She has a tendency toward crisp business suits and the highest of fashion.

She can turn an index card into a razor sharp blade, a book into a brick, and newspaper into armor. She can remember anything she’s read and recall it with accuracy. She has a gift for languages and speaks 4 fluently; English, Spanish, French and Mandarin Chinese. She is working on ASL and German. She also has a lot of grace on the battlefield, her primary talent being evasion and misdirection. Her fighting style is a blend of Tai Chi and Capoeria- moving with the flow of the fight, never stopping. Kijani’s self-invented style flows from move to move, never breaking stride even when she falls or is hit, it simply becomes another move in the dance. She has been trained in the use of a Chinese jian and has her own custom blade. She also has a suit with specially treated fabric and Kevlar. It is designed to be light and flexible, to work with her nimble fighting style. Kijani also carries a ream of regular printer type paper. With that and her armor, she can block bullets from most standard guns. If given warning, she could make a shield strong enough to withstand a rocket launcher, but probably not more than once. So far, she can get her regular paper as strong as steel. If she uses something like cardstock or heavy cardboard, this strength goes up, but the flexibility and ease of use goes down. She also carries paper blending sticks, which she uses like stiletto knives. If she is unconscious, her shields can hold for about 1 minute without her active concentration. After that, they are useless. [/indent] [color=slategray][sub][ ◈ ] L I M I T A T I O N S // W E A K N E S S E S[/sub][/color][hr][indent] Kijani is human, with all the weaknesses that implies. She also has trouble using her power on wet paper, though she is trying to find some waterproof paper to work with.[/indent] [color=slategray][sub][ ◈ ] B I O G R A P H Y[/sub][/color][hr][indent] Kijani was born to two wealthy, brilliant people who happened to dislike each other. Her conception was essentially an accident, and her parents married out of propriety rather than love. She grew up cared for by a nanny while her parents worked and ignored her. When she was eleven, she was kidnapped off the streets and held for ransom. The official story is this: Her parents paid, she was released, but she was scarred, both physically and psychologically. From that day on she was never quite the same. She promised herself she’d never let that happen to her again, no matter what it took. Her nanny was fired, and Kijani pretty much raised herself from the age of eleven while her parents worked. She became an emancipated minor at the age of fourteen, took her inheritance from her parents, and used it to start living life on her own terms. Kijani works with the Legion purely because thinks heroism makes people weak. In her eyes, knowledge is power waiting to be used. It’s not good or evil, and it’s there for the taking. However, her cold and sometimes nihilistic nature makes her a poor fit for any good-natured organization. The only time Kijani is genuinely, truly happy is when she has a good book in hand. Very rarely, there’s a hint of an energetic, brilliant woman behind the cool-natured spy, but one would have to be very lucky.[/indent] [color=slategray][sub][ ◈ ] N O T E S[/sub][/color][hr][indent]Kijani’s theme song: Killer Queen by Queen.[/indent] [color=slategray][sub][ ◈ ] S O U R C E[/sub][/color][hr][indent]Amanda Waller, for one. She’s one of my favorite characters and a lot of my inspiration. Characters like her and Nick Fury make my day, and I wanted to know what would happen if you gave that kind of character a subtle dose of power. As for her power, 100% cribbed from Read or Die, the OVA. I recommend it, it’s a fun watch if you can find it. [/indent][/color] [/hider]
