Tafnide

Tafnide is a hybrid character who exists far into the future of the Boundless Fantendoverse, she is an Excavator, an individual who specializes in harvesting areas for minerals. Along with her best friend, Boo Tie, they often visit ancient planets to search out possible scraps of minerals that may have been left behind long ago. Tafnide is also the inheritor of Great Ancestral Magic a form of magic that's passed down through her family's lineage for generations.
==Appearance==
Tafnide is a hybrid of numerous species, although it's unknown which specifically the most dominant is her Toy-Droidella ancestry which like others gives her a short stature and a somewhat robotic appearance. She has small simple-shaped limbs with her legs ending in rounded points and her hands being bulbous with three fingers and a thumb on each. Unlike true Toy-Droidella however, Tafnide has a horn that sprouted from her head when she was younger, it is unknown the genetic origin of this horn although Tafnide maintains it by frequently carving it down giving it a blade-sharp striking edge. Also unlike Toy-Droidellas, Tafnide has long flowing fiery-red hair which has been attributed to various Fire Elementals in her lineage, although unlike her ancestors, Tafnide's hair does not generate heat through its fibers.
Tafnide wears a black-winged mask over her face, although her dark orange eyes are visible through the mask. She also wears a zig-zag skirt with golden clasps and a rim around its base. The skirt also has a ruffled collar which covers Tafnide's neck and shoulders. Lastly, Tafnide has a Drill Bit attached at the end of her hair, while being an effective counterweight to hold her hair in place she can easily remove it and use it for excavating or as a weapon in combat.
==Personality==
Tafnide has an extremely bubbly and positive personality, being eager to tackle any situation head on when challenged, however she is also easily scared by creepy creatures in particular the subterranean worms that are common on certain planets. Due to her immaturity she's also a bit blunt in her words, often revealing her motives unwittingly to others when they're better left unheard. When excavating she is known to sometimes hum an old company tune she'd heard from long ago, Boo Tie will often chime in alongside her although this often attracts unwanted attention from things that lurk below.
When relaxing from work, Tafnide is rather unfrugal and can easily blow all her money on frivolities in particular her collection of Micro-Warriors, fortunately Boo Tie will often reel Tafnide back from this and is usually the one to handle the duo's finances.
==Abilities==
Tafnide's main abilities revolve around her role as an Excavator, she is able to quickly dig away large areas of earth and use the drill bit attached to her hair to shear through large blockades. She also has an implanted metallurgical sensor which helps her to detect precious metals within a short range of her location, although for longer ranges she has to rely on Boo Tie. Despite her rapid digging ability, Tafnide's strength is very low, as described by Boo Tie, her punches are like being hit by a stuffed animal, as such Tafnide tends to outright avoid combat against anything too large or rely on her other ability.
Tafnide's second ability is her Great Ancestral Magic, it is unknown the specific origin of the ability although its ability to be passed down through her family lineage would suggest that it's at least partially of Snail Dragon origin. Tafnide, when in a crisis is able to call upon powerful magic from her ancestors, this typically manifests as either a single magic attack or changes Tafnide's form to an aspect of one of her ancestors, the ability is however extremely draining for Tafnide who often becomes too tired to continue fighting after using the ability for more than a few minutes.
==Relationships==
===Boo Tie===
Boo Tie is Tafnide's best friend, the two are colleagues who work together to excavate planets for their minerals with Tafnide being the brawn of the operation and Boo Tie being the brains. Tafnide and Boo Tie's history extends back to when they were children as they would often play together and go on little adventures around their homeland, although Boo Tie can come off more serious than Tafnide the two have a very jovial sort of dialogue between them, often having a hard time being overly concerned about a situation and having faith that they'll get through anything with ease.
===Plasmayo===
Plasmayo is Tafnide and Boo Tie's (reluctantly) pet, Tafnide adopted Plasmayo when she was younger in what has been described by her as a "moment of weakness", Tafnide often attempts to dress-up Plasmayo much to Boo Tie's (and Plasmayo's) disagreement, she also tends to try to get Plasmayo to come travel with them, and while Plasmayo doesn't seem to have any trouble visiting job sites, they are very sluggish (no pun intended) when it comes to being taken for walks. Despite being sometimes over-loved by Tafnide, Plasmayo does hold a strong bond with her and has in the past protected her from attacks when she's exhausted herself.
