She is capable of increasing or decreasing the efficiency and potency of various things. With her power she could manipulate how strong the structure of a floor in a hotel is either fortifying it to make it more sturdy or making it so flimsy that a powerful kick or gunshot could shatter said floor. [b]Personality:[/b] Anna is a very paranoid individual due to her upbringing and is very skeptical of others. She has severe trust issues and doubts most of what people tell her. She has a strong distaste for authority figures, and believes in the theory that power corrupts. She hates people who try to manipulate others for their own goals, and to her the worst type of people are politicians and preachers. She has a soft spot for those who she considers weak and vulnerable including the elderly, sickly, and young children, and no remorse for those who target or pick on them. She’s slightly schizophrenic often struggling with hearing voices in her head telling her what to do and sometimes will speak to a reflection of herself named Andrea that’s a manifestation of all the pent up rage and darkness in her. She often feels like she’s trapped, and forced to take the actions that she takes in life. [b]Background:[/b] Anna Reynolds was raised in an abusive house hold by her father Gray Reynolds, and her mother Melinda Reynolds. Her father was an abusive chain smoker who often lied and manipulated her and her mother. At the age of eight her father murdered her mother in-front of her explaining that the strong prospered over the weak, and not to tell on him because only the weak tell. With a warped father figure like that it was only natural that as she continued to grow she became increasingly paranoid, and fearful of other authority figures in her life including teachers and law enforcement. Anna struggled in school and was expelled in fifth grade for stabbing a student in the eye several times after finding out he lied to her. After that, her father moved them to Las Vegas where her father got a new job and was often away for “work”. Although when he was home he payed little attention to Anna except to beat or yell on her instead focusing on having sex with as many women as possible. Anna was forced to basically raise herself doing her best to avoid her father. In high school she befriended her next door neighbor Kenny, an ex cop and grew quite fond of him. She ended up confessing to him about her father’s murder of her mother, and Kenny promised to help. However the next day Anna was kidnapped and brought to a facility where she was injected and tortured. She was assaulted with various visions of Kenny being brutally murdered in various ways, and finally woke up in her own house. She went to go see Kenny only to find out he had no memory of their friendship, and was verbally abusive towards her. This caused her to break down, only for her father to come home and tell her to never try to tell on him again or face worst consequences from him and his work friends. Anna grew even more fearful of her father but that didn’t stop her from looking into his job. She knew he worked at a paper company called Primatech but was unable to find out any information about it. After she graduated from high school she got accepted to New York University and was happy to get away from her father. It was during an argument over her post graduation summer where she manifested her power for the first time in a fight with her father while also learning about his own power. Gray was surprised by his daughter’s power but none the less helped her hone it somewhat wanting her to be able to defend herself especially since Claire had exposed their kind to the world. Despite her father helping her gain some control over her power, she still wasn’t on good terms with him and was glad to leave to New York. She managed to start a new life but that was cut short when she learned how horrible her power was when her power manifested during an argument with a co-worker at her internship causing the entire place to collapse killing almost everyone. She was horrified by her ability, and grew more and more solitude focusing on her studies and vowing not to use her powers. It wasn’t until she saw the news about Tracy Strauss opening up a facility/school for evolved humans to hone their powers in New York that she felt like she had a purpose in her life. She applied for a job at the school and met Tracy, who helped her make amends with the violence her powers caused. She’s now working their part time while going to college hoping to get a degree in social justice and help people dealing with abuse both with and without powers.
