DETAILED PERSONALITY.

PRIOR TO THE EVENTS OF AND DURING MOST OF THE COURSE OF HER STORY What really, really defined Tama was her immaturity and naivete!

DURING THIS TIME, she possessed a prominent 'delusion of invincibility.' That is, she tended to pull heroic, over-the-top stunts partially because she believed NOTHING could hurt her. She didn't think things through all the way down to their consequences, leaping and asking questions later... And while she does have good intentions, she tends to DO THINGS before she can even remember those ideals are even there!

Tama also lacked... or... rather.. still... lacks a lot of social repertoire! WHILE NOT PURPOSEFULLY RUDE, she has a tendency to be unaware of herself and her surroundings. For example, she WILL STARE if something is weird, she chews with her mouth open, and she is VERY HONEST-- almost bluntly so! She will not hesitate going "OH, GROSS!" if she thinks something is gross!

SHE LEARNS THROUGH EXPERIENCE!!!! Her ability to think and empathize are tested as she journies onward through VC... and, very gradually regains a more complete sense of heroism-- because afterall beneath the flashiness, Tama has a soft heart with a tendency toward mercy over justice, and kindness over coolness. She just needs a reason to consider these things.

She's not stereotypically girly in the least, but Tama gets offended if she's mistaken otherwise >8 C !!! She has a strong sense of personal style, being RATHER PARTICULAR with her little turnip hairs.

She tends to ask people out to eat after she's defeated them!!!!!!... ASSUMING PEOPLE ARE HER FRIENDS ONCE THEY'VE GOTTEN OVER THEIR DIFFERENCES. WIPES NOSE + OFFERS HAND TO PULL YOU UP.

She looks stupid, and her way of justifying her logic is v. simple, but her empathy game is so powerful,..,,...,.,

Abilities

For ...SOME... reason (yes there is a reason go to her past if you feel like spoiling yourself) there is an oil-based creature named Mara lives in her stomach. She goes about doing outrageous stunts/capturing villains with bounties on them/etc heroic acts to rake in cash to feed the creature. IN OTHER WORDS SHE EATS COINS/SOMETIMES THE CREATURE HAS FOOD REQUESTS. One of the side effects of this is that really bright rainbowy ectoplasm gas comes from her mouth which is reminiscent of rainbowy oil puddle residue.
Mara can can grant Tama good PERSONAL fortune... partially... AHHAHAHA. This luck extends as far as the ability to heal faster, her enemies tripping up on shit, or her punches/slings landing in strategic spots! Mara however is a hugeass troll and sometimes plain *~*ABANDONS HER~~** during battle. It depends on his mood/need for entertainment!
Aside from Mara's help (OR LACK THEREOF), Tama is pretty agile and athletic, with some STREET FIGHTIN and BUILDING SCALING/JUMPING experience.

TAMA'S PAST

UH I PLANNED ON INTRODUCING THIS LATER but yeah w/e I suck at keeping spoilers hidden HI.

She's on the look-out for her father!! The oil-ghoul in her stomach will help her!

Tama is the daughter of the wealthiest/most influential factory owners in ALLL THE LANDDDD J. Lantos of Lantos Manufactory. She and her father have a very good relationship in spite being very different personality-wise. Her father is very logical and very scientific. He doesn’t believe in the supernatural, rather than all things can be explained if looked at in the correct fashion! Most of the time when they talk he lectures about how the factories work, the ordered workings of the universe, how to deal with employees… ALL THAT GOOD STUFF!

SCIENCE SCIENCE LOGIC SCIENCE.

Tama on the otherhand prefers to go on ADVENTURES and doing WHATEVER SHE WANTS because usually she thinks she can get out of tough situations by either her own merits or her father’s influence!

Her father is really lax with her because he’s busy a lot, and also because he believes that someday she’ll grow up and settle down… settle down… For now, he’ll just let her be a kid.

Tama’s mother went away when Tama was very young, and she has a stepmother (WHICH IS A RECENT DEVELOPMENT). Her stepmother is very scientific and precise woman, as it seems! She makes Tama clean a lot, but usually Tama ditches the househould until her father comes home from work. (BEST CINDERELLA I THINK SO).

SO TAMA AND HER DAD really really love each other and sometimes when the lady of the house is out, they bond by walking near the lake. TAMA’S DAD ISN’T AFRAID OF THE LAKE because he doesn’t believe in the supernatural! He explains to Tama once that “THE LAKE IS JUST BUBBLY LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF THE DECOMPOSITION OF ANIMAL PARTS AT THE BOTTOM CREATES GAS WHICH MAKES BUBBLES!”

Tama’s not afraid of the lake because she is tama… and has never known true fear. (SO WHY START NOW).

AND THEN.

ONE FATEFULL DAYYYYY her fathers’ Hands ambush them at the seeming command of her stepmother. The order was to capture and/or kill the both of them and gaining control of the factory. In the process, Tama gets thrown right into the lake. Everyone assumes that she died. The last thing Tama sees as she sinks is the face her stepmother looking peering into the surface. She wonders if her dad’ll be alright, and if anyone will miss her as she sinks.

