character information
name: Shalimar Fox
canon: Mutant X
canon point: End of Season 2
age: 29

background: here

abilities: Short version: Shalimar has a mix of human and feline DNA which has given her enhanced strength, agility and senses on par with a cougar or lynx. This includes the ability to sense encroaching danger even before she sees it.

Long version is outlined here

strengths: Shalimar is independent, capable of taking care of herself without being overly reliant on others, including her own team-mates. She is confident and not afraid to turn up the charm when she feels she wants to, finding it relatively easy to get along with just about anyone she doesn't perceive to be a threat.

Though her fiery personality may go some way towards masking it, Shalimar can be incredibly compassionate, particularly where it comes to other ferals - even those she and Mutant X start out fighting against. To the friends she comes to view as family, she is particularly loyal and protective and there is nothing she would not do for someone who has reached that level of closeness to her - she will even enter a burning building to rescue someone she cares for that much, when fire is one of her biggest fears.

Her determination to overcome a weakness inherent to Feral mutants such as herself reflects how brave she is - backing down just isn't something she does, and even when she's at a disadvantage she has the strength of conviction to fight her corner. She's also not afraid to trust her instincts, at least when she pauses to listen to what they're telling her.

weaknesses: Shalimar's independence often leads to her becoming reckless, acting on impulse and finding it difficult to listen to others when they express concern for her. Her pride and stubbornness can often be her downfall, and she doesn't care for any comment that may be suggesting that she is less than capable of handling a situation. She's not shy about expressing as much, either - she can be hot-tempered and not even her teammates are entirely spared if they manage to set her temper off.

This is all compounded in instances where she allows her heart to overrule her head - at least two of her romantic entanglements have led to her making decisions which weren't in her best interests because of how strongly she felt for the man she was with at the time. This can also work against her when she shows distrust towards someone she has personal history with (as happened with Nikki Rodgers). Another matter working against her is her territorial nature - those she is protective of, she can also be somewhat possessive of at least to the extent where she doesn't appreciate being made to feel like someone is trying to come between her and them.

job skills (optional): Strong fighting skills, excellent agility, keen senses
housing (optional): The higher the floor the better, but no real preference beyond that.
