[color=cca4e0][b]Bookworm  ⫻[/b][/color] Aya is a voracious reader, rarely found without a book by her side. She reads very quickly and is a bit of a sponge when it comes to soaking in information she reads… But generally, she enjoys fiction over informational reading.

[color=cca4e0][b]Orienteering  ⫻[/b][/color] While Aya’s a shy nerd, she wasn’t someone who stayed cooped up inside… She just dislikes crowded places. Back in Shadow she was very into orienteering, often doing it with her older sister. This means she’s good at reading an old school map, at navigating using key features around herself, and has surprising stamina and speed when it comes to hiking. So if you’re lost with no phone signal, she’s pretty good at figuring out where to go.

[color=cca4e0][b]De-escalation  ⫻[/b][/color] Aya’s pretty good at getting people to de-escalate and calm down through sheer panic and looking like she’s on a verge of breaking down. She hates fighting so much that she’ll do absolutely anything to stop it… To the point it’s practically a skill. 

[color=cca4e0][b]Tabletop Games  ⫻[/b][/color] Aya is a master of both games like Dungeons & Dragons, and a wide variety of board game. Her little group of nerds at highschool were always getting together to play D&D or board games together. She’s surprisingly competitive when it comes to the latter, whereas the former really lets her come out of her shell… But she can only do it with people she’s comfortable with in the first place.

[i]"I miss my dark hair… This draws too much attention. I d-don’t like that."[/i]

[indent]Ayesha’s counterpart- Alannah- was much more… expressive than Ayesha is. Her tightly coiled, natural hair is dyed a bright orange-red. It’s well maintained and styled, varying from simple hairstyles like tying it back to putting in the effort to twist it into protective hairstyles that’ll last weeks. It technically goes almost to her shoulders, but its length greatly varies with how it's treated and styled. Sometimes its more like an afro,  On top of normal lobe piercings, she has a nostril piercing [i]and[/i] belly button piercing. Unlike her, Alannah would actually wear things that showed this off. 

Their build is similar. Short, and more stocky, with wider hips but a minimal chest. Thankfully no piercings… Alannah’s skin is a dark, red toned brown, relatively unmarred apart. Aya has only found a couple of scars: one on her left knee, another on her right abdomen. Both small, but there’s a larger one across her back she doesn’t know about yet. Her dark brown eyes are expressive, though they now normally hold nervousness.

Alannah’s style varied- from crop tops and wide legged jeans, to tighter short dresses, to longer summer dresses. Thankfully, the latter is closer to what Aya is comfortable with, and she can match wider legged pants with baggy t-shirts! Aya was always a knit jumper girl… Unfortunately Alannah seems to have a distinct lack of those in her wardrobe. [/indent]

[i]"Please don’t shout! Isn’t it ea-easier to just talk?"[/i]

[INDENT][b][color=cca4e0]MAIN GOAL  ⫻[/color][/b] Ayesha wants a quiet life. She wants to complete her degree, get her job, and live in a little bubble with her close friends. So to do that, she needs to go back to her original body! And not have a ghost attached to her!

[color=cca4e0][b]PHILOSOPHY  ⫻[/b][/color] Aya believes in tight knight community and helping others, while also being about to retain your own space. She believes strongly in peace, and that violence only perpetuates more violence. 

[color=cca4e0][b]SECRETS  ⫻[/b][/color] Aya tends to hide her sexuality, though she’s mostly accepted it herself. Her family is quite conservative, and she tends to assume other people are unless she knows them better. 

[color=cca4e0][b]SEXUALITY  ⫻[/b][/color] Aya is a lesbian, though she’s not particularly open about it. She’s kissed a few girls in highschool, but is generally quite inexperienced. 

[color=cca4e0][b]FEARS  ⫻[/b][/color] Aya has social anxiety, struggling with panic attacks whenever she has to talk to new people. While she’s improved in the last couple of years to the point of being able to push through, she still finds it incredibly difficult and often stammers. Aya fears rejection, being judged, and being hated by other people. She’s generally a very nervous person, the kind who jumps at loud sounds and shouting. As she was bullied at school, she fears confrontation and becoming a complete outcast again. She also has a deep fear of spiders.

[color=cca4e0][b]REPUTATION IN SHADOW ⫻[/b][/color] Aya was an often overlooked, quiet and nerdy girl. She had her small group of friends in highschool and then university, but very few would know her outside of that. When she wasn’t overlooked in highschool she was bullied… But thankfully she hasn’t dealt with that since she was sixteen. So generally, she was pretty forgettable. 

