Character Symbols

When I think of Tandy I think of a tiger or lion. A strong confident animal. Tandy is confident and sticks to her gut and always believes in herself. In the first book of the series shes confident and nobody can knock her down. She believes shes always right and is a strong willed character, just like a tiger or lion. But in the second book, everything seems to fall apart for her family. Tigers and lions have a weak spot for family, their cubs, and Tandy has a weak spot for her family. When her brother, Matthew, is on trial for murder, she kind of looses it and doesn't handle it well. But when it comes to solving the murders of private school girls, she has no issue with investigating, even when it almost gets her killed. Even though Tandy becomes 'soft' in the second book she can still hold her own and defend her self. When it comes to defending her family, she will do anything. When Tandy thinks of something that could clear Matt's name, she will do anything to make sure it does and the killer is taken down.
