[b]Physical Appearance:[/b]
[INDENT]Mika is a girl that has a bit of thickness to her body. Mika has a few extra pounds on her, she's a little chubby. Her limbs have fat packed on them, and she has a bit of a gut. Not morbidly obese, one could put her in the chubby category. Her body is thicker than most girls. Of course, this extra body weight gives ways to some curves. Her thighs and calves are thick, and her behind is quite big and round. Surprisingly, Mika's arms have a bit of body fat on them, but either way aren't too notable. They're more thin than anything, though her upper arms are a bit fat. Plenty of this fat appears in her breast size, as they're quite large. All in all, Mika has an apple-frame. Though, if you're into that, Mika's body could be quite attractive. Continuing, Mika stands an inch above the female average at 5'6ft, and weighs 173lb, not too shabby. Mika's next defining feature is that, if the name didn't tip you off, she obviously has Asian roots in her. Her skin color is a whitish color with a heavy golden undertone. Her facial features give away clearly that she is Asian. To be exact, Mika is part Chinese, part Thai, and part Japanese. Not that one would be able to easily tell her heritage without having spent a lot of time around Asian people. At first impression, all people note is that she's Asian and that's it. Mika's skin, surprisingly, doesn't have too many stretch marks, and is rather clear at a first glance. There's a few stretch marks on her upper legs and arms, but, of course, nothing that can't be covered with some clothes. 

As for scars, fortunately, Mika has been able to keep herself free of them. Not completely free, like everyone, she has a few small scars here and there. Most interesting is that Mika has a mass of small, thin, slashing scars on her forearms and upper body. Like someone cut her with a small knife. However, these scars are fading. Mika does have some blemishes and moles here and there. Mika's hair is a very dark color, and is quite straight. Most of all, her hair is long, styled into a ponytail that reaches down past her back. With bangs brushed over her forehead, right above her eyebrow. Due to how well maintained it is, it's pretty clean. She keeps a flower braided into her hair (Usually a pink flower). Mika's facial features are round, aren't very pronounced, and are distinctly Asian. Her entire head has an even oval shape. Her cheeks are very round and somewhat big, but they blend into the rest of her facial features perfectly. They've been described as baby cheeks. Her jaw is rounded, and her jawline is somewhat, and it gives way to her square chin that blends into her jawline seamlessly. Mika's mouth is rather narrow, and her lips have their own size. She has a thin upper lip, with a much thicker bottom lip. Above her mouth is her large, upturned-shaped, nose, that has a bit of width due to it's large nostrils. It doesn't point out too much. Mika's brown eyes are almond shaped, and, consistent with her Asian roots, slanted. Above them are thin eyelashes that get bigger as they go inwards. Usually behind her round glasses. Mika speaks slowly, with a thick Chinese accent.[/INDENT] 

[b]Attire:[/b] 
[INDENT]One thing Mika has is that she has a sense of style. She has access to a variety of clothes that accentuate her figure. None of her outfits are really overtly expensive or Fancy, since Mika doesn't like to "overdo" it. Nice clothes are nice and all, but there's little point in walking around in wearing nothing but an expensive dress other than stroking her own ego. Otherwise, Mika's style is reminiscent of a "schoolgirl". A long, modest (Sometimes short), skirt, and a variety of dress shirts. Often she wears a jacket over the dress shirt. She'd wear other outfits, her style could be casual, or professional. Though never punk, tough, or rave. She hates those styles. Of course, Mika has very expensive, round, thin, metal rimmed glasses, that she never takes off.[/INDENT]

[b][u]Personality[/u][/b]

