At 5'2" and 113 pounds, she certainly is [i]small[/i], but it goes beyond that. Her shoulders are often bent, her eyes downcast, her head down reading whatever it is she's picked up that day. She slouches more often than not. It doesn't help that she has a bit of a babyface. Her doe-brown eyes are generally somewhere else, lost in thought. She has short, shoulder-length brown hair. She's Caucasian, her skin pale and clammy and easy to burn. Speaking to a dislike of exercise, she has little muscle definition, yet some curves remain. More often than not, Marcie prefers a... subtler style. Essentially, that means she wears whatever she can find in her closet first. A zip-up hoodie and boot-cut jeans is her go-to outfit, but she can be seen rocking a short-sleeved shirt and cargo shorts on occasion. She likes sneakers best. Usually, her hair is down and framed around her face, although she does occasionally put it into a ponytail or a half-up style. She hates make-up and will do anything to avoid wearing it. Her superhero costume rarely sees any sort of use, but it's a white-and-blue two-piece get-up designed mostly for comfort and protection over style. In effect, it's a long-sleeved white shirt with a snowflake symbol in the middle with black-and-blue pants, with a visor, black gloves, and black boots. [/INDENT] [color=cce7ff][B][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/B][/color] [INDENT] [color=cce7ff]◈ [b]R E S E R V E D[/b][/color] Marcie, as a rule, prefers books and TV shows and movies to most people. It's not that she hates all people- she certainly doesn't- it's that she finds socialization rather confusing and irritating. As a result, her friends can be counted on one hand. A part of it is because it's difficult to get Marcie talking. Her responses are generally monosyllabic unless you've hit on an interesting topic for her or something she wants to elaborate on. Otherwise, she can be almost rude, although that's nearly never her intent. In addition to this sort of antisocial-ness, her reserved nature means that she is often a calming, reliable voice. [color=cce7ff]◈ [b]N E R D[/b][/color] As a self-described geek, Marcie can often be found engaging in her favorite forms of media and topics. Particular favorites of hers include astronomy, shark biology, and film. She never misses an opportunity to talk extensively about her favorite things. She's known to always have a book in her hand or in her bag. [color=cce7ff]◈ [b]C L I N G Y[/b][/color] Although she has few, when Marcie finds a friend she tends to cling on. This can be both an unhealthy habit and an endearing one. She's dedicated to her the little friends she has, and her loyalty is guaranteed. However, this tendency also makes her a bit annoying. She's lost many a friend because she couldn't respect boundaries or simply was just a bit too dependent. [color=cce7ff]◈ [b]S T U B B O R N[/b][/color] Marcie has a habit of listening to no one but herself, one that hasn't served her very well in the past. She has a tendency to believe that her (and only her) opinion is always correct, whether or not it actually makes sense. Often, she refuses to admit she was wrong until the last possible second or not until it blows up in her face. She's also rather stubborn with grudges- she can hold one for years without letting up. Most of all, she hates being wrong. [/INDENT] [color=cce7ff][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [INDENT]Marceline Donnelly-Alexander (or Marcie, as she prefers to go by) is a third-generation hero. She's the daughter of two famous heroines, Patricia "Aria" and Eliza "Murmur" Donnelly-Alexander, and the granddaughter of (on Eliza's side), Victoria "Heartstrings" and Julian "Wintergreen" Alexander. All were highly respected heroes back in the Golden Age and Marcie expects to live up to that legacy. So, yeah. No pressure. Through a series of events involving several miracles of modern fertility medicine, Marcie's mothers were able to have biological children together. Three, to be exact- an all-female set of fraternal triplets: Marcie, Rory, and Amber. They were wanted and loved by their parents. After long and successful careers, Patricia and Eliza decided to settle down and retire to an idyllic farmhouse in the suburbs with their three bundles of joy. Growing up, the triplets were incredibly close. They were always getting into things they weren't supposed to and just being overall little terrors. Needless to say, they were best friends. Things started to deteriorate when they hit middle-school age. All three started to develop powers of their own- Marcie had cryokinesis, Amber had invisibility/intangibility, and Rory had musical mind control. Along with superhuman puberty came, well, actual puberty. Amber in particular started to pull away from her sisters at this age, preferring other friends. Rory started to make other friends, too, but Marcie just... didn't. She had a hard time making friends and if she wasn't eating lunch or hanging out with her sister, she was alone. Which was fine. She liked being alone. The part that really sucked, though, was the bullying. She had always been the awkward one, the one that didn't fit in, and other kids saw that and lashed out at her. Luckily, she would always have Rory and to a lesser extent Amber, but it still felt terrible. When she was old enough, she transferred to the Academy for Junior Heroes with her sister, Rory. Amber refused to go. It was better there. Rory made a place for her with her friends (even if Marcie felt embarrassed that she had to do so) and she even made a few of her own. Exploring her power was good, and Marcie loved using it. Their moms wouldn't them become heroes before 18. Marcie waited for that day (their 18th birthday) impatiently. Even if being a hero wasn't all that it had been cracked up to be before, she still wanted to be one desperately. It was about the family thing, sure, but it was also about the cool factor. She wanted to use her powers, not allow them to go unused as so many others did. The education the Academy offered helped, too- it idealized the profession for her. Now, the day has come. She's 18, and she and her sister have just signed onto H.E.R.O. Who knows what'll come next? [/INDENT] [color=cce7ff][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [indent]Marcie was diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) when she was 6 years old. Has written fanfiction at least once. Don't ask.

