Her eyes are a bright-green color, and round almond-shaped. Quite large, too. Easily the most pronounced part of her face. As for her hair, it's standout because of it's wavy (Almost curly) hair texture, and how it goes straight to her back. Which creates a sharp contrast with her white, ivory skin. Which means she fits the raven hair, ivory skin trope! However, Noelle puts on a rather friendly, bubbly, demeanor. One that has the ability to practically disarm anyone! You probably won't ever assume she's a threat. Though, she has a habit of hiding her face. All because of a nasty scar that she has on her face. One that appears like a blade went right through her face starting from the side, and then going to the other side. Well, like I said; it's all a font for the real Noelle. A harsh, and domineering aura that only arises should the situation call for it. Noelle is obviously Caucasian, she is a Canadian girl with genes from France, Iceland, and the Wales. This makes her look pretty European from anyone's perspective. Mostly, she looks Icelandic because of her striking green eyes. Her skin tone itself is pretty light, she isn't pale, or anything like that, but she's certainly on the lighter side. Mostly due to her genetics, she spends plenty of time in the sun to keep her skin fresh and healthy. Speaking of which, Noelle skin is pretty clear... if you don't count the many scars that she has. She has the scars from battle. Most notably, she has a scar on her midsection (towards her left side) that goes from under her chest, to the start of her waist. Like she was stabbed. She also has a scar on her eyebrow that takes the shape of a V, and goes to the area underneath her eye. She has a scar on her shoulder. What helps her appear at her best is all the wondrous skin care products she applies. Going on about her build, Noelle is pretty tall for her height, which merely adds to her intimidation factor. She's Five-Nine, and pretty well built. She has done plenty of working out due to her job, and is somewhat muscular. Not so muscular that you would expect her to start looking masculine, but she definitely lifts and does plenty of cardio (and never skips leg day). You would only notice if she were to disrobe enough for someone to see her. Due to her genes, Noelle is very curvy for her height and weight. Her breasts are 42C in terms of size, and her behind is equally big. These are features that the girl loves to flaunt. Her European roots shows in her striking and pronounced facial features. Her face is oval shaped, and her facial features are quite sharp, and blend into each other quite well. Starting with her full, pointy-lips, which are barely disproportionate to her medium-sized button nose that is round and compact. Her ears are a crescent shape, and are larger than she'd like them to be. In fear of being called dumbo, she keeps them hidden behind her hair. I've already gone over her eyes.[/INDENT] [color=Forestgreen][b]Attire:[/b][/color] [INDENT]There's two sides to Noelle's attire: either it's stylish, or it's very practical. On the stylish side, Noelle doesn't really dress to stand out. She wears a modest dress shirt, button-up, or other shirt, and she wears jeans, khaki, or cargo pants. She often accessorizes by wearing jewelry, or the sort. She doesn't like skirts, or dresses, so don't expect her to wear anything of the sort. She may wear a dress to a party. But, don't expect her to go anywhere unarmed. Along with a small pistol that's easy to conceal. On the other side of things, Noelle dresses much more practically when the situation calls for it. [/INDENT] [color=Forestgreen][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Noelle's personality seems fairly straightforward. She seems fairly cheerful and chipper on the exterior, seemingly always having something to tell everybody. She always calls herself an open book, and is willing to tell everyone everything. Seemingly having a problem with lying, or not being straightforward. She hates dishonesty, and whatnot. With a solid moral core, of course. But, despite her infinite kindness, Noelle is a woman that has an open hatred of Metahumans. All because of her experience in the Verthaven disaster, she will never forgive Metahumans. Of course, all of this is just a front. Underneath it all, Noelle is a very bitter, and conflicted woman that is almost the exact opposite of her persona. She's just that good at acting. Noelle, in actuality, is a bitch in almost every sense of the word. Rude, condescending, arrogant, and domineering. She is not a noble woman that fights for justice, but only for her own goals and self interests. She thinks that she's hot shit, and that mostly everyone is inferior to her in some way or another. Which is why she rarely gives anyone the time and place; she just stays focused on her mission, and let the idiots do their thing. In interaction, she reveals little