[b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b]
[INDENT]Vain, competitive, some might even call her spoiled. Mika is a girl that was known to put on a facade of elegance above all else. It shows in the way she dresses, the way she acts. She tries to appear as composed and in control of her emotions as possible. After all, she wants everyone to know that she's a woman of stature. It's a facade because it slips quite often. Often when she's pushed, or angered, she drops it in favor of a more "Uncivilized" persona she has deep down. Throwing hissy fits like a child, swearing, and insulting people. Mika walks around as if she is the queen of the castle, and top class. Looking down on the unsophisticated people in the world. To say the least, Mika would proudly avoid contact with anyone she deems "uncivilized". The people who fight, do drugs/drink, and act as if they have no sense. This trait often shows in the few, rare, instances that she interacts with them. A few offhand comments about them being "rednecks" (Or something along the lines of that), or she'd ignore them altogether. As to Mika, she's on a whole different level than them. Obviously, Mika is very haughty and egotistical. The one thing she'd hates more than interacting with them is being [i]upstaged[/i] by one. That's where her competitive attitude comes in. Mika simply hates defeat and would go to stupid/petty lengths to avoid admitting defeat. A trait that has gotten her in trouble more than once. Given the few fights she has gotten herself into. For all Mika wants to be is great. Mika rarely backs down from a confrontation, nor is she the type to quietly stand by and take abuse. For she is fierce when she is pushed. Whenever someone dishes out something, she gives it right back. Because like hell she would give someone the pleasure of "making her run away". 

Mika judges people based on their attire, demeanor, and actions. If they meet her criteria of an interesting person, then Mika probably wouldn't mind having a talk with them. She isn't anti-social in the slightest, just judgmental and vain. People who are rich are the kind of people who Mika would prefer talking to above all else. That isn't to say that she isn't willing to talk to someone who's middle-class, long as they aren't annoying. Well, people might say that she's annoying as hell. When in social situations, some people may mistake Mika for a wall-flower. She's quiet, and only talks when she has something to say. It is because she chooses her words very carefully, and always takes the time to consider what she has to say. People could say that she's very polite. A politeness she only demonstrates to her friends, rather than everybody. Because to her, politeness is what she should give only to the people who have earned it. Otherwise, she keeps quiet and absorbs information. However, if someone were to spark her interests, it'd be hard as hell to get her to shut up about it. Clothes, music, tennis, boys, and a variety of subjects are enough to set her off. A trait of hers that people find annoying as hell. She tries not to be annoying. Mika also has a problem connecting with people - her time at the Academy has showed her that more than anything. She feels that she's too different, and that is the trouble. She tries to connect to people to the best of her ability, but ends up pushing them away. Which is why her own group of "true" friends is small.

Mika is also a girl that is very slow to trust. Because of her wealthy past, she's always on guard. Even around people she may call her "friends". She always keeps one eye on people, and relies on herself more than anything. She always has a fear that people only want anything to do with her because she has money. Which is kinda why she has taken a liking to keeping her wealthy backstory a secret to the best of her ability. Though, it slips in her attire, and the way she carries herself. Mika reveals little about herself. The walls she has built up around herself let very little slip. To her, her emotions, past, and what goes on deep down are strictly off limits to others. When asked about them, she'll either dismiss them with one line, keeps quiet, or changes the subject. Not to say that she won't brag about her accomplishments or what she's done. Mika is proud to talk about those things. She'll gladly talk about the things that are within her interests. Just in case you got the idea that she's closed off about [i]everything[/i]. Nor is she completely sociopathic, she will give people a shoulder to cry on whenever she can. Other things she keeps a secret is the true nature of her power. To the world, she is a Telekinetic, not a [i]telepath[/i] or even a [i]Power Replicator[/i]. Mika knows that some people don't take too kindly to those types of Meta-humans. However, keeping her telepathy a secret allows her to be much nosier.

Naturally curious, Mika goes out and seeks new information and experiences. Especially the kind of things that people keep behind closed-doors. She's a mystery-solver. Whatever interesting mysteries present themselves to her, she goes out of her way to solve them. She could be called nosy, curious about what people try the hardest to hide, and willing to snoop around. Her telepathy makes this much easier. She wishes to be a journalist, so she believes this curiosity and investigative knowledge is crucial for. Mika also loves herself some gossip. Sharing and receiving, Mika loves talking about people's dirty rumours. In fact, she's the type of person who'd spread it herself! She sometimes peeks into people's heads and casually spread them as rumours. Mika is fully aware that it's a massive invasion of privacy and abuse of her powers. But, long as people don't know about it, then it's okay.

