Patricia Tannis is truly the character of all time. She's a mad scientist. She's autistic. She's bisexual. She has objectum sexuality. She's the leading scientific authority on her special interest. She's a condescending asshole to everyone. She watched all of her colleagues die and spent roughly two years in near total isolation while slowly descending into madness. She was in a polyamorous relationship with two chairs and watched one of them get tortured to death. She wants friends so badly. She hates social interaction to the point that someone saying hello to her in the street caused blood to spurt out of her nose once, and she considered this a win because it ended the conversation. Someone called her pretty one time and she dry-heaved into a bucket for four straight hours. She is known to bite. She steals people's shin bones. She takes power naps inside a monster carcass. She calls her secret lab a 'terror pavilion.' She thinks music and people who like it are stupid, except for this one singer she enjoys. She's deeply attached to the people in her life. She's currently one of the most powerful characters in the setting, and her scientific curiosity is what set all the events of the series into motion in the first place. Patron saint of strange and offputting women. More people should be obsessed with her.