[/indent] [hider=Abilities] [color=cce7ff][B][ RANKING ][/B][/color] [INDENT]A-[/INDENT] [color=cce7ff][B][ POWERS ][/B][/color] [INDENT]For Marcie, ice is the name of the game. Her power allows her to pull any water molecules from within a 7-yard radius of her out of the air or off of surfaces and convert them into solid ice. It's a versatile power and one that has many uses, but it's as simple as that. It can be hampered by environmental conditions- for example, it's much more difficult to create ice on hot and/or dry days than it is to create ice on cold and/or humid days. The temperature and amount of molecules at her fingertips matter. Likewise, she's more powerful near bodies of water than not. Her power also grants her resistance to extreme heat and cold to a certain extent. [/INDENT] [color=cce7ff][B][ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ][/B][/color] ■□□□□□□□□□ [INDENT]1/10.

Consistently the top of her class in everything but P.E. (blech), and has been told that if she wanted to, she could go to an Ivy League university.

She's not going to rip any holes through buildings or anything, but she has been known to leave rooms, people, objects, and areas frozen over. If she draws from the wrong source or freezes the wrong thing, it can be catastrophic. Plus, when it melts, it's a giant pain in the ass.[/INDENT] [color=cce7ff][B][ LETHALITY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■□□□ [INDENT]7/10. Marcie has never killed someone and has no desire to, but she has the capability. While she's certainly never experimented with it, it's a possibility that her power could allow her to draw water from another person's body. Ice also has the tendency to be very cold, and if she leaves someone encased in it for too long, they might become hypothermic. Ice can also be incredibly sharp and slippery, so she could probably rip a hole through someone if she tried or make them slip to their death.[/INDENT] [color=cce7ff][B][ ENDURANCE ][/B][/color] ■■■□□□□□□□ [INDENT]3/10. While she has resistance to extreme temperatures, Marcie cannot take a strong hit and would not last long in a fistfight.[/INDENT] [color=cce7ff][B][ EFFICACY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■□□□□ [INDENT]6/10. It's a solidly reliable power. Water is all around, in everything, even if you can't see it all the time. Marcie has a strong supply of it to reach for. Its biggest weakness is that it can be easily gotten rid of by heat. Even the sharpest ice melts under high temperatures.

