## Background Information

### History

Tchaya was orphaned when she was 8. Her mother passed away from childbirth, and her father died in an unfortunate car crash while driving home after dropping Tchaya off for school.

Tchaya found out about her powers in first grade, when she accidentally turned into a tiger, her birth year zodiac, and freaked everyone out. Since then, she's loved tigers.

When Tchaya was orphaned, she ran away from her abusive aunt and uncle, and started living in the wild, morphing into various animals to stay alive. One day, she met a girl, Sheila, whose parents let her stay with them, and enrolled Tchaya into the Sheila's school. Unfortunately, a year after that, Sheila died in a fire Tchaya survived by turning into a tardigrade and escaping. Tchaya blamed herself for not trying to save Sheila, and ran away again.

Fast-forward three years spent living in forests and stealing bits of food, occasionally a penny or two, and befriending the animals. She sneaks on a truck to California. There, she sees a superhero suddenly blink into sight and follow him to Meta Academy. When a faculty member of Meta Academy spots her, she panics and transforms into a cheetah, trying to run away, but the superhero catches her. She was jailed, but then turned into a mealworm, slid out, morphed into a cheetah and tried to escape, but was caught and sent back. After that, Meta Academy officials went through her records and decided to let her stay and train.

Since then, Tchaya has been training at Meta Academy

### Appeareance

Tchaya is an Indian-Chinese girl with a chestnut-ish complexion, as well as dark brown eyes and dark brown to black hair. Tchaya doesn't really care about her apeareance, so she doesn't do anything fancy normally, and just lets things be. She may change her appeareance by shifting, but generally does not want to, although some aspects of her may change when she is feeling strong emotions. When in her superheroine outfit, however, she favors a single silver streak of hair down the side.

### Personality

Tchaya blames herself for a lots of things, but tries to push the guilt away. She is fierce and is not afraid to speak her mind. She may come off as sassy and disrespectful, but inside, she's haunted by the deaths she's seen. She puts on a brave face, and is pretty friendly, but also tough and a little savage. Try not to give her a meltdown (or something that enhances her abilities) unless you want to see her morph into a few unsettling animals.

## Powers, Skills, and Weapons

### Powers

Tchaya can shapeshift into any living thing, the larger, the harder and more draining it is. Whenever she morphs, a blast/flash of silver light surrounds her for a split second, then disappears, the larger the thing, the brighter and larger the flash and the longer it takes to fade. Her favorite shape is a sleek silver wolf. She can also talk to animals.

### Skills

Anything the animal allows her to do, but also it's weaknesses.

### Weapons

Though shifting into beasts usually provides her with a variety of skills, Tchaya has a few devices on her and her enhanced pure silver dagger, which can turn into a long, slender sword, can shrink into a throwing knife, and may be laced with dangerous things.