Mika is very in touch with her sexuality, and is secure about it. Mika loves guys, and isn't willing to engage in activities with the same-sex. She is flirty, and isn't afraid to walk up to the first hunky guy and present herself to him. If he's in her interests enough, then she's wholly willing to put aside her contempt for uncivilized people. She's gotten plenty of boyfriends and has experience with boys. However, she tends to degrade herself a bit with them. When she's stressed, she often throws herself in the arms of a boy for solace. Doing things that she would ultimately come to regret later. Mika has a strange fascination with hands. She stares at beautiful hands like a pervert would stare at breasts. It's often the one thing that she stares at when she's nervous about people. Speaking of which, Mika has a nervous tick. Whenever the gal gets nervous, she starts rubbing her hands. Often rubbing things on her hands such as lotion, water, or just anything she could get her hands on. She'd also flip if her hands are dirty, or greasy in anyway. Yes, hands are somewhat of a fetish for Mika. Actions with hands, and pretty hands, are a major turn-on for her. 



[/INDENT] 

[b]Skills/Talents:[/b] 
[INDENT]Skills? Well, Mika herself has said that she's remarkably talentless, and because she didn't have too many hobbies that would build them, she doesn't have too many skills. She hasn't exactly played too many sports, but she does play plenty of tennis has a hobby. And doing it for a few years has made her pretty kickass at it. Not that she would be going pro anytime soon, but she'll kick any beginner's ass. Mika is also quite intelligent, and observant. Mika is also learning how to speak Chinese. Spending a few years around a largely Chinese family has helped, and she can keep a conversation going. Though, she hasn't exactly mastered the language, there's a few errors she'd speak here and there. Other than that, yes, she's unremarkable.[/INDENT]

[b]History/Bio:[/b]
[hider=Mika's Backstory][INDENT]Mika's story begins long before she was even born. Mika is the daughter of a rich Chinese businessman known as Jiao-Long Baozai, owner of a big Pharmaceutical company that works very closely with the Savior Foundation. His bastard daughter! She was the result of an affair between him and her mother, Akira Shen. Who was merely a Secretary for the company.  After she was born, her father kept Mika's existence a secret. Because if word got out that he got a bastard, it would bring great shame to his family and company. He gave money to them on a regular to keep her quiet about his child. Which was enough for them to live in relative comfort. They had a nice house, and all Akira had to say was that she was an only mother - which was a lie she told even her daughter. Akira kept working for the company just to keep the guise up. That said, there isn't too much to say about Mika's early childhood, she was like all other Asian children. She went to school, she played, she lived. However, she was a bit chunky as a kid. Which was great reason for the other childruns to bully her.

For the next couple of years, Mika's life went smoothly. There isn't much to note. Mika didn't exactly have too many hobbies or skills to develop other than playing with toys. When she was eight, however... that was when her life took a bit of a turn. Her mother had developed lung cancer, easily one of the most dangerous forms of cancer for women. Likely caused by her smoking habit she never dropped. The whole ordeal was expensive, and very stressful for Mika and her mother. However, it was an uphill battle, Akira didn't exactly drop a few habits, and the cancer cells spread to other places in her body. Which, unfortunately, caused the woman's demise. Akira died, and it left Mika without a family. This was the single saddest moment in her life. Every night she cried herself to sleep, knowing that her mother was dead and she's alone. She prepared for a life of foster care... however, her father had stepped in. While he wanted to keep a secret, he wasn't that heartless. Obviously, he took her under his wing, and revealed her as his daughter. From there, Mika's life took a turn for the better. She was integrated into the Baozai family. She moved into their mansions in Black Fall, Pennsylvania, got their clothes, and more. Most of all, Mika got to meet her new lovely sisters. The older two were Lin and Jia-li (With Lin being the oldest), and Mika's younger sister was Kura. They didn't mesh well at first, and had their conflicts, but in the end, they were an inseparable group.

Mika didn't exactly get to interact with her father as much as she thought she would. He was a very busy man, always working. Who mostly raised Mika and her sisters was the team of maids and butlers. Which always left Mika wanting something more. However, Mika was sent to a high-tier school, and told to excel. Which she did. She was also pushed into a sport... Well, she didn't really like sports or anything physical. However, she did take a liking to Tennis once she got it. But as the girls grew older, they grew to be quite the adventurous sort. They had money, and the time. With very little supervision, they could go out and do as they please. Fortunately, the daughters weren't exactly well known. All they had to do was dressed a little more locally, and they were all set. However, during one of their adventures, Lin had manifested her power. Suddenly, her older sister can read thoughts. Which was convenient, as it allowed them to avoid getting assaulted by some unsavory individuals. After getting home, they had a long discussion with each other about it. There, they decided to keep Lin's power their secret. Eventually, Lin realized that she could shape-shift to reflect the thoughts of others. However, like dice falling over, each of their powers activated one at a time. Next to get their power was Kura, followed by Jia-Li. Kura had the ability to manipulate bolts of lightning to her whims. While Jia-li could alter a mixture of light and darkness she calls "twilight". For awhile, it appeared as if Mika didn't even have a power at all, but she tagged along in their adventures.