about herself, if she isn't giving someone the silent treatment. She's very quick to get annoyed, and she won't hesitate to lash out against someone, and call them very unkind things (Whatever she can think of based off what little interactions she had with them). Noelle certainly is quick to peg people as fools, and inferior to her. Though, she treats people with apathy more than anything. However, even she's wondering if that's the right way to live her life. Noelle has softened up a lot, and is somewhat slowly adopting the "cover" she made up for herself. Though, she understands that she is fundamentally a terrible person by many people's standards, and deep down, wants to change. Noelle knows that going on like this won't work, so she's at least [i]trying[/i] to change. Except, she's going about it the wrong way; pretending to be a different person rather than face her problems directly. Her social skills are fairly good, even if she looks at it the wrong way. She's constantly keeping an eye on people for body language, and trying to notice changes, before deciding on the next thing to say. So, she [i]carefully[/i] thinks about what she's going to say next, even if she has to wait a little while. And this shows even in her front. She can be fairly friendly, albeit a bit bitter. She isn't afraid to speak her mind, and plays little mind to the people who don't like it. Deep down Noelle does desire affection above all else, and is willing to take it from just about anyone good looking enough to pipe her interests, and smart enough not to annoy her. She does desire a legitimate romance with people, not one forced because of her job, and not a quick bang. She wants someone to stand by her side, and be there. However, Noelle has been a bisexual woman since her teens. Experimenting with friends helped her discover herself, and she finds herself truly attracted to people similar to her. Cute boys and girls who see her as more than just a pretty little face, people who understand her, and won't judge her. However, Veronica is repulsed the idea of sex. Being forced to seduce many, many, people she wasn't attracted to tends to do that. Now, she'll only have sex with those she's willing to open up to completely (I.E It'll require a lot of courting and dedication). Back in the day, Noelle's morality was loose, and she had the capacity to do anything. Kill people, steal, and ruin lives. But, back then she was a lot of things she isn't now. Veronica is haunted by her past, and everything she did, and everything that happened to her. She finally feels as if she's taking accountability for her actions, for once, and is feeling the weight on the world bearing down on her. All Noelle wants to do is come to terms to her actions, and find a purpose for herself. Because all she feels is emptiness, that she has nothing to fight for. Ultimately, she wonders if there's a reason for her to live. [/INDENT] [color=Forestgreen][b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Noelle enjoys a wide variety of exquisite foods and drinks. She tries to treat herself like a classy lady, and hold up that persona. She does like some sports, while she loathes the likes of football, she definitely enjoys soccer, and especially Tennis - the latter is mostly because she plays it. She loves the people that do play it. Now, Noelle is also a fan of nice long, fancy, baths, in which she takes them within the confines of her apartment. She likes to spice it up with various bath bombs, different soaps, etc. While she finds this embarrassing, Noelle is also a fan of anime, and cartoons, and it's something she does on her downtime.[/INDENT] [color=Forestgreen][b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]When Noelle was still in school, she became quite an expert at Tennis. Her footwork, reflexes, and speed are quite good along with her skill. She doesn't play it as much - but whenever she gets the chance, she stops by a tennis court and practices (At times, plays some scrubs at it). Being a native of Quebec, and otherwise French-Canadian, she knows how to speak French fluently. In terms of social skills, Noelle is quite charismatic... and manipulative. She knows how to make people bend around her finger to do as she pleases. Along with being a very convincing actor, she can turn any man or woman into silly putty. Noelle's time with the Founding Family's forces have also taught her combat skills. Not only using her power, but fighting without it. Noelle knows her way around a gun, and prefers pistols above all else. She's behind quite a few assassinations, so you can trust her to make it look like an accident. Hand to hand is also something Noelle is quite skilled at, being trained in Krav Maga and Judo during her time with the IU. Combined with her Metahuman ability, Veronica was easily one of their best fighters.