Tansy Courtright
Overview | Thread Archive? | Forum Profile ⤴ |
Tansy Courtright (Tan-zee kOHR-t-rITE) is a member of Del Cenere Gang, currently ranked as a Las Brasas. She is the daughter of Peony Braithwaite and Hosea Courtright. She has an older sister: Daphne Braithwaite and a younger sister: Camellia Courtright, effectively making her the largely overlooked middle child. She was born at the Parish as part of her parent's second litter. Technically she is the third litter, but the second one of only surviving children. Being a daughter of the Bella Dama, she was brought up with certain expectations placed upon her by her mother, even if they were not as strict as the ones her older sister had. While for a time she was fine playing along with her mother's game, she came to despise the image that her mother was constantly trying to mold her into. In what freedom she had, given that she didn't have as much attention from her parents, she came to discover her love of so many things, namely just about anything that would be considered "unlady-like." That sure didn't stop her. She was quite content to tell her mother to fuck off and do what she wanted with her life. Thriving in her new choices in life helped Tansy to drift closer to her uncle, Bennett Braithwaite. He took her under his wing, teaching her leatherworking. This was the start of seeing herself moving in the right direction. She turned her attention to other sides of life, namely what men are like. After all, they were the opposite of being a lady. Her uncle was the start, but there was far more. She had taken to cutting her hair so that it would be shorter, hanging around others. One other thing she felt herself drawn towards were the horses in Del Cenere. Currently, Tansy continues to work on carving out a life for herself, one free of any control coming from her mother. She is working on balancing having a good time being one of the guys, while also making sure she is taking time to hone her skills in her own interests. |

Characteristics
Appearance |
Physical |
Though Tansy is a coy-dog, she looks nearly completely coyote thanks to her mother's side of the family. Her face and muzzle are smaller, and much more narrow. Her ears are large and rounded, the only trait to get from her dog-heavy father. Her body structure is rather lithe, typical of coyotes, though has some toned muscles from working and to change her image. Her tail is thin, having a small curl to it, though one that's not too noticeable unless you know what to look for. Her coloration is a product of her mother's side of the family, looking much more like her. Most of her body is a light tan color with a darker blaze shaped similarly to the one her mother has along the top of her muzzle and forehead. She has lighter shades of cream on her face, underside, and legs; and has varying shades of gray along her head, ears, back, legs, and tail tip. Her eyes are a shade darker purple than that of her mother's. When in optime, she grows cream locks, ones she keeps short as to fit in better with the guys. |
Clothing & Other |
Although Del Cenere is a place of mixed culture when it comes to how humanized they dress themselves, Tansy prefers, quite heavily to fall on the side that barely wears anything at all, much to the disdain of her highly humanized mother. If she is wearing anything at all, it is usually bandages or some cloth over her chest. The only time she will wear something close to an "outfit" is if it is for a special occasion, but only a very special occasion. And even then, it's usually something very loose and easy to remove. Much like with clothing, Tansy doesn't see much need to decorate herself with accessories. They're so unnecessary. |

Personality |
Growing up, Tansy was a curious child, even when trying to keep up to the standards that her mother was teaching her. This, along with her tendency to be speculative is the only trait that seems to have carried on her adulthood. She's grown fascinated by everything new that had opened up to her, and doesn't do much to rein in this side of herself. Her curiosity can, at many times lead to her much more brash nature to come to the surface. That being said, it is not the only time this is the case. When it comes to inserting herself in places, whether she is wanted or not, is another instance of when this nature comes to the surface. Thanks to her mother, she's developed into a rebellious person, not at all hiding this from anyone. Certainly not people she's got any sort of dislike for. Where as she was once told to be proper and lady-like, she now does everything in her power not to. She thrives in this part of herself, and is willing to do anything to insure it doesn't disappear anytime soon. Something that has developed as a result of this is her mouth, rather how much of a potty-mouth she is. There's very little shame when it comes to this. Something else to come from her rebel streak was the growth of her... sense of humor. To be more specific, a sardonic and callous sense of humor. It's always there, waiting under the surface, but doesn't usually come out on first meetings. Her defaults are to other fascist of her personality, only allowing her true humor to come up when she is around people she is actually comfortable with. This shouldn't be too much of a problem, seeing as she generally gets along well with people, unless they are certain types to rub her the wrong way. While she may favor hanging around men more than women, seeing as she sees herself as one of them, she is no stranger to mingling with both. Above all eles, Tansy has an overabundance of confidence. It takes a lot of work to knock her down in this department. Even if it comes down to a matter of bullshitting something, she's got confidence in spades.

Biases
|
Sexuality Tansy is lesbian, has been ever since she started exploring of life outside her mother's influence. She's discovered that she isn't attracted to any males, as she often sees herself as one of them. Women on the other hand are much more alluring and interesting, assuming they're not the stuck up kind. She's the kind of person to want to have fun while having sex, but also making sure her partner is as well. In this light, it doesn't matter much to her who is dominant or submissive. She's not one to flirt, but any partner of her's is going to have to put up with her dirty sense of humor. Tansy will be transgender, but for now still identifies as female and acts in a much more masculine manner. |
Spirituality Thanks to the upbringing of both her parents, and the gang she lives in, Tansy follows Christian beliefs, though more loosely than others around her. While she does believe in God and will pray to him if the situation calls for it, but is pretty lax when it comes to other aspects of her religion. She's got no qualms about taking the almighty lord's name in vein, and clearly doesn't follow all of its teachings to a 'T'. She hopes the 'all loving lord' will not smite her for her choices in life and send her to hell when she goes. |
Substances She doesn't indulges in substances... when she's alone. There's no fun in it otherwise. Whether it be having a few round of drinks, or taking to smoking some cannabis, she'll usually do it so long as there's someone else to do it there with her. All better if there is a special occasion going on that allows the use of such substances. |

Key |
Bennett Braithwaite is her teacher, partner in crime, and her favorite uncle. When she is not spending time with the family that she cares about, or with the guys, he's usually the one she keeps in her company. She appreciates everything he does for her, and puts up with from her, even if she isn't always quick to admit it. He seems to always know how to brighten her mood whenever it gets soured. Probably helps that he doesn't seem to mind her rebellious nature towards her own mother, being his sister. |

Home Away From Home
This property is on an incredibly shallow slope, but is predominantly flat, and covered with tall pines, crops of shrubs, bushes, ferns, and sparse grasses. Numerous rocks have been cleared, leaving a few pocked marks in the alpine earth, and re-purposed to a short, moss and lichen-covered boundary fence lining the path crawling to the cabin's walkway. Come springtime and early summer after the seasonal rains, lupines, wild iris, harebells, columbines and bachelor’s buttons carpet the property.
