Body
Tyne stands at just about 5'3 and doesn't get much taller than that - she hates heels! Her body in general doesn't appear too much to look at. She describes herself as having minimal curves. Although she doesn't do anything to highlight any particular part of her body, Tyne does think her butt tends to stick out sometimes. Her skin is more on the pale side and dries very easily. She goes through at least five bottles of lotion for her hands every winter.
Eye Color
Brown
Hair
A natural brunette, Tyne recently dyed it more of a shade of black and absolutely loves it. It definitely helps set her apart from her younger sister. It has a slight wave to it and almost hits her chest, although appears longer when wet. The only thing Tyne did to change it was the color; she's not big on spending more than five minutes on it. What's the point? It's just going to get covered in charcoal or something and get washed the same night.
Style
The best way to describe Tyne's attire is probably tomboy as she hates girlie. Some girls love it and can work it and that's fine, but that is not her. She doesn't do dresses or heels. Just give her something simple, preferably in dark or cool colors, and she's fine. But don't mistake those shades for a goth girl; Tyne doesn't love black that much!
Health Issues
Tyne sits hunched over a lot, especially when she has a sketchbook and doesn't get up for a while, which resulted in the middle school nurse believing Tyne had a slight case of scoliosis. Tyne wore a back brace briefly so she assumes it's corrected or that there's nothing wrong even though she still hunches over.

