but leaves her vulnerable to the slightest gusts of wind. She's more or less mastered this ability over the years, and can also use it to make very high jumps, and when thrown or otherwise launched/shot/projected, can manipulate her weight to soar like a cannonball.
But since she's also overeager and sometimes kind of a ditz she occasionally loses control of it.
She grew up in the circus, so she's also had plenty of time to learn different tricks from her friends, and is very acrobatic, flexible, skilled at knife-throwing, horse-riding, sword-swallowing, juggling flaming torches, and generally weird stuff to keep the audience entertained.
I'm guessing she's the only person auditioning for this competition who openly admits to liking clowns. THEY'RE PEOPLE TOO!
Family: Her grandmother, Zorah the fortuneteller, who she was raised by and now lives with in her gypsy caravan. She is very unexcitable and speaks only Romanian (which makes for very interesting, mysterious fortunes).
Friends: Anton the Strong Man, Bruno the circus bear, Erika the Bearded Lady, among others. But those are the ones I included in my audition. They're pretty protective of her, but usually can't stop her from doing what she wants. ...Usually because she can outrun them.
(Colored refs of minor characters: [link] )
Personality: She's really pretty playful and childish, having grown up in the circus, of all places, and graced with the ability to jump around and float at will. This made her pretty invincible, as a kid, and she's as fearless (about heights and such) now as she was then.

CLOWNS ARE NOT PEOPLE. THEY'RE HORRIBLE CREATURES OF UNFATHOMABLE VILLAINY AND SHOULD ALL BE SHIPPED BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
Also, cool job on the comic. A talent show indeed... XD
