[indent][color=FF83FA][b][u]Physical Traits[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Ana Sofia has above medium length light brown hair that most recently had an experimenting phase wherein her bangs were dyed a periwinkle pink; it didn't exactly take but the tips of her hair are still an even lighter color than her already light-by-brown-standards hair.She stands at a modest 5'6" with a build that couldn't be described as dainty or frail. She's not about to break any lifting records but she has the build of someone who cares enough to make sure her legs and thighs look good in pants as much as they do in skirts, which is her garment of choice. It's hard to tell if Ana Sofia is a late bloomer or an early peaker, but given that she has come out of the cocoon that was unflattering sweaters and mussed up hair since her arrival, at some point she found her physical confidence and never let it out of sight.

[indent]Ana Sofia comes off as a bit of a teacher's pet for all the negative that that brings with it, though given the fact that there are those who basically cheat their way with their enhanced intellect she has never nor likely will ever reach the top of the class. So much for a valedictorian speech. Her best class, as in the one she doesn't study much for, is history while her weakest subject is math because who has time for all the formulas. Sometimes she wishes she could read minds in order to close the gap between the real top of the class and the mentally enhanced, but for now she'll enjoy her placing.  [/indent][/indent]

[indent]If she could get away with it, she'd wear a skirt into battle but that wouldn't be tactically sound. She settles for purple leather pants and a pink halter with the 'X' logo on a belt buckle.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][color=FF83FA][b]Telempathy:[/b][/color] Shorthand for 'Telepathic Empathy', Ana Sofia is a telepath who doesn't read or control minds but reads and manipulates the emotions of people. It's unclear if she can read minds, but if there's one thing she's learned it's that minds can be made t be deceptive but feelings are honest every single time. With her empathy abilities she can instinctively draw people to her with the power of suggestion, though she is adamant that she wouldn't do it as it robs people of their free will and that she'd rather people be honest with her about her. If she is tuned into a particularly strong emotion she can experience the memory or 'echo' associated with it. Her main use is in inspiring others through emotional control, such as making sure her allies - assuming they let her in - are keeping their cool in a high stress situation thus allowing them to fight on. Since arriving she's started to discover more uses for her telepathy and her empathy, her telempathy, such as forming a strong emotional bond with someone so that she can know when they are in danger as well as healing emotional scars and wounds. 

 It is incredibly difficult to lie to Ana Sofia because of her connection with emotions. At the moment, she has an empathatic link with one person only.

[color=FF83FA][b]Empathetic Forcefields[/b][/color]: An offshoot of her telepathic side, Ana Sofia can maintain a defensive forcefield - or shield - around a person or persons. It is strongest when her emotions are in check, and strong positive emotions, such as love, make for the strongest forcefield. They aren't impenetrable and the mental strain it puts on her is quite severe, but it's the price she pays for keeping those she cares about safe.

[indent][color=FF83FA][b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Because she's empathetic and telepathic she is sensitive to emotions and feels them stronger than others. This has the adverse effect of making her prone to being a bit of an emotional mess which in turn messes with how well or easily she can tap into her powers. Fortunately one of the first things she learned was how not to hear the emotions of every person around her at all times, though even something as simple as brushing someone in passing can have her hear emotional echoes if there's a strong emotional response there. Headaches are frequent. Against non-human or non-emotional beings or creations she's next to useless and anyone who knows how to shut telepaths out of their mind are unaffected by her abilities.

[indent][color=FF83FA][b][u]Prior to Joining the School[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Ana Sofia's was a simple upbringing that nevertheless was rooted in the heritage of her parents. Her father owned and operated a small walk-in restaurant specializing in Cuban sandwiches - and anyone who asked for salami was promptly told to take their business upstate and out of sight. At night, her father would let local talent have a space to perform which elevated the hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop into something of a local spot for the Cuban population in the area. Ana Sofia sometimes helped out as a young girl, writing down orders on a little pink notepad because she was too young to work behind the counter. Her mother taught English to adults at night school after failing the bar exam one time too many. 

For a while, Ana Sofia assumed she'd inherit the shop which wasn't the worst thing imaginable, and when she turned thirteen she started working the register for allowance but only after her homework was done. It was around her thirteenth birthday that the magical time known as puberty struck. The time in everyone's life where boys realize that girls [i]don't[/i] have cooties and girls realize that boys have brains elsewhere than their skulls. At first she couldn't explain it. During a math test in school shortly after puberty was taking its toll, Ana Sofia dropped a pencil on the floor and leaned over to pick it up. It was then she heard the irregular heart beating like a thumping bass drum in her ear coming from Rodrigo, who happened to notice that Ana Sofia was filling out her shirt a bit tighter all of a sudden. 

From there it only spiraled as Ana Sofia became more and more distracted by the things she was hearing all around her. Being tuned into the emotions of boys and girls who were just starting to enter the awkward adolescence part of life was a terrifying experience. It came to a head one day as she was walking to class and bumped into Rodrigo and tapped into a somewhat graphic fantasy involving Rodrigo and herself; in response she shoved Rodrigo who wound up tripping backwards and busting his head on a hard locker. He went to the hospital. She got suspended. 

Things weren't any easier at home where she understood the stress her parents were going through; the restaurant was being overshadowed by larger chains which was making the place far less profitable, and worse her mother no longer had feelings for her father and was having an affair with a fellow English teacher. When she was fourteen, Ana Sofia didn't want to leave her room, which only served to add to the stress of the household that was already shaky like a house of cards. A psychiatrist was called in, but it wasn't a normal psychiatrist that opened the door. It was a woman with red hair who said she could help. [/indent][/indent]

[indent][color=FF83FA][b][u]Post Powers[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Ana Sofia arrived shortly after the death and funeral of Charles Xavier and by all accounts she was sad to not have known him. Arriving at the impressionable age of fourteen, Ana Sofia took time to adjust to her surroundings, being shy and not much for speaking for that first year. Fortunately, Jean helped Ana Sofia shut out the emotions she was feeling by helping Ana Sofia realize that it was a subconscious thing at first. Once she started to understand how there were other kids like her, ones who had come in scared or unsure, she mellowed and found her place; it helped that she got training from a fellow member of the mental based mutants even if her telepathy was somewhat different from the norm.

By age sixteen she had filled out and become the Ana Sofia the school is familiar with and used to; it was that year where she met Soren and started dating. They've had their relationship going for three years now and it's not escaped her ears that some have started referring to them as each other's 'Sword and Shield'. Ana Sofia doesn't know about that, she just knows that anyone caught looking at her man is in for a bit of feisty in their face - and trust her, she'll know if anyone's been looking.
