"Behold! The Handfork of Truth!"
Name: Latia Thrasher
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Mutation: Latia can change the molecules in her skin to mach any solid material (stone, mineral, wood, plastic, cloth, etc.). Though extremely protective and useful in many things, Latia isn't always spot on with the molecule compounds, and sometimes creates - accidently, of course - chinks in her armor or even entirely different materials.
Appearance: Her hair is a brownish-auburn that she keeps in a messy bun, and she has big, round eyes that are a darker brown. She stands at about 5'5" and her build is slender with slight curves; however, she has great cardio strength and above-average muscle strength. Her complexion, when in normal skin form, is pale and she has a few freckles crossing from her inner cheekbones and over her nose. Her overall look is sometimes described as "dainty'.
Abilities: The various materials she can transform her skin into act as a shield, camoflauge, flammable striker, and sometimes even parchment to draw on (mostly for fun, sometimes for strategizing, sometimes to read sheet music).
Non-mutational Skills: Plays piano, handy with knives, good for shuffling cards, knows basic and some advanced martial arts (taught to her by her father)
Personality: A woman of few words, Latia is thought to be shy and a 'follower'. However, though not a genius like some of her peers, her mind is always churning with thoughts, conversation, and her own, set-in-stone ideals and morals. As a child, Latia depended heavily on her father, who was closer to her than her mother ever was. As a result, she is extremely projective of her father's outlook on the world - to speak rarely, work hard, and gain acceptance from the people around her at all costs. A silent, side-kick like demeanor makes her the target of many arguments when it comes to choosing sides. Her friends, though few, described her as "deep-thinking and opinionated. Loyal."
Goals: Her father, though a man of few words, told Latia many stories as a child that consisted of what the outside world was like: a harsh, cruel place so unlike The Island that she grew up on. She wants to prove her father wrong, because, though she sides on most everything with him, she refuses to believe that there is such evil in the world.
Fears/Weaknesses: Her lack of practice with her mutation makes it difficult to use at times. She is also deathly afraid of heights, and she makes poor decisions under pressure. Her intrapersonal demeanor makes her susceptible to "spacing-out".
Backstory/Extra stuff: Latia grew up in a rather middle-class home, raised by her father and neglected by her workaholic mother. She developed a skill for playing paino at age seven, and was considered a prodigy among her peers. At age 8, Latia grew to crave stories from her father about the world outside The Island, and would often compose piano works about such stories. Though she was in love with the piano, she was also enrolled in a martial-arts studio (via her mother). Her talents in this area were never very exceptional until her father began teaching her in private of his own style and moves. Although she improved greatly at martial-arts through him, Latia continued to follow the path of the pianest, eventually landing herself a performing job in one of the great concert halls of The Island at age 16. Soon after her career began, her father died in a freak car accident, rendering the upcoming performer rather mute and inexpressive. However, she continued her career, into her late teens and eventually her twenties, until the offer of leaving the Island reached her in the form of a little white envelope.
