Here it is! I know you'll say if anything needs changing, but in particular let me know if the specifics of her power need to be changed. I wasn't sure exactly how strong an uncorrupted star should be. [hider=Character Sheet] [color=bea6f5][b]Name:[/b][/color] Mia Zhong [color=bea6f5][b]Gender / Preferred Pronouns:[/b][/color] Female, she/her [color=bea6f5][b]Age:[/b][/color] 17 (February 3) [color=bea6f5][b]Year and Degree Program:[/b][/color] High-school Junior, undecided [color=bea6f5][b]Nationality:[/b][/color] Chinese-American [color=bea6f5][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] [center][hider=Image][img]https://i.imgur.com/wDCj35e.jpg[/img][/hider][/center] Dark brown hair cropped just past chin length, long bangs swept carefully along her forehead. Deep brown eyes, a delicate nose and pointed chin. Mia is a pretty girl, slim and compactly muscular from all her gymnastics and cheer leading practice. She stands at five foot eight (perfect posture, of course!), but often appears taller thanks to the multiple pairs of high heels or heeled boots she owns. Mia has a good dose of fashion sense. She knows what clothes to pair together in order to create a comfortable but good-looking outfit that will bring her through a long school day. Tank top first (so as not to violate the dress code), then a loose crop top over it and long skinny jeans. White blouse and delicately patterned skirt. Belted dress with long meshed sleeves. Short shorts only come out on weekends or holidays. She also loves long cardigans and light scarves. [color=bea6f5][b]Location and Notes on Star Mark:[/b][/color] A singular star just above her navel about the size of a quarter. It is a brilliant white, well visible against her light brown skin, with eight points in total. It has four main large points and four smaller ones spaced in between. [color=bea6f5][b]Star power:[/b][/color] Mia's star power enables her to turn objects or parts of an object intangible. The appearance of the object will remain as if nothing has happened, defying science more than it already is because even if, say, a wall were made intangible, that area still wouldn't let in light from the adjoining room or outdoors. It's like an illusion--there are no giveaway hints, so it's impossible to tell whether something is intangible or not until someone leans against it and goes right through. With the exception of herself, her power doesn't work on other humans or animals. Making herself intangible forms the approximate upper edge of her power. She has trouble making things with a larger area intangible without slipping up--while she might be able to hold it for a few seconds, any longer and parts of the object may start flickering uncontrollably between solid and not. She must also see or touch what she is rendering intangible when she activates it and afterwards remain in short range of it. Overuse of her power gives her headaches and achy bones. Often when she's tired or just extremely upset, feeling strong emotions will cause her to mess up her control... something that has ended in her falling through floors before. [color=bea6f5][b]Personality:[/b][/color] A princess. Often her first impression comes off aloof and somewhat snotty, due to her immaculate wardrobe and upright posture. She's easy to laugh things off and dismiss matters, and likes to slide in a sarcastic comment or two in her conversations. However, she's generally a decent person and open to socialize, though her attention span seems a bit short. She hasn't made it a secret that she's not crazy about grades; she'd rather practice a new routine or have some fun instead of study for the next test. Live your life full is her mentality. Some people get the impression that she doesn't care about anything or anyone deeply at all--calling her distant. Shallow. Snob. Others love it--she's beautiful, mysterious, captivating, if not a bit... Off-putting? She's extremely, almost creepily, observant of others. A long, carefully aimed knowing look has been enough to send a few freshmen into nervous sweats. She also rarely seems to touch people. Most have accepted this and give her her space, but those who try to grab her arm or go in for a hug will often find she's made that part of herself intangible. Despite this, she still has a large friend group. Maybe not close friends, but they're good enough for her. She's a princess up high, and all she's missing is her crown. [color=bea6f5][b]Biography:[/b][/color] There's not much to tell about Mia. Her father immigrated to the United States from China before she was born, met her mother-to-be, fell in love. She was born a year later, her little sister three years after. They were a middle class family with a steady income, living not lavishly but comfortably. As the oldest, her parents saw her fit to take on a lot of responsibility, so she learned to shoulder it young. [i]"Take good care of your younger sister." "It's time for you to learn how to contribute to the household." "Remember, homework before play. When's your next test?"[/i] Everything was [i]normal[/i]. She grew up a little anxious, a little eager to please, a little lonely. But mostly, it was okay. She didn't have a very close relationship with her sister, for in the eyes of a nine or ten year old they were worlds apart, but they were okay too. Her star appeared when she was eleven, and that's when the trouble started. Her parents would have preferred she have gotten a more useful, less prankster-like ability, but for the most part they were fine with it. They didn't care, as long as she kept up her grades and appearances. But Mia... she wasn't okay with it. It made her nervous. She was different, now. Not like the other kids. And they made fun of her. And... Within a month, she proved she couldn't control it. She fell through things when she was too sad, mad, or even overly happy. Then she would sometimes flicker in and out of intangibility for hours, unable to grasp hold of the panic that always enveloped her when these things happened, the catastrophe only ending when she exhausted herself enough to fall asleep and her intangibility shut off. She would wake the next morning, head pounding, bones still aching, and know that she couldn't be sad, or mad, or happy today, because if she was then the whole thing might start all over. After that first month of trial, her parents pulled her out of school. Homeschooling helped, a little, but she still struggled. It was proof that a child's emotions were powerful and volatile. Her parents had never realized before that Mia, their good little girl, felt so strongly. She'd never shown it. After half a year, just as Mia turned twelve, her parents gave up on their notions that Mia could continue normally. Resigned, they put her in Nova Infintium's middle school program, and hoped the teachers there could do better. [color=bea6f5][b]Notable Rumors:[/b][/color] [hider=Rumor One][i]“Do you remember the name Ethan Parker?” “Maybe, I dunno. Why?” “Come [/i]on[i]. Rumored to be Mia’s secret lover and boyfriend? Most average guy but with that cool windy power? “Okay, okay, I remember, what's the point? They were bland. We only have a minute before some teacher comes storming.” “No one has seen him this year, and it's been a month. He should be with us in sophomore. He loved it here.” “So…” “Remember they had that big fight end of last year? Word is Mia thought he was going to reveal some big secret of hers, so she turned the earth under him intangible so he fell in, and then made it solid again. Trapping him in there so he [/i]suffocated to death[i].” “She can't do that. That's scandalous.” “You think she can't? She's stronger than she looks. And meaner. Cheerleader girls always are. Ruthless.” “So what was her secret?” “No one knows, dumbo. That's why she killed Ethan.”[/i][/hider] [hider=Rumor Two][i]“You know what? Mia Zhong is a ghost.” “Now that's funny. Ha. Ha. Good try.” “No, I mean seriously. Has anyone ever touched her?” “Of course someone's touched her!” “Nope. Think harder. They always go right through.” “Maybe she's just touch averse. What about shaking hands?” “She doesn't do that.” “Well, shit.” Nervous laughter. “Now you got me thinking.”[/i][/hider] [color=bea6f5][b]Trivia:[/b][/color] She ended her routine at cheerleader tryouts by backflipping and sinking into the ground. No one can agree whether it was for show or because she got so nervous she lost control at that last moment. She entered the institute's programs when she was twelve.
