Following up on a post from a couple of days back, because why not?
She-Gator
She-Gator is the product of a well-intentioned but ill-advised emergency blood transfusion from Florida Man (with the assistance a slightly drunken small-town doctor). She'd been found out in the swamps, burning up with fever from an infected gunshot wound in her shoulder. When questioned she claimed to be one Anne-Marie Pratt, on the run from her murderous husband. It wasn't until after the transfusion that the sheriff showed up with news that cannibal serial killer May-Anne Trapp had busted out of the local women's prison. By the time the state police arrived to identify her and cart her back to jail her unexpected transformation was complete and she'd escaped again, this time through a gator-woman shaped hole in the back wall of Doc's office. If the agents hadn't immediately arrested Florida Man as an accomplice he might have gotten her back, but at this point he just wants to forget the whole incident.
May-Ann's mind is at least as scrambled as Florida Man's and she was pretty homicidal to start with, so it's no great surprise that she's more vicious and animalistic than he is. Unlike him, she's perfectly happy biting people and looks forward to doing it a lot in the future. With her new capabilities she's found a haven in the super-crime underworld as effective but temperamental muscle, and is nowhere near as interested in finding out who she was and how she got this way as Florida Man is. Very much lives life in the moment, this one.
Description: She looks almost identical to Florida Man, but a little taller with slightly narrower shoulders and a longer snout. She wears a custom blue-green one-piece woman's swimsuit, which is surprisingly modest considering she's no longer even slightly mammalian and has nothing to cover up top. Skips on the bracelets and boots (she doesn't care if her clawed feet wreck your carpets and scratch up the hardwood), but she does wear a similar black utility belt.

Tactics
She-Gator prefers to face enemies in a nice, watery environment where she can conceal herself just beneath the surface and then come lunging out for a hard-hitting initial strike. If she can start in an Amphibious Ambush like this she'll spend time using Riled Up But Good and taking basic Boost actions to establish a bonus or two to double during her first rush. On the round before she plans to spring her trap she might even do a basic Hinder with a mighty roar (Vitality + Amphibious Ambush Hunter) if it doesn't give away her exact position, which will further improve the damage from I'm Predator, You're Prey.
If she can't lurk in a body of water she'll simply use Riled Up But Good right away, then try to charge an isolated target and start ripping them apart. She doesn't like being mobbed but unless there are four or more enemies in the scrum she'll usually just stay to fight it out. She-Gator will only use Riled Up But Good a second time if seriously afraid or cornered.
Regardless of terrain, once she starts fighting she'll use Got A Taste Of You Now whenever she can, swapping between targets to maximize the bonuses it generates. Attacks will be blocked by her Just Making Me Mad reaction, which gives her even more bonuses to play with. These usually get rolled into extra damage, but she might save them for her reaction instead if feeling hard-pressed.
Her upgrade makes it easier to harvest bonuses from Got A Taste Of You Now while still concentrating on a key target, as well as upping her durability and damage output. Her mastery represents the difficulty of predicting the behavior of an animalistic half-amnesiac gator-woman escaped convict.