[/INDENT] [color=Forestgreen][b]Goals/Motivation[/b][/color] [INDENT]Noelle wants to make something for herself. After achieving all of her goals, Noelle really doesn't have much left except for emptiness. After the rage and hatred subsided, Noelle realized she doesn't have a whole lot going for her. So, now, she wants to enjoy life for all it's worth.[/INDENT] [color=Forestgreen][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color] [hider=0.1 A cover][indent]Now, the story that Noelle gives everyone is that Noelle was born in Lyon, France, to a pair of French Businessmen that would regularly go out to different countries, and do business. However, after a publicized affair breaking out, the Delacroix family chose to move to America. They settled down in Verthaven, around the time Noelle was thirteen years old. Throughout the years, she developed many friendships, and whatnot, but always had that artistic touch. However, everything went horribly wrong when the Verthaven Disaster happened, and both of her parents were killed. She was one of the many survivors of that shit storm, along with her "brother." Since then, she lived in Seattle, before moving to Baybridge after the fall of the Founding Family. She now works at a University in Silver Hills as a French teacher, and has been happy doing that for several years now.... If probed, a convincing amount of records pertaining to madame and mister Delacroix will appear. All the way to census reports, and even a passport from France. However... all of this is forged due to contacts that Noelle made while in the Founding Family. That brother? Someone that owes her a favor. Actually, the Delacroix family [i]doesn't exist[/i]. Noelle is just one cover of many for one woman. [/indent][/hider] [hider=1.1 Misspent Arrogance][INDENT]Noelle actually started out as a completely different person; Jacqueline Rory. Hailing from Quebec, Jacqueline is the daughter the owner of a profiting bio-engineering company - Alec Rory. Jacqueline lived the privileged life, baby! However, unlike most people, she didn't really have mommy and daddy around. Due to the fact that the circumstances of her birth weren't ideal for either party. Her mother was a young, impressionable, model who was looking for fame, and her father took advantage of that. Getting the model to sleep with him in order to get herself a name. She agreed - and Jacqueline was the result of that relationship. Now, her father was too busy running his company, and didn't have the time to interact with his daughter, and her relationship with her mother was shaky at best. So, Jacqueline was left in her father's mansion, and in the care of a team of maids and butlers. Which meant that it was up to them to raise her... and the results weren't pretty. What was more was there was more to this company than her father let on. This simple laboratory was one of the many that had ties to the Founding Family. One of the organization's fronts, in fact. Jacqueline's father was using this in order to get backdoor deals on their fancy serums - also helping them target Metahumans to kidnap. All in the name of money. Growing up, Jacqueline didn't exactly develop a kind heart. Taking what little interactions that she had with her parents to heart, she developed the idea that she had to be great to get to the best places in life. Better than other people - and that she could step on them as she saw fit. This trait manifested and became pronounced during her time in school. Going through school, Jacqueline did everything in her power to become the best. The best looking, having the most friends, and excelling in school - due to her father's influence, she could go to wealthy, high-class, schools. Even if she didn't legitimately accomplish it, she did a few backdoor deals in order to accomplish it. She became the epitome of hubris, and she had plenty to back it up. Due to her ruthless pursuit, she gathered a lot of friends in school. Jacqueline's main claim to fame was Tennis. She drove herself to become a Tennis star, boasting that she would become a professional, and laugh at everyone underneath her. Jacqueline's interactions with her father was limited, but served only to further her attitude. They had a positive opinion of each other - being quite similar in many, many, respects. Despite the fact they remained distant from each other, he was the only person Jacqueline came to seeing as an sequel. However, Mr. Davis was all about seeing his daughter become the best. Using his backdoor deals with the Hands of Science, he managed to purchase a power serum for Jacqueline. She was, at first, very hesitant, but after realizing all the incredible things she could be capable of, she took the serum. Just to put herself on par with the freaks that roam this world. That's when Jacqueline developed the ability of telekinesis. Immediately, objects around her began to start floating, and she realized what was happening. She was controlling