Teena Bathurst
I met the cutest little gnome today in accounting. He smiled at me and held the door. I'm trying to decide on the best time to propose to him.

eena Bathurst is a project administrator assigned to the Special Projects team within Hegemony International.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
T
eena is tall and lanky. She doesn't seem to have "grown into" her body, and often displays a clumsiness that is either comical or disconcerting to her colleagues. Although she's by no means "out of shape", she's quite weak (spindly, even), rarely pursues physical activities, and has little endurance for strenuous tasks.
Facial Features
G
iven her utter failure in romantic matters, it may be easy to assume she's ugly. But the truth is more nuanced. She'd probably be considered to have at least average attractiveness if it weren't for the fact that she has almost no understanding of how to augment her own looks. She's plagued by acne and makes no attempt to treat it in any meaningful way. Her hair can go unwashed for weeks. When she does wear makeup, it's done so in a near-cartoonish manner. She has two lip piercings, a nose ring, and two eyebrow piercings, and she usually dons jewelry that hangs awkwardly across her face.
Apparel & Accessories
S
he's fond of tight clothing - an odd choice given her skeletal frame. She occasionally dons tube tops, even though she's completely flat-chested. Much of her clothing is designed to invoke her favorite anime characters. But most of those characters are so niche that her coworkers are oblivious to the connections - leading them to simply view her as being "clownish".
Cosplay
She adores cosplaying and will often come to work in full costume. Some of those costumes are sexually inappropriate for the workplace. Others are just... baffling to her fellow teammates. She sometimes gets annoyed when no one else in the office has any knowledge of the character she's trying to mimic.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
T
eena identifies as pansexual and polyamorous. She's also a virgin - a fact that she obsesses about constantly. She's desperate to begin her sexual life, but her exceedingly awkward nature consistently ruins any plans to change her current status.
Employment
Intellectual Characteristics
O
thers are often flummoxed by the consistent inconsistency in Teena's work. She can complete one project with stunning aplomb - and then fail miserably on the next. While she can deliver stellar results when focused, she has difficulty maintaining that focus and at times seems wholly disinterested in the task at hand. She sometimes steals away large swaths of time to concentrate on personal endeavors that have no bearing on the company.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Baromon wasn't born on the mining planet of Venuvius. He was born on a Perithian slave ship in the Coronese system. I thought EVERYONE knew that.

Useless Details
She has a stunning proclivity for odd bits of useless trivia - especially as it pertains to her personal hobbies and interests. Not only does she religiously follow many of the day's most popular sci-fi and fantasy franchies, but she also delights in learning every aspect of the worldbuilding that goes into those stories. Sometimes she speaks about such matters with such unfettered passion that it's difficult to discern whether she truly understands those stories to be fiction.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
T
eena has an unnatural obsession with her own love life (or lack thereof). This tends to color many interactions that should otherwise be kept in a professional realm.
Outcast
She sincerely wants to be accepted by her peers, but her slavish obsession with esoteric media causes most to shun her. She's haunted by the fact that she's rarely invited to social functions. She's even more bothered by the reception she receives in those rare scenarios when she's included in group activities.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
T
eena is exceptionally forward. This is most evident when she's talking about romantic goals, but it's just as problematic when she's addressing other subjects. She will invite people to participate in events that presume a certain familiarity - a familiarity that she rarely shares with the subject of her conversation. She has proposed to at least six different coworkers in the past - even in cases where she hasn't gone on a single date with them. She sees nothing wrong with asking casual acquaintances about intimate - and senstitive - details of their life.
Hygiene
T
eena is known for... questionable hygiene. Her apartment is filled with many animals, and the maintenance of those animals sometimes "rubs off" on her. She's considers laundry to be a bi-annual event. She doesn't necessarily "stink" - depending upon your affinity (or lack thereof) for patchouli. She rubs her armpits daily with a "cleansing crystal" - and nothing else. She doesn't brush her teeth - at least, not in the traditional sense. She always has a frayed stub of hickory branch in her pocket that she periodically rubs and scrapes over them.
Social
Contacts & Relations
A
ll of Teena's contacts outside Hegemony International are firmly ensconced in the gamer / RPG / LARPing / cosplaying / conventioneering communities. She counts many of these people as her "friends" - although not as many people would view her in the same light.
Religious Views
I was born with vampiric essences. But they're in constant conflict with my secondary moon sign.

S
he thinks of herself as Wiccan, although her actual beliefs are more accurately defined as a bouillabaisse of quasi-spiritual practices that she's cribbed and borrowed from the many RPGs that she plays. She owns a virtual quarry of crystals and she can recite the exact use-and-purpose of each one. She believes that asking others about their astrological sign is an excellent "ice breaker". She has a firm belief in the existence of magic. She talks endlessly about vampires and werewolves - often with such conviction that it's unclear if she truly believes in their existence.
Social Aptitude
T
eena has no social aptitude. Her mere presence can bring an otherwise lively party to an end. Few people ever "get" her jokes. Her laugh is reminiscent of a braying donkey. She sometimes drinks heavily in an effort to "fit in" - a development that inevitably leads to her getting shit-faced, sloppy drunk. She's often a "close talker". Even when she's not directly involved in the conversation, she often stands uncomfortably close to others. Sometimes she absentmindedly looms directly over someone else's shoulder.
Hobbies & Pets
S
he maintains a virtual menagerie consisting of at least three lizards, a tarantula, a ferret, and seven cats.
She adores cosplay and cosplaying conventions. Her closet is stuffed with costumes she's previously worn to such events, and she frequently cannibalizes those costumes to craft an odd hodgepodge of "work clothes".
Rules Lawyer
She's an inveterate gamer, with a particular obsession for roleplaying games - and especially, LARPing. Although she's a member of numerous roleplaying groups (or "guilds", as she calls them), she also has a history of being ostracized from such groups because she's prone to sparking long, lawlerly, and passionate arguments over gameplay rules.
Speech
S
he's known for interrupting conversations with her own obscure stories - stories that typically have no connection to the existing dialog and often go... nowhere. She'll seize any opportunity to steer the conversation to the backstory of the sci-fi/fantasy franchises which she adores. She's been known to proposition people in the strangest of moments - even while others are painfully observing the awkward spectacle as it unfolds.
