Description

Click to expand.
Holy cow! This girl is HUGE!

Standing no less than two meters tall in flats and noticeably muscular and buxom, she cuts an impressive figure to say the least. A mane of chestnut tresses tumbles past broad shoulders and half-way down her strong back. Wide hips flare out from her trim waist, giving her a classic hourglass figure.

Her dark, wavy hair frames a youthful face with wide hazel eyes peeking out through a traditional domino mask. A cute, slightly up-turned nose, lightly dusted with freckles sits above her full cupid's bow lips which are framed with dimples, especially when she smiles, revealing even white teeth.

Her mountainous body would give any villain pause. Full-figured, yet robust, her brawny arms and sturdy legs, while well-muscled, are rounded and match her ample bosom and shapely rear. Her beautifully bronzed skin is largely unblemished save for a tattoo of a broken chain encircling her right biceps.

Her costume, patriotic red and blue with gold trim, is cut to emphasize both her curves and her strength, leaving her powerful arms, shoulders and upper back and legs bare save for her gloves and boots. Covering the rest of her, from her toned stomach past her large bust and from under her arms up to her neck is a brightly coloured one-piece.

History

Click to expand.
Tina Howard was once your average 'innocent bystander', one among millions just trying to make a living. Like so many others, she idolized the famous and powerful heroes seen occasionally battling everything from street crooks to world-threatening super-villains. Being rather short and unimpressive herself she naturally dreamed of becoming big and strong and somehow joining them someday. Becoming someone who could make a real difference instead of just a slightly mousy yoga instructor.

She had gym memberships and fitness magazine subscriptions a-plenty. Supplements, protein shakes and health foods galore. Her apartment was fit to burst with anything and everything that even advertised that it could make you bigger or stronger. Every free moment and spare cent she had went into the pursuit of this goal. Oh, the rent was paid on time, sure, but her savings account was about as flat as her arms. Or her chest. Oh, how she hoped and wished and prayed to be bigger, stronger.

As the saying goes: be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Who can say for sure what caused the strange and marvelous transformation to occur? Something in the water? Fallout from some super-villain's experiments? Latent DNA from an inhuman ancestor, or something else entirely? Whatever the reason life changed forever the day Tina chose to take that short-cut to the gym. If she hadn't chosen to skip breakfast in favour of an extra set of squats, maybe she wouldn't have had to waste time in line for that snack she needed so bad. Maybe she wouldn't have been beating herself up so hard over cheating on her diet that she missed her turning and had to make up that time too. Maybe if something different had happened in that thug's day he would have been waiting in a different alley and never met Tina at all. Things sure would have gone badly for those other innocent bystanders then.

Surprising both her mugger and herself when he jumped out at her, she punched him square in the nose, more by dumb luck than anything else, and turned to run. As she sped sobbing down the alleyway, the ground began to lurch away from her while the walls started to close in. Half convinced she was, in fact, having a vivid nightmare she fled towards the open street and relative safety, paying little attention to her surroundings until a resounding boom unavoidably caught her attention. She turned to look at what could have caused the noise, vaguely wondering why things looked so distant and as she did so, she stumbled over a car and fell on all fours managing somehow not to land on the tiny people beneath. Mere moments later, a shower of something that felt like gravel bounced off her back. The mugger, meanwhile, gaped for a moment before putting his hands in his pockets and whistling back off down the alley.

Tina could hardly believe later on the news as she watched shaky, phone-camera footage of herself, several meters tall and with barely a scrap of cloth surviving to preserve her modesty, standing up from 'bravely diving to cover the endangered civilians with her own body', punching the air and whooping, "I'm titanic Tina now! YEAH!" to general amazement, amusement and parents covering their children's eyes. The name caught on and the rest, as they say, is history.

Personality

Click to expand.
As Tina Howard, Tina is friendly, outgoing, encouraging, energetic and supportive. She likes to help others in her role as a yoga instructor and brings a great deal of enthusiasm to her classes, group or solo. She has an unfortunate knack for saying just the wrong thing sometimes and despite how well she usually gets on with people she often finds it easier to listen to a good book while on the treadmill at home. Her obsession with working out, as well as being wholly unsuccessful, has left her with few real friends.

As Titanic Tina, Tina is a gung-ho powerhouse. Not fond of elaborate plans and in-depth strategy, she would much rather trust to her enormous size and strength to get the job done! She's something of a show-off, liable to pass up easy wins for more dramatic battles, so far not to anyone's cost but it's surely only a matter of time. Her confidence can easily come off as arrogance and she is constantly tempted to claim a greater share of the credit in any joint venture than she's really entitled to.

HERO COSTUME
A gift from an unknown benefactor, Tina's patriotic, red and blue one-piece, gloves and boots can grow as she does. She has no idea how nor who sent it to her but it is undoubtedly one of her most prized possessions.

SELF-EMPLOYED
Tina has a job as a yoga instructor which pays enough to afford the rent on a small but comfortable apartment in Manhattan, buy food and used to support a now-redundant gym habit. The extra money now goes towards clothes that can be readily grown out of in a hurry. She also owns a phone a few years behind the cutting edge. Many of her belongings not related to fitness are second hand but serviceable.

YOGA CLIENTS
Tina instructs many people on a one-to-one basis and maintains cordial relations with most. Whilst her clientele does not read like the latest dictionary of today's who's who, a surprising variety of people of all walks of life are on a first name basis with her, including police, medical, legal and tech professionals. Most of them are women but by no means all.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.
NOT-SO-SECRET IDENTITY
Her heroic identity, chosen while high on adrenaline, endorphins and newly-acquired powers, includes her real first name. Also her very public first transformation occurred months after getting an optimistic tattoo in a highly visible place. These things make it harder to keep her secret identity.

OVERCONFIDENT
Drunk on early success, Tina is more confident than is prudent and can easily be goaded to get in over her head, even despite her great size.

STRENGTH TO SIZE RESTRICTION
Tina can only become stronger by becoming larger making fighting indoors difficult if not impossible.
