She didn't realize that she would have so much fun doing it and it's something that she sticks to. Sabrina plays basketball every now and then. [color=Coral][b]Fashion ⫻[/b][/color] Sabrina has a master's in fashion design and has all sorts of experience designing clothes and picking just the right outfit. [color=Coral][b]Dancing ⫻[/b][/color] Sabrina took a few dance classes back in the day and despite her size her coordination and footwork is nothing to laugh at.[/sub][/hider] [/cell][cell][sub][b][color=coral] Appearance[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"Whatever I wanted to be, I already am."[/i] [indent]Sabrina immediately gives off wallflower vibes. She doesn't really raise her voice - which is a bit deep and husky - and usually keeps herself out of trouble. There's perhaps a touch of sadness in her eyes, a bit of tiredness. Sabrina's posture isn't exactly that great because she's hunched over most of the time and usually takes small steps. Usually, she gives off the aura of "keep your distance from me, please" and a person that's mindful of their environment. Sabrina is like the rabbit, gracefully hopping through the streets of Araminta... or where ever she is. In terms of appearance, she's one gal that's hard to forget about once you see her. Primarily the fact that she's tall at six-four and has a very skinny build. She works out to stay skinny and nothing else, there's a bit of leg definition on her legs from running but that's it. Sabrina has some relatively broad shoulders that would belong on a man and sadly, her butt's flat. There's a bit of masculinity to her body, and her 36B cup size definitely doesn't help. Let me just address the elephant in the room and come out and say it: Sabrina is transgendered. She transitioned in a later point in her life and James covered all of her surgery costs. She's had reassignment surgery and had a bit of facial reconstruction surgery to make it a bit more convincing. Sabrina doesn't want any more surgery and likes herself as she is, feeling like it's a slippery slope as is. Now, Sabrina is a mixed-race gal, and that should be obvious on first glance. Her mother provided the African, and, obviously, her father provided the Caucasian. She's lighter skin, almost off-white, and her body is covered in brown freckles that she inherited from her mother. Sabrina's got thick lips and African hair texture. Speaking of her hair, her hair is a brown color and pretty thick... and she notably keeps it in two massive ponytails that go down to her knees. That's because her mother naturally grows a lot of hair and she passed that down to her. Usually, she keeps it in a very dramatic bun or ties it in a knot or two to shorten the length. And if you're wondering; yes, it's a bitch to maintain. As for clothing, well, Sabrina is affixed to an Apparition that is literally comprised of clothes. She can take the shape of any form of clothing and it'd be a perfect fit for Sabrina. Usually, Sabrina is seen wearing fancy and elaborate outfits. She wears all sorts of clothing, but she likes light-pink and red color.[/indent] [/cell][/row][/table][sub][b] [color=coral]Psychology[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"I'm thankful for everything he did, regardless of what I find out about him."[/i] [INDENT][color=Coral][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Sabrina guesses her main goal is to become a model, but deep down she wants to escape from her father's shadow and to that extent the Vanburen family's. All her life she was just known as one of his children and then the little publicity stunt. Sabrina wants to step out of that shadow and establish to the world that she is her own person and that she isn't some publicity stunt. [color=Coral][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Sabrina is a very spiritual person, despite the fact that she doesn't really believe in any religion (it's still a fun little hobby of hers to research them). She believes that everyone needs to explore their own spirituality and find a deeper meaning in things. Sabrina believes that there are so many layers to a person's soul that it's impossible to decipher in its entirety. The world is a big place, bigger than all of them, but to Sabrina, it's much smaller and less daunting if she connects to other people. Sabrina just loves to explore the symbolism and meanings of animals and even the most mundane things such as colors. [color=Coral][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Sabrina is pansexual. Before she transitioned, Sabrina thought that she was attracted to just men but realized that she's attracted to people. All people regardless of what they identify as or even look. The idea of a relationship is kind of daunting to her because she has never been in a serious one... and wonders if she even wants one. [color=Coral][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Sabrina constantly fears the growing looming thought that society would reject her for what she is. Sabrina just desires the ability to step out of Vanburen's shadow, but when she gets down to it; they are what made her into what she is. And she will always find herself crawling back to them when she needs them the most. [color=Coral][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Sabrina's known in Araminta as that one child of James that transitioned. Her reputation varies as some people who are a bit more archaic see her rather poorly (and at worst, a freak). However, the newer more forward-thinking citizens of Araminta see her as brave, as a shining example... and that doesn't really make Sabrina think any better of them. Online Sabrina is seen a bit more positivity among the LGBT and other such people. [color=Coral][b]THOUGHTS ABOUT FATHER ⫻[/b][/color] Sabrina loves father unconditionally and with all of her heart. James accepted her with open arms and paid for [i]everything[/i] that she needed to be the best person that she wants to be. Sabrina is very taken back by his death... but she asserts that she's going to love him regardless of how many skeletons they find in his closet. [color=Coral][b]FLAWS ⫻[/b][/color] At her worst, Sabrina is very naive and it shows in her decision making. While she sees herself as an open-minded free thinker, she's very green in a lot of ways. She doesn't have a lot of experience dealing with situations that put pressure on her and she's quick to crack. And the result will end in her fleeing from the situation or exploding in rage towards the aggressor. Sabrina tries a bit too hard to ignore the ugly parts of life and focus on the good, even when it comes to people. Because of this, she's quick to trust people, far too quickly, which can be very dangerous. At the end of the day Sabrina is only [i]trying[/i] to do the right thing, even if it can cloud her judgment to doing the more aggressive, harsh things in life. [/INDENT] [sub][b][color=coral] Backstory[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"The caterpillar died and became the butterfly."