Her family was small, but close-knit and loving. Her mother, Shauna, was always incredibly sensitive and regalled Cleo and her brother Callum with vivid stories of otherworldly creatures and magical realms. As Cleo and Callum grew older, Shauna’s sensitivity continued to intensify, untreated, into excruciating headaches and bouts of hysteria, filling their home with tension and unease. Callum's way of dealing with the chaos was to rebel against it, frequently getting into trouble for anti-social behavior. The strain eventually tore their family apart, with their father leaving to escape the turmoil. At thirteen, Cleo began experiencing the same severe headaches that had plagued her mother. These were accompanied by the unsettling intrusion of others’ thoughts into her mind. Frightened and isolated, she struggled to keep her burgeoning abilities a secret while caring for her rapidly deteriorating mother. Her brother, having turned his life around enough to attend university, recognised Cleo’s suffering and introduced her to Eilidh Vass, a skilled psionic and registered Hyperhuman. Desperate to remove the painful power, and fearful of own her future, Cleo sought Eilidh's mentorship. Through calming, meditative techniques, and visualisation techniques, Eilidh helped Cleo manage her abilities enough to start functioning normally again. Thinking she could suvive that way, Cleo pushed on in life. A turning point came when Shauna's condition worsened to the point of needing institutional care. It was Eilidh who helped with this, ensuring that Shauna wasn't punished for hiding her Hyperhuman ability. Determined to find a way to help her mother, with the assistance and connection of Eilidh, Cleo applied to PRCU, seeking to master her abilities and ultimately find a way to bring her mother back from the brink of madness.

Sharp fashion, with eclectic influences. She opts for sharp pieces that add touches of sophistication but pairs it off with grunge elements - keeping an attention to detail, but playing with texture, colour, and patterns. She adds feminine touches with quirky heels, pastel colours, and eye-catching makeup. She has a delicate, but expressive face with blue, almond shaped eyes that often sparkle with curiosity, or simmer with fire when she feels inclined to display her passions. She keeps her hair cut to her jawline, tousled and messy, blonde at the tips and dark at the root. Cleo is a highly expressive and animated individual, and it shows on her face - whether it’s a playful smirk or a narrowing of her eyes, people will usually know just how she’s feeling. Occasionally, a faint shimmer surrounds her - an aura of her psychic energy that certainly becomes more noticeable when she’s using her powers. Small, colourful bubbles might occasionally appear around her - especially if she’s feeling strong emotions. [/INDENT][/COLOR] [INDENT][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] M A N N E R I S M S & P E R S O N A L I T Y[/color] [color=94b9ff]M A N N E R I S M S & P E R S O N A L I T Y[/color][/b][i] - OPTIONAL[/i][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]________________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=GRAY][INDENT] One might describe Cleo as a whimsical young woman, and while that isn’t entirely untrue, it’s only half of the story. On one hand she can be very light, airy, and carefree but beneath the surface there is a toughness and resilience that developed as a product of her upbringing. She does not suffer fools, and she is not easily influenced or impressed by status or social hierarchy. She’s never afraid to challenge someone, and is honest to a fault - sometimes to her detriment. She finds happiness in loud music, in dancing, and in being social - she has a dry and quick wit that is telling of her heritage. Meditation, and spiritual practice has also been paramount to the development of her abilities, and so she carries those beliefs with her as something sacred, and her safe place. As a psionic, she has a remarkable emotional intelligence, with an ability to understand people, and it is coupled with another psionic trait - one of natural intelligence for most academic pursuits, this is unfortunately quite heavily tempered with airheaded tendencies. She can be forgetful, clumsy, or analyse something too deeply that she ends up in entirely the wrong train of thought entirely - unsure of how she even arrived there. Within her lies a fire that fuels her ambitions and dreams. Cleo is fiercely independent and driven, using her tough upbringing as her source of strength. She approaches life with a blend of practicality and imagination, however she harbours her insecurities and fears about her abilities. She feels her development is lagging behind her peers and questions her usefulness in a team. This self-doubt can often be a source of internal conflict, and there are times she feels inadequate.

Her bubbles are versatile, and allow her to utilise and control her abilities in impactful ways. With the bubbles, she is able to control unwanted, and accidental psychic communication. Cleo can create bubbles that allow her to briefly share emotions with others, like catching a spritz of perfume when a bubble pops - only it's filled with unbridled, momentary joy. This ability can enable her to calm an agitated person, or alternatively to inspire confidence. It’s not a power she leans into too much, she struggles with the ethics of her abilities - and tries to use them as infrequently as possible for such reasons. Similarly, Cleo can establish telepathic links with others, allowing for silent communication over short distances, using the bubbles as conduits for sending thoughts or images directly to another person's mind; such control and entry into someone’s mind is something she struggles with, and it’s a power she hasn’t been too adept at using. As her bubbles are made entirely of her psionic energy, they are capable of holding, manipulating and levitating objects within them. She can move items, and throw things. [i]Now, her aim on the other hand… We don't talk about that...[/i] Without an item in them, the bubbles can be used to inflict non-fatal harm by bursting upon impact with a target, delivering a mini dose of sleepiness, confusion, or disorientation. A feeling that washes over, just enough to catch someone off guard. Finally, her bubbles can provide small and temporary protective barriers for herself and others to shield from minor attacks, but they will disappear upon impact.[/indent] [sub][b][color=94b9ff] L I M I T A T I O N S || Concentration[/color][/b][/sub] [INDENT] In order to manipulate her energy, it requires a huge amount concentration and a clear mind. The success of her bubbles always hinges on her ability to stay calm and focused. Mental fatigue, stress, sensory overload, or physical disruption impact her control over the bubbles. At this stage in her power development, it is difficult to manipulate the bubbles over long distances, the further they get from her, the weaker the link becomes and the more difficult it is to maintain their integrity. The bubbles are fragile. They’re bubbles afterall… They can easily be burst by physical objects or disruptions in the environment - even minor contact can cause them to pop and nullify their effects. [/indent] [sub][b][color=94b9ff] W E A K N E S S E S || Physical Attacks[/color][/b][/sub] [INDENT]First and foremost, Cleo is physically weak; and any kind of physical threat would render her defenseless. If she cannot access her bubbles, she would be overpowered physically. Secondly, she is so dependant on being calm therefore anything that becomes overwhelming emotionally will render her powers too difficult to use. Psionic power is also mentally draining, and too much use and over-exertion will cause crippling migraines.[/indent][/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][cell][indent][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] S K I L L S & T A L E N T S[/color] [color=94b9ff]S K I L L S & T A L E N T S[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [INDENT][sub][b][color=94b9ff] S K I L L S[/color][/b][/sub] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [INDENT][sup][COLOR=gray][COLOR=94b9ff]◼ [b]S K I L L S[/b] ||[/COLOR] [i]Interpersonal Skills - She makes a great and encouraging teammate, and is able to coordinate and work effectively with all manner of people. Strong persuasive skills/high emotional intelligence that allow her to understand and empathise with the motivations and feelings of others. Esoteric Senses - An uncanny ability to sense the unseen and feel the otherworldly. She knows when the vibes are off and an ill wind doesn't go unnoticed. She’ll often act on these instincts before others perceive a change. This extends to people as well; she can tell when someone's got a "shite aura." Smart Cookie - Skilled in science and mathematics; something that often surprises those around her given her usual airheaded demeanor. She is a vast repository of obscure knowledge, capable of recalling facts and details about people, places, and things with startling accuracy (especially the most seemingly irrelevant tidbits). Bonus points if it’s at the most unexpected/inappropriate time.
