[b]Appearance:[/b]
[indent]Margaret has reversed in her age since her death and now looks considerably younger than when she passed. In fact, she has regressed to the point where she looks like a pre-teen girl and if it wasn’t for the bleached, raggedy hair and pale, sickly skin one might confuse her for a girl. Her uniform just boils down to whatever she can find that fits. She barely reaches four foot and weighs about seventy pounds. Scarring tissue remains for around 24 hours around the areas where she morphs her body.[/indent]

[b]Backstory:[/b]
[indent]Margaret Haefield was one of the greatest minds in the modern era for neuropathic studies. It was her work that managed to propel modern medicine into a new era as some other leading experts called it and her work was used to fight and cure many neurological diseases. She was also a valued consultant on the study of the Superpowered Gene, despite appearing without the Superpowered Gene herself. However her passion was an obsession and it was noted that her labor intensive practices constantly put her health at risk as she often forewent food and sleep. The drive for her relentless study was her goal to resuscitate her husband, Emil, who may very well be in a coma for the rest of his life.

About two years ago, Margaret was working on a unique project that was supposed to stimulate the brain to increase human tissue regrowth, attempting to borrow a regeneration trait from a Superpowered donor. The end goal was to eventually be able to allow humans to cheat neuropathic death through medicine, but the project was doomed from the start. Various setbacks and conditions of red-tape had stagnated the project to the point where eventually Margaret was given a week to succeed or the whole thing would be canceled. Seeing as this project was also her vegetable of a husband’s last chance, she was dedicated to seeing her project through.

In the end the project was a failure but not due to the deadline. The project ended two days before then as Margaret had exposed herself to the mutagen and her body underwent violent stress before she eventually passed away. Many believed she accidentally made a mistake in her sleep deprivation and exposed herself but others support that she purposely exposed herself out of desperation. Whatever the case, she had been exposed and was pronounced dead at the scene. Her body hauled away and the whole project terminated. Her husband remained in a comatose state but on the official records, passed away and was incinerated.

Her death was officially ten years ago. As it turns out, Margaret did have the Superpower gene but due to the peculiar reason, it only manifested post-mortem. Margaret ended up coming back alive but at this point she was no longer the same old Margaret. After being dead for years, she reversed in age and her mental processes has decayed to odd, almost demented levels. Although the vessel has changed, Margaret is still underneath all that flesh and her good academic nature is preserved, though distorted.

When Margaret reemerged from her grave, she sought out old contacts and was eventually lead to a position at Palladium Academy. She went through exhaustive interviews and test to make sure she was considered 'safe' to be there and as an offer, she suggested that she teach at the Academy in her field of expertise. An agreement was struck but so long as Margaret agreed to careful restrictions.[/indent]

Margaret's gene only activated after her death finding a trigger to manifest once her body officially shut down. The result was a complete physiological overhaul. Her body rapidly recovers wounds, disease, poison, and so forth. That’s not to say she isn’t affected by such things, quite the contrary, as Margaret feels every bit of it. Recovery for injuries can occur within minutes but can take up to 24 hours depending upon the amount and severity of injury sustained. During periods of recovery, Margaret is often noted as lethargic and tired as her regeneration saps her physical strength. Recovery for severe injuries can reduce Margaret to a sickly comatose state for a time period as her body works intensely to recover the damage done. It should also be noted that any foreign material, like shards of bullets, will have to be removed. Her regeneration has also had the uncanny effect of reversing her aging so she has reverted to appearing much younger than what she actually is.

Bodily Manipulation works in tandem with Margaret’s regeneration ability and her regeneration is crucial to her survival if she were to use her Bodily Manipulation power on herself. This power manifests itself as her being able to consciously control the formation of her own biological material. The result is that Margaret is capable of morphing her body into a weapon of bone and flesh. For example, she could manipulate the structure of her arm to form a crude blade made from her bones or she could sprout two bony fangs from her mouth. As you can imagine, her power is quite… repugnant to many.

There is an interesting interaction that happens between these of these powers. Namely, Margaret’s own conscious changes to her body will not be undone by her more unconscious regeneration, but rather, it will assist in the process greatly. As you can imagine, altering someone’s body in such a way would cause all sorts of problems like bleeding out, shock to the system and so on. However with Margaret’s regeneration, her body can readily adapt to those extreme changes without the negative impact. The only exception is that the process is still quite painful as nerves twist and turn along with the rest of her body. But the payoff from this power can be huge.

There are also some other creative strategies that Margaret utilizes. She learned that she could remove sections of her brain and plant that into a fresh human corpse in order to control the living dead. Essentially real zombies, right down to the slow shuffling feet and the need to eat living flesh. With bits of her mind implanted into those corpses, she can strategically use them for a variety of uses. A meatshield? A distraction? Or maybe a clumsy getaway driver? The possibilities are endless. Stopping them is just how you’d expect, blow out their brains.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/indent]
[indent][indent]The best strategies to take Margaret on aren’t too complex, albeit that incapacitating her is easier than killing her. She’ll still sustain damage and harm as severe wounds need time to heal. Aiming to inflict heavy damage upon Margaret could give one victory. Electricity still has an effect on Margaret and something as simple as a Taser can halt her dead in her tracks. Fire is another way to heavily impede and damage Margaret as the whole process of burning is quiet painful.[/indent][/indent]