So as she’s drowning she swallows mara the monster… personality-wise he’s a bit of a lazy…. troll…! He didn’t leave because he hated humans (THO HE IS P. CONDESCENDING TOWARDS THEM) but because he couldn’t be assed to move. He helps her survive because a. free entertainment AYYY and b. free transport and access to consistent supply of food in form of coins. Though sometimes he tells her to eat ridic things like grass b/c he can!

SO SHE WAKES UP AND IS LIKE “DAD? 8 n8”

And then the monster tells her that he will help her find her dad if she feeds him enough! (thus the taking on crazy ridic tasks for monies). However he doesn’t actually plan on it, rather he’s sending her on a fool’s errand and getting free food/entertainment as he manipulates her fortune. He treats her like a dumb puppy/pet that can talk AHAHAHAHHA.

Tama in the meantime doesn’t know what else to do… she’s really shaken up by the fact that her actions actually have consequences now and comes to realize that things can really hurt her! But, she wants to save her dad and she wants things to turn back to normal so YEAH. ADVENTUREEEE

SOOO THEY START BONDING OVER ADVENTURE WITH THE MONSTER GRADUALLY WARMING UP TO TAMA AND TAMA LEARNING THE SACRIFICES THAT ENTAIL REAL BRAVERY.

RELATIONSHIPS.

Mara: FAIRYGODMOTHER She trusts Mara and believes that he will help her find her father! Although he can be trollish/a sarcastic little ass, Tama usually doesn't pick up on the sarcasm and thinks they have a good relationship!

Mara gradually and genuinely warms up to Tama through the power of friendship and adventure. HOWEVER he also becomes jealous of her dedication to her father and realizes that eventually if Tama succeeds she will go back to her father (WHO SHE TALKS ABOUT A LOT) and that all the good times will end. So he doesn’t want to use his magic to help her! SO THE MOTIVATION FOR HIM NOT PLANNING ON HELPING TAMA OUT GOES FROM “I’M AN ASSHOLE” to “I CAN MAKE THIS LAST FOREVER… THIS IS BAD… BUT I CAN…”

HOHOHO...
Her father: She thinks he is the greatest person, and tends to talk about how smart he is and how he lets her do ANYTHING! He's probably her favourite person next to Glim.
Her stepmother: Her scientific mind definitely rivals and sometimes surpasses her husbands’ (depending on the subject). Her father fell in love with that intellect...

Tama has been naturally suspicious of her stepmother since day one, and with passing of a CERTAIN past event, Tama's believes her suspicions confirmed!
Glim: Though they seem a lot like opposites-- Tama being extremely extroverted, while Glim being extremely introverted-- they are each others' favourite people! TAMA LIKES GLIM A LOT because Glim is super patient and always listens to her! She's also one of the few peoples that think Glim is really funny and cool!

GLIM LOVES TAMA A LOT because Tama is a lot of energy and very exciting! AGAIN, Glim doesn't have many friends so she really values Tama's friendship!

THEY TEND TO FINISH EACH OTHER'S SENTENCES HOW GAY.

TAMA SHIPS HER DAD AND GLIM'S MOM BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE SISTERS WITH GLIM. IT'S KIND OF HILARIOUS. GLIM IS JUST LIKE "O U~"
my tama andre AU ship knows no bounds

OTHER SHIT

Her handwriting looks like this!

HER FAVOURITE COLOUR IS RED! Though her spirit colours are probs orange grey yellow green, so not many red clothings for you Tama.

She's not picky with her food, but eating grass and coins surely this is true suffering..................

PROBABLY GROWS UP HOT

SHE LOVES ANIMALS A LOT! She'd probably start shit up if you treated a stray dog, or cat badly *___*;;; HER SPIRIT ANIMAL IS LIKE YORKSHIRE TERRIER W/ DA LITTLE HAIRS TIED UP OUT OF THE FACE BUHYOO...

Though it doesn't seem like it, she does retain a lot of the information her daddy told her.

TAMA LIKES TO GUESS AS TO HOW GLIM LOST HER EYE. SHE THINKS IT'S MAD COOL AND THAT GLIM IS A BADASS that was their first conversation by the way.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYE"
"WANTED TO SPY ON THE NEIGHBORS. TORE IT OUT THIS MORNING AND LEFT IT ON THEIR YARD."
"....:0 cool"

She ties her hair up like that because it is comfortable. Usually, she only cuts it when it's convenient, or when she feels bits of it touch her shoulders.

I named her after GauTAMA buddha! Her name also means ghost/spirit in Japanese shinto religion! Tama also means darkness in Croatian HAHAA. Also tama+go = japanese for "egg"

CREATOR INSIGHT.

TAMA IS MY FAVOURITE GO AWAY
