Step aside, bitches. Time for me to insert [i]excellence[/i].

[b]Name:[/b]
[indent][i]Fiona Ashley Barrett[/i][/indent]
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[indent]Now, Fiona has a very distinct appearance to her, indeed. She looks like a hybrid of a human being and an insect - with her appearing leaning on human so that she doesn't appear as monstrous as a hybrid would imply. She is covered, from head to toe, in a thin, olive-green, exoskeleton that makes up a light armoring around her being. With segments here and there, and less armor in the joints, she can move around like a human would. To put it simply, Fiona is anatomically the same as a human being, except with an exoskeleton - No extra limbs. Fiona has the traits of a grasshopper, if one was versed in the insectoid realm. On the top of her head are two antennas that are thin and look much like long strands of hair - they are nearly her body height in length. She has two, very large, black, almond-shaped, grasshopper eyes - that appear close to humans. On the sides of her mouth are two mandibles that encompass her mouth when they're closed. Finally, her legs are much thicker, and capable of preforming powerful jumps (Or a kick in a fight). Moving on, Fiona's build is pretty slim, she's slender. Almost petite. I doubt she could even biologically gain visible body fat, or muscles. Her body-shape is roughly rectangle-shaped. Naturally, her legs are much longer than the rest of her body - disproportionately adding on a few inches to a girl that would be naturally be the average female height. Her arms are pretty standard length and proportionate to the rest of her body. Body is relatively scar free (Try scaring chitin!). A few marks here and there from some recent injuries, that would fade once she molts.

Face still humanoid, Fiona has an oval-shaped head, and vaguely European facial-features. Facial features blend neatly together, only having one exposed creek in order for her to move her jaw. She has a very small button nose with small nostrils right above her mouse. With her mouth being small and having very thin lips - along with human teeth. Her cheeks are smooth... I mean not in the texture way, in how they are. I should note that Fiona doesn't have ears - merely two dark holes where her ears should be. These holes are obscured by her hair. Fiona has a head of very curly orange hair (If you're asking how and why; yes). It's very well cleaned, and has a neat texture to it. Lets it flow, it hangs off her head onto her shoulders in a very messy hairstyle. Usually flying around as she moves (Especially when she jumps).

Fiona's voice sounds vaguely humanoid. It has a strange buzzing/chirping overtone that definitely sounds insectoid.

Fiona dresses very lightly... not in the slutty way, but dresses in such a manner that she doesn't get too restricted. With a body like hers, she has to wear clothes a few sizes extra, or else it'd get torn. The legs area is the biggest problem, since she can't properly move without using her legs. Sweat shorts and skirts tend to do the trick. Stuff that leave her legs free. As for style, Fiona has no style. She wears whatever she has access to, really. Colors, and decals, are completely irrelevant - only size are relevant. She'd wear nothing if it wasn't immodest. Fiona always has a large red bow on the top of her head. Right now... Fiona is in the middle of a crowded city, full of people who probably take note to a giant Cricket-woman walking about. So, she wears something to cover herself up. A large, light-grey, robe. It isn't inconspicuous, but it hides the person within. Which is why she tends to stick to the alleyways and night time.

[b]Power:[/b]
[i]Adjustable Insect-Physiology[/i] 
[INDENT]Fiona has power of the chitinous arthropods known as the insects! Fiona has the power to shift her body in order to adapt traits from these creatures. Which is a very versatile ability in and of itself. Since there a ton of insects, each with their own purposes. For example, Fiona can transform into an ant and gain strength proportionate to her size. Adapting features of a Bee in order to gain wings and a stinger. And so on - the possibilities are endless. However, I [i]should[/i] note that she can't completely transform into an insect. She'd be half-human, or have [i]some[/i] humanoid features. Generally, insects have chitin armor, enhanced senses of some form, and extra limbs. Now, if Fiona adapts an insect, her body will transform - [i]however[/i], there are different levels of transformations. The more she transforms, the more monstrous and inhuman she will become, and in the process, gain strength. If she were to devolve deeper into her Grasshopper form, she will lose her humanoid shape, gain extra limbs, and become much more threatening and monstrous. At the same time, her senses, jumping ability, and more, will be enhanced by a great degree. The same with her other forms. I could sit here and go on and on listing variables, but there's just too many. One thing I should note about Fiona is her way of transforming. Once she triggers a transformation, she will molt her original shell, and in the process, gain a new one with the new insects traits. Also, Fiona can force a molt in order to repair damage to her shell - in order to accommodate to her poor healing. However, it is possible for Fiona to regrow a lost-limb using molting, or transforming.[/INDENT]