Like many of Black Fall's youth, they got into a variety of superhuman shenanigans. They solved mysteries, fought people, and most of all, they encountered Black Fall's many superhuman youth. They got entangled with them, making unlikely friends out of them. Most of all, they met the Valos family's group of children, Jake, Gabriela, Camille, Veronica, Joshua and Jaska. After a great misunderstanding, which involved lasers and explosions, of course. The Valos kids were much like them. Rich, bored, adventurous, and most of all, Metahumans. This was where the Baozai and Valos families intertwined. They met up plenty of times and had fun. Even going on adventures together. However, the girls got the closet to Jake Valos, who was the boy of their attentions. He was everything they wanted in a guy. Nice, good looking, charismatic. They got the hots for him and didn't want to share. That is where a little divide began between the sisters. They all wanted Jake, but they all couldn't have him. Competitions broke out between the sisters as they tried to win Jake's heart. Which got increasingly hilarious.

But, in the end, Lin ended up getting with Jake. Which caused them all to simply give up. Still, the drift between them didn't disappear. It merely got greater. Mika merely went about her own business she continued growing up, as they stopped going out on group outs. She still interacted with the friends she got on those encounters. However, eventually, Mika discovered that she [i]had[/i] developed a power. One day, she tried talking to Lin, but an argument broke out between the sisters. Up until things got a little physical. Mika had pounced her much smaller sister and began wailing on her, but everyone (Sisters, Butlers, Maids, you know) broke it up before anyone got hurt. Mika stormed off, but she realize she had copied something from her. Her telepathy! During the fight, Mika could read the minds of the people that were at the sign. Unconsciously. She didn't waste any time in practicing it on the people around her until she got it down. This was her power manifesting, and she now knew she was on the same level as her sisters. However, Mika didn't know that she could actually [i]copy[/i] powers. She just thought that she had telepathy. She felt that she was going to get over their whole fight, and get her own man. She can get love.

However, their father caught wind of their superhuman antics and pulled a few strings to arrange for them to go to the Academy 218 for Ballin Pimps. They needed their license... and they were quite frankly causing too much trouble for him back home. It was better to get them out of the house before they cause anymore trouble for him. Though sending them all to the same Academy, with their current grudges, could only end hilariously. Naturally, the sisters got into a fight [i]on the boatride there[/i]. Getting thrown in the detention center right off the bat was a great first impression. Fortunately, after they were let out, they mostly avoided each other to prevent any further incidents. Mika in particular decided to make the most of the situation. She went around and tried to meet as many people as possible. Hoping to find a group of friends that'd accept her. That ended hilariously after realizing the gaps between herself and them. Mika's adventures in the Pavilion were something else. This school is where she copied her second power, which went on to become her mainstay power. Telekinesis. She accidentally copied it while flirting with a rather hunky boy. She touched him and copied his power of telekinesis. Though, she got a different version of it where she has to touch it first. Nonetheless, she learned that she actually [i]copies[/i] powers, and learned that she can only copy mental powers. Mika made good use of this power. She got into a few arena fights. Met people. Explored the camp grounds. And fought a tentacle monster. Though, she was never as popular as she hoped she was. 

Unfortunately, Mika didn't exactly get her grades high enough to graduate. Where her sisters did. Mika didn't care, she wanted to come back to this fabulous academy. And possibly get some new powers. Mika waited patiently for the next semester... and it was here before she even knew it.

