* '''''Tail:''''' While there are definite limits, Tigra can do very basic things with her tail, such as grabbing a door handle or wrapping around a beam to hold her weight, though that would become uncomfortable quickly. Beyond this, it merely behaves on its own, as a feline's tail often does.

|Skills=----------------------------------< Combat >----------------------------------
|Skills=* '''''Combat:''''' While untrained formally, Tigra's skills in close combat come naturally due to her physiology, quickness, and reactions. Her style is best described as "controlled fury," at least when she's in control of herself. Hack and slash is the name of the game, staying a step ahead of someone else whenever possible. However, someone well-trained and good with tactics stands a better chance of outwitting her or luring her into leaving an opening to exploit.

--------------------------------< Detective >---------------------------------
* '''''Detective:''''' Tigra learned a thing or two from Bill Nelson prior to his passing, then focused much of her time in trying to follow in his footsteps. As a private detective, paired with her feline abilities, she's grown into no less than perfectly capable at her job when it comes to investigating a crime scene, tracking a suspect, and things of that nature.

---------------------------------< Science >----------------------------------
* '''''Science:''''' Showing an interest in it in school and taking courses toward a degree at one point, Tigra felt an affinity toward the natural sciences, including physics, chemistry, and biology. Going forward, how much of that knowledge factors in remains to be seen, but she has at least an intermediate to advanced understanding of these subjects as far as a typical college education is concerned. She could make a decent assistant depending on the circumstances.

---------------------------------< Stealth >----------------------------------
* '''''Stealth:''''' Tigra understands how to be quiet, and she even has soft pads on her feet to aid in this if she's really trying to sneak around without being noticed. In part, this is a natural gift. It can also be improved further through instruction from those better at it than she is.

---------------------------------< Survival >---------------------------------
* '''''Survival:''''' It's not something anyone really does by choice, but there are select abilities that make someone more likely to get through rough patches in life. Knowing how to build a fire, defend or fortify an area, and things of that nature are good, but they aren't quite in the scope of Tigra's knowledge yet. Primarily, it's in being good at hunting, killing, and eating what she catches, if she's forced to go that route. Being part cat now, she's willing and able to do it.

---------------------------------< Tracking >---------------------------------
* '''''Tracking:''''' Much like stealth, this comes mainly from the natural abilities Tigra possesses. Having enhanced senses that go well beyond normal human ranges means she can spot, hear, and otherwise sense things most cannot. When it comes to hunting, this is invaluable.

|Resources=* '''''Cat Amulet:''''' This is the only way Tigra knows that will allow her to "be" human again, though it tends to take a specific reason for her to use it. Through a touch and clear focus, within seconds she can go between forms while maintaining a comparable appearance sans all feline characteristics. This comes with a complication. If she is parted from the amulet, she cannot turn human at all. If she's human and it happens, after a day she will begin to turn back to her feline form, taking an extra day or two before it's complete. Whenever the amulet is in her possession, her control over the change is absolute.

* '''''Cat People: Along with her ties to Dr. Tumolo, Tigra is essentially one of the Cat People herself. Just as they have the Balkatar as their champion, the "Tigra" is an identity that has gone from one member of the Cat People to another. Exactly how that may be affected now that she's the Tigra remains to be seen, but there is no question about her connection to them. There may be a time she must call upon them for aid, or they could require her assistance again. It's uncharted territory now.

* '''''Dr. Tumolo:''''' At this point, Dr. Joanne Tumolo is someone with an obviously close and vital connection to Tigra, having saved her life in the process of turning her into what she is now. She could be sought out for advice or other basic needs, and she has ties to the Cat People by way of being one herself.

* '''''Money:''''' Far from rich, Tigra does have enough from her time as a private detective to live comfortably, and there is a pension she receives following Bill Nelson's death. It isn't much, but something is better than nothing.
----------------------------------< Money >-----------------------------------
|Weaknesses=* '''''Appearance:''''' One look at Tigra is proof enough to understand she's abnormal. This will undoubtedly lead to both good and bad experiences for her. Even though she has the ability to give off the image of looking like anyone else, she seems reluctant to do it unless absolutely necessary.

|Weaknesses=--------------------------------< Appearance >--------------------------------
* '''''Catty:''''' Basically, Tigra is no longer the woman she used to be. She is both woman and feline, with all the pros and cons attached to it. There are times where it's difficult to tell which side is more in control, especially when she's driven by feline instinct and impulse. It could take creative efforts to get her to focus on whatever's more important, but she's just as prone to placing more interest in finding a sunny spot to nap as she is to deal with the bad guy of the moment. Needless to say, this holds the potential for added distractions when they're least wanted.

----------------------------------< Catty >-----------------------------------
* '''''Flirtatious:''''' Whether or not it's part of her feline nature, Tigra may say or do things that can be taken as inappropriate by others, though some could be receptive to her attention. Speaking of attention, that's normally the reason for it. Whether or not she has true feelings toward someone that causes her to be drawn to them, it's most often an attempt to seek some sort of indulgence. No telling how long it might last.

-------------------------------< Flirtatious >--------------------------------
* '''''Human Form:''''' In the event Tigra uses the magical amulet she possesses to turn human, she loses the feline abilities that come with the Tigra form itself. This means no senses, no claws, no tail, and especially no feline appearance. She'd still be considered in peak physical shape for any human, even stronger and faster, but only about on the level of a top professional athlete or Olympian.

--------------------------------< Human Form >--------------------------------
* '''''Impulsive:''''' Tigra can be like a sudden Nor'easter, calm one minute, raging the next. It's not so much an anger issue as it is an "Ooh, shiny!" sort of thing where something will suddenly capture her attention, be it a thought, object, or person, and she's off doing something else. It can make her difficult to rely on at times, but it's only a problem when her focus drifts. Or, more likely, she just has a "cat" moment.

* '''''Magic:''''' While she doesn't really know anything about it yet, magic is the primary reason Tigra is what she is. She knows enough about using her amulet to go human or return to her feline form, but that's it so far. She absolutely believes in magic as a real thing, but it remains to be seen whether or not she can actually learn more about it or if her abilities begin and end with the amulet. Perhaps not a specific Weakness or anything else in particular, but there is the potential for it to be manipulated.

* '''''Senses:''''' While heightened senses are frequently a benefit, they also have the very real potential to be a hindrance. A strong sense of smell can be manipulated, just the same as sharp hearing can. Interfere with her senses by using various attacks that affect her by odor, sound, light, or even pheromones, and she may be left unable to contribute to dealing with a problem.

* '''''Widower:''''' No matter who or what she is now, there's no forgetting that Tigra's first husband was killed, leaving her a widow. The love of her life was taken away from her and there's always the possibility those nightmares will resurface at any time, which could leave her despondent and sullen until she's able to get past it again. It could also have the side effect of preventing her from getting too close to anyone else beyond flirting, out of fear she could love and lose someone a second time. Just because she's been through all of the grief doesn't mean it will ever fully end, but there's always the chance she'll meet someone that will put all of that behind her.

Profile

Once just an ordinary woman with enhanced abilities thanks to a special suit, circumstances led to Greer Grant-Nelson truly becoming the cat she only played at being previously. Details are lacking, along with a general awareness of who she'd been, but Tigra remains behind, an amalgam of woman and beast that exists to protect those who need it, and battle those who would do others harm.