Family
Father - Austin Germaine Tosoto, IT - Austin has been the only parent Tyne ever knew. He raised her on his own since she was a baby and hardly brought any other women into her life. And with the handful Tyne has proven to be, he didn't always have the time to focus on girlfriends. Austin had few relationships in his life and, of course, one of the most meaningful was his girlfriend who blessed him with Tyne. Unfortunately she passed away suddenly when Tyne was a baby. He did date a woman named McKenna a year after, but she was only around for a fifteen months before they broke up. After her, Austin didn't bring any other dates around his daughter. He's made a comfortable living working for an IT department. He had been studying computers since they became more and more common and has multiple notebooks filled with various information on different brands, programs, you name it. A bit old school, Austin would prefer that Tyne follow his example and look for work in a field that is always in demand and growing. However that has not always proven to be successful. And when he found out he had another daughter, Austin's attention became somewhat divided. While he still very much worries about Tyne, especially while she is away at Metric, he is still in the process of getting to know the daughter he never knew existed until a few years back. Maybe if he's lucky he can be one for two.
Sister - Corrine Delaney Glenn, Student - Corrine grew up with her single mother, McKenna Glenn, never really knowing her father and having very little family. In a twist of irony, she and Tyne have a lot in common. They have the same face, the same hairstyle, identical voices, and they both lost their mothers at a young age. Corrine ended up living with her grandmother for a few years until she could not be cared for anymore. The grandmother had to relocate to a nursing home, leaving her with no choice but to connect Corrine with Austin. It was very surprising and a lot for a preteen to take in. Fortunately for her, Tyne seemed to assist with the transition. There was always someone there to watch out for her and to make sure she was ok. Corrine is currently a junior in high school with quite a bit of musical talent. Although there are times where she is still very much not in her element in unfamiliar surroundings, she keeps in touch with Tyne at Metric - who is attempting to convince her to apply there for college! Corrine is also potentially considering legally changing her last name to the same as Austin and Tyne's - when she's graduated high school and of legal age, of course.
Backstory
For as long as Tyne could remember, all she had was her father. Well, that and a very poorly chosen first name. Although Tyne lost her mother as a baby, she never felt like she was missing out on much. Austin was always such a good father to her and did what he could for her. Honestly, Tyne doubts her life would be much different if her mother were still alive.
Although Austin was never much of a dater, he did try to get back in the game when Tyne was young. His first serious girlfriend was with a woman named McKenna. Tyne doesn't remember her all too well, but Austin swears when they broke up that Tyne took it very hard. He hadn't brought another woman around since. Not that Tyne would completely blame him; some people would be lucky to have a relationship last for a year and a half. But things happen.
It was probably for the best that a 'new' mother was never brought in anyway. Tyne was always quite a handful. She learned to speak up for herself - or rather talk back - at a young age. While most other little girls liked dresses, dolls and tea parties, Tyne was more of a tomboy. She didn't mind if she got dirty. She liked messy clothes. And she hated tea time. There was a bit of teasing for her being the odd girl out. But Tyne was never afraid to call anyone out for treating her different or making fun of her. Not for being a tomboy, and not for being a lesbian. Oh, some kids didn't think too much of the latter; not all elementary schoolers probably even know what a lesbian is. But they could learn some nasty habits from their parents. One time Tyne was playing House with another girl in her class and proceeded to joke about getting married. When the girl's mother found out, Tyne wasn't allowed around her at all. So much so that the kid was transferred. Talk about overreacting. But it never stopped Tyne from being interested in girls.
As a child Tyne was very loud, troublemaking and strong willed. This was proven not only in her personality but also in how she learned. School never came very easily to her. While other kids would sit quietly to work or listen to the teacher, Tyne would find a reason to open her mouth. When teachers would explain something, Tyne would insist they show what they meant or how something happened. Reading or explanations just never resonated with her. Tyne was always a very visual girl. That probably explained why art was always her best subject.
Everything took a turn when Tyne was in middle school. It was probably around eighth grade she recalled Austin getting a call from an old lady who said she needed help with his daughter. Apparently the woman he dated years ago, McKenna, had a daughter and never told him. Her name was Corrine and her grandmother wouldn't be able to take care of her anymore. A nursing home was no place to raise a preteen and she had no other family to turn to. It was quite the shocker, not to mention a huge adjustment for all involved. Corrine and Tyne were so different. Corrine was more old school like Austin, kind of naive about the world and very musical. Tyne had no idea what to do with her let alone how to be a big sister. All she knew for sure was that the girl needed protection.
It ended up being one of the best things to happen to the both of them. Through Corrine, Tyne became more interested in the environment and how to be eco friendly. When Corrine sang or played music, Tyne saw things in her head that she wanted to put on paper; it made her feel more connected to art. And Tyne was able to teach Corrine how to grow more of a backbone and speak up for herself. Granted, it's still very much a work in progress. Corrine will most likely never have the big mouth on her that Tyne does. Still, the sisters rubbed off on each other for the better. Thanks to Corrine's music as well as her reactions to the work, Tyne was able to realize that her art could really touch people. Most artists painted pictures to sell or that got hung in museums or sold to billionaire types. Tyne wanted more than that. She wanted to literally make an impact on someone and be able to design things for them and only them. That was how she ended up deciding that a tattoo artist was her calling. Austin, however, wasn't too keen on the idea. While he didn't look down on anyone with tattoos, he was well aware that others did. Not to mention the stigma that came with the needles potentially transmitting diseases or that certain tattoos could get people killed. He attempted to urge her to go for something more conventional, even if it was still in the art field. Teacher. Graphic designer. Greeting cards. But Tyne wasn't hearing any of it. She had her sights on one of the best art schools she could find - Metric.
Putting all her eggs in one basket, Tyne applied to Metric her senior year in high school. When she ended up not getting in, there was no Plan B. Austin suggested looking into other schools while taking part time work; save up for the next semester. Tyne did find a job - a pretty ****** one at that. But she didn't apply to other schools. Instead she spent a semester taking online art classes, hoping to improve her craft and her portfolio for her next application to Metric. She attempted the next fall semester, determined to make this work and prove everyone who doubted her wrong. Ultimately, she succeeded. The year off did put her a year older than most of her classmates, but it was worth it.
Tyne now dorms at Metric and is constantly in touch with Corrine. She is still trying to convince her to apply there for college as well, since the time is coming soon. The school is amazing and the opportunities after will be out of sight, but it would be nice to actually have a friend on campus. With Tyne's personality and attitude, it''s not exactly easy to open up to people or get along with anyone. But the art classes are exactly what she needs. One thing's for sure - Tyne's not going to let anyone tell her she can't ever again!

Random
✏Tyne has attempted three times to get her drivers' license and failed. While she doesn't necessarily need a car to drive around Salem, it would be a lot better than taking the bus all the time.
✏Her preferred chapstick flavor is obviously anything coffee, Tyne has multiple flavors at her disposal. If she's going to kiss anyone at any point, she's going to be prepared!
✏Although she is very interested in calligraphy, it's still very much a learning process for Tyne. She knows a lot of people want something fancy written on their bodies so she wants to be prepared.
✏She and her sister pretty much have the exact same face. They could probably be mistaken for twins.
✏Do NOT under any circumstances call her Adrianna. She despises how girlie it sounds and will not answer to it.
✏Tyne aspiring to be a tattoo artist was partially inspired by Vanessa's character, Bay, on Switched at Birth becoming a tattoo artist.

✏Although it's very difficult for her not to waste paper as an art major, she will fit as much work as she can on one page. And when she runs out of notebooks or sketchbooks she will find other outlets.
✏It can be difficult for Tyne to find an actual job, let alone any part time work She does not like taking directions from anyone and highly doubts a lot of people even know what they're doing.
✏Although she wants to be a tattoo artist, she does not have any ink of her own yet.
