She is dating Beck Oliver, and while their relationship goes through ups and downs, they always come back to each other. Her fashion reflects her dark and edgy personality, complete with teal highlights and an eyebrow piercing.

First, you could purchase a long brown wig and braid it yourself; otherwise, if your hair is long enough to support a braided ponytail extension, one of those will suffice instead.  Tyrian is a sadistic serial killer who often bursts into unprompted bouts of maniacal laughter.  His costuming includes a white open-front vest and matching pants, along with bandages on his arms, forearm guards, a chest harness, and brown boots.  He disguises his scorpion tail by winding it around his waist like part of his belted harness.
