Better late than never! 

[hider=S. Scott-Janssen]
[b][u]Name:[/u][/b] Serena Scott-Janssen

[b][u]Known Aliases:[/u][/b] Red

[b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] The type of individual who walks past you without so much glancing in your direction if she mistakenly bumps you in the shoulder. To her, the majority of the universe might as well not exist, though the way in which she carries herself elicits a completely different response. Serena stands at roughly 5'5 and has a rather slim figure.  At most, she weighs around 125 pounds and despite the fact she looks somewhat fragile, Serena is stronger than she appears. The young woman will typically be spotted with her hair down wearing dark clothing, though obviously as of late her fashion choices are limited to one single outfit.

[b][u]Psyche Profile:[/u][/b] A bit of a drama queen which in this context could be taken quite literally. Serena doesn’t mind playing games to get the attention of the guards, whether that be faking an injury or attempting to seduce any of them who made the mistake of being within close proximity of her. She’ll use these tactics to get what she wants; maybe a little bit of entertainment or an additional piece of fruit. However with that being said, she isn't too much of a social butterfly just for the sake of it and her interactions with anyone other than staff is kept at a minimum. She rarely engages unless she's approached first, and that's usually to tell them to go to hell and leave her alone.

Serena does not let anyone dictate her actions nor does she allow them to walk all over her. She, however, is mostly compliant with the guards and only because she has to be. She is savvy enough to know that non-compliance will not end favorably for her, which she's experienced twice before. Serena has been in the facility for just under a year, and her time served has afforded her with some of the knowledge and experience to survive that place.

[b][u]Background:[/u][/b] Born in New York City but raised in Chicago by her adoptive parents, Derek Scott and Melissa Janssen. Serena lived a normal childhood save for the occasional side stare or hushed comment made just out of range. Yes, she knew she was adopted from a very young age given appearances don't lie, but that didn't phase her much. She was loved and looked after, and both of her parents treated her just as good—if not better—than any one blood relative would treat their loved one. And for that she was thankful and always considerate of them, especially once it was found out that Serena had the ability to manipulate someone's blood by coming into contact with them.

When she was a teenager, Serena received an e-mail from an unknown individual. The message was shocking and not at all something she was expecting. Essentially, she was asked whether she wanted to complete various tasks in exchange for bits and pieces of information regarding her birth parents. Reading the message angered Serena at first. She imagined some distant cousin or a friend pulling the terrible prank on her without any concern towards her feelings or emotions whatsoever. She had initially reread the message a few times before closing shut the laptop with tears in her eyes. Serena was distraught for a while, but eventually she replied to the sender and they had a back and forth where further information was revealed to her.

Come to find out, the tasks she needed to complete were simple enough but in no time turned illegal and dangerous. However, what kept her going was a picture she was sent of herself as a very young child in the orphanage she lived at prior to her adoption. At first, Serena was running somewhat complicated errands, but then that work shifted to minor theft and other related crimes. That in turn shifted to crimes against persons. Assault, robbery...murder. Serena wasn't slowing down any time soon. Every few tasks that were completed afforded her a small clue, but whoever was operating on the other side of the screen was smart given that Serena would have to be doing this for quite a while to get a solid lead. At some point she became obsessed, and she became so reckless that her parents threw her out of their home. Their relationship then damaged, Serena wasn't looking back at that point. Soon after that she resorted to finding the person pulling her strings like a puppet. She figured if she got to them, she'd save time in finding her family. However, such betrayal came at a price, which was her freedom. Serena attempted to evade being captured for as long as she could, but one evening after running for what seemed like an eternity, she was cornered in an alley and defeated almost immediately. They obviously knew what they were up against, and ever since she's been looking for a way out to resume her search.

[b][u]Capabilities:[/u][/b] Previously being a gymnast, going as far as competing, Serena is strong, agile, and extremely flexible. She is as gracious on the air as she is on her feet. 

[b][u]Power(s):[/u][/b] The ability to manipulate blood by coming into physical contact with a person or animal. This includes, and is not limited to, controlling the flow, viscosity, shape, temperature, etc. of blood. Serena is unable to manipulate any other liquid belonging to a living being, whether that's their saliva or urine. She is also able to manipulate her own blood, but would unfortunately also suffer the repercussions just like anyone else if she crossed the line into self-harm. Nonetheless, the ability is advantageous in that aspect in the event that, for example, she needed to prevent herself from bleeding to death. The larger the surface area of skin she comes in contact with, the faster her ability will work its magic. If blood is spilled, it’s as good as dead and would be rendered useless. Additionally, the host must be alive otherwise she won’t have any effect over them.

[b][u]Power Limits:[/u][/b] Once that physical contact is broken, she will immediately lose whatever power she had over a person, therefore she must be touching them at all times. The stronger a person is, either mentally and/or physically, the longer it may take her to gain control over them. 

[b][u]Known Vulnerabilities:[/u][/b] Serena must be mindful of all the diseases transmittable by blood as the longer she's in contact with a victim, the more likely it is for her to catch any one of those diseases even if none of their blood gets on her. If a person is drunk, or has any level of alcohol in their system, Serena risks the same if she maintains contact for a prolonged period of time.

[b][u]Motives:[/u][/b] Eventually, Serena wants to repair her relationship with her mom and dad. She also wants to find her birth parents and get to know any other relatives she may have.

[b][u]Level:[/u][/b] TBD.

[b][u]Recommended Containment Procedures:[/u][/b] No contact whatsoever with her is permitted unless the guards handling her are clothed and covered from head to toe and she is wearing the jumpsuit especially designed for her. The latter consists of a full bodysuit with gloved hands and covered feet. Additionally, there is a restraining device attached to the wall opposite the cell door that is controlled by the guards whenever they need to enter her cell. It is locked and unlocked via remote control by one of the guards and the device is kept away from her at all times.

[b][u]Notes:[/u][/b] None.[/hider]