it, and after freaking out a little bit at the sudden rush of power, Jacqueline came under control. After she realized that she had this amazing power. She quickly vowed to learn it, realizing that it was just proof that she was superior to other people, and took pride in her ability. All in private. Whenever she was alone in her room, she'd bring some dinnerware, and play around. Despite practicing, she could never quite get it down. It took her years until she could get a grasp on it. Though, this was something that she kept secret from NEST for obvious reasons. The last thing she wanted to do was live under their rules. Jacqueline became the Prom Queen, and a few years after that, she graduated from school. Getting ready to begin a professional tennis career. However, the Founding Family suspected that Daddy Davis was a spy, and decided to terminate him. They sent their best soldier to his office, where he was shot dead in his seat. Afterwards, the Founding Family placed much incriminating evidence in his office that lead authorities to believe that it was a Hands of Science lab (This whole incident took place in the height of the Hands hysteria). Which meant it was raided by NEST, and was taken apart. Which left Jacqueline, the girl who had everything, with nothing. All the status she had meant nothing because it was all on the power of a disgraced man. She had to move in with her model mother, because she had no other choice. The two loathed each other, and during the short time there, Jacqueline strived to reach the top. However, she quickly learned that she wasn't her father's only child. It came to light that he had sex with other women, and he had two other daughters: Quinn (Who's ten years younger than Jacqueline), and Sofia (Who's only slightly younger than Quinn). After learning about them, the first thing that Jacqueline did was go out to find them. While they got off to a rough start, Jacqueline managed to bond with them, and they became the family that Jacqueline honestly never had. It wasn't long before her model mother died from an overdose, and Jacqueline can only say "Goodbye you whore" in the most apathetic tone possible. She took custody of her little sisters... but, the only job she could manage was a fast food restaurant, and that was barely enough to support them, and she was getting frustrated.[/indent][/hider] [hider=1.2 Pride, the Fall, Veronica Davis][indent]However... her skills, personality, and superpower made her a candidate the Founding Family's growing security force known as the Intimidation Unit. She was approached by the Black Hound, their greatest soldier, and invited into the Intimidation Unit - with promises of wealth and power that she was used to. Because she had a growing capacity for violence, and she was just so [i]bitter[/i] over what happened to her, she accepted the invitation without hesitation, and was inducted into their personal. However, the first thing that Jacqueline did was change her identity... she picked the name Veronica Davis only because she didn't want her good name attached to her dirty line of work. She was training for a few years to not just be a soldier, but be one of the Founding Family's assassins. She was trained in the arts of murder. She was given countless weapons training, along with a lot of other skills that made her a versatile warrior. Most importantly, she was trained with her telekinesis extensively. Being one of the Founding Family's assassins, she was given plenty of experience. Because whoever they wanted dead, they sent her after them. Her first hit was a police officer that was getting a little too close to the truth. She killed him... and felt a sense of deep regret as she learned about him. However, as she was given more and more hits, more and more missions... she eventually began to feel a great numbness. She became numb to the killing. And it wasn't just killing that Veronica did - she just did whatever the hell they asked her to, really. Espionage, recruitment, guarding, deliveries, making deals, and more. Eventually, due to her skill, she earned herself an elevated status within the Founding Family. She met the top members of the group (sometimes receiving orders directly from them), and she was given even more priority missions. Before the girl could feel any pride, she soon learned that the Founding Family were the ones who killed her father, and ruined his company because he was planning on betraying them - indirectly depriving Veronica of her wealth and status she cared so much about. That fact built up contempt within the girl. ... And it got worse from there. Her sisters had manifested superpowers that have greatly interested the Founding Family. So, they kidnapped the two of them, and immediately put them in a lab where their powers were used to strengthen the Founding Family. Veronica objected, but she was silenced with threats, and placed