Signed up just for this. I apologize if this is too dark.
Name Elena Hargrove
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Description: Well proportioned, apart from her surprisingly large yet feminine hands, and considered to be exceedingly beautiful while clothed. She always wears a long sleeve shirt, and either pants or a long skirt out in public. Underneath her clothing, she is a mess of crisscrossing brutal scars, none of which are visible on her face, neck or hands.
Personality: Surprisingly sunny and usually very helpful with regards to other people's, particularly other powered individuals, problems. Any mistake that she makes, tends to make her mentally unstable, even after extensive therapy. Quick to trust, unforgiving if betrayed. Sleeps well at night.
Background/Trigger Event: Elena, like her older half-brother, has incredible talent with music. She started taking various musical lessons at five years old and quickly grew to love the piano. At age six, her mother, a twice divorced psychopath, saw her daughter's talent, like her brother's before her, and decided to use her to become wealthy. By age eight, she would receive a beating until she bled for each missed note and for any unnecessary flourishes she may have added to the music. At age nine she turned to her nineteen year old brother for lessons and that is where things got really fucked up. When she was fourteen years old the critics began to do as they always do to a child star, and began to point out her flaws, her music was too formulaic, there was no expression or life in her music. For this, her mother would beat her so that she wouldn't be able to move for days at a time and her brother would continue to whisper terrible lies in her ear. During this, "time off" she spent time analyzing and attempting to understand what was wrong with her. One day this analysis led her to both the correct conclusion and her trigger event. Her mother and brother died the same day.
Suggested Power: A sort of synesthesia based analysis of power and intent, along with a power generated keyboard that, when played, can bolster or hinder one targeted person's biological and certain powers based abilities.
Aptitudes: +5 Performing, +3 Driving, Recovery, +1 Reading, Talking, Sleeping
Weaknesses: -3 Athletics, -1 situational awareness, -1 electronics
Quirks: Power associated synesthesia causes her to see non-powered individuals as exceedingly bland and comes off as aloof towards them. Intense criticism causes extreme damage to a fragile self esteem.
