Name: Opal Hampson

Age: 16

Power: Heh heh...about that...Opal doesn't actually have any natural powers. She is a mechanical genius, and is able to, given enough time, create tools that replicate the powers of others.  Currently, the only inventions she has is the clothes she wears.  They appear to be just normal, if not colorful, clothing: a blue hoodie, a white tank top with little red and orange flakes, blue jeans, a green scarf, and white shoes and socks.  But this outfit is anything but normal. Sewn into the clothes are large amounts of tiny, powerful lights.  These lights can be manually controlled by a bracelet sewn into the left wrist of the hoodie, but can be remotely controlled with a ring on her left hand's ring finger. In the center of this ring is a small piece of opal. When she presses down on the opal, her clothing begins to glow, softly at first, but brighter the longer she pushes down the stone on the ring.  For extra security, she has made it so that the ring only responds to the wearer.  She calls all this "The Opal Suit".

Symbol: Opal (not the common white kind, but the more colorful ones)

Bio: Opal is the only daughter of Emily Hampson, a well-known geologist in the science community, and George Hampson, a less well-known inventor in, well, every community, and inherited the best traits of both of them. She's, as I said before, a mechanical genius, and has been creating little gadgets and gizmos since she was little. She also has extensive knowledge of jewels and minerals. At the age of 16, she started hearing rumors of a school.  A school full of people who...adopted traits and abilities of different types of gems.  Opal, of course, was curious.  She told her parents about it and preposed a plan: she would pretend to be special using one of her inventions, and study the students from the inside, nothing more, nothing less.  So she applied for the school, and got an opportunity to get in.  That is, if she fools them. 



Is it ok if her first scene is of her and the headmaster, where she's basically talking to him about joining the school even though she'd be getting a big of a late start?  I think it'd be a nice, simple opportunity for Gem to figure out that she's not actually special.