back into compliance. She became obsessed with revenge against the Founding Family for this. All she wanted to do was kill them in horrible ways. Which is why she decided to destroy the organization, feigning obedience and loyalty as she forms her master plan to destroy them. One of the first things she did as the Family's slave was accompany Blake Schmidt to his meeting with the Valos family (old friends of hers). When that went sour, she assisted in defeating the Valos, and capturing them. It was dirty work, but Veronica had no choice but to do it. Johnny got away, and became a pain in the ass for the Family. She was sent after him, but she chose to botch those missions because of her of interest in making him an ally. However, it went sour, and ultimately, he injured her. While she was gathering information, she eventually learned of the other children that were subjected to their experiments... and she was horrified. That motivated Veronica to want to save her sisters even more, and to also save the other children. It was that moment when she realized that the Family were utterly irredeemable in her eyes. Veronica was transferred to Baybridge - where the Blessed Three were - because they're planning something big. And it didn't disappoint. During the whole war against the Family, she played in the sidelines as a secret agent for them. Destroying their foes from the shadows, and gathering information for them. All while planning their fall. The first thing she was sent to do was find Jennifer Caspin, and check to see if she was in position. It didn't exactly go smoothly because it was in the middle of the attack on the market, but she managed to befriend her. Her next job was kidnapping someone who probed into the Family on the Deep web, which she did successfully... but that someone was bailed out by a friend. This was during the whole shit-storm in the mall, and Veronica had to go get Ezekiel during his hissyfit. In the week after, she enjoyed the little break she received from the Intimidation Unit, and figured it was time to push her own agendas. First, she gathered some information, then she made nice with an impressionable female RAVEN. Afterwards, Veronica was shuffled with Blake during Jiao-Long's birthday party, and was made to act nice while he does business. Fortunately for her, she didn't have to do much during the kidnapping of Jiao-Long and his wife other than act scared. She left with Blake, and escorted Jiao-Long to the Family's pride and joy. The machine... she was the first person from the outside world to see it, and it was horrifying. A device that could turn everyone on Earth into a Metahuman, and it was [i]close[/i] to completion. The mere idea of the Machine horrified her, and with their endgoals being near, Veronica knew her sisters were first on the chopping the block when they served their purpose. The first thing Veronica did was relay a load of information to RAVEN from the shadows - even warning them of the impending attack on Headquarters. Since then, Veronica kept to the shadows, meeting a RAVEN, and helping him get into headquarters. Staying out of the conflict in Silver Hills. The finale came during the final battle against the Founding Family, where she helped bring down Julia O'Sullivan, and finally liberated her sisters. However, for their safety, she split off from them, and left her sisters in DOVE's care. As much as it hurt, she knew they'd be much better off without her. Afterwards, Veronica put up her armor for good, and disappeared... never to be seen again... [/INDENT][/hider] [color=Forestgreen][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b] [/color] [hider]Alec Rory - Father [indent]Alec Rory was called many things. A genius. A tyrant. An asshole... and he formed Rory international, a powerful bio-engineering company that was going to make the next big breakthrough in science. And Alec lead the organization with such ruthless efficiency that few people were calling their experiences with the company pleasant - but keeping their pockets fat, and giving young scientists the tools they need is what keep them going. Alec was not a good person because he was practically obsessed with power - which made it easy for him to become a subordinate for the Founding Family - he just couldn't turn down their deal. Giving him a wider array of resources in exchange for the Family having full access to his research. Through his lust for power, though, he failed to realize that their partnership was not beneficial for both parties - only beneficial for the Family. When he was planning to out the Family to the feds when he did realize, he was killed, his research was stolen, and his company was framed for a front for the Hands of Science... He and Noelle rarely interacted, but she owes her superpower to him.