Name: Mindy Yang

Age: 23

Height: 5’5

Weight: 58 kg

Parents: Joyce Miller and Carl Yang (Both alive; divorced)

Siblings: Kaitlyn Miller (Younger sister - Alive)

Mental Ability: Erasing – She can choose to ‘erase’ one thing (e.g. a single memory, an action yet to be made) from a person’s mind. For example, Mindy can stop someone from punching her by erasing the nerve signal going to the arm, make someone forget about what they had for dinner, and rid someone of the sensation of pain. The key to this ability, however, is ‘awareness’ meaning that Mindy can’t erase anything that she is not aware of. If a person launched a surprise attack on her, it is impossible for her to erase the action. It should also be noted that ‘erasing’ is nothing like ‘paralyzing’ and does not incapacitate anyone. And for memories, she can’t seem to ‘erase’ them completely and instead ‘represses’ them. Therefore, any memory she ‘erases’ can be recalled if there is an appropriate trigger of some sort but it would be difficult, like trying to recall an important word you forgot about while writing an exam.

History: Her parents were divorced as far back as she could remember, so Mindy was raised by her father alone. She is aware of the fact she has a younger sister living with her mother and knows her face from the rare, occasional photographs her father shows her. Unfortunately, since they never grew up together or met very often, she feels little to no connection to her mother and sister. They are “acquaintances that happen to be related by blood”, as Mindy puts it. Her father, Carl Yang, has attempted to re-marry a few times in the past. For ‘mysterious reasons’, his girlfriends always broke up with him after baby-sitting his young daughter.

At the young age of 7, Mindy found her passion and goal in life: fencing. She tried the sport out during a special ‘try any activity for free’ at a local gym and became instantly hooked. At first her father was thrilled that his daughter had found something she enjoyed and could devote her time to, but slowly became worried as she continued to insist that she would one day make a living off of it. He tried cutting off her lessons, strictly forcing her to focus on schoolwork, and constantly reminded her about the ‘harsh world’ for the talented. For a short while, he succeeded.

Behind his back, however, Mindy had other plans. Studying hard according to his wishes, she got into prestigious schools with fencing clubs and practiced behind his back. She obtained money for equipment and club fees by stealing bits of money around the house every day, then later got a part-time job to fund her activities and a proper tutor when she became of legal age to work. With in-born talent and hard work, she entered competitions and soon gained enough recognition for her father to concede and acknowledge the life she chose for herself. Called a ‘prodigy’ she claimed many trophies and medals, seeming to be on her way to a smooth and successful career in the sports world.

But one day, at the age of 21, she ran into a wall. Not literally, but a figurative one in her career. She was talented, but not as talented as those who beat her to win first place in the competitions. She put in more practice hours in an attempt to defeat them and regain her former glory. All she got for her efforts were sore muscles and injuries from over-exerting her body. There was little doubt in her actual abilities, but she could never seem to rise above third place in local competitions and was never chosen to compete in global ones. Discouraged and having to take time to rehabilitate an injured knee, Mindy took a temporary leave from fencing.

Now 2 years later, long after her knee has healed, she still shows no signs of coming out of temporary retirement. She currently lives by mooching off of her friends and, occasionally, her father.

[Psychic Mentality]

Strength: Mental Force – She could probably just erase most ‘protection’ people have in their minds to just sneak right in through their back door. Also, some things like erasing the signal to move a limb doesn’t even require contact with the brain but rather the motor neurons and therefore do not even require much breaking-and-entering.

Weakness: Mental Capacity – Her brainwaves can’t travel very far and requires her to be able to see, hear, and/or feel the target (technically scent would work too, but she’s not a dog and can’t obtain much information from just smelling something). Her ability also works in short bursts so there’s not much to be said about the duration of her brainwaves.

Occupation: Former athlete, currently unemployed.
