ORIGIN: During her childhood, Tunya was what she would define as "a geek." She wore prescription glasses and a metal retainer, and always wore plaid skirts to school. She loved her science and biology classes, and was very eager to learn. She was picked by other kids once in a while, but for the most part, she was ignored and had very few friends. Her mother, the great opera singer Salmone, made her take opera lessons from an early age. It was revealed that Tunya was a soprano with a wide vocal range, and could match almost any note thrown at her. Because of her training, Tunya could sing better than most people, let alone children her age.
As the years went on, Tunya's glasses were swapped for contact lenses, her retainer came off for good, and she dressed in the trendiest outfits. Throughout high school and college, boys were after her left and right. However, though she often went on dates, she could never seem to fall in love with anyone... mainly because the boys who wanted her only liked her for being beautiful. This trend would continue into her adulthood.
It was during college that Tunya realized just how good at singing she was. During a karaoke night her school was hosting, Tunya ended up singing quite a few songs because everyone begged for more. She made the decision to make a living off her singing voice. At first she worked as a lounge singer, and did some circuits for a few years.
Then one night, after finishing a performance in Farburg, she was approached by non other than Rancid Rabbit, head of Rancid Records. He offered to make her a star if she agreed to sing pop music instead. Tunya's mother didn't approve, but Tunya agreed anyway, and she became a hit sensation. Her first album made gold twice. She would later develop a rivalry with Biscuit Canino, who also worked for Rancid Records... but that's another story.
PROBLEM-SOLVING: Tunya thinks very quickly, often relying on her wits to solve an issue. If she is overwhelmed, she becomes frustrated and angry. If confronted physically, she can defend herself very well. The "dumb blonde" stereotype does not apply to Tunya, and she lets everyone know it.
MOTIVATION: Tunya, as a celebrity, lives to make her fans happy, and to share her music with the rest of the world. As a person, Tunya loves intellectual pursuits and experiencing all that life has to offer. She'll try anything once, but within reason. Tunya also wishes to meet the right guy and finally fall in love; she wants someone who'll love her for who she is and not what she looks like.
PERSONALITY: Tunya is strong, confident, and has a good head on her shoulders. She has her emotional moments, however. Her temper isn't short, but it is fierce. She's also a bit touchy-feely with people; if she feels sorry for someone, she will give them a hug without hesitation. She's empathetic and compassionate, and will get very defensive of others she cares about when someone is trying to hurt them. When Tunya is hurt in some way, she'll try to keep it to herself, but she's more than willing to open up to anyone who asks her to. In short, she's a beauty with brains and a big heart.
FRIENDS / FAMILY: Salmone Felina (mother)
NOTABLE TIDBITS: When Tunya was young, she would sometimes appear at her mother's shows to perform alongside her, or to do a song by herself; she always got a standing ovation. Also, she's a black belt in cat-fu.