[color=cca4e0][b]FLAWS  ⫻[/b][/color] Aya’s social anxiety is her greatest flaw. It makes it difficult for her to talk confidently to other people, and often sends her into panic attacks when she has to push out of her comfort zone. She’s got low self confidence. Her voice will get lost in the crowd, and she rarely pushes her own opinion even if she knows she’s right. She’ll go with the more confident people, being much more of a follower than she is a leader. She lacks a backbone. Because of her low self confidence, she can often be quite harsh on herself, and hates how much she struggles with things that should be easy. She can also be quite eccentric, with nerdy interests that she’ll gladly talk about for hours with the few people she’s comfortable with. But she was bullied heavily in highschool, which only adds to her struggle with talking to people she doesn’t know. It takes her a long time to get over her nerves.

[sub][b][color=cca4e0] Backstory[/color][/b][/sub]
[sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub]
[i]"I love my home. I miss it."[/i]

[indent]Ayesha was born the second child to Nigerian parents who moved over to the USA before she was born, in Gary, Indiana. Her upbringing was relatively normal, at least in her eyes. Stricter, conservative parents, sure, but they loved their three children. While they weren’t the best off, they never went hungry. 

Aya was always a quiet, shy child. Especially close to her older sister, she struggled to socialise outside of her family for most of her early years. She would always be hiding behind her parents legs or nervously following behind her much more outgoing sister. It wasn’t until she hit her teens that she really made [i]any[/i] friends. Other people like her- the shy and quiet nerds. People who didn’t mind just all sitting in a room together and reading, and who got excited about the same nerdy hobbies. 

But with her slightly increased confidence came something to tear it back down. Other teenagers were cruel, and Aya was an easy target for bullying. Verbal bullying and pranks turned into physical aggression that had her not wanting to go to school more often than not. But her parents wouldn’t allow something like that- not after they’d worked so hard to make sure their children got a good education. 

It hit its breaking point when she was almost sixteen. After daily panic attacks, Aya had one so bad she lost the feeling in her limbs and fainted from hyperventilating so much her blood pressure dropped. Then, her parents relented. She was allowed to finish highschool at home, keeping in touch with the friends she’d made to prevent her complete social withdrawal. 

Since, things went back to being more peaceful. She graduated highschool and got a place at Indiana University Northwest, allowing her to attend university without having to move out. There she’s started to take solid steps with her social anxiety- attending classes in person again was already a big move for her. She’s ended up majoring in Biochemistry, and is almost done with her degree. From there she can actually see a future. Sure, she still really struggles with anxiety, but she’s been slowly improving. 

Until suddenly she woke up in Kindle, in a body that wasn’t her own with another voice in her head.

[indent][color=757abd][b]TYPE  ⫻[/b][/color] Aberration (Adjoined)

[color=757abd][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] The Storm of Pandemonium. The ability to create and control a variety of chaos causing storms.

[color=757abd][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION  ⫻[/b][/color] 
[indent]Pandemonium is an Apparition born from the Linebreaker event itself. A soul forced from her original body into the body of Alannah along with Ayesha’s soul, it was Ayesha who ‘won’ residency within the new body thanks to it being her counterpart. Without a true body, the other soul became an Apparition. Pandemonium remembers snippets of her old life, even if she doesn’t retain her name and identity. But more than that she remembers when she lost her body. The confusion, rage, and then resentment towards Ayesha who has it. 

As a result, Pan doesn’t allow Aya free use of her abstraction. It’s used in two ways: Pan comes out of the body to freely use it as an Adjoined Apparition, or Pan is allowed some control of the body to use it. 

Pan’s abstraction allows them to create and control various aspects of a storm in the vicinity around them. The abstraction always starts with looming grey clouds in a radius of up to fifty metres around them. However, the further spread the storm is, the less powerful it is. The tightest that can make it is a ten metre radius around them, where it’s at its most powerful. Generally, when Pan uses her abstraction she can only use one of the three aspects of it.

[color=757abd][b]Winds of Resentment  ⫻[/b][/color] Pan creates gusting winds with the ability to sweep people off their feet. These winds can be targeted, with strong gales hitting specific targets to throw them in the air, or be over a more general area where everything within- friend or foe- is buffeted by almost hurricane speed gales.

[color=757abd][b]Thunder of Disorder  ⫻[/b][/color] Pan controls the storm clouds to clash together in loud crashes. Any who hear this will be disoriented and confused, only worsening the longer they listen. It addles the brain, making it difficult to think through it and causing crippling disorientation. People who listen long enough will struggle to know where they are, what they’re doing, and eventually who they are. Along with the mental effect, the loudness of the thunderclaps will cause harsh ringing in the ears and make it difficult to talk over.

