Quirk Name:  SNAPPERS

Quirk Type:  Mutation

Description: The user’s body has sprouted a number of bulb shaped growths that resemble the bells of the venus fly trap.  The user currently has five of these bulbs, two on her head, two replacing her hands, and one a tail like appendage.  Each bulb has a mouth of sharp teeth and a long dexterous tentacle like tongue to seize prey.  Bite strength is currently weighed at 3000 psi (roughly a hyena bite) and ‘teeth’ are constantly being replaced as needed.  Limited growth and cellular swelling does provide for additional reach past what would be expected.  The arms can reach three meters with the tongue extending another three meters.  The user is also capable of secreting strong smells defined as attractive or repellant.

Complications: The bulbs themselves have very limited autonomy and can move and bite on their own accord, particularly when the user is not paying attention.  Common counter measures are muzzles, chew toys, and dog treats. The growths on her head are the most untamed while her hands are the least.  The user also has two mouths and tentacles instead of hands, making it difficult for some manipulations. The user’s body is more plantlike then human, with skin lacking pigmentation and thus looking black in color.  Sunlight, water, and certain nutrients are very important for continued health.

Personality:  To be honest, if Amy had her way, she’d still act like a happy cheery girl for as long as she can.  She knows she needs to grow up sometime but is just trying to enjoy it while she lasts.  She tries to be approachable, knowing full well that her weird features probably end up pushing people away.  She’s been bullied for it, she caused her parents nothing but trouble, but she hasn’t given up yet.  She wants friends, she wants attention, and most importantly she wants to help.

This drive is because she has alot of deep guilt.  Even as a kid her quirk has caused alot of trouble for her already struggling family.  She tries to not let it affect her every day life but it does lead to a selfless kind of lifestyle.  Her natural generosity can be taken advantage of, as her drive to help and for positive attention has led her to pursue actions that she probably shouldn’t have involved herself in.

Her motivation for being a hero is a combination of proving that she’s a good person, wanting to help people, and mostly trying to help her family.  If she can earn money, maybe she can repay for everything her parents did for her.

History:  Amahle comes from Bloemfontein South Africa.  Not the greatest most luxurious city and most of the people there were lower income earners.  She inherited her quirk as a combination of her mother who had palm leaves for hair, and her father who had a set of mouths on his legs and shoulders.  Neither were particularly powerful, but they were decent hard working folk, a mentality their three kids all learned.

Amy is the middle child, and her quirk really caused her family alot of trouble and financial hardship when she was figuring it out.  Without hands she was considered disabled which meant the family had to get more expensive medicine and aid.  The snapper gobbled up food, knocked over items, and bit people and pets.  She lost count how many times her family had to apologize for her.  She got into the same kind of trouble at school, a combination of misbehaving and bullying made this exceptionally difficult for her.

But she couldn’t ask for a better family, who always encouraged and forgave her.  She held such guilt and gratitude that became hardworking contributing member of the community, never complaining if she had to work the poor little family shop right after school.  She spent her early teens looking for a way to repay them, help them.  She wrote out application after application for school to accept her for their Hero Program.  She knew it was the best way for someone like her to get real money, and help out others.

New Heights gave her that opportunity.

Exam:  Her score in the exam actually wasn’t too big and in a numbers game she’d be middle of the road, but her snappers did great work at doing some damage to the bots, taking ribbons, and most importantly, helping some other contestants not getting hurt.  In fact she seemed to prioritize others.  There was a point where all five of her snappers were on five separate robots and she decommissioned three of them at once before dealing with the other two.  She was on her A game that day and the school was really impressed with her.