[/i] [indent]Sabrina Vanburen was born as Tyler Vanburen in Araminta... to his wife Willow Price, the daughter of a football star that hit it off with James. They married and had one child... Tyler Vanburen. The family was nice and snug under their father's care, as he provided everything for them. Although he would go on trips abruptly for months at a time, he made sure his children were happy, well-adjusted people. The family was close-knit and most of the time, the Vanburens only interacted with each other. But, the young Tyler already felt like an outcast among his peers growing up. It started as a fascination with femininity - the color pink, their clothes, and their toys. It started relatively harmless, but he felt like an alien in his skin. The Vanburens forced conventional gender norms on Tyler but he didn't exactly gel too well with it. The Vanburens had a lot of power and influence in the city of Araminta and, thus, that meant Tyler was sent to the best schools that Araminta had to offer. Of course, it was private intuitions and other such places. It was there that Tyler learned that these thoughts of his had to be... suppressed. Mainly because acting like a girl in public only meant that he was seen as some kind of a weirdo and ended with him being bullied. This was where Tyler put on the facade of being one hundred percent male and merely hiding his interests. Tyler started growing up to be fairly tall... and thus the most logical conclusion was for Tyler to join his school's basketball team. Sports wasn't exactly in his interests, but man, he sure found it [i]fun[/i]. Joining the school's basketball team he found himself getting closer to his fellow teammates and thus met a man that would change a huge chunk of his life: Zachery Gordan. Zachary and Tyler just vibed... they were both two shy rich kids that just got along. Throughout the months, they got along more and more... and eventually the two shared a kiss. This threw Tyler into disarray... was he just gay or something, or what? The one thing that he had to keep in mind was that he had to keep this a secret from the Vanburens and the school. Unfortunately, life wasn't that simple when word got out... and it was relentless bullying and other such mean pranks. It was a huge weight on Tyler, but his only comfort was the Vanburens... and father. James Vanburen himself got involved and decided to take it up with the school and when that didn't work; Tyler was plucked out of the academy and sent to an international boarding school in France. Where Tyler was free to learn about himself as he chose and the one person that he made bonds with was a girl named Linda Liu. Now the Lius were a loose associate of the Vanburens, they attended each other's parties. Linda was Tyler's closet friend during his time in France... and eventually helped Tyler discover himself. Or more accurately, herself. With the help of Lin, Tyler realized that he had gender dysphoria and everything that came with that. Tyler was profoundly uncomfortable in his skin and didn't like being something that he was, well, not. It was not possible, not even in the slightest, for Tyler to go on like this. Even if people were to hate him for this, make fun of him, he would still be in a better place than before. He began to buy female clothing and started using female pronouns as he demanded that people call him... Sabrina. And this was where Tyler Vanburen "died" and Sabrina Vanburen was born anew. Like a butterfly that broke free of its cocoon. Going home for summer vacation was a doozy as they were expecting Tyler but got Sabrina instead. This was when she came out as transgendered and expected the worst, but with the feeling that, whatever happened, she would be happy with the choice. James Vanburen took her in with open arms, and so did the rest of the family. James paid for [i]everything[/i] that Sabrina wanted so that she would be happy... even if he didn't entirely understand it. James paid for Sabrina's Estrogen therapy and then paid for her surgery almost a year later. It was daunting going under for the first time, but Sabrina knew that she would be happy. And that she was officially Sabrina Vanburen, her name was legally changed to that and now she was a very happy woman. There were some comments from the general public that she was merely a "publicity stunt" but Sabrina didn't care even in the slightest. Sabrina had graduated from high school, but she didn't know what to do with her life afterward. Sabrina wanted to go into the fashion world, and not just that, she wanted to become a model. James would, naturally, pay for everything that she wanted so the world was her oyster. Eventually, Sabrina went into school for Fashion and intended to become a master's in it. She kept her past a secret as she lived a glorious life that was new and renewed. On the side, Sabrina found her true calling: being a model. The first thing that she did was try to get herself in shape... to mixed results but she wasn't some fat slob. It started as an amateur thing on the side but eventually became more and more of a free time consumer. It was to the point where Sabrina would pass out in class due to being so tired. Most of her work was posted on Instagram and other places where she gained a following, but it came out that she was transgendered. And that was when the hate comments started to the point where she had to disable them... however, she also gained a following in the LGBT community. So hey, at least it was something. Sabrina, after