Tavie

Tavie is a major character in Animal Jam and one of the seven main Alphas that protect Jamaa. She is the Alpha of the dolphins, and unlike the other six Alphas was not chosen by Zios or Mira as such, rather she was given the tile and powers of an Alpha by the other six Alphas themselves. She fights against the Phantoms as they try to pollute the ocean, caring deeply about keeping it clean and beautiful. She's also in a band known as The Jolly Oyster, of which she is the leader.
==Biography==
Tavie was born without a tailfin, which made swimming more difficult for her. When the Phantoms invaded and began to pollute the waters of her home, she lead on army of aquatic animals to fight them off. Eventually she met the six Alphas: Liza, Peck, Graham, Cosmo, Sir Gilbert and Greely. The six Alphas, impressed by her leadership skills and dedication to protecting her home, invite her to join them. She accepts, gaining magic powers and earning the title of the dolphin Alpha.
While she doesn't physically appear, Tavie makes her in-game debut in the adventure In Too Deep. While exploring the underwater Phantom Factory, the player hears Tavie's voice coming from one of the pipes near the end. She tells them that she had been exploring the factory as well when the Phantoms captured and imprisoned her, urging the player to escape the factory and seek the help of the other Alphas. When the player tells them of Tavie, Liza explains that she's the Alpha of the dolphins, and that she'd gone missing one day while travelling.
In the next mission titled Turning The Tide, the player talks with Graham, who tells them that the Phantoms have now locked Tavie up even tighter, elaborating that she couldn't get away fast enough due to her lack of a tail fin. He says that she'd asked him to make her a prosthetic, and that he'd given it the captain of the Bottlenose Brigade to deliver to her. After the Bottlenose brigade is freed from their prions and they along with the player break into the room where Tavie is being held, the captain gives the player the tail fin prosthetic, who then gives it to the Alpha. She then instructs them to unlock her cage by finding three Aqua Crystals hidden around the area. Once she's been rescued, Tavie will use her magic to destroy a nearby boulder, granting a passageway for everyone to escape out of. As they swim up, the other Alphas are there waiting for them on shore, thankful to see that Tavie is okay. Greely asks her if she's learned anything about the Phantoms, but she responds that she hadn't. Liza suggest she should rest a while, and the seven Alphas continue to talk about what had happened a little while longer as the adventure ends.
In the seasonal adventure Tiki Trouble, Tavie greets the player and tells them of three mystical pearls that can drive Phantoms away, and that after years of searching she's finally found them on the island the two are currently near. She then explains that each of the pearls are guarded by a tiki statue who won't speak to anyone unless given a specific item. She asks the player to go explore the island and bring the pearls to her, warning them that she'll have to leave in 15 minutes, as the tide goes in at that time and if she doesn't leave before then, she'll be stuck. Finally, she advises the player talk to some of the denizens of a nearby village for hints if they get stuck. For every pearl she receives, Tavie will give the player a prize.
==Appearance==
Tavie is a purple dolphin with magenta eyes and a pink underbelly and face. She has a pink swirl on her forehead, lavender swirls on her dorsal fin, and a magenta star under her right eye. She wears an orange prosthetic tailfin with yellow waves and bronze markings that's imbedded with four pink gemstones; three being small and circular along the main part, and one being large and diamond-shaped in-between the fins. She wears a brown strap with a beige hermit crab shell, a magenta starfish, and a purple scallop shell attached to it. She wears a small orange tiara with a large pearl in the middle and two small, pink diamond-shaped gemstones beside it. She has two feather duster sea worms on either side of her head with pale blue bases and magenta tentacles with blue stripes. She dons a magenta hibiscus on the right side of her head.
