==The Dancing Treasures/Team Dancing Treasures==
This team of attractive belly dancers have been together for about a year now. Using their ancient cursed weaponry and dancing skills used as combat routines, they hunt for treasure and explore temples and ruins not even the bravest of the brave could wonder into.
==Backstory==
The three were first enemies when they all joined a dance competition in order to win a $10,000 prize. They all wanted that prize, not so much the bragging rights, for their own reasons. But push came to shove when a last second rule was slapped onto them - only teams are able to enter the contest. The three were the only competitors who had the same dance style, so they had no choice but to band together and take the competition by storm...However, it didn't go that easy at first. Carmen, the more hot headed member of the group, refused to work with Isabella, the happy-go-lucky air head lynx who ran away from her rich lifestyle in Spain to dance and sing in America. She apparently expected it all to be handed to her on a silver platter. Marisol on the other hand tried to make friends, but it only made the situation worse.
After weeks of getting nowhere, and only another week before the competition, the three had had enough of each other. Isabella, fed up with the others saying she couldn't pass for a petty thief, headed to a temple rumored to have treasure. Carmen, who had given up all hope in the first place, headed for the same temple to find some treasure to keep her in a hotel room. Not to mention fed. Meanwhile, Marisol knew the both of them would do something idiotic, and followed them there. After a lot of screaming and ranting in Spanish, a trap was set off by none other than Isabella. After nearly escaping with their lives, using ACTUAL team work, the three were able to sit down and talk things out, before preparing a routine and winning the dance competition.

==Marisol the Chihuahua==
Name: Marisol 
Age: 23
Species: Dog (Chihuahua)
Gender: Female
Partner: Alfie the Lion (Husband)
Weapons/Abilities: Marisol has two tambourines that she once found in a temple when she was still just a junior treasure hunter. The godly power locked away in them latches onto her own soul for support, and in return, it grants her intense powers when using the tambourines in battle. There are still hundreds of powers and moves that she hasn't quite understood, but she's confident that she will unlock the secrets very soon...
Marisol grew up in a middle class home in the heard of Mexico with her mother, father, 1 younger sister and 2 older brothers. Growing up, her mother was a dancer and her father was a mariachi. Ever since she could walk, her mothers been teaching her how to dance and sometimes, sing. At the age of 5 Marisol was dancing like a 20 year old. Her favorite instrument? Tambourines. After she and her siblings got older, their ather set out and joined his group again, and didn't return for quite some time, leaving Marisol to feel alone, and misguided at times. Slowly, she joined the wrong crowd, but managed to stay away from gang related activity, drugs, and prostitution when she couldn't find a suitable job. Her mother begged her not to become a hooker, or a drug dealer, for she was to proud of who Marisol had grown to be. Years past...And Marisol's father returned, greeting her and her sister, seeing as though her two brothers had married and moved out after finishing school. During his visit, he took Marisol and her sister to a small gathering, asking them if they would like to perform a live show. The two were scared stiff. but complied. They put on an amazing act and the crowd loved it! That's when Marisol knew, right then and there...there's nothing she would rather do then DANCE.
After practicing her english, another year passed and Marisol got ready to leave for America. She kissed her family members goodbye and caught a flight to a medium sized city. She was blown away...her first trip to America was going absolutely great...Soon, she met people, named Alex, Jason, Danny, and many others. But soon, things started to go South...
She was living in a hotel room, looking for a suitable, hopefully permanent home, but to no avail due to her budget. How in the world was she to do this?! But just then...as she flipped through the magazine, she saw an add for a trip to an ancient temple... Temple? A temple has a tomb...A tomb has...TREASURE.
It was simple. Get in, Take the treasure. Get out...Not so much .After nearly getting killed, she sprinted right back out of the temple, panting and mumbling in Spanish...When a familiar voice spoke to her...
It was Rouge the Bat, of all people, and with some stroke of luck, Marisol was able to get her to show her the ropes.
Another year passes. The two are teamed up and go for another temple together. THIS is where the CURSED tambourines come in. The tambourines latched onto Marisol's soul, and burn red hot whenever Rouge tries to take them. The power of the God trapped inside speaks to Rouge, telling her that she is not worthy. Rouge is angry, even after Marisol says she doesn't want Rouge to have them, and after they both escape the crumbling ruins, they are ,somewhat, forever rivals.
More time passes...She meets the man of her dreams, a rock star named Alfie, and the two get engaged...Marisol lives in a sleek modern condo and goes treasure hunting regularly. Then it happens.
"A TEAM? I don't need a team you know. I do fine MYSELF."
==Carmen the Leopard==
Name: Carmen 
Age: 26
Species: South American Spotted Leopard
Gender: Female
Partner: None.
Weapons/Abilities: Carmen, being a treasure hunter and pro thief, stole a prized possession owned by some rich guy that she didn't remember that was known as 'The Devils Jewelry'. It's called that for a REASON. The multiple snake resembling arm bands has a secret ability...If in the right hands, they can morph into actual living snakes! And notice, SNAKES is PLURAL! o3o! Cotton Mouth, Rattle, hell, even a King Cobra! They can also turn into Mobian snakes, known as Adofo, Asim, and Akil. The three are Royal Serpent brothers from Ancient Egyptian times, and had their souls and 'Godly' powers sealed into 'The Devils Jewelry'. Carmen was the first in centuries who was able to get her hands on their prison physically and set the three free. Now, they serve Carmen as her bodyguards, servents, weapons, you name it. She also uses this weapon as a whip. And if its wrapped around you and it turns into a snake, it's game over. On the side, she's skilled in a usual style of street fighting combat for self defense.