[*][i]Cricket-Physiology[/i]
[indent]Fiona's base/default form. It gives her abilities consistent with the mighty grasshopper! The most obvious advantage is the boost to her jumping ability. She'll be able to jump high and far! It also comes with plenty of leg-strength so she can deliver one hell of a kick. She has fairly strong jaws that are natural to crickets. She can deliver a devastating bite. Crickets have pretty good senses, in fact. More than they're given credit for. Thus, Fiona's several senses are keen. Her vision is pretty good, and she's able to pick up movement much easier than humans are. It gives her a sort of enhanced reflexes, as she can see things faster and, thus, react to them quicker. Plus, she has night vision and can overall see better in low-light environments. Fiona has a great sense of hearing - she can hear from quite a distance away... using her legs (Really, look it up). She can pick up ultra-sonic sounds too. Her sense of smell is also enhanced through her antennas. They are very sensitive, enough so that she may feel around in her environment. It also allows her to pick up scents, so it counts as enhanced smell. Finally, Fiona has special hairs on her body that allows her to sense air movements and pressure changes. Which can allow her to detect if something is coming. Transforming increases these abilities, along with giving her some appearance changes. At her transformation's extreme, she would lose her humanoid shape and take up one similar to a centaur. Lower body of a cricket, with a humanoid upper body. Her mouth would be mandibles, and her face would be insectoid. In this state, she'd be able to cover great distances with a single leap - using her wings to help her maneuver.[/indent]

[b]Personality:[/b]
[indent]People may first notice that Fiona is rather distant, and timid. Jumpy even. All of which is true, since Fiona isn't exactly a normal person - thus, she keeps her guard up when around people. Especially the normal looking kind who she doesn't know. She'll generally keep quiet, avoid eye-contact, and usually place herself far away from them. Hell, people pretty much peg her for an introvert the second they see her. Which, in a sense, isn't true, but I'll elaborate on that in a bit. Fiona is jumpy, and spastic - and not in the good way. If something frightens her she has two responses, the natural ones: Flight, or fight. Which means she's just as likely to lash out against someone than she is to run. Yet, Fiona is still very kind and empathetic. She won't hurt people in any way - and if she does, she'll definitely apologize for any wrongdoings. People may notice that Fiona is a very gentle-soul. She's calm, polite, and very softspoken - albeit, very nervous. When in a conversation, she rarely uses slangs, or swears, but talks like someone who's much more mature than she really is. Though, she can come off as aloof, or emotionally distant. Right off the bat, Fiona is rather closed off, and very choice-y of worlds. Fiona chooses to hide herself rather than show people what she really is - in both the literal and metaphorical way. This mostly stems from a insecurity, and fear. 

Once someone manages to get her out of her shell (Pun totally intended), Fiona seemingly becomes a whole another person. Much less mature, and much more child-like (Whether that's a good or bad thing is subjective). Fiona is actually much more... chipper, around the people she's comfortable with. She's talkative, loud, her movements are spastic, and she simply loves to play.  Fiona is extremely curious, and adventurous. True to insects, she likes to explore, find new places, and claim them for herself. She also wishes to become one with the experiences she missed out on. Such as romance, and having actual friends. Which means that she's in a rush to experience them. Though, she's not completely intune with how society and people really work - leaving her in the dark when it comes to some social norms. Which makes her certainly eccentric. She's not a great shoulder to cry on, nor will she ever seek out one. She'll mostly lock herself away until she feels better.

Deep down, she isn't the most emotionally secure. She fears that she has no place among humans - or normal people. What doesn't help is her phobia when it comes to humans - sometimes even Metahumans. She believes that people would disregard her for being, for a lack of a better term, an abomination of chitin and man. She hides this fear underneath the mask she puts on. She hopes to overcome this fear by finding her place in the Academies, and finding people that'd accept her. Though, she knows that she's unlikely to find anyone. Fiona's simply paranoid when around regular people - just waiting for the moment when they toss her away like the freak she is. Another internal gripe of her is that she just isn't strong enough. She's seen some of the powerhouses that the Verthaven has, and she's in awe of their power. Fiona simply has no choice but to rely on others for help. She is intimidated by Metahumans that are stronger than her, and will do her damn near best to stay on their good-side. Lest she wants to literally get crushed like a cockroach.[/indent]
