Sylvia Douglas, the Dowser

The Canidean

Nationality: American

Height: 5'11"

Eye color: Right eye blue, left eye green

Physical Appearance: Long, silky hair tied in a ponytail when it might get in the way, E-cup breasts, bubble butt, otherwise toned and athletic. Has ear piercings

Occupation: Dowser, author, and American folklore expert

Weapons/Items: dowsing pendulum, maps, cameras, tape recorders, pepper spray

Personal Transport: Hybrid sedan, bicycle

Skills/Abilities:
-Dowsing: Given a sample of what (or who) needs to be found, Sylvia can determine its location to within a square foot, or a square mile if it's alive
-Outdoorsmanship: Sylvia is an accomplished hiker, camper, cyclist, swimmer, and rock climber
-Folklore Knowledge: Sylvia has spent most of her life gathering mythology, folklore, urban legends, and paranormal claims

Strengths:
-Survivor: Sylvia is hard to keep down, whether she's lost in a national park or being held prisoner by a criminal
-Iron Nerve: A lot of folklore includes some pretty unnerving stuff, so Sylvia has developed a resistance to things that would scare, disturb, or disgust an average furson - unless she's at a scary movie with a cute guy!
-Beauty: She's always a bit flirty, but she knows how to take advantage of her bombshell body and drive just about any male gaga - along with a few females

Weaknesses:
-Overeager: Sylvia is always eager to explore a new urban legend or a recently discovered bit of arcane folklore, and in her excitement she can easily forget to do things, leading to anything from mild discomfort to mortal danger (she once forgot to pack tampons on a trip to Chichen Itza, for example)
-Trouble: Her flirtatious demeanor and hot body can sometimes get her in trouble, whether its drawing the eyes of the wrong kind of man or earning the ire of jealous partners
-No Fighter: Beyond her pepper spray and a quick shot to the family jewels, Sylvia is completely unschooled in combat

Bio: Sylvia learned the ancient art of dowsing on her mother's knee, and hoped to become a superhero when she got a knack for it. However, the BOS rejected her claim, as dowsing was too easily faked, of insufficient utility, and impossible to verify. Unperturbed, she threw her efforts into another favorite activity. With her studies of Campbell and Jung, along with her skill at interviewing the isolated, elderly, and frequently dismissed, she quickly staked her claim as one of the leading folklore experts on the West Coast, publishing popular anthologies such as "Hoop Snakes and Hidebehinds", "The 50 Most Famous Hauntings in the World", and "Forgotten Curatives". She also makes a little money on the side as a professional dowser.

Personality: Optimistic, cheerful, and flirtateous. She knows not to believe every story she hears, but keeps an open mind and never outright rejects anything. She's also not afraid to show a little skin (or a lot), bat her eyelashes, and generally play up to a man's baser instincts.

Support for: Mostly mystically inclined superheroes, especially the Son of Shuck. She's one of the few mortals who knows Blake's double life, and frequently collaborates with him on his novels.
