Powers "Mice are supposed to fight? But I'm just a little mouse. What is the word I am supposed to use ... what is it they call me ... " Thinking, the little mouse throws the big wrench over her shoulder and absentmidedly turns in place. Her slow spin has the wrench making a wide arc, threatening to accidentally strike all sorts of valuables, hard ones and softer ones too. She then blinks and stops sudden, her ears pink! "OH! Izvinitye! I am so sorry, did I hit anything? I hope I didn't? But now I remember, the word is dangerous, dangerous is what they call me." The little gray mouse looks down and scuffs her feet. "Not like ever try to hurt anyone." She looks up sheepi ... uhm, mousily. " ... its because of that other word ... clumsy. I ... I can park a tractor on a dime ... though every now and then it is still in ones pocket, da? And then miscount the number of steps when getting down. I keep the first one forgetting." She rubs her nose, brushing out a bit of concrete dust. "That is it. But I do have tools. A big wrench ... or nailgun ... or hammer ... or bulldozer ... depends on what is in pockets, da? Many many pockets have."
Weaknesses "A malin'kiy mouse is very easy to break, da? Mouses squish easily, da? Too easily. And squoooshed mouse is a very very sad thing. And then, then ... there are cherries!" Taking a small beloved jar from her jacket pocket, she holds it close, treasuring it above all the gold in Vayne Manor or World Domination. She sighs, quietly wistful. "Oh ... like spring in mountains, cherries, like sweet kiss of someone handsome, da?" She hugs the small jar to her chest and quickly changes the subject. "But without these ..." She takes off her coke bottle thick wireframes, "I have been known to hold hours of conversations with lamposts ... lampost are nice, but never have much to say."
Skills "Strengths? I can lift whole case of marischino cherries all by myself!" Hefting a very SMALL box she smiles proudly! "I can also sing, just a little bit, spent recession in shady lounge with balalaika, da? Can dance too. Swing and swish, tango and foxtrot and bravo. But ... " The little mouse looks up, her bright blue eyes sparkling like the sky on a summer day, "Mostly I am a construction mouse. I can ramrod steel, can put up a wall of studs in a heartbeat, wrestle mechanical systems, everything but electrical work. Electrical work, that's ... magic!" She hugs herself, "I also have my heavy vehicle license, da? Can drive all manner of construction equipment, backhoe, bulldozer, steam shovel, tractor trailer."
Alignment "My Alignment? Ya ni panimayu? Mostly, vertical, correct? For when horizontal ... truth, this malin'kiy mouse tends to fall asleep, da? Oh! You mean am I good or bad? I'm a good mouse, I am. Evil is just ... icky and its hard to explain to the foreman that you were late because you had to rob a bank or something."
Profession General contractor and construction manager
Affiliation TAK Construction Limited. That's me!
Description Tashka is a small gray dyevachka, slender of build, with winter sharp sapphire eyes sparkling behind thick wire frame glasses. Long straight whiskers add a splash of dash to her soft features, just a malin'kiy mouse she is, waifishly more svelte than curvy, just a hair less than four feet tall from her toes to the tip of her perked attentive ears. Her pace is sure, determined, the slash of her long tail dangerously traitorous at times. This mouse's smile is bright, and when she speaks her words are light and rhthymic, flavoured with the hint of not-from-here. A pair of rough cotton khakis she wears, many pocketed, stained with steel oils and charred by red hot rivets, cuffs looped over a pair of pragmatically heavy workboots. A blazing burgundy blouse of silk falls gracefully over her fine curves, and over all hangs an oversized jacket of midnight black, hanging open, falling down past her knees, sleeves tucked up over her lithe arms. The dashing jacket has a familiar cut, and almost seems to be missing something, like perhaps a terrorist's bandolier. Last, a small leather fisherman's cap rests upon her small head, set at a rakish angle.
Other Description
History "I grew up far away, where the sun only sets half the year, and there is far far too much snow ... *Achoo!* ... Father I know, he was a good man. His name was Kirill. Mother, mother was Eleni and she left when I was twelve. I don't like talking about Mam, da? It was accident, terrible. Who could have expected two hundred hungry kittens? It was sad, and I think Father was afraid to lose me too. So I went everywhere with him. He was a famous construction mouse. For birthday he gave me a tool belt, and this wrench, it was his favourite spanner. He taught me how to drive a backhoe when I was knee high ... well, to a tall person." She smiles, proud, "He raised me like son he never had!"
Major Events "Oy! What has happened to me since I first unpacked myself! So much, more than a malin'kiy mouse could ever expect! On first day, I met The Metallurgist, a nasty squirrel named Rhode Rage and was rescued by Buxom Gal herself! My first job, the reconstruction of Mass Confusion Towers. I have rounded up realms of little electric bunnies, parked a truck on a big nasty wolf and have been covered all in purple play-doh. Even been to hospital, so many times they now have little tag on bed that says Tashka Koromov!
