Status: Mutant

Abilities: Telepathy, in that she can communicate with others, but cannot control them. She also cannot forcibly enter another’s mind. The subject must be willing, or must be unaware of her presence such that she can “sneak in”. Also possesses weak telekinesis – can’t move large objects, and has a limited range, generally can’t move anything that’s out of sight or more than a few yards away.

Birthplace: New York

History: Priscilla was the daughter of a wealthy Wall Street businessman who was frequently away from the house on business trips. Her mother possessed no strong mental capabilities, or none that she cared to exercise, and was therefore a rather airheaded, frivolous person who never had much time for her daughter. Priscilla went to a private boarding school, where friendships were superficial at best and manipulative power plays at worst. She learned that her most dependable companions were the characters (and authors) of her favorite books, which she began to carry everywhere.

When she discovered her powers, she made the mistake of trying to find some real human connection through them, and was quickly ostracised at school. Her parents withdrew her from the boarding school as soon as they were aware, and kept her mostly sheltered at home ever since. While she resented them for having such control over her life and keeping her so cooped up, she did her best to be civil with them in hopes of making some peace and maybe earning some freedom.

By pure coincidence, Priscilla was in the rural country visiting her aunt when the alien ships appeared in the sky. The elderly woman, unaware of Priscilla’s mutation and terribly paranoid, sent all of the servants away and demanded that she and Priscilla live in the basement to avoid abduction. The initial attacks landed nowhere near their area, and after two weeks Priscilla was anxious to be outside and away from her unpleasant relative.  They argued. Priscilla, in her frustration, let slip her control over her mutant powers and sent a glass of water flying across the room to shatter against the basement wall. In the stunned silence that followed, Priscilla closed her book, threw a few changes of clothes in a duffel bag, and stomped upstairs and out of the house without even a second glance.

Personality: Priscilla can be really awkward around others. She had an unconventional upbringing, and she’s far too aware of it in this new world where danger and struggle are the norm. Still, she strives to be friendly, and while she doesn’t trust others easily, she goes out of her way to find allies, even if the companionship doesn’t last long. She uses her powers only rarely, and even then, never in front of others.
