Human AU: Born human, still lives in a sci-fi setting (space stations, labs, mechs).Quarian-style AU: Treated as a quarian-like alien, heavily tied to the “Fat quarians” folder and “Mass Effect Tia and Zela” collections.Common to all AUs:Young adult womanHeavily obese / SSBBW body typeGreen hairWorks with robots / techGamer and sci-fi nerdYou can pick whichever AU you like for your own stories; the artist literally encourages readers to treat her as different AUs. Gamer / Nerd:“Tia on Gaming Final Fantasy” shows her in a gaming context.Collections and suggestions around “gamer sumo girl,” “Gensokyan Gamers,” etc., reinforce that she’s a gamer girl who loves video games and RPGs.Scientist / Engineer:“Science Wishful thinking with Tia” series places her in a lab coat, working on experiments.She’s often shown with robots, mechs, or tech.Gluttonous & Comfort-Loving:The “Fat quarians” and “Feed the fatty” folders are all about weight gain, stuffing, and food-centric scenarios.Titles like “Tia’s night to relax” and recurring snack/food imagery suggest she loves eating and relaxing after work.Cheerful & Social:In “Ask Tia” she’s set up as a Q&A character for fans, implying she’s friendly and open.The tone around her is generally upbeat and playful, not angsty.So a concise personality:

Tia is a cheerful, gluttonous gamer-scientist who loves robots, food, and relaxing, and is completely unapologetic about her size.

Likes, Dislikes, Fears, FlawsLikesVideo games: RPGs, JRPGs like Final Fantasy, anything with story and grind.Science & tech: Building robots, tinkering with mechs, “wishful thinking” experiments.Eating: Big meals, snacks, desserts; anything that keeps her full and happy.Comfort: Lounging, sitting on cushions, her “night to relax”.Holidays & Events: She shows up in holiday-themed art and seasonal prompts (the artist does a lot of seasonal content in the gallery).DislikesBeing hungry: She gets grumpy and unfocused if she goes too long without food.Tight spaces: Cockpits, narrow corridors, small chairs—all a struggle for her size.Equipment that can’t handle her weight: Chairs that break, cars that bottom out, mechs that need constant reinforcement.Being interrupted while eating or gaming: She likes her “me time.”FearsMobility loss: In some AUs she’s already borderline immobile; the idea of losing even more mobility scares her.Failing as a scientist: She wants to be taken seriously, not just seen as “the fat girl in the lab.”FlawsLazy: Will skip lab work if a game is good or a meal is too comfortable.Overconfident in her size: Sometimes assumes she can “tank” anything just because she’s big.Food-focused: Can be distracted or manipulated with food. Tales & Lore (Grounded in the Gallery)8.1 The “Tia and Zela” ComicThe artist describes the old “Tia and Zela” comic as “really bad so I’ll be rebooting it”, but from what we can see:

It’s a sci-fi comedy/slice-of-life comic about Tia and Zela.They’re often shown:In labs.In space settings.In gaming or casual situations.Tia is the more laid-back, gluttonous one, while Zela is often the more serious or uptight partner.8.2 The Robot & MechaTia is closely tied to robots and mechs:“Science Wishful thinking with Tia” features her with tech.“My Robot master selection” and related works show her interacting with robot characters.In one implied AU, she built a giant blue mech but had to heavily reinforce the cockpit to hold her weight. The mech’s walk is slow and heavy, mirroring her own gait.8.3 The “Fat Quarians” / Feed-the-Fatty ContextTia appears in the “Fat quarians” gallery and “Feed the Fatty” series.This means in some AUs, she’s:Part of a universe where quarians (or quarian-like aliens) are depicted as super-sized.Often involved in weight-gain scenarios, stuffing sequences, and food challenges.The artist’s own status makes it clear these are AUs and not strict Mass Effect canon.
