Gratuity Tucci | The True Meaning of Smekday | Not reserved
Nickname: GrayGriffin
Age: 18
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact: Email: doom.griffin@gmail.com
Characters Played: None
Character Info:
Name: Gratuity Tucci
Age: 13
Canon: The True Meaning of Smekday
Pull Point: Post-story
Background Info:
History: Wikipedia article TVTropes article (I can provide a more detailed writeup if needed)
Personality: Gratuity is very independent for her age, and quite able to take care of herself if needed. She is a quick thinker, and can often think of ways out of dangerous situations. However, most of the time, she will find herself panicking a little first before actually thinking of what to do. Despite the tendency to panic, she is not a coward, and will face danger head-on if she has to. She is also good at putting up a cool demeanor even when she is feeling panicked, mostly when she is being directly confronted by whatever is panicking her.
Gratuity is also very loyal to her friends and family. She stands by them no matter what, and although it can take a while to earn her trust if you make a bad first impression, once you've earned it, you've got it. She'd stand up to anything for her friends, and the best way to get her mad would be to hurt them.
However, to people outside of her circle, Gratuity is prone to sarcasm and the occasional wisecrack. While she can put up a friendly face if she needs to, most people she doesn't like will usually find themselves at the end of quite a few verbal barbs. She's also not above talking about them behind their backs, although she doesn't spread rumors-just makes it clear that she doesn't like them.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Magician
Justification: Gratuity is very resourceful and aware, as evidenced by her ability to survive mostly on her own after her mother was abducted. She also shows strong ability to take action, as she ends up being the one who makes the plan that ends up defeating the Gorg invasion.
Samples:
First Person Sample:
[An extremely annoyed girl is looking at the camera.]
Okay, what am I doing here, and where did this thing come from? Did I get abducted by aliens this time?
[A meowing noise comes from off-screen, and she bends down, picking up a cat in her other arm.]
Don't wander off, Pig.
Third Person Sample:
Lying down on her hotel bed, Gratuity decided that she did not like this place. She should have just left the others to fight those Shadows, but no, she just had to have some kind of chronic hero syndrome. She'd already saved her own world, and that should have been enough, but now she was fighting again, for a world she barely knew. Things back home had been quieting down for a while, and she had actually found herself missing some of the excitement that had come with fighting the Gorg invasion. Now, though, she remembered how tiring it actually was. Not only that, but she didn't even have J.Lo at her side anymore. Sure, he'd been annoying at times, but he'd also been her friend.
Not that she hadn't been meeting new people, and allying with them. But she'd only been here for such a short period of time, and couldn't consider them true friends yet. Oh sure, some of them were growing on her, and if she stayed here any longer, she knew they'd become friends. But right now...right now, Pig was the living creature closest to her, the one who understood her the most.
She supposed that she should consider that a blessing, being able to have her cat at her side, but it only made her all the more nervous. What if she got hurt by one of those Shadows? What if she wandered off, and Gratuity ended up going home without her? What if...?
Her thoughts were interrupted by Pig jumping onto her chest and pawing at her nose. "Merw!" she exclaimed, batting excitedly at her mistress' face.
"Okay, okay," said Gratuity with a laugh. "Let's go get you a treat." Getting up, she began walking towards the kitchen.
All things considered, it could be worse.
