## Appearance

Sloan has dark brown, shoulder-length hair with icy blue eyes. She has far skin with no freckles. She has a more skinny build, and is slightly taller then average. She usually wears a black t-shirt underneath a light gray pullover with white splotches on it. Also wears black, slightly baggy pants, and gray sneakers. She wears a black and white beaded bracelet on her left arm.

As Blacktip, she wears a white mask with a pale gray skin-tight suit. Her suit has a ruffled, feathery look. The tips of Blacktip’s suit are black. Her suit also has a pair of “wings” (aka, fabrics of cloth that are shaped like bird wings that are medium gray with black tips at the end and are connected by rings on her ring fingers). She has a gray quiver with black arrows strapped to her back. She also has dark gray fingerless gloves with black tips at the end of it.

## Personality

Sloan is slightly shy to new people, and hates public speaking. She likes to draw, usually dragons, cats, or birds. Sloan is a pretty major fangirl for animated shows, too. She’s usually kind to people she doesn’t know, or to anyone, really. She hates popular kids with a burning passion, and never wants to be popular. She's fiercely loyal to her friends and family, and would die/kill for them. She usually holds her emotions bottled up, and she tends to hold grudges which doesn’t help. She's usually easily stressed, but tends to bottle it up. She's also slightly impatient, but getting better at it. She's not that confident.

As Blacktip, she's way more stoic and unemotional. She's serious and focused, and only speaks in very short sentences, right to the point. She tends to be a bit more prideful and calm in this form.

## Kwami

Hunterr is the kwami of the White-Tailed Kite Miraculous Holder. Hunter is generally encouraging and helpful to Sloan.

## Relationships

### Ben Teslow/Metal Manta

Ben is Sloan's recently found second cousin. She's very close and loyal to him, and would die for him if they were in a worst-case scenario. While Sloan/Blacktip tries to keep him from trouble, Ben/Metal Manta tries to save her. They know each others' identities, too, so it's easy to say that they trust each other a lot.

### Liana Weaver/Gentle Birman

One of Sloan's best friends and her crush, as revealed in this thread: /307882. Liana was one of Sloan's first friends in Forumsville, and is one of the Three Artskateers. She's slightly protective of her, and always helps and teams up with her when she's around. Even Blacktip, as stoic as she is, cracks a smile whenever GB appears. They do know each others' identities.

### Sunny Linnaeus/Varanus

One of Sloan's best friends, and another member of the Three Artskateers. Sloan kind of sees Sunny as like her little sister, and is pretty optimistic and happy when she's around. They also know each others' identities.

### Natas Enasni/Storm

One of Sloan's... friends, in a way. Natas, being Aster's more dark and ruthless personality, kind of scares Sloan. She also thinks that he's pretty cool, and kind of wants him to be a little more careful. But she considers him a friend, especially after letting Sloan, Ben, Viola, and Arrow hide in his "Storm Cave" after the incident at Willow's mansion. Sloan (of course) knows his identity, and vice-virsa.

### Arrow Talonclaw/Tundra Wolf

One of Sloan's friends. Being her cousin's best friend and a member of the Storm Cave Squad (as Sloan calls it), They haven't really interacted that much, but as Ben said in Thunderstorm's Truth or Dare ML OCs thread: "Any friend of Sloan’s kind of ends up being a friend of mine, and vice virsa." They also know each others' hero identities.

### Viola Cotter/Cotton Dream

One of Sloan's best friends. Viola tends to get caught up in all of Sloan's and Ben's shenanigans, and ended up becoming Sloan's friend in the process. As well as being in the Storm Cave Squad, Viola and Sloan kind of share the same hatred for Sheila. They do know each others' identities.

### Black Mamba

Black Mamba tends to be around when Northern Frost attacks, and helps a lot with the fights. Therefore, Blacktip considers her a helpful ally in battle.

### Gloria

Gloria is one of Sloan's good friends. They both like cats and drawing, and that made them have quite the bond. Sloan's pretty loyal to her, too.

### Northern Frost

Sloan/Blacktip hates Northern Frost. Since NF tried to kill Ben to prove that she was a "better assassin," as well as trying to lure her into her boss's mansion by a holiday party to try and kill them, as well as steal their miraculouses, Blacktip has a pretty major grudge on her. She doesn't really know what to think of her now, though, since she's not trying to hurt any of the heroes anymore.

### Sheila Durings

Sloan, being the person who she is with hating obnoxious popular kids, doesn't like Sheila. At all. She's even thought of hunting her down as Blacktip and shooting arrows at her on multiple occasions.

### Daniel Levell (aka Mr. D)

Sloan's main enemy, for multiple reasons. First of all, he was the one who made Ben's house burn down when he was only 5 years old, killed his parents, made him lose his arm, "train" him to be an assassin using methods of torture, gave him a metal arm that Ben is self-conscious of, and made him go on the run for three years, basically making Ben go through a decade of fear and torture, without any family. Need I say more?
