Personality:
-Skittles is a complex character due to the nature of her work and her lack of trust in anyone other than herself and her team. Her general attitude stems from her own confidence in herself, and on first impressions, she can come off as having a bit of a superiority complex. Very little takes her by surprise, and she's quick to come up with a plan and consider the outcomes. If push comes to shove, Skittles will look out for number one: Herself and her crew. 
-Skittles' ability to make friends is limited. Her line of work makes trust a liability; If you aren't already good friends with her, she's not likely to take chances for you. When it comes to her team, Skittles is ferociously loyal and protective of them, often viewing herself as the older sister of the team. (Although she and Jasiri are the same age.) 
-Skittles is prone to outbursts, especially if something deeply upsets her. It takes less time to set her off than it does to cool her off, and Skittles will hold a grudge if she thinks the offending party hasn't paid up or apologized. That being said, Skittles will forgive and forget if things are settled, one way or the other.
-When Skittles is working, she has a professional, no-nonsense attitude and a will that doesn't give up easily. If she sees the target prize, she gets it, no matter what. Outside of work, she is much more relaxed and grounded, and prefers to hang out with her team at local nightclubs and dive bars where information gets passed around frequently. 


Combat traits:
-Skittles is trained in both Tai Chi and Tai Kwon Do. She has a history of ballet training and gymnastics, and both of these former hobbies attribute to her overall speed, skill and athletic ability.
-She has training using brass knuckles, blades, and staffs in combat.
Powers:
Skittles does not have any powers. Unless you count willpower.

Strengths:
-Focused; When working, Skittles' mindset is purely set on the job and on getting it done correctly.
-Martial Artist; Skittles is a skilled combatant in hand-to-hand and melee combat. 
-Team Player/Team Leader; Skittles leads her own small three-person team for most of her jobs. She is efficient and cooperative with her team, mindful of their needs and suggestions, and uses their skills and talents to the best of her ability. 
-Master of Stealth; Skittles' size and stature makes her adept at remaining undetected to most of the base senses. This allows her to be able to fit in smaller spaces that larger characters might have difficulty in.

Weaknesses:
-Short fuse; Skittles has a notoriously short temper, and anything she definitely does not like will result in an explosive reaction.
-Adverse to guns; Skittles does not use guns. They're too noisy and easy to identify and trace in her line of work, so she will never use them, and will be disdainful of anyone who does use them.
-Untrusting; Skittles line of work makes trusting newcomers difficult. Her strongest friendships were forged over years, so spontaneous friendship is nonexistant to Skittles. Overly friendly types make her suspsicious, and overly broody or unfriendly types do as well. 

Positive relations
-Jasiri the Hyena; 
 Jasiri is the only person in the world that Skittles actually considers her best friend. Jasiri is a tall, well-built spotted Hyena with electric pink/purple hair and eyes. She has piercings all over her face, and wears clothing that is usually provocative or revealing. Jasiri is a wise-cracking gal, and Skittles is always at her utmost relaxed around her. Jasiri works as Skittles part time trainer and sparring partner, but her main line of work is being the brute strength and combat ally in Skittles jobs.  They met when on the first day of kindergarten.
Jasiri is the one Skittles calls on for close combat moments. Jasiri is almost never too far from Skittles to come to her aid, and she is a bruiser of a fighter. 
Jasiri hits with sheer strength, power and force when she fights, and paired up with Skittles' faster and acrobatic fighting style, she becomes the more dangerous opponent on the field. As enemies are trying to focus on the quick, viper-like Skittles, Jasiri will mow them down like an elephant in their confusion and distraction.
-Angel the Dog; 
  Skittles' only known relative and her younger cousin. Angel and Skittles found each other when a 13 year old Skittles broke herself into a store Angel was hiding in to evade police. Since then, Angel has followed Skittles everywhere, proving that she is unquestionably loyal to her cousin. Angel looks nearly identical to Skittles (Some mistake them for sisters) though she has styled, platinum blond punk hair streaked in cyan, and wears punk clothing with lots of studding. Angel is also larger than Skittles, despite being two years younger.
Angel is Skittles' first cousin on her mother's side.
Angel works for Skittles as a part of her crew alongside Skittles' second in command, Jasiri. Her role is technician and demolitions, having a talent for technology and hacking, and a strange obsession with creating explosives and gadgets for Skittles to use (Despite disliking guns, Skittles views bombs as useful in quick escapes, but leaves Angel in charge of that, preferring her cousin to be in a position to use the bomb when needed.)

Negative relations
-N/A; Skittles doesn't have any yet. She only has the two currently positive relations due to her lack of making friends after them.

History

Very little known about Skittles history, where she was born and who raised her. From what she will say, she was orphaned at a very young age, and developed her skills as a way to cope with her life situations growing up.
-At the age of five, she met Jasiri the Hyena in school and the two became fast partners in crime and best friends.
-At the age of thirteen, Skittles broke into a locked store, believing it to be empty. Little did she know that she would meet her only known blood relative, the 11 year old Angel, hiding there from the authorities after blowing up the local police station. After meeting her aunt and uncle, Angel's parents who were abusive and neglectful, Skittles left with Angel in tow. 
-At fifteen Skittles committed her first heist, gaining not only a knack for it, but underground fame and notoriety for her success. This laid the groundwork for how she and her team would begin operating for their heists and thefts.
-Skittles loosely works for a Black Market operation in the underground as of the moment. It's usually there that she takes her jobs and sells what she can to obtain fast cash in a pinch. The BM was where she obtained the identity and name of Skittles when she was fifteen, leaving her birth name unknown and all but forgotten. Only she and her team know her real name, and she prefers to keep it that way.

She's adorable ^^
I can't wait to see her in action :3

While this is a really nice character, that I too am excited to see in action. I've noticed that you have yet to make an intro post, which is required before doing anything else.

Please get on it, we're looking forward to having you here!