[/INDENT] Amy Rory - Mother [indent]Merely an up and coming model that Alec seduced on the promise of fulfilling all her wildest dreams. Their first encounter ended with Noelle being conceived, and Alec guilt her into marrying him. She became a model through his contacts - only so he can brag about "fucking a model." Amy and Alec didn't really care for each other - with the latter only seeing her as a sex object. That most importantly made the relationship between herself and Noelle very sour as the woman didn't want anything to do with Noelle. The woman grew to enjoy the life of wealth, and was planning on divorcing the man to get his money (and to ensure that she would be born well off, she had two more children with him). However, when Alec was killed, and his money was stolen, all of her plans went horribly wrong. She eventually fell into a deep depression and became addicted to drugs. Selling her (decaying) body in exchange for drug-money. Eventually she died of an overdose, and Noelle couldn't care less. The only thing Amy was good for was good looks.[/INDENT] Quinn Rory - Sister [indent]The second child of Amy and Alec - only so Amy could get a bigger piece of the pie. Quinn grew up rather neglected by her mother, and eventually became very shy and anti-social - even when presented with opportunities! Quinn is a kind person at heart, however she managed to get along with her sisters - even the abhorrent Noelle. They got especially close after the death of their parents, and it fell on Noelle to take care of them. But, even Quinn could see the stress Noelle was going through. She didn't question what work that Noelle had to take when she would suddenly disappear for [i]weeks[/i] at a time and come home with thousands of dollars. She just did her best to enjoy it. However, unlike Noelle, Quinn had the potential to naturally become a Metahuman, and she developed a rather useful ability - the ability to admister permanent upgrades to any superpowers on touch (and copying a lesser form in the progress). Quinn didn't know what to make of this ability, but the Founding Family kidnapped her, and put her to use in one of their labs giving their Metahuman employees [i]even stronger[/i] abilities. Was liberated during their fall, and like her sister, is in Academy 218 with a new identity. Noelle hasn't seen her.[/INDENT] Sofia Rory - Sister [indent]A year younger than Quinn, Sofia is the youngest child of the Rory family. Unlike her older sister... she is intoxicatingly happy, kind, and optimistic despite the grim world she lives in, and the deaths of their parents. This personality is what shined a light inside of Noelle, and persuaded her to do good for them. Like Quinn, she didn't question what Noelle did to put food on the table. And like Quinn again, she developed a superpower... A very powerful form of memory manipulation that allows her to put memories in bubbles, and manipulate them from there. She can implant fake memories, alter existing memories, and erase memories with ease. All the way up to creating a life for a person if she was given the time and energy. This ability was what convinced the Family to kidnap her and use her as a slave. Altering the memories of whoever they please. Was liberated during their fall, and like her sister, is in Academy 218 with a new identity. Noelle hasn't seen her.[/INDENT][/hider] [color=Forestgreen][b]Dynamics:[/b][/color] [hider][indent][h3]| [b]Johnny Valos[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Bad[/b] | [b]Former Friend[/b] | [i]"He was an idiot then, he's an idiot now."[/i] | [indent] Johnny was an old fling of Noelle back when she was younger (When she was Jacqueline Rory). The two were quite similar in some ways, but she always found Johnny too idiotic to be useful. She only really dated him because of the status of his family, but otherwise found him obnoxious. She had a higher opinion of his family, however. That relationship was destroyed when Noelle (as Veronica) helped defeat and capture the Valos family. Since then, she never paid him even a thought, not even aware he's coming to Baybridge. [/indent] [/indent][/hider] [color=Forestgreen][h3][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Cerebral[/INDENT] [color=Forestgreen][b]Power:[/b][/color] [i]Telekinesis.[/i] [indent]Little Noelle here was gifted with a telekinetic ability when she consumed the serum. This allows her to exert her mental will on the area around her in ways that you'd expect from a telekinetic. She can move objects with a thought; pulling, pushing, twisting, bending, crushing, etc, etc. She can pull these mental feats off with relative ease - she can control objects with body movements. Since she has a high degree of control over her power, she's capable of manipulating a large amount of objects at a time, or, alternatively, moving a very large object. She's capable of manipulating two cars, while still retaining the ability to walk. Noelle can also use her telekinesis to make herself fly, propelling herself through the air. Any objects she controls will be wrapped in dark-green, wavy, aura, until she releases control of them - and whenever she [i]slightly[/i] activates her power, she will be surrounded in a similar field.