[indent] Due to her ethnic background, Lynwen has wavy, dark brown hair that looks black when not under light which she keeps short in a messy bob-cut, the end of the longest strands falling just shy of the top of her shoulders. She takes after her mother in regards to facial features and lithe body structure. She has high cheekbones and an oval face that ends in a sharp and pointed chin, framed by short side-fringes that are just a little longer than the rest of her hair. Her fairly-even-but-jagged forehead fringe is parted to the left and stops just above her slightly arched eyebrows, high enough not to get into her eyes when she does vigorous activities, or merely tilts her head down. She has a straight nose, thin, firm lips that are faintly pink and a strong jawline, making her more handsome than pretty. Her eyes are gunmetal-blue, staring piercingly out from under heavy-lidded eyelids, giving her a consistently bored look, as though she is always a minute away from dozing off. Her usual outfits consists of sneakers, long-sleeved turtle necked shirts and slacks of blue, grey and purples.

As a yoga-enthusiast, she can add excellent flexibility and muscle control to her physical attributes. Due to her short height and legs, Lynwen has gotten used to needing to keep pace with people with longer strides than her, thus, her steps are always brisk and purposeful. Not to mention, her posture is ramrod straight no matter if she sits or stands as she wishes to appear taller. Her height is something of a sore spot due to her family members all being a good few inches taller, and her refusal to wear uncomfortable heels just makes her all the smaller compared to her sisters and mother.[/indent]

[indent] Lynwen has many different aspects to her personality. She is often serious, maintaining a bland expression which can turn into a sharp scowl if faced with something – or someone – she dislikes. As a member of a small, tight-knit community, her status as a person with abilities is sort of an open secret in that everyone knows, but no one mentions is aloud, even if they do keep a close eye on her. Thus, she tries to appear bland and unassuming. Her average looks, casual clothes that allows her to fade into the sea of youths around her age and mild-mannered speech all contribute greatly in making her seems like an ordinary, boring person. 

But unknown to mere acquaintances, she has a humorous side, often displayed in the form of dry or sarcastic comments, especially when hanging around the few people she fully trusts – those with abilities or otherwise. People on that list includes her immediate family, a few select childhood friends, and a little old lady running the local bakery. Lynwen only allows herself to be carefree, loud and active when in a place she feels safe, such as her home and her university’s club room for metahumans. She is relatively caring in that while she doesn’t believe in sugar-coating the truth no matter how harsh it may be, she will break the news gently if that person is close to her, or is in visible distress, close to breaking down. 

Lynwen is extremely practical, and strives to be a woman of sound moral principles, and would stand by them no matter what it cost her. She can be stubborn and hard-headed when she believes she is right, and refuses to be convinced otherwise unless the opponent manages to bring sound logic into the argument. Though she has a sharp tongue and has no problems in standing up to others when she is in a temper, Lynwen is still the type of person who would give others a second chance when they had proven themselves worthy of it. She refrains from judging people by first impression alone, and usually reserves her opinion until she knows them better. While she might be a hard person to offend, she can't stand being belittled, and can get rather competitive, especially if that particular person proves rather challenging. Her temper is a slow simmering fire, not easily coerced to rearing up and retaliate, but the right trigger works like kerosene, making it explosive and abruptly, but dwindles down quickly. The right trigger? Threatening her younger siblings. The older ones can take care of themselves, but the younger were her responsibilities. [/indent]

[indent] Born in the small Dajia District in Taichung, Taiwan, Lynwen is the eldest daughter in a family of seven, and the third eldest child. She was there for the birth of every younger sibling after her, and thus grew rather attached to each of them, annoying as they can get at times. Her two oldest brothers were six and ten years older respectively, meaning that they were able to finish school and move on with their lives even before she entered high school. Her oldest brother left to join the army, sending home electronic emails every now and then. It was during his third year in the army did he discover he was a metahuman, or more accurately, his team discovered it when he deflected a misfired energy beam. The army kept him on and continued to do so when he proved that he wasn’t going to get a big-head and go on a rampage. Lynwen’s family decided to keep this a secret to themselves.

