Name: Naka Vejay 
Codename: Element 
Age: 18 
Place of Birth: Sibiu, Romania 
Occupation: Troublemaker 
Family: Uncle Boamos and Aunt Analetta 
Relationship Status: TBD
Mutant Ability: Naka has the unique ability to harness the elements around her, her main strength coming in the element of earth. She can coax plants and trees from the earth on short notice and very quickly. The vines can be used to incapacitate or as a tool to reach enemies or places high up. Most of her abilities fall into the realm of earth. When under a great deal of stress (ex: life/ death situation) she can be called upon to cause a crack in the earth, but once this is done, she would be out for the rest of the fight. Because most of her powers are plant based, Naka herself is like a plant. If denied water, sunlight and fresh air, she can die. 

Personality and History: Naka is a party kid, it comes from not wanting to be home. As a baby Naka's mother abandoned her to her extended gypsy family. Her aunt and uncle took her in and soon after moved to the US to have a better life for their adopted child. Naka can a be a bit of a wild child. She likes to get her way and usually has the wiles and guts to pull it off. Her abilities didn't surface until she was around 13, and when they did, she was horrified. Her aunt and uncle told her to hide it, to suppress the feelings and want to be outside and growing things. So, Naka changed almost over night. She became a raver girl, going out to clubs, sneaking out her window and drinking away the urges. This worked well for her until she was 17 and her adoptive parents kicked her out of the house after finding a stash of illegal drugs and empty liquor bottles in her room. Since then Naka's been using her street smarts to keep herself safe and alive. When she was just a few weeks from her 18th birthday, a guy who she sold some drugs to had told her about the institute, and Naka vowed she wouldn't go there unless absolutely needed. A fight ensued on the night before her birthday, leaving a bruised and bloody Naka to try and find somewhere safe to hide, it seemed a few of her clients had a problem with the strength of the items she was supplying them. Naka gave almost as good as she got, using her abilities to escape, she knew she had no choice but to seek safety at this 'mutant haven' at least until she was healed.

Extra: Naka is usually the life of the party type and tends to be the one who people go to when they want illegal substances.