[color=757abd][b]Bolts of Wrath  ⫻[/b][/color] Pan summons lightning bolts from the clouds above to strike at enemies. However, the control over this is shaky and dependent on her emotional state. The angrier she is the more powerful the lightning bolts get, but the less controllable they are. They can become [i]completely[/i] random if her [i]or[/i] Aya’s mental state is bad. 

[color=757abd][b]The Storm of Pandemonium  ⫻[/b][/color] The all in version of Pan’s abstraction, where she combines all three aspects at once. Heavy gales followed by disorienting thunder and burning lightning bolts. It’s powerful, but at the heavy cost of draining Pan’s energy to the point she can only maintain it for ten minutes. Then, afterwards, she will need to withdraw into Aya’s body- leaving both of them vulnerable and Abstractionless for a day or more. This is incredibly taxing on Aya too, leaving her drained and exhausted afterwards.[/indent]

[color=757abd][b]LIMITS  ⫻[/b][/color] 
[indent]Right now, both Pan and Aya are new to the magical world. Pan is a baby Apparition with great potential power but very little control. Along with this, the tension between the two of them makes using the Abstraction harder. Ideally, Pan would grant it to Aya and use it through her… But that just isn’t possible right now. 

If Aya lets Pan use her body, it causes great damage to her. But if Pan uses it herself from outside Aya, she is both vulnerable and her magic source easily drained. Until they learn to work together, they’ll never reach their true potential.

Pan can only use their abstraction for thirty minutes to an hour before needing at least a two hour rest. Whether it’s the shorter or higher amount of time depends on their mental state and Aya’s. It’s taxing on the body and mind, and Aya isn’t entirely immune to the effects of the storm. Pan can only use one aspect at a time unless really pushed, and using all three can be devastating to the two of them as well as their surroundings. 

As mentioned above, it can be done in a radius of up to fifty metres where it’s at its weakest. The closest it can be done is in a ten metre radius around them. 

[color=757abd][b]Winds of Resentment  ⫻[/b][/color] This can knock over objects as heavy as a car in targeted blasts, and less when untargeted. Pan can’t buffet the entire radius with anything more than light, almost aesthetic, winds while targeting with it. 

[color=757abd][b]Thunder of Disorder  ⫻[/b][/color] People with Emotional Fields are resistant to the mental effects of the thunder. While it can cause ear pain and ringing, it can’t cause permanent damage.

[color=757abd][b]Bolts of Wrath  ⫻[/b][/color] The lightning bolts are the most uncontrollable aspect, even if the strongest in terms of raw power. They’re just as likely to harm as they are help, and there’s a real risk Pan will strike Aya with them.[/indent]

[color=757abd][b]WEAKNESSES  ⫻[/b][/color] Because Pan and Aya are constantly arguing for control, any outside mental influence ( psychic/emotional attacks, etc) can spike the dissonance between them. This can cause a total shutdown of the Abstraction mid-use as they both mentally spiral. When Pan is outside of Aya’s body to use the Abstraction, her Apparition form is physically tangible and vulnerable. A single well-placed strike can either dissipate her entirely or force her to retreat. This will disable the Abstraction until Pan heals. Suppose an enemy force Pan or Ayesha into high emotional stress. In that case, her Bolts of Wrath become completely erratic — making her more likely to electrocute herself, Aya, or allies than her target. The longer the fight drags, the weaker she gets. An enemy who fights defensively, stalls her, or forces her to waste energy can exhaust her to the point of complete incapacitation within minutes. If Pan uses the full Storm of Pandemonium, both Pan and Aya are left completely drained and without powers for a day.

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Pandemonium was originally a woman called Penelope Fisher from the world of Shadow. Penelope was a fiery woman who pushed through a great deal of hardships to really make herself a life worth living. Someone full of spirit and potential… Until the Linebreaker event, where her soul was torn out of its body. In the mess, her soul went into the body of Alannah along with Ayesha’s. The Apparition Pandemonium was born from the result, where Penelope was almost extinguished by the event and no longer having a body. 

Pan didn’t purposefully adjoin to Aya. She’s a baby Apparition with little knowledge about magic or how her own existence is possible. As far as she’s aware, the two need to remain attached. She’s retained her sassy, brash personality- but with much harsher anger and resentment to go with it. She’s resentful of Aya, even though Aya has been torn from her normal life just as much as Pan was. Pan has fragments of memories from when she was Penelope, but doesn’t actually remember her name or who she truly was. 

Unlike a lot of Adjoined Apparitions, Pan spends a lot of time outside of Aya’s body - although severely restricted in terms of how far she can travel. Really, she only goes in to rest.
