That's... Kind of the point."[/i] [indent][indent]Agatha towers at 6"3', with pale skin and black eyes. Her black hair is incredibly long, reaching about halfway down her back. She does little to organize or maintain her hair shape, giving it a ragged and unkempt appearance. She has a round, slightly-wide face, with a thin body frame that borders on being undernourished. She usually dresses smart casual, wearing dark colors along a light blue to dark purple spectrum, wearing a shawl jacket, usually with either a long skirt or even just jeans. She usually wears moccasins, sneakers, or sandals, depending on the weather. She also wears her metal amulet, though her and her Apparition aren't necessarily separate entities[/indent][/indent] [color=603F6E][h3][u][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/u][/h3][/color] [i]"I uh... Don't like talking about myself too much."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=603F6E][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Agatha's main objective is to uncover the web of mystery that strangleholds Araminta, hopefully bringing some of the strange occurrences she's noticed to light. [color=603F6E][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Nothing is ever the way it seems. Always keep an eye out and ear open. [color=603F6E][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Besides being an Aberrant? She likes to stick her nose where it doesn't belong. It mostly amounts to useless trivia, but she knows many things about random people they'd like to consider private information. [color=603F6E][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Bisexual. She's never really been in a relationship, but she's found herself looking at both boys and girls before. [color=603F6E][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Despite constantly trying to attain as much information as she can, she's incredibly fearful of her own privacy being breached, giving her a very secretive and reserved lifestyle. [color=603F6E][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Agatha's a bit of an outsider. Neither her nor her grandpa are particularly religious. They're not exactly shunned, but they are given a wary eye for being outliers on the edge of the community. [color=603F6E][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] When addressed, she always answers with brief panic, as if she was zoning out for a moment. She also has difficulty keeping eye contact with people. [color=603F6E][b]FLAWS ⫻[/b][/color] Agatha is intensely paranoid and distrustful. She'll hardly take any sort of risk or opportunity if it's even slightly shady, or if there's even a shred of doubt she has. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=603F6E][h3][u][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/u][/h3][/color] [i]"I've lived with my grandpa for most of my life."[/i] [indent][indent]The first chapter of Agatha's life was an ugly one. She was conceived by accident, by two equally irresponsible and unprepared lovers. Much of her infancy lacked the proper attention and care, and her parents inexperience with children led to some early-onsetting development issues for Agatha. When she finally turned four, they admitted their own incompetence and sent her to live with her mother's grandparents. While they served as much better caregivers than their children, it took Agatha a couple months before it hit her: Her parents had abandoned her. They told her it was just a brief visit, but only months after she was moved did she realize what that meant. Agatha felt like a complete fool for missing all of the clues. The sense of humiliation and betrayal bred two dueling feelings in Agatha: untrustworthiness and curiosity. She never again wanted to be an unaware idiot, victim to the flow of the world. As she grew, she became unnecessarily inquisitive to her surroundings. She even found out her grandma became terminally ill a week before they decided to tell her. Ironically, she took that secret being held from her slightly better. Her constant need for reassuring her surroundings was even what pulled her into the hidden world beneath Araminta. When she was 14, she knew of the legend of the Black Shuck; A massive, ethereal dog that people would see from time to time. After performing stakeouts and wandering town at night for weeks, she finally encountered the beast. Despite making sure to stealthily follow it, she had a sinking feeling that the Black Shuck knew full well she was following it, and that it was intentionally leading her somewhere. Except, unlike the usual occurrence of finding a dead body, she found a [url=https://i.etsystatic.com/5304121/r/il/0282c5/985546399/il_570xN.985546399_lw80.jpg]metal amulet[/url] lying on the ground. When she picked it up, her mind was immediately invaded by a buzzing, chittering sound. She immediately threw it to the ground in surprise, then slowly knelt to pick it back up once again. Despite being a series of random buzzes and crackles, Agatha... [i]Understood it[/i], in some weird way. Against her better judgement, she equipped the necklace. The last thing she remembered of the night was feeling incredibly heavy, yet powerful. She woke up the next morning, safely in her room. Whether she liked it or not, she was thrown face first into the strange ongoings within Araminta.

