Sima

Sima is an Australian Sugar Glider who works as a successful detective travelling from city to city in order to solve their biggest cases.
==Appearance==
Sima is a slender Sugar Glider, of average height, who is always found wearing a khaki trench coat, gloves, boots. To top her outfit off, she wears a matching fedora and carries a bladed umbrella. 
She has amber yellow eyes, small mouth, and long, flowing hair, and a dark marking from her forehead down to her lower back. She typically stands leaning on one leg and one hand in her pocket.
==Personality==
A curious person, she never goes off and lets her curiosity get the best of her. She remains observant before asking any questions and will thoroughly sift through any answers she receives in her head.
Sima is also humble and quiet but does not become part of the background unless she wishes it. She possesses what many would consider to be a harsh sense of humor and as a result, often laughs to herself.
==History==
Sima was born far away from the city life and some time before industrial technology took hold. Without the hustle and bustle and judgmental citizens associated with city life, she expressed her thoughts freely to her family. Without the distraction of technology, she had the time to seek answers that only a young person would seek. "How? Why? When?"
In her early life, she discovered her ability to stop time. It was always with her, yet somehow it delayed in its manifestation. It was a trivial matter, for her curiosity turned into concentration on her power. 
Her family thought she was crazy, but pretended to believe her. This drove young Sima into the introverted lifestyle she leads now. It was only fair since her family openly mocked her when they thought she couldn't hear. So she listened and watched. Their praises seemed to be a mockery of what she could do. She became the very meaning of her name: "Listener."
Once she was old enough, she moved to the nearest city to escape her past and made herself a productive citizen. She joined the police force and using her skill, "Pausing," she became their best detective due to the sheer amount of time she could spend thinking about a case.
When alone, she managed to make a permanent "pause" around herself, giving her body infinite youth. To avoid arousing suspicion, she now moves from place to place, all while making the world, as she sees it, a better place.
==Powers==
Sima can pause time, completely, with general ease, and almost indefinitely if she is under no type of stress. This power quickly diminishes if she is in combat of any kind and would be lucky to get three to five seconds of time stoppage. If she decides to use this power during combat, she does it at a great cost to her energy levels. As such, this is usually a last ditch effort to survive.
While time is stopped, Sima can only interact with clothing and items on her person. She cannot move someone, touch them, can't break anything, and if she drops something she was already holding, she can no longer use it until time starts again. 
As a result of these limitations, this power is often used for purely observational and problem solving purposes.
==Abilities==
Being a Sugar Glider, Sima possesses the ability to glide and augments her ability with her trench coat, using it to catch more air than she could normally as she controls her descent. 
==Skills==
As a detective in local law enforcement, Sima has basic training in Muay-Thai and Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu, but is likely only able to handle two people at once before being overwhelmed. Still, that would be an extreme test of her skill and there's no guarantee she'd come out on top.
In addition, she has been taught to use a pistol with deadly accuracy and how to wield a baton. She substitutes the baton with a sharp edged umbrella for added damage. Taking into account for her prehensile tail makes for a deadly combatant.
Sima also has great negotiating skills, a knack for seeing through deception, is a cold interrogator, and, if all else fails, she can be quite the mediator in an attempt to deescalate a situation.
== Trvia ==
* Sima started out as a male in my head, but when she was drawn, her design was obviously female and I fell in love with the new concept.
* "Sima" means "Listener."
* She only wears a fedora and trench coat because I wanted an excuse to learn how to draw one.
