[/list] [color=C71585][b][u]BACKGROUND INFORMATION [/u][/b][/color] Cedar was a teenage girl born in a small mid-western town in America called Raccoon City. She lived there her entire live and grew up under the critical gaze of her mother and father, both highly skilled biochemists employed by the Umbrella Corporation. As a child she was a very excitable, energetic girl with a love of art and an active imagination that had her imagining herself to be unique and special. Due to her parents busy schedule at the time they didn't really try and dissuade their daughters grand, unrealistic ideas of what she could do. By the time she became a teenager however, that changed. Her parents were around more often to criticize her and her classmates picked up the slack with their own harsh comments and heckling. This along with her academic and artistic short coming in school tore down Cedar's self-confidence. Cedar grew to dislike herself like many of the others around her seemed too. Seeing little worth in herself she began to copy other, more confident, more talented girls and followed them around in the hopes of emulating them. By the time she was 17 she was known as Cedar "The Copycat" Birch because for three years she'd practically turned copy other people into an art form. Her life, and everyone else's, took a turn for the worse when a viral outbreak swept over the city after a break in one of the Umbrella Corporation's lab by a certain Doctor. The T-Virus, a deadly pathogen that could reanimate and mutate anything it infected, began killing countless people and causing them to rise up as terrifying zombies. Cedar's parents tried to flee the city without her and left her alone at her school. Despite being alone and pitted against horrible undead monstrosity, she managed to survive. However she made no attempt to escape and locked in one of the lower rooms of the school Cedar was killed when a nuclear missile was launched at Raccoon City to cleanse the infection. That was where her story ended. Abruptly, painfully. However when "The Event" occurred Cedar's death was forgotten and she woke up, confused and alone on a patchwork world. Wandering Cedar remembered her death and vowed to survive no matter what. No matter who she had to copy, who she had to emulate, Cedar swore that she would survive and become loved. Wandering into 2Fort she answered the call of the 'Mayor' to meet him in his office...

She's mediocre at best with an obvious lack of diversity in her art practice especially regarding drawing from real life. [b]Learning:[/b] Cedar may be bad rather unskilled, but she's become a quick learner and excels at picking things up purely by watching others. As such she can more easily pick up new skills from experience and tutoring, and to a lesser extent from reading skill books and technique related literature. [b]Scrounging:[/b] Her last few days alive in a city overtaken by zombies and horrible monsters made her into a good scrounger. When it comes to searching for stuff and sifting through junk for usable supplies Cedar isn't half bad. [color=C71585][b][u]~SPECIAL ABILITIES~[/u][/b][/color] [b][color=red]M[/color][color=blue]I[/color][color=green]M[/color][color=yellow]I[/color][color=purple]C[/color]: [/b] Cedar's lack of self worth is so great that it gives her a powerful drive to copy others, in the hopes of becoming more like them and less like herself. In combat Cedar can "Mimic" a target after being in their presence for a certain amount of time. When Mimicking Cedar gains copies of the targets skills and can even pull off any abilities they have (provided they don't rely on specific equipment or special inherent properties of the target). Using this ability she can bolster her own performance and use the fighting capabilities of allies, and enemies to her advantage. However her ability to copy isn't perfect. The skills she emulates are inferior versions of the originals and any abilities she uses are likely to have amplified downsides or poor outputs. When emulating Cedar's own skills are suppressed, leaving her with the same if not greater weaknesses of the target she Mimics.

She's unskilled, inexperienced, and takes any remarkable abilities outside of being able to shamelessly copy others and even that is has a lot of flaws. In a fight against any major threat or highly skilled individual Cedar is at a severe disadvantage. Cedar is riddled with doubt, insecurity, and a general self-hatred. She tends to be very talkative and annoying, following strong female figures around and generally trying to emulate them. Despite meaning well the girl can grate on the nerves at times and is more often then not a big fat liability when it comes to sensitive matters. Her desire to become someone else leaves her open to manipulation, more then willing to take the easy way out if it means becoming better, stronger, or simply more like someone she looks up to.
