She tends to keep her leaves up in a ponytail while indoors as to not have them inconvenience others, but when outdoors she releases her huge amount of leaves in order to take in as much sun as possible.[/hider]

[b]NAME:[/b] Lea Boscán

[b]SEX:[/b] Female

[b]AGE:[/b] 16

[b]NATIONALITY:[/b] Venezuelan

[b]ALTERATION:[/b] [i]"Born From the Soil: Eucalyptus Radiata"[/i]
Lea's alteration is one of the most extreme ever seen and not necessarily because of its power or destructive potential. It is extreme because whoever develops this alteration, essentially transforms into another species entirely. In the span of a year after showing the first symptoms, the Alterated's body develops into the body of a humanoid plant. They get their sustenance from photosynthesis much as a plant and only require sun and water to survive. Adding to that the much tamer metabolysm of a plant, those with Born From the Soil as their alteration have shown little to no sign of aging, implying that they might have the natural lifespan of ancient trees.

Lea's specific brand of Born From the Soil has turned her hair into Eucalyptus Radiata leaves complete with the medical applications associated. Her skin has turned green and soft like leaves and she's become much more in tune with nature. She's shown exceptional talent in anything related to plants, such as gardening. Of course, she's also very sensitive to anything related to plants dying or being hurt.

Aside from the physical changes induces by Born From the Soil, the Alteration bestows its user with moderate control over plant matter. This control at its maximum power can be used to help reinforce buildings or entangle violent individuals in roots. It's safe to say that the Alteration is useless in environments with no plant life, such as deserts or most buildings.

[b]Downside:[/b] The downsides are clear in Lea's case. Whenever she goes more than 24 hours without sunlight she starts feeling lethargic, which ends in her falling into a deep slumber three days into the sunless endeavor. The same happens with water. She needs to either drink a gallon of water a day or spend an hour or two swimming in a pool of safe-to-drink water.

As expected, fire can be very dangerous for those with Lea's alteration, as leaves are far to quick to catch fire and the rest of the body doesn't fall behind. Of course, they're relatively quick healers, but spending a second too long while on fire is often the difference between life or death with these people, as there comes a moment when the fire cannot be put out until the outer layer of their bodies (ie their skin) has all burned off.

[b]RARITY:[/b] Rare

[b]PREFERRED CLASSES:[/b] Lea is a big fan of P.E., since the class gives her a good outlet to all the energy she has. She's also a fan of anything related to plants and extends her passion over to even Biology classes, because they sometimes speak about plants and how plants are so useful to animals.

Finally, she's got an interest in Art classes, because she likes toying with the idea of designing her own clothing.

[b]PERSONALITY:[/b] Lea's a very friendly and outgoing person, often enjoying the presence of other people around her and seeking out contact. When she's alone, she tends to be very mellow and relaxed as in those times she's either sunbathing or soaking in water. She's often seen as hyperactive and scatterbrained by her peers, and the truth is that she actually [i]is[/i] like that; it's a trait that's taken to a high degree by the extra energy she has all the time from the overabundance of sun she gets.
