[b]Appearance & Attire:[/b]
First thing people glean from Claudette is that she's thick. A bit on the pudgy side, indeed. Claudette, while tall, has a noticeable amount of body-fat on her frame. Bodyfat that she had since she was a child, and never really grew out of it. If anything, she grew with it. Even though she's a very hard working girl, she just couldn't get rid of it. Naturally, she has a chubby stomach, and fat legs and arms (Especially in the upper parts). It has helped add curves to her figure, especially her hips. Claudette has a natural pear-shaped figure, with pronounced hips, a large behind, and very wide legs (In the thigh area of course). It's... embarrassing to her. She's a tall girl, standing a few inches above most girls, and nearly up there with the boys. It helps that Claudette is just so big mass-wise. She, also, has very thick bones due to her African-Heritage (Not that she could use the "I'm big boned" excuse). Speaking of which, Claudette is a Haitian to her bones. She has very dark-skin from spending plenty of time in the sun, and her facial features pretty much give it away. 

Still, all around, Claudette looks somewhat gruff. Normally it's the scowls, but her fists are bruised, and scraped. And her size probably ways a bit into it, too. She has plenty of scars, the kind of scars you'd expect a person to have (scars from harmless injuries, and mistakes). Then there's the stuff you wouldn't expect someone to have. There's a scar on her shoulder that looks like a massive crack - as if she was made of something and it broke. Another scar is on her upper lip, and goes to her nose. She also has a small scar on her belly, shaped as if someone stabbed her with a blade. Claudette is also missing a few teeth, knocked out during fights. A few other teeth are cracked/broken. It's easy to pick up that she has a very shitty dentist. Other than the scars, Claudette has gotten herself some tattoos over the years. On the back of her hand, she got a black tattoo of a feather. On her chest, above her left breast, she has "LOVE" written in a stylized italic text. Claudette has a small, rounded head, with round, less than pronounced, facial features. To get started, Claudette has a large, rounded, droopy, nose - crooked from getting broken one time and healing incorrectly. However, her nose is barely disproportionate to her thick lips, as expected from someone of her heritage. Another defining trait of Claudette is her rather large, round, cheeks. She has large, almond-shaped eyes of a amber color. Her ears are large, and round, usually hidden under her hair. Oh, speaking of her hair, Claudette has very curly, frizzy hair, and she has a lot of it. She has it tied into a ponytail, a frizzy ponytail, with most of her hair brushed back.

Claudette speaks with a thick southern accent that has a hint of a Haitian Accent (Creole, of course). It's a pronounced accent, too. Her voice is raspy, due to smoking too many cigarettes, of course.

Living in rural Louisiana sticks for most of her life has really shaped Claudette's style. She dresses really modestly, much like Southern mothers twice her age. She wears skirts, jeans, dress-shirts, and other such modest fashion - though, sometimes she wears clothes that show cleavage. Color doesn't really matter to her, though, she doesn't exactly dress in flashy colors. She always found such people tacky. Claudette was never one to wear hats - however, she's rarely seen without a scarf wrapped around her head. She has a collection of different scarves, of various patterns and colors. Only sometimes will Claudette wear a hat, usually on a special occasional will she put on something like a sunhat. I should also add that Claudette wears plenty of jewelry, she has her ears pierced, and often wears hoop earrings. She also likes to wear bracelets.... Rings? Not so much.

[b]Skills:[/b]
Claudette is a cook! She was taught by her family how to cook restaurant level meals. Mostly southern dishes, but Claudette has been more than willing to branch out and try things for herself. To great results. She has a great grasp on ingredients. Say if she had a recipe, she could easily identify a part which wouldn't be tasty, or make a modification that'd make it taste better. While she was never the athletic type, Claudette played plenty of soccer with her younger brothers (Who taught her how to do so). She's also pretty damn good at swimming. Surprising given her size, but she can swim pretty fast while in the water. It's just a talent of hers. Claudette is also a painter - pencil sketching was never her thing, but she loved painting. Her apartment is full of paintings she made herself (Which those assholes at the art gallery won't buy). While she never wentt to Haiti (and, honestly, doesn't intend to), she has learned a bit of the Haitian Creole... and never used it before. However, it really helped her learn French. On the rougher side of things, Claudette is a fighter, she had to fight plenty of times. No MA, but she was taught how to fight by her father, and her various friends. While she doesn't have the MMA fighter's build, she's certainly one scrappy bitch. She hits pretty fast, doesn't let up, and she hits hard. Along with fighting dirty in "fair" fights. Of course, she also cheats a bit using her power (Hardening her skeleton).

[b]Power:[/b]
[i]Metal-Mimicry.[/i]
[INDENT]You can say Claudette is extra ore-dinary. At will, she can transform her body partially, or completely, into an iron alloy (Similar to Steel - testing has confirmed that there is iron, steel, platinum, nickel, and titanium in her form). This form is very shiny, and bright. And I'm not saying that she puts a shell on over her skin; her body actually turns into metal. Basically creating an instant armor whenever Claudette needs it. Now, this is obvious, but Claudette is very durable. Iron is a very strong material, and she's capable of withstanding most physical attacks (If you're punching metal barehanded, you're an idiot), blades are essentially useless, and iron has a very high melting point. In terms of bullets, she can easily resist small arms (not without getting a little dent), heavier firearms and attacks would put a hole in her - still, she'd be able to handle them much better than she could in her human form. Along with iron being pretty dense, she's very heavy, you'll have a hard time moving her. Her body will be homogeneous, no part of her body will be more important than the other. In addition, she won't be able to feel pain, will be immune to biological attacks, and will be independent of oxygen. She'll basically be a moving statue. In addition to having a strong defense, she can dish out the damage just as well. Packing enough force behind her punches to break bones in one punch due to the sheer density of her form. Naturally, her strength is brought up a few notches, nothing to the levels of say the Hulk, but she can lift up a lot more, and put more strength behind her attacks. Finally, Claudette has the ability to shape her body. She can change her body into simple tools, such as blades, and the such. Limited by her mass, of course.[/INDENT]
[b]Limits:[/b]
[INDENT]Now, any damage that her metal form receives will transfer back to her human form. Any dents she gets will appear in her flesh (and that's not good), and any holes she receives will be oozing the precious red stuff by the time she switches back. The same goes for temperatures. Metal transfers temperature very well. Say if she's red-hot, or super cold, transforming back to human form can kill her in a very, very, very, unpleasant manner (Every part of her body will be hot/cold). Even for less extreme temperatures, she'll have to stay in metal form for awhile, or risk serious damage. Also, she can't swim.[/INDENT]
[b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks: [/b]
[INDENT]This is expected, but Claudette, in her metal form, is heavy as all hell. Don't expect her to pull off any feats of agility. She's pretty slow, most people's sprints can outpace her top speed while metallic. Even her attacks will be much slower. If she so much as falls in water, she'll sink to the bottom like a stone. So, yeah, she basically has the mighty glacier deal. Because her form is so shiny, shining a bright light on her (a flashlight would do) would render her blinded by light. Temperatures, specifically caused by powers, can serve as a problem to her. High enough heats can soften her form, and render it easier to damage (And lock her out of her human form, for the above). Sub-zero temperatures makes her very brittle. Electrical and magnetic based powers are also a counter to her. As being made entirely of metal her brain still has electrical impulses. A shock from say, a taser can mess all that up and render her temporarily paralyzed.[/INDENT]
