She has dark brown hair and her brown eyes flash in anger. "Calvin, I can't believe you!", she yells, ignoring his discomfort at the way she draws attention. "First, you make me dress up in this silly outfit, then you bring me to this silly place and DESERT me when we see a dog who just happens to breathe fire and turns you to stone if you look at it! If we weren't in polite company, I'd fireball you right here!" Almost as an afterthought, she says to the toy, "hi, Mr Tiger. I'm glad that at least one other person besides me has some intelligence". As the girl turns around to go to the bar, the tiger straightens up and says, "ha! I told you. She likes ME better." "Shut up", the strapping young blonde man says. "Why did I bring her along? Girls are a liability." "She did think to icebomb that hellhou...", begins the tiger. "I said, shut up" interrupts the man. Suzy returns to the table with a PBJ and a glass of milk of her own. Smiling sweetly at the young man, she says "I got private rooms for both of us for the night." "What about Hobbes?" asks Calvin. "He could stay with me" she says smugly. Hobbes perks up, but Calvin says "no way. He's my tiger, he stays with me." "By the way," she purrs, still syrupy sweet, "I put everything on your tab."