Carmen was brought up in a rough part of the country known as Columbia in South America. Her first language is Spanish, second is actually Portuguese, and THIRD is English. Growing up with 4 other siblings, things weren't to easy, especially with only one parent. Being the daring, strangely over mature girl she was, she got into the habit of 'borrowing' things without asking from random strangers. This soon led to a hobby of treasure hunting...Which is more like treasure stealing than anything.
She got into dancing when she heard her mother arguing with her step-dad about going to a strip club and not coming home until early in the morning. Looking for a trainer, she bumped into a woman by the name of Maria, who showed her the ropes. Although she worked at a strip joint, she was nice to be around for Carmen, and was unable to unwind and talk more freely about her thoughts and plans for the future with her, better then she ever could with her own mother.
Years later after she graduated from high school, she actually had the nerve to tell her mother she wanted to dance for a living. Outraged and taking it the wrong way, her mother simply kicked her out, and Carmen had to watch her siblings go off to college. After that, her siblings turned her away when she asked for help or a place to live, not wanting to put up with her. Angered, she left Columbia, hitched about 3 different rides, and in about what felt like a month, she reached America. Being somewhat sick from traveling during the winter season, hungry and needing shelter, she saw an ad for a Dancing Contest and decided to enter. This is when she meets Marisol and Isabella. To start off, they saw each other just as worthless competition. Then it deepened. They HATED each other as they realized each of them were on the same level of talent. The rivalry got even worse when they were forced to be on a team, when it wasn't even mentioned on the flyer. The three had to work together, or drop out of the competition. Isabella and Marisol might have been able to bond slightly and actually talk to each other without choking one another, but it was the complete opposite for Carmen. She only wanted the money prize, so as not to die in the streets without even trying to save herself. But then...her mind clicked. She had been in this situation before....You're a self made pick pocket! A world class thief at the most...At the time the girls had been trying to beat each other in every way shape or form, and if Carmen was going to try and rob an ancient temple, Marisol would try to get there first, not to mention Isabella, who was a complete air head when it came to bobby trapped temples.
The rest is continued in the backstory section.
==Isabella the Lynx==
Name: Isabella 
Age: 21
Species: Spanish Lynx
Gender: Female
Partner: None. (Varies at times. She's VERY flirtatious)
Weapons/Abilities: Isabella may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but through a well paid trainer, she's learned how to use her dance moves as weapons. She has a pair of fans that were originally meant to work as just decoration, but were actually very old family heir looms from her ancient ancestors. The fans have a strange power, that have a similar feeling to Marisol's tambourines. Except they do something that the tambourines can't. They act as if the user has telekinetic powers and can use anything around it as a weapon...even people.
Isabella was never born to be a fighter, or a poor girl, or even a middle class girl. She was born into a wealthy family of endangered lynx's in Spain. Europe itself. Being endangered, the world ever wanted the defenseless family to waste away, so they were put on the highest pedestal of all time, Isabella's father becoming mayor of her home town. Doing this, Isabella got into the hobby of, not treasure hunting, not treasure stealing...but collecting. Being a rich girl, she hardly had any experience in the real world, and only had other people doing things for her. Among her many classes and lessons she took, she had a dance class, and out of them all it was her favorite. She wanted to tell her family she wanted to dance for a living, but she knew her parents had already chosen that's he would become a doctor, or lawyer, or, their most forced, most repeated option, Spain's next top celebrity. But they wouldn't ever let her get on stage and dance in front of complete strangers. Especially if it was belly dancing. So, after she graduated from high school, she decided to grab her things, a shit load of cash, and head to America- The Land of Opportunity. Being the sort of air head that she is, she knew NOTHING about America, how the process would go, or what to do after she got there. She just wanted to run away from home and live on her own to make her own decisions...All the while all she really knew how to do was speak English with the help of her private tutor.
In her first week she spent time in an apartment, that really needed work, and finally understood why her parents didn't want her to leave OR drop down to middle class. Then, she saw the flyer. The dance competition that would not only put more money in her pocket, but show her parents what she was really made of. This is where Marisol and Carmen come in...
To start off, they saw each other just as worthless competition. Then it deepened. They HATED each other as they realized each of them were on the same level of talent. The rivalry got even worse when they were forced to be on a team, when it wasn't even mentioned on the flyer. The three had to work together, or drop out of the competition. Isabella went into spoiled brat mode, not treating either of the girls with the slightest bit of respect, and Marisol even compared her to Annabelle Rich, bitchy teenage actress.
"She is NOTHING like that! I know she isn't!" Isabella had argued, "Besides, I've meet her when she went on vacation to Europe...~"
"If you ONLY knew, puta..." Marisol responded, rolling her eyes.
"What did you call ME??"
