Character Sheet for Sheila Thatcher
Character Description
Sheila is tempermental, no buts about it. You've got to catch her in the right mood just to say hello to her with favorable results. She's a mix of old school punk and rocker and holds her own well around others like that.
It's incredibly hard to become her friend and very easy to get on her "list".
She's very commonly found at either bars near her house or headed to some sort of concert.
Personality
She's crass, abrasive, in your face, and loves every second of it. She delights in making those around her squirm. This leads to quite a few people labeling her as "That bitch" wherever she goes. This is something she could careless about and in a weird sort of way, she enjoys it.
This doesn't mean she's like this all the time. When she's with a close knit group of friends, this falls apart and she becomes a caring, concerned person with an overwhelmingly strong sense of empathy. If you're a friend, you're one of the most protected people around her in her world.
This side of her is rarely seen, however, as she's very, very guarded for reasons she won't discuss with anyone.

Background/History
She was born in Australia to a very loving set of parents who had a hell of a sense of humor. She's resented being called "a woman" as a legal name, being teased all the way through school by unimaginative, yet loud, kids.
When she was four, her father was offered a new job which required them to immigrate to the US. She was upset about this at first, as most kids would be, but quickly grew to love her new home. She was pretty popular in school early on because of her slight accent, until the other children learned about her name and slang from her homeland, as mentioned above.
Through high school, she became a moody teenager as most do, but she grew to love the respect/fear she got from other students when she forced her will on issues. Sometimes this got physical, her strongly built frame allowing her to win most, but not all, fights.
Things only got "worse" afterward in college, because her dated way of looking like something of a plump Joan Jett. She benefited, however, meeting up with Josie Forscythe in one of her late, gen ed classes.
She gained a friend by extension after they started dating in Josie's brother, Skylor. He quickly became a confidant and occasional lover at the blessing of her girlfriend. Josie and Sheila's relationship didn't last long because of the former's flitting nature, yet they remained friends.
Currently, she works in a record store, berating customers for their taste in music, going to concerts, and hanging out at Papa Ferret's Cage on a very regular basis.
Relatives/Family
Mother: Jennifer Thatcher

World/Setting
The world in which this character comes from is a modified, modern world setting, similar to the world in which we come from.
Certain elements are different, however, owing heavily to the fact that the middle or "Dark Ages" did not last nearly as long for them, putting them a century or so ahead of us technologically.
Religion, however, still does exist, but is not prevalent in day to day life, similar to certain European countries. Most furs hold the opinion that someone's religion is "their business and not mine", so it's very rarely brought up.
This century hasn't led to many "world shattering" advances, however. Most vehicles run on hydrogen power, nuclear energy is dominant in most first world countries as well as other renewable sources.
Space travel is advanced compared to our world, but to only the closest of systems. Life has been found, but nothing remarkably intelligent as of yet that is comparable to the inhabitants of Earth.
Body
At 6 foot(182.7cm) 6'7"(200.6cm) at the ears, and 169lbs(76kg), she's a large, imposing woman with a bit of gentle roundness to her figure. She uses this very commonly to her advantage.
Her hair is blonde and usually kept in a modified flat-top/pixie cut combo, varying between the two depending on her mood at the time.
Her frame is powerful, however, especially in the legs as most kangaroos are. A soft layer of fat conceals thick muscles through her thighs, her calves giving a hint to what her thighs may hold.
Digitigrade, most of her height is in her feet, long with sharp claws on them.
Her fur pattern is that of a standard red kangaroo, making her appear nothing special in that respect to her.
Clothing
She glories in all things leather or denim, provided that those two are black. Jeans, however, are a hard thing for her to find comfort in, as they're usually built for less muscular legged females.
Her dress tends to make her look like a mix between an old school punk, thanks to her love of chains and clothing that's torn, and Joan Jett in the video for "I Love Rock And Roll".
Accessories
Chains on her pants and jacket, large rings on most of her fingers, her black leather wallet. She tends to carry a pair of brass knuckles illegally, but rarely uses them.
