Quirk
Heat Resistance - Tabitha's quirk allows her to withstand high temperatures and even raw flames and molten metal without sustaining any injuries or ill health.However, it means that she is twice as sensitive to the cold and can easily contract illnesses that come about by being exposed to cold weather.
Appearance
Tabitha has long honey blonde hair and hazel eyes but often wears blue contact lenses for aesthetic purposes, she's caucasian but has a natural tan and freckles across her nose, but she usually tries to cover them with concealer. She's about average height and has an athletic figure.She also has a taste for rock and metal music and it reflects in the way she dresses. She will frequently wear her favourite studded leather jacket and often wears leather fingerless gloves and combat boots to match. She also has a number of band stickers and badges on her bag. Also, she often wears clothes that are not considered to be modest or proper, which can often shock and intimidate people who are more 'pure' of mind.
Personality
Despite the look that she adopts, Tabitha has a friendly and approachable personality. She is quite casual and eager to make friends and often insists that people call her by her first name or by her nickname "Tabby" straight away because it makes her feel more at home. However, as her appearance might suggest, she is rather nonconformist and free spirited and likes to do things her way and can become quite problematic towards anyone who tries to force her into doing things in the "proper" way. In conjunction with this, she is somewhat devilish and will indiscriminately tease and prank people, regardless of their rank.Despite this, she is a gifted craftsman and completes assignments and projects punctually and to a high standard. Also she never protests over being punished for her pranks or people pulling pranks on her in order to get her back and will even openly admit that she pulled the prank if there is any doubt about who pulled it.She is fluent in Japanese but lacks knowledge of some of the customs, so while she tries her best to be polite, she does slip up quite a bit, as such she has taken to apologizing in advance for any discrepancies.She is also highly passionate about anything mechanical or technological. As such, she has a lot of knowledge on mechanics, engineering, vehicles and support gear. She is always happiest when she's in her own little corner of the workshop in her overalls, blasting out her music at full volume as she works on her designs or tinkers with bits of support gear.
Background
Tabitha belongs to a family of four. Her Dad, John Lloyd, is a mechanic and her Mum, Emma Lloyd, is an electrician and her older sister, Sarah Lloyd, is also a mechanic.Tabitha's parents encouraged her and her sister from an early age to take an interest in their professions and were delighted when both girls showed a talent for mending and building things. However, Tabitha later began to show a talent for designing and creating her own things. Her parents also greatly encouraged this.As was the case with most other children, Tabitha developed a great admiration for heroes and later decided to combine her two passions. She wanted to design and engineer support equipment for the world's leading heroes.Being an ambitious girl, Tabitha decided that she wanted to enroll in the best hero school in the world, which so happened to be Yuuei Academy in Japan. So, amongst her other studies, she began to take night classes to learn Japanese at age eight and continued to study right up until her enrollment, deciding that it would be useful, even if her application was unsuccessful.She graduated from Yuuei six years ago and completed a year working as a trainee for a small support gear workshop in Kyoto; Konokoto Engineering. Her employers were so impressed with her work that they sent her to go and work full time as a costume designer and support engineer at their new branch in Musutafu which opened in May the following year, and is set to manage the workshop as chief technician upon it's expansion in the next two years.
