Has flaming red hair, a wide-eyed expression, and no idea how to coordinate colors or clothing styles. Generally covered with band-aids. [b][color=82ca9d]Personality:[/color][/b] Jacie wields her high levels of energy like a shield so nobody can tell how terrified she is of not being in control of herself. She has few to no friends, but acts as though there's nobody who ISN'T friends with her - a real social butterfly. Likes: Colors, creative writing work, talking, romantic comedies, combat training, Professor Xavier, Guest-Professor Gambit Dislikes: Having a reputation that precedes her, being condescended to, not being in control of her powers [b][color=82ca9d]Background/Info:[/color][/b] It wasn't always this way - things like this change with time, she's told - but Jacie's power is to explode. Or, no, that's not her power, but it's how her power is currently manifesting. And it's ruining everything. When she is overcome with certain "swelling" emotions (happiness, excitement, anger, embarrassment - any emotion that grows in intensity as she is experiencing it), she literally "bursts," and when she re-forms everything from the cute clothes she was just wearing to the hallway she was just standing in are anywhere from tattered to decimated. It's only gotten worse since she started attending Professor Xavier's school, and she doesn't know why. When she was at home with her parents it almost never happened; now that she's here, with all these scared, distrustful eyes on her... well, she needs a lot of supervision just to get through the week. The nurse keeps lots of sets of spare clothes on hand for her and a few of the professors/alumni can suppress her power, but that doesn't take the sting out of having to repeat a grade or out of driving any potential friends off with the danger she could put them in. Jacie needs somebody with whom she can be paired in her classes and her training - somebody who can either help her control her power, or who can outright suppress it. Without such help, Jacie feels sure that she's destined to fail forever.