[/indent] [list][*][i]Telekinetic Blasts.[/i] [INDENT]Noelle can channel her telekinetic energy into focused blasts. These blasts can come in several different shapes. The main kind is a focused beam that she can fire out of her fist. The power and size of this beam can vary. She can make it hard hitting enough to leave some major cracks in stone (Like it took a sledgehammer to it), and thicker than her arm. Other times, it can be thin as her pinkie, and hit hard enough to knock over a cup but not break it. This beam cuts through the air rather quickly, and disappears the second it hits an object (or travels outside of it's range). Other forms come in a orb, a blade, a shotgun style blast, or even a full wave. These blasts follow the same rules as the beam, really. All of these blasts are dark-green in color.[/INDENT] [/list] [list] [*][i]Telekinetic Shield.[/i] [INDENT]Noelle can also channel this telekinetic energy to produce a shield. It's a green construction that almost looks like a thin film. It's merely a centimeter wide, but it has a square shape that changes size (The max is twelve feet in all directions). Don't let it's size fool you, it can take a [i]ridiculous[/i] amount of pressure. Blows from super strong Metahumans, a barrage of bullets, etc. It's connected to Noelle's willpower, and her resolve, which makes the shield very durable. She can only project the shield very close (around five feet) to herself.[/INDENT] [/list] [color=Forestgreen][b]Limits:[/b][/color] [indent]For starters, she's affected by the arbitrary range limit! She can only manipulate objects within twenty-feet of herself, and her blasts can only go that far. Nor can Noelle do all these feats at once. She can't have her shield up while manipulating, and vice versa. However, she can of course fly regardless of what she's currently doing. Of course, the more advanced feats that Noelle is capable of, also puts a bit of stress on herself, and her body. It'll do more than tire herself out faster - but more details in the weakness section. Her powers have trouble when directly interacting with people. While she is capable of moving them, she can't bend them like a pretzel, nor can she telekinetically stop a heart. Though, if you piss her off, she can certainly keep you pinned to a wall. However, someone with enough willpower can break free from her telekinetic control. Cerebral-types are also resistant to all her abilities. The shield can only be twelve feet in total size, but the larger it is, the harder it will be to maintain. It can take an immense barrage, but there's a weakness that balances that out nicely. Let's say that it can take a few full strength hits from a super strong Metahuman and tank it like it's nothing. Oh, and it only blocks physical attacks. Energy goes right on through it. I'd also like to note that the shield can only defend her from one direction, she can only protect within five feet of herself, and she'll be immobile for the duration. Go figure.[/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [/color] [indent]Noelle needs to maintain a high level of control over her ability in order to keep using it. If you somehow break her concentration (and keep it that way), then she'll be unable to use her telekinesis properly. It's also linked to her body, mind, and spirit. Using it causes injuries to her body in the form of your garden variety nosebleed, to horrific headaches, and strained muscles. She'll basically have one hell of a hangover after a particularly drawn out battle. A counter to Noelle's ability is energy-based attacks. You see, Noelle emits her own telekinetic (Or Mental) energy. Once she is subjugated to energy of the sorts, her power will begin to weaken. Shooting her telekinetic blasts has a bit of a recoil. It can throw her off balance at best, and absolutely ravage her wrist/hands at worst. Depends on how strong the blast, the more powerful blasts can do it, while the weaker blasts barely damage her. Finally, while her shield is immensely durable, it comes with a "mental backlash," which is sent back towards Noelle. It is a pain proportionate to the damage the shield withstands. She could be gushing blood out of her nose. Which means that it's incredibly hard to keep active.[/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b][u]Other:[/u][/b] [/color] [INDENT]■ Despite putting her former life behind her, Veronica keeps a small arsenal of weapons on her in the case that she does get found out. And to that end: she also has a few alternate identities in different countries. ■ She also keeps a network of contacts, and people she has dirt on... just in case she needs it. [/INDENT] [/hider]