many painful and stressful years of college, earned her master's degree in fashion and entered the insane, insane, world of the fashion industry. As a stylist for a modeling company in LA, she came up with kooky outfits for these models. And it was a fun, stressful, time for Sabrina. On Christmas Eve, Sabrina went home with the rest of the Vanburen family to enjoy a nice time in the Vanburen estate before they went home. Tensions rose and eventually a fight broke out but Sabrina went back to her old room. She fell asleep and that morning, she found out that James... was dead. She was devastated by this. She took some time off, got her head straight... then buried James along with the rest of the Vanburens. She got some time off to grieve and spent it in the Vanburen estate... and wandering it she got to learn about Jame's rather colorful collection. She was confused by the existence of them... magic and ghosts and shit aren't real, why is this locket talking? Sabrina went outside to get some air when she saw a shirt flying through the air... and then it attached itself to her like some kind of parasite and understandably freaked out. However, it introduced herself... as Mary Roberts. And it introduced itself glowingly: like a total pretentious twat. Mary called herself the spirit of high fashion and wanted to find James for personal reasons. However, finding out that he was dead was not good with her plans, but she knew James personally... and latched onto his daughter. She saw Sabrina as a fellow connoisseur of high fashion and worthy of working with her. Mary's ability was incredible... except not like shooting lasers or being supergirl. Sabrina made use of it as she practiced and made herself acquainted with an apparition from the God damn early nineteen-hundreds. Of course, this apparition knew James a bit personally... and then told her some stuff that she isn't comfortable with sharing with the rest of the family. Sabrina didn't feel the effects of the curse as she stuck around in the Vanburen estate...but she was the one there to coordinate her family coming home and heard all about the curse of the Vanburens. Maybe she'd get to the bottom of this.[/indent] [sub][b] [color=coral]Abstraction[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"I could live without magic or any of this craziness."[/i] [indent][color=Coral][b]TYPE ⫻[/b][/color] Aberration (Affixed) [color=Coral][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] [i]Clothing Manipulation,[/i] Sabrina is affixed to an Apparition that has the ability to manipulate clothing near limitlessly and even generate it. [color=Coral][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Mary Roberts in her life was a red Adept that focused on the manipulation of fabrics and after her [i]very [/i]untimely death she returned as an Apparition. One with similar abilities that changed and altered in time, but remained as the manipulation of the materials clothing is comprised of. Mary Roberts is an apparition that inhabits clothing and thus has the ability to manipulate [i]herself[/i]. Her favorite thing to do is be the clothing for her current host that'll constantly shift depending on their form. And she and Sabrina are really close and thus she can more or less channel Mary Roberts power (Something like that, it's really confusing). This allows Sabrina to change her outfit on the fly. Now to begin, Mary's ability at its basest is that she can telekinetically manipulate all fibers/fabrics (wool, silk, cotton, etc), denim, nylons, polyester, rayon, flannel, leather, feather down, linen, and spandex. Naturally, she can move large quantities of this along with the ability to more or less create all sorts of constructions out of it. It's limited only by the materials that she has on hand. This is fairly versatile... just not in a combat setting. She can create barriers, ropes to swing with, and a kickass wardrobe. This ability is naturally on the lower end of the scale, but it has a large amount of versatility... and can still take on the strongest Extra-Normals with a bit of versatility. One aspect of Mary Robin's abstraction is the ability to create fabric from her body, and also absorb this fabric. She can create several meters worth of cloth near instantly from her body, and it appears that Sabrina's outfit stretched. This ability mainly allows Sabrina to have an outfit for any situation, at any time. [color=Coral][b]AURA-SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] In life, Mary Roberts was a very egotistical and vain woman that took far too much pride in her handiwork as an Adept. Which is why she can sense the auras of any outfit or piece of clothing she creates while it's being worn. Now how far she can aura sense depends on how much of an outfit she created for a person, if it's just a shirt (or pants) then she can sense them in a fifteen-meter radius. If it's something insignificant like a hat or shoes then five meters. If it's a full outfit, on the other hand, she can sense them within a fifty-meter radius. [color=Coral][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] Emotional-Fields are a very difficult thing that hampers her ability... normally, Sabrina could use Mary to strangle anyone, but with the existence of the Extra-Normals, she has a hard time penetrating emotional fields. To make it short, she can't do anything like strangling someone with clothes ([s]Unless they're into that[/s]). Sabrina/Mary can manipulate large amounts of clothes at a time in an effective range of around fifteen meters, outside of that her abstraction is a bit harder to use. Mary Robins can instantly create around six feet of cloths, but at the very most she can create around thirty-six feet. After she reached that limit she has to retract it and it'll take her a while to "replenish" her supply. Finally, her abstraction is limited by her stamina. [color=Coral][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] There's not really a whole lot of weaknesses to her abstraction due to it's relatively low nature. Regardless of how much she changes the textile strength clothing can still be destroyed by fire and other corrosive materials. Also getting clothes wet is not ideal as it makes manipulating clothes a lot harder and heavier.