She mostly works on abstract pieces and expressionism, less something she's actually trained in and more of a hobby. [color=603F6E][b]Situational Awareness ⫻[/b][/color] Agatha's constantly processing her surroundings and taking note of everything around her, making her able to notice things better that would otherwise go over someone's head.[/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=603F6E][h3][u][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/u][/h3][/color] [i]"I don't think I was ever really a skeptic to begin with, but I never thought whatever was out there would come to [i]me[/i]."[/i] [indent][indent] [color=603F6E][b]TYPE ⫻[/b][/color] Aberration (Adjoined) [color=603F6E][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Insect Form, Agatha has adjoined with an insect Apparition and has access to a powerful alternate form. [color=603F6E][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Inside of the ladybug necklace that Agatha was led to is an Apparition named The Lady Bug. Agatha, feeling a strange fascination with the entity inside, formed a union of sorts with The Lady Bug, and eventually the two adjoined. The Lady Bug isn't exactly the most talkative type, fortunately, and it's quite agreeable and easy to work with. Usually piping in with one-word statements whenever it has something to say. Fortunately, this is one of the Adjoinments that allows Agatha to retain her human form. The alternate form that Agatha has access to is the true form of the Apparition, [url=https://i.etsystatic.com/5339340/r/il/6fb09b/1388955401/il_794xN.1388955401_g6z3.jpg]the form of a ghostly ladybug[/url]. This ladybug is the size of a sedan and has a red glow around it that takes the shape of smoke. Where ever the ladybug goes the smoke follows. The ladybug has few abilities, but the ladybug's main ability is flight. Much like a regular ladybug the Apparition can hover pretty much free and can fly up to thirty-seven miles per hour. It's not much of an ability compared to its flight but the ladybug can crawl on most solid surfaces. The lady bug's alternate form is quite durable, capable of tanking several extra-normal blows along with being borderline impervious to any attacks from the Blind. It's also strong enough to throw a man across the room and has a bite that'd kill that man. As a strange sub ability or side-effect, where ever Agatha goes ladybugs follow. If she lingers in an area for too long there will be ladybugs on every surface. When she transforms into the Ladybug a swarm of ladybugs will appear out of thin air and accompany her where ever she goes. Ravaging any insects' insight, but she will have no ability to control or influence the swarm at all. When she changes back the ladybugs will disappear. [color=603F6E][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Agatha is able to perceive emotional states of others, as a sort of colored cloud that surrounds their body. Depending on the person's mood, the color of the mist will change, giving her a good indication on how someone is feeling. [color=603F6E][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] As per usual, extra-normal beings are less effective against Agatha's alternate form - Capable of tanking its blows. Agatha and the Lady Bug are two beings that are on completely different wavelengths, so she can't stay in the form forever. The longest she can without being forced back to her human form is fifteen minutes. If she takes a few minutes rest she can transform back into the ladybug. Also, she has to share that noggin of her with a ghostly Ladybug and transforming requires both of them being in unison with each other. [color=603F6E][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] Know that swarm of ladybugs that accompany her where ever she goes? Well, they're connected to her life force. Attacking the ladybugs that follow her around will in term damage and weaken Agatha. If they are immolated she'll be burnt, if they are frozen she will be. Somehow killing a million ladybugs will instantly kill Agatha. However, killing a bunch will merely knock her out.

It's getting kind of dark, and my grandpa's hair isn't getting any grayer."[/i] [indent][indent]She's raised by her grandfather, Jeffrey. While he may appear crabby and bumbling on the surface, he loves Agatha deeply, and may just be more than what he seems...[/indent][/indent] [/hider]