Her body is of middling size- she couldn't be described as thin, fat, or particularly muscular. She has medium-brown eyes, full lips that can often be found pressed into a smirk, and a petite nose. Her nose is pierced in the left nostril, although it can't be seen in her costume. Her hair is naturally a mousy brown but is bleached a platinum blonde and cut into a shoulder-length bob cut. She has fair skin that sunburns rather easily. [/INDENT] [color=1d7572][B][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/B][/color] [INDENT][color=1d7572]◈ [b]“S P O I L E D B I T C H”[/b][/color] Even as a child, Abby was never known to be particularly [i]nice[/i]. In fact, she can be downright cruel. Insults, humiliation, and harmful “pranks” are some of her favorite pastimes and, as such, she’s quite legendary for being a person that no one particularly enjoys being around. Despite the joy she takes in bringing other people down, she’s used to people giving her whatever she wants. She’s entitled and rude- the sort of person to turn down a gift if she thinks it was cheap. [color=1d7572]◈ [b]C O N N I V I N G[/b][/color] In tandem with her unkind nature, Abby knows which switches to flip to get someone to do exactly what she wants. Although she has little experience in manipulating actual, serious villains, she often uses this skill to her advantage. She excels at telling people what they want to hear, at wrapping them around her little finger. In addition to this manipulativeness, Abby is not a person taken to doing good. Although she stops short at actual murder, she has no qualms about plotting robberies and hurting others. She’s quite good at strategy and planning. [color=1d7572]◈ [b]S C A R E D L I T T L E G I R L[/b][/color] Under all the swagger and manipulation, Abby is still a young woman in [i]way[/i] over her head. Essentially, she doesn’t know what she’s doing. She certainly set out to be a villain, but the realities of her chosen profession have not been and will not be kind to her. When the consequences of her actions catch up to her, she usually flees with her tail between her legs. [/INDENT] [color=1d7572][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [INDENT]Abby was born in Ashfield, Nebraska, the only child of the heirs to a large agriculture company. When she was still an infant, her parents sold their business to an international corporation for a shitton of money. So, essentially, she was set for life. If she hadn’t screwed it up, that is. As far as she knows, Abby was the first one in her family to have powers for generations. When she got expelled for copying herself in middle school to skip class, her parents were shocked. They hadn’t expected her to have powers. After that incident, they had her enrolled in a private school far from home with a special program for teenagers with powers. Abby [i]hated[/i] that school. The uniforms, the rules, the special program for controlling her powers… it was all such bullshit! So, she got herself expelled on purpose. And the next school? Expelled on purpose? The next? Well… it went the same. At the same time, she was also developing an avid shoplifting habit. She found that she loved the “thrill of the hunt”, so to speak, even if she didn’t necessarily [i]need[/i] the stuff. Stealing an Apple Watch was so much better than just buying it. Eventually, that habit landed her in juvie. By the time she was 18, Abby had been expelled from five schools, had been to juvie twice (once for a week and another for a month), and had officially worn her parents to the bone. There was no reason for her misbehavior- in their minds, they had done nothing wrong- so the problem was [i]her[/i]. They pulled some strings, got her into a private college in Castleburg, and shipped her off for the last time. At first, Abby loved college. The coursework wasn’t the best, but she had the money to pay people to do her work for her. But what she truly loved was freedom. Frat parties and catty sororities were her dream, and she fit in. Of course, she still maintained her bad habits. She was notorious around campus for having sticky fingers. And for messing around with her powers. People loved to see how many clones she could make. That’s how the accident happened. Abby had never generated [i]that many[/i] clones at once, but when she did, they started to come out wrong. Missing limbs and appendages, their speech slurred, their bodies deformed. But she kept pushing and pushing until she turned out one that was actually… [i]smart[/i]. It could have coherent conversations, and even had its own free will. It creeped her out, but she went out with it anyway. It would be fun to see what it could steal. Things that got bad when she sent it into the Target and instructed it to take something. Instead of following her directives, it grabbed a bat and started hitting people. And then, it came for her. It was a fight that resulted in a lot of blood, but she managed to take it out. Not without collateral damage, though. Before she had killed it, it had critically injured three people- one of them a toddler. Abby was frightened, and ran- something that made it worse for her. She was expelled from school and became a fugitive on the run from HERO. She managed to evade them until they stopped looking, and now? She’s a career villain. It’s not something that she [i]didn’t[/i] want- she had always been a thief- but the way it came about was certainly inconvenient for her. Now, two years later, former agriculture heiress Abigail Nielsen lives in a one-room dump in Brookside, paying an obscenely high rent under the table and doing whatever villain work she can. No matter what she steals and pawns off and no matter who she’s a goon for, she’s always one bad week away from losing everything. So one could say that she’s in the market for… something more lucrative.[/INDENT] [color=1d7572][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [indent]Abby has a bad nicotine habit- mostly vapes. She skateboards. Her birthday is on April 16th. Has a mild Midwestern accent. Hex code is #1d7572.[/indent] [hider=Abilities] [color=1d7572][B][ RANKING ][/B][/color] [INDENT]B- [/INDENT] [color=1d7572][B][ POWERS ][/B][/color] [INDENT]Abby has fairly standard self-duplication powers. While standing still, concentrating, and with a little bit of space, she can generate copies of herself. They’re solid, squishy, and realistic replicas of Abigail. They’re not complete replicas, though. If someone were to stab one of them, they wouldn’t find blood and bone. They’d find a strange blue goo, and that the clone would hardly feel any pain as it was stabbed. It would just keep going. They’re as strong as her and as fast as her, but not nearly as smart. Most of her clones are only able to form monosyllabic grunts and words on their own, barely able to tie phrases together. They only speak on request by Abigail. If left on their own, they’ll most likely charge their opponents without a care for safety or strategy. As far as Abigail can tell, they don’t think. They’re just empty husks that look like her. But they do listen to her! The vast majority of her clones follow her orders without even a second of hesitation. She can create up to 18 clones safely at a time, she’s found. After that… things get weird. The quality of her clones deteriorates as she summons more. The first clone she summons might be able to speak, listen, and report back. But by number 10, her clones start to lose fingers, toes. Even an arm once at 16. Their faces get messed up, their bone structures twist and grow. Once, at clone #19, she created a clone without any legs or arms and a twisted face- just a torso. But the problem isn’t the ones that are missing parts. The problem is the ones who don’t listen. She’s created three of what she terms as “psycho clones”. Their faces are warped, their bodies missing pieces, but they’re smart. Too smart. Once she gets past clone 18, the chance of accidentally creating a psycho clone grows. And those things are bloodthirsty. The only thing that’ll stop them from killing (preferably Abigail) is a bullet to the brain. This aspect of her power freaks her out, but she’s always trying to grow her clone capacity. If she just concentrates a bit more, she knows she can do it. [/INDENT] [color=1d7572][B][ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ][/B][/color] ■■□□□□□□□□ [INDENT]2/10.

Abby’s powers, for the most part, work fairly well. Unless she exceeds her limit, her clones come out looking identical and being perfect, order-following machines. The problem lies in exceeding her limit. Once she exceeds 18, clones start to come out malformed. And then… well, she’s termed them her [i]psycho clones[/i]. They’re bloodthirsty, intelligent monsters with a single drive: to kill. Specifically, her.
