[color=teal][b]Powers:[/b][/color] [i]Bird-Manipulation.[/i] Noelle's gift manifested in the manner that she developed a mental connection to avians. It gave her the ability to sense their presence no matter where they are, and more importantly, the ability to dominate their minds. That might be a rough way of putting it, but it's the best way to describe it. Using her ability to dominate their minds, Noelle can practically command birds to do whatever she pleases, even on a large scale (She can manipulate birds three miles from herself). From commanding them to collect specific objects, to attack people. With her ability to manipulate birds comes with the ability to see through their eyes - to make a lame pun, she practically has a bird's eye view. Noelle naturally attracts birds (and other animals) to herself. It's not unnatural to see birds perched on the buildings, and powerlines, around her. If she stays in a single place too long, the birds will actually land on her. Which is a good sign that something's up with her. [i]Bird-Mimicry.[/i] What's more is that Noelle has the ability to morph parts of her body into birds. It is a painful, and meticulous transformation, but it grants her a variety of abilities. She can grow wings out her back, or turn her hands into brutal-looking talons, for example. There are many more examples of her ability. This comes with some permanent changes to her body, of course. She has much, much, lighter bones, as her skeleton is hollow. Which might sound like a detriment, but bird bones aren't fragile because they are denser to make up for it. So, Noelle can fall a little slower, and she can fly with her giant wings! In addition, she's a bit stronger, and her senses are much more keen - particularly her eyesight, since she has a bit of a Falcon-sight. Now, Noelle doesn't realize it yet, but she can transform into a giant half-bird hybrid capable of incredible strength and feats of speed. Or she can turn into a monstrously large bird with a fourteen foot wingspan. These are future feats. [color=teal][b]Skills:[/b] [/color] [color=teal][i]French.[/i][/color] Noelle is a native of France, so, naturally, she is fairly good at the French language. It's not uncommon for Noelle to break off into tangents in her native language. [color=teal][i]Photography.[/i][/color] Noelle, above all else, is [i]committed[/i] to her love of photography. She takes the most artistic photography pieces as practice for her classes. [color=teal][b]College Studies:[/b] [/color] [color=teal][i]Major:[/i][/color] Photography. [color=teal][i]Minor:[/i][/color] Art. [color=teal][b]Appearance:[/b] [/color] Noelle always had a rather stand out aura around her. She dresses, and walks, like a supermodel, and has a rather haughty demeanor. This is because of her inherent arrogance over her artistic talent, and her desire to become a model. She feels as if her soft, and rounded, facial features, are perfect for the runways and magazines. While her face is good, her body isn't. Noelle has a bit of a gut due to inactivity, nothing that'd make her obese, but she is definitely ashamed of it, and goes to any lengths to hide it while she loses this extra weight. She hides this underneath her clothing. She also isn't that tall to begin with, standing at five-three. Noelle's eyes are a light-blue color, and her hair is naturally black, but dyed an even darker color to stand out. It's very curly, but she keeps it long, nearly back length. [color=teal][b]Backstory:[/b] [/color] Noelle was born in Lyon, France, to a pair of French Diplomats that would regularly go out to different countries, and do business. Help Paris become more integrated with the rest of the world. However, after a publicized affair breaking out, the Delacroix family chose to move to America. They settled down in Aria Bay, around the time Noelle was thirteen years old. Throughout the years, she developed many friendships, and whatnot, but always had that artistic touch. An imagination that allowed her to connect with art, and develop her own ideas based off that form. With the help of a few photography classes, Noelle became an amateur photographer. It wasn't long before she finally graduated from highschool, and applied to Beacon University, Majoring in Photography, minoring in Art. [color=teal][b]Friends:[/b] [/color] N/A. Noelle's only friend is success! [color=teal][b]Enemies:[/b] [/color] There's a lot of people in Beacon University that don't quite care for her attitude. [/hider][/center]
