[hider=Shadow]

Name: Ellie Waters
Codename: Shadow
Age:  25
Gender: Female
Affiliation: Dampened (Superhuman inside Academy)

Power: 
"Darkness Manipulation"-Ellie can 'gather' shadows to make a room darker. She can also mask herself in shadows, so it helps for sneaking around in dark places. Her last ability is to manipulate shadows into a solid substance such as shields or weapons like daggers ('maaaaAAAaaagic'). Though she still sucks at controlling this last ability. 
*potentially can teleport through shadows, but has ZERO success thus far*

Weaknesses:
Light. In the sunlight, especially around noon, she can't use her abilities to her full potential. So she only is an asset during the night or at dusk/dawn.
And she can only manipulate existing shadows/darkness so far.

Personality: Despite being a superhuman associated with darkness, Ellie is a somewhat positive person. She tries to find the silver lining in any situation--though she may come across as being sarcastic. Always a glass-half-full type of person, Ellie looks at her status as a gift despite public prejudice.

Appearance: Ellie is of average height and average build. She's not muscular or chunky but average. She has curly and kinky natural red hair that she often keeps in one big french braid. And even though the rest of her siblings had nice, brown coffee-colored skin--Ellie took after their grandmother and was on the paler side and riddled with orange/brown freckles. Her eyes, however, are a beautiful shade of brown.

Other: Wants to be an actual superhero that doesn't cause damage or kill civilians. Oh my.

History: Ellie is fresh meat at the Academy as she just came into her powers the past three months. Her family is from Chicago, and it's rumored one of her cousins was killed 30 years ago during the battle on Chicago that went wrong. Her family is lower middle class, and once she faded into the shadows quite literally one evening at dinner, her mother was the first to call SDMS--though her father was very much against it. 

Ellie, at the time, reluctantly agreed with her mother's wishes. But now that she's at the Academy, she secretly wishes her mother would have never called.
