Basic Information
Name:
Serena Jones
Age:
14
Gender:
Female
Appearance & Attire:
At first glance you'd easily mistake Serena for a boy, she doesn't really look feminine in the least no matter which angle you look at her from. She is 5'3 and 85 lbs, she sports an athletic build that has hints of muscle tone thanks to her ability. She is without a doubt a full blooded American hailing from Florida, she also has the slight tan to prove it. She has a slight southern accent and dresses like a tomboy. Her fashion consists of caps to cover her ears up, jeans, and t-shirts with sneakers. She mostly wears blue or orange, those being her favorite colors. She is typical seen carrying around a small dark orange rucksack filled with beef jerky, slim jims, and the like. Of which she is usually seen eating.
Her brown hair is cut relatively short in jagged layers, it hangs to about the bottom of her neck. On the top of her head on either side she sports short pointed cat ears, a side effect of her first attempt at shifting into her lion form, she has yet to figure out how to remove them. She usually wears her bangs over her right eye.
She has dark green almond shaped eyes, her pupils are slit like a predatory cats, and a rounded face. Her nose is rounded and rather small, possibly too small, and it tilts up ever so slightly into a tip. Her lips are rather thin and her ears are rounded and fairly small.
She has extremely sharp teeth, more prominently pronounced are her canines, that are built for tearing meat from bone just like a lions are. I don't reccommend putting fingers near her mouth if she is hungry.

Skills/Talents:
Street fighting, and she's pretty good at it, at least she thinks so.
She is also incredibly agile and nimble, able to outlast most people in the stamina department.

Brief Backstory:
Ever since she could walk she was definetely a tomboy, whereas other girls her age including her sister would rather sit inside and play with dolls, she was often seen outside climbing trees or rough-housing with her two brothers or the neighbors..and winning. She was always stronger than other kids her age and even those a bit older than her, no one was sure why or how and simply passed it off as part of her 'active lifestyle'. Her powers awakened noticeably when she was 9 and suddenly grew extremely sharp feline-esque claws and nearly accidentally maimed her older brother. She wasn't really sure what happened, nor did she know how to control it, but she did find it kinda cool despite harming her brother.
Nothing was done and she wasn't really blamed, it was common for accidents to happen when a metahumans powers revealed themselves. Instead she was simply told to be more careful from then on and try not to get into so many fights. Yea, because that would ever happen...If anything she used it to her advantage and eventually learned how to partially control her powers over the next five years. She found not only was she stronger than most other people her age and some older, she could hear, smell, and see better. As she practiced her powers more her eyes took on the characteristics of that of a predators, wherein the pupils were slit.
Eventually, however, the use of her powers was taken notice from NEST and her parents were instructed to send her to Academy 218 before she got too out of hand. Her parents sadly agreed that it was what was best for their daughter.

Power Information
Power Class:
Super System: Biological
Power:
Serena takes the whole 'heart of a lion' thing a bit too literally. She is, more or less, a humanoid lion with the ability to shift into one, her extra set of ears are proof of such.
Lion Shifter
Exactly as it says on the tin but partially more complicated. No, she is not technically a were-lion, though in theory it's the same concept. She is, without a doubt, still mortal as well. She is able to shift her own nails into extremely sharp feline-esque claws that are able to slice up skin fairly easily, she has learned to be able to do this at will and the change takes little more than a few seconds.
She is also decently strong, able to lift roughly 145 lbs easily, as well as durable. It'll take more than a simple punch or two to knock her out or put her out of the fight. That said, knives and bullets effect her just as much as anyone else. Further describing her bite, she can bit down on anything she can fit her mouth around at 650 psi just like a lion. Seriously, don't put your fingers near her mouth when she is hungry.
Her senses are heightened far beyond that of a normal human, allowing her to see almost perfectly in the dark, have a heightened sense of smell and hearing, as well as having a heightened spatial and kinetic sense.
She is also decently fast, outpacing most humans, meta's that specialize in speed however are much faster. Her main ability, that she chooses to use as least often as possible, is the ability to turn into a full grown lion. This only further enhances her fighting ability, it grants no added benefits beyond being as strong and as fast as a lion.

Limits:
This is more of a self imposed drawback than anything, Serena makes an effort to fully transform as least as possible due to the sheer amount of pain felt afterwards when she reverts to human form. Not to mention having to buy new clothes is annoying.
Shifting is not instantaneous, it takes roughly 20 seconds to shift into a lion and one minute to shift back into a human.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
Despite being durable, Serena is not on par with Superman by far. While, she will take more blows than the average kid her age and some average people, she is still a kid with a small frame. She will go down fairly easily, and go down hard.
She is extremely vulnerable for several minutes after shifting back into human form from the sheer amount of pain felt from her bones breaking and reforming themselves back to her human frame.
She is, of course, limited to close quarters combat unless of course she manages to get her grubby little paws on a ranged weapon. In that case, shit gets real...most likely for her as she has never fired a gun.

Other
- She is without any doubt a tomboy, no pretty dresses and short skirts for her. She is rude, sarcastic, and condescending. She is always looking for a fight and will gladly challenge anyone despite their age, she enjoys it. If you're lucky to get on her good side, you'll find she can actually be nice when she wants to, even though she doesn't show it initially at first. She is also extremely rebellious and has a hard time following orders or rules, she feels they only apply to the 'normal' people.
