Wow, I've never been tagged before! I missed this while I was off honeymooning, but I am pleased to finally be able to answer a tag.

The awesome ProfessorBlues kindly tagged my character PinUp Girl:

Here are the rules:

1. Post 8 facts about your character.
2. Tag 8 other characters.
3. Post their names with the creators avatars.
4. No tag backs (Well you can tag me again, but please chose a different OC if you do)

Okay, eight facts about PinUp Girl:

1. PinUp's real name is Paige Turner West Rockwell. She once worked in a boutique, but now she heads her own small fashion house, catering to superheroes.

2. PinUp is a legacy hero; the original PinUp Girl, Paige's grandmother, operated during WWII. Paige's mother was a hero for a brief period under the name Cutline, but she abruptly retired after a three-day ordeal at the hands of the Nazi group known as the Fifth Column.

3. PinUp has been training with Ari Rubin, a former Mossad agent, since she was sixteen. Ari is very strict, and he schools her in Krav Maga as well as knife fighting. Paige now also trains with her husband, Proud Citizen, in various other martial arts.

4. PinUp's outfit somehow incorporates a variety of hidden pockets in which she keeps her brace of fighting knives, a bunch of throwing knives, and a small but extensive toiletry kit. She always has Kleenex, red lipstick, a hairbrush and Pepto-Bismol tablets at hand.

5. PinUp's fighting knives belonged to her grandmother. They are a matched set of Case V-42 Commando knives, named Lilli and Marlene.

6. PinUp always wears a diamond pendant shaped like a large star. It was a gift from Proud Citizen, and once belonged to his mother, Valerie.

7. PinUp was proposed to by Proud Citizen in the strange but beautiful pocket dimension known as Ouroboros. They were married in a spur of the moment ceremony at a Golden Age Festival.

8. Pinup's hobbies include swing dancing, sewing, shopping, and collecting old superhero memorabilia.

Now to tag 8 characters!

1. Proud Citizen
2. Colossal Girl
3. Guidestar
4. Terratonic
5. Satin Doll
6. Nurse Midnight
7. Eternal Youth
8. Wingman

Thanks for the tag, ProfessorBlues!
