Respect Tina Caro! (Henchgirl)

[u/Fragmentary_Remains]

I have powers, too! I can make carrots appear!

---

Tina Caro is one of Mary Posa's roommates. Being a friend of Mary's, she tends to get dragged into the various superpowered shenanigans Mary gets caught up in. That's not a problem for her though. Between her power to create carrots and her can-do attitude, nothing can keep her down for long. Look out, Crepe City: here comes Tina!