Unfortunately for Lynwen, a little incident involving her youngest sister and a school bully turned into something more when her anger reached boiling point, and purple wisps started to gather around her hands as her emotions grew. She didn’t notice it at first, and only when her fervent wish of punting the bully into the nearby river caused a portal to open beneath his feet and another to open above the river that she eventually realised. But it was too late for her to will them close, for the boy dropped through the entrance and out the exit, splashing into the river before anyone could move. As her abilities surfaced before she could finish high school, it meant she couldn’t leave the town and had to face the stigma of being the second openly known metahuman in Dajia, which wouldn’t have been so bad if the first hadn’t gleefully used his powers to wreak havoc. But the people of the District were realistic, if nothing else. So while they judged her each time she passed their sight, they knew not to discriminate against until she did something truly drastic.

With two years of high school left and not wanting her studies to be affected just because her genetic makeup was a little different, Lynwen began to take advantage of her assuming looks and swapped her normally brightly coloured clothes for something more sombre and generic. She also took to wearing long-sleeves so no one will see the faint traces of purple wisps that sometimes linger for hours after she practiced her abilities at home. Already having experienced one metahuman in the family, the appearance of another didn’t really faze them, and for that, Lynwen couldn’t be more grateful. With this change as well as not using her abilities in public again, people start to relax around her again. ‘Far from sight, far from mind’, after all. The two years passed quickly and peacefully, and when the next summer came around, Lynwen was studying abroad in Australia, taking an undergraduate course in Environmental Science at the University of Queensland.

There, they had a special club room built for metahumans where they could just hang out, make friends and test their abilities against each other in good fun. Slowly, she began to relax and display her powers in public again. Well, semi-public, in this case. It was during the final week of her first year that a representative of ‘The Promise’ contacted her, offering her a place in the Academy, where she can learn to better control her abilities as well as finish her degree. Seeing the chance as something too good to pass up, she told her family about the offer, accepting it with their support. This would be her first year aboard ‘The Promise’, and she is looking forward to see what this institution can offer.

[indent] Lynwen possesses the ability to create a teleportation vacuum in which multiple people or objects can enter at the same time and deposited anywhere of her own choosing. The portals do not need a required space or surface to be create upon as it can be opened anywhere, even in mid-air. She can close this portal at will, and anything that does not exit the vacuum as it closes will be cut off from this dimension, supposedly forever as she has never tried to find out. It can be used for defensive purposes, for example, she can confuse and disorient people by forcibly dropping them into a portal, teleporting them away from their intended destination. Or it can be used to transfer projectiles/beams/objects away from their intended target and send them elsewhere. It is much easier and quicker for her to open portals where she can see it. In cases of long distance transport, she has to visualise it before opening the portal to deposit the people/objects currently in her portals. [/indent]

[indent]
[b]Limit 1[/b]: The size of the portal she can open currently is the size of an average human.
[b]Limit 2[/b]: She needs an entry and an exit portal currently, however, as her powers grow with her concentration and mental fortitude, she will no longer need to open an exit portal at the place she wishes the person/thing to exit at.
[b]Weakness 1[/b]: She can only open two portals at a time max, one entry and one exit.
[b]Weakness 2[/b]: The length of time she can open portals is directly linked to her stamina and endurance as it saps her energy each second the portal is held open for. She can hold it open for ten seconds, and is able to push it to fifteen at the cost of waking up with a sore body and a migraine. Another two results in bleeding nose and unconsciousness. Any further and death is very likely.

[hider=Relating to powers]
1) If the object does not distort space-time sufficiently around it (e.g. it is not moving at a sufficient percentage of C or if it is not of significant enough mass) then the distortion of space-time around it would not be able to overcome the integrity of the space-time "hole" of the portal, and the area of the object that fits inside the portal will be teleported while the outside that does not fit in will continue onwards. 
2) Since the portal is not a solid manifestation but a manipulation of space-time, one cannot grab onto the edge of they miss falling into the portal, or they fall into the portal against their will.
3) It is easy to tell when Lynwen is using/has been using her powers, as her hands, wrist and lower forearms are covered in dark purple wisps of energy identical to the dark purple outlines of her portals.
