Wild Thing

Wild Thing is a teenaged superhero active in Colonial Bay. In private life she is Pamela Pine (Pam to friends and Pammie to her family).

Description
As Wild Thing: Wild Thing is a beautiful but feral-looking young woman of athletic build. She might be nearly 6' if she stood erect, but her normal posture is a wary crouch, more animal than human, and indeed she runs on all fours. Her wild, wavy blonde hair falls everywhere. When stationary she lets it fall in her face, partly obscuring her strong, beautiful features and piercing green eyes. The grace of her beastlike movement put cats to shame.

She's dressed in nothing but the tattered remains of a T-shirt and denim shorts: her feet are bare.

She exudes the confidence of a large predator, an astonishing sensual physicality, and pheromones.

As Pamela: Pamela is a girl of 16, standing 5'10" with an athletic figure. Her face has strong, but not too angular, features, her eyes are an amazing piercing green, and her wavy blonde hair reaches below her waist despite being tied back in a high pony tail.

She's dressed in a baggy sweater, loose jeans and sneakers, which might perhaps suggest that she's hoping not to draw attention to her body, were it not that her charismatic presence, erect posture alluringly graceful walk, sexy voice and sensual demeanour say otherwise.

The pheromones don't hurt, either, not that most people are conscious of them.

Origin
Somewhere in the world, around 2050, there was yet another officially non-existent super-soldier programme. This one was based around splicing both metahuman and animal DNA into trained and brainwashed loyal soldiers, and like most such programmes had only few successes. One of the successes was codenamed Jaguar. Unfortunately, the success was shortlived: their new powers helped the soldiers throw off their conditioning after only a few missions. They burned the research base to the ground and set off on new lives.

The changes had made Jaguar not only more of a wild man than a soldier, but increased his sexual drive and attractivness. Even before he found a new profession as a super-mercenary, he was busily sowing wild oats. And while his genetic abnormalities meant nothing came of many of his unions, in one case at least a child resulted. That child is Pamela.

Personality
Adolescence is a time of changes, but this is ridiculous. Pamela thought puberty was mostly done with her, leaving her a little short and chubby, doing nothing to alter her timid nature, and if anything driving her deeper into fantasy and roleplay with her geeky friends.

And then, over the last few months, her body decided to change her into someone else. She grew tall, and beautiful, and strong and athletic - impossibly so. She began walking with a confidence she didn't feel, and intimidating people who used to scare her. Everyone seemed to treat her differently - even her friends, to some extent. Sporty people seemed to feel they had more in common with her, while her fellow geeks shied away. Guys pay her an embarrassing amount of attention.

And her sharpened senses took her more out of her mind and into her body. Now she acts much more in the moment, with less forethought, often even on an instinctual level, driven by her senses.

The changes at once excite and terrify her. So many new things open up, but at the same time her sense of identity is threatened. Everything is overwhelming.

She is adopting a second identity largely in an attempt to separate the two sides of herself. As Wild Thing, she can explore the new her, while Pamela tries to hold to the old. But that is a losing battle.

Her mother and stepfather made a strong point of emphasising the wrongness of killing throughout her upbringing. As if they knew it would one day be important.

History
Pamela had a relatively unremarkable childhood, at least for a resident of Colonial Bay. She grew up in a Colonial Heights townhouse with her stepfather, a mechanical engineer, her mother, a dental nurse, and her brother Liam, a brat.

Pamela was a timid, insecure girl. She liked learning but found it hard to make friends at school, though gradually she fell in with other more geeky pupils, who like her seemed to like the escape of role-playing. They grew to be a regular gaming group.

Her parents never told her about her biological father. Not that there aren't clues: she resembles her stepfather not at all, and conversation tends to lapse into awkward silence around certain subjects. But she still thinks of her stepfather as Dad, and seldom wondered about her biological father till her powers began to manifest a few months ago.

The growth to her current height was rapid but not incredibly so, and she could pass of her improved physique as the result of exercise and her improved looks as luck, but still there have been consequences. She has on occasion misjudged her athleticism, impressing the PE teacher, which, combined with her claimed new interest in sports to explain her new musculature, has led to the teacher trying to encourage her to join various sports teams, and she's running out of excuses. And then there's boys - a few scant weeks ago she was getting hardly any attention from them, and now she's getting too much. Or at least her body is.

Meanwhile, Jaguar has discovered her existence, by chance, catching her scent while on a job in Colonial Bay and realising what it must mean.