[b][u]Abilities[/u][/b]

[b]Power Class:[/b]
[INDENT]Cerebral/Power[/INDENT] 

[b]Power:[/b] 
[i]Cerebral-Based Power-Replication.[/i]
[INDENT]All the powers work on a similar level to each other, work on a similar frequency. Which is why they're placed into categories. Body, Mind, and so on. However, Mental-type Metahumans have an energy focused in their mind, which has been called "Psychic Energy". Without rambling, Mika can absorb a bit of this energy and replicate the power by extended contact. So basically, this power is a form of Power Replication that can only copy mental powers. Now, unlike other forms of Power Replication, Mika doesn't exactly get an exact copy of the power. During the replication process, the power mutates a bit. It may differ from the original in terms of function. For example, the telekinesis ability Mika copied. She has to touch the object first, where the owner didn't. Sometimes the difference is big, sometimes it's small. Mika can freely discard powers, but it takes a lot of concentration (She'll also have to overcome a certain weakness first). It's also possible for Mika to copy powers from full Power Replicators long as they're currently using a mind power. Just in the case Mika copies two very similar powers, they will combine and Mika will gain a boost to said power. Below are the powers that Mika currently has copied (In case you didn't get that from her backstory you Scrublet): [/INDENT]
[list][*][i]Telekinesis[/i]
[indent]Mika has the power to move objects with her mind. However, she can't simply just think and move it. Mika has to touch the object first to attune to it. After she touches it, she is free to move the object however she pleases. Mika has a surprisingly high telekinetic strength, capable of lifting multiple heavy objects, and throw them. Other than that, it's typical telekinesis. She can move objects, not alter things at a molecular level or anything silly. It's very possible for Mika to fly if she stands on an object she is controlling. It requires balance, though. The kind of balance she doesn't have.[/indent][/list]
[list][*][i]Telepathy[/i]
[indent]Copied from her older sister, Mika has Telepathy. Like her sister, Mika's telepathy is very basic. She can read the thoughts of other people, and send any thought to people. At the moment, Mika can read surface and innate thoughts, with memories being currently out of her potential. Mika can also has a "people sense" by sensing psychic signatures, and she can tap into those signatures to read thoughts. It has a limited range, but with a little bit of focus, Mika can extend that range. An offensive technique Mika has thought of is relatively simple actually. She can flood peoples heads with a bunch of random thoughts.[/indent][/list]


[b]Limits:[/b]
[indent]Obviously, Mika can only copy mind powers. Mika can't use two powers at once, she can only switch between them. She has to stop using one power in order to use another. Mika can only retain six powers at a time. Once she reaches her limit, she must discard one before she absorbs another. The Telekinetic attunements wear off after awhile. After ten minutes, her telekinetic control over the object begins to weaken until she can touch it again. Mika can only control a few tons overall. The more/larger objects she controls, the main strain will be put on her. Thus, the harder it will be for her to control everything. Mika cannot move people at all, nor herself. The most she can do is move them with objects. Mika can only read one mind at a time. Mika has a range of ten meters, only capable of extending it with focus (Possibly overexerting herself).[/INDENT]


[b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b][INDENT]
First and foremost, Mika doesn't know how to use the powers right from the start. She'll have to learn how to use them herself. Coupled with the fact that her powers are different from the original, Mika will always be far behind the owner (Unless they were to have an accident...). Another weakness she has is that, once she copies a power, she will be stuck with it until she becomes proficient in it. Meaning she won't be able to swap it out for another power until she gets good at using it. She can't really discard the power either, because that would require her to be good at using it. So she may get stuck with a bad power. Mika's telekinesis requires concentration, and the bigger the use, the more concentration she needs to put in. Breaking her concentration, naturally, cancels all current uses of telekinesis. It's also linked to her emotional state. In times of heavy emotion, her powers are harder to control. Naturally, moving objects causes a backlash on Mika. A bit of pain depending on what she's moving. For the smaller objects, it's virtually harmless. But for the larger/heavier objects, it will translate into physical damage. Headaches, nose bleeds, you know, the usual. And the more she does it, the worse it will get. It's hard to maintain concentration with a monster headache, after all. There's only so much her telepathy can take. If someone were to think a lot of thoughts, Mika would receive a severe psychic shock. One hell of a headache and will be jolted for a few moments. Mika will also have to shift through people's minds in order to get to the thoughts she wants to. The random, intrusive, and sexual, thoughts that nobody will want to see. The more intense thoughts tend to overwhelm all the other thoughts - making it harder to read what she wants.[/INDENT]
