[b]Abilities:[/b] N/A

[b]Personality:[/b] Shakti is severe and judgmental, with a tendency to be condescending to those who do not meet her high standards.  She is a perfectionist and places high value on individual effort.  She doesn't believe that systems, environments, institutions, or fate can truly stop a motivated individual and won't accept that excuse from anyone.  Shakti is driven when it comes to her goals and will do whatever it takes to achieve them, though she is too straight-forward to be a schemer.

[b]Fears:[/b] Trypophobia. Invasion of personal space, body, and mind.  She hates the idea of something getting under her skin, figuratively and literally. She believes there should be an absolute barrier of fear dividing any two individuals at all times.

[b]Bio:[/b] Shakti was raised in India by fairly affluent parents who provided her with the best that could be found.  Their expectation of her in return for all this was that she excel in her studies and become a 'global citizen'.  She grew up in an educational system that still clung very strongly to the vestiges of British influence, so she learned to speak perfect English and wears a uniform to school.  Rising to the top of her class, Shakti became something of a ruthless ice queen.  With her whole future ahead of her, her biggest worry in life right now is deciding what field she wants to focus on in higher education.
