Personality: Ava is strangely calm all of the time. She always talks with a relaxed voice and her body language mimics this. Her muscles never seem tense and her eyes have a slight cloud to them that makes it seem like she might not always be 'there'. Ava also doesn't get stressed out or scared easily. She is also extremely respectful. If you are older then her then she will listen to anything you say and will do anything you ask her to. Also, like most other children, Ava loves to talk to other people. She can make a conversation out of almost anything, however this sometimes comes as a bad thing since she doesn't understand when she needs to be quiet. She also had the tendency to turn things into games, maybe as a way of dealing with fear and stress. 

On rare occasions Ava sometimes falls into tantrums. These are seemingly random, one time she might be able to deal with something but the next time it might set her off. For instance, getting slapped might not seem to effect her while stubbing her toe might cause her to scream and cry.

Skills: Does being a totally adorable child count as a skill? Hey, getting on peoples good sides is useful in prison. She also is relatively good at running, jumping and climbing, but she is no master of these. Her senses are rather advanced, so I guess you could add 'really good at eavesdropping' to her list of skills. 

Abilities: [hider=I'll keep this in a hider because it's kinda long]Think: Small, rapid, furry hulk. When Ava is in danger, or if the circumstances call for it, her body undergoes a transformation since her 'fight' is might stronger then her 'flight' drive. This transformation pretty much turns Ava into a beast. Her fingernails and teeth become long and pointed, her back hunches forward as she runs on her four limbs. Her vocalizations become snarls and growls and body becomes stronger and faster. In this form her strength and agility increases. It's extremely hard to calm her down out of this rage, and it usually best to just let herself exhaust herself out of it.

This isn't without it's own weaknesses however, and I would like to state them out front to avoid being over powered. Whenever her brain shifts over into beast mode, her body tends to focus on things like running away or punching whatever is in her way, not so much higher level thinking. Whenever Ava's body goes through its transformation, her intelligence will drop drastically. This isn't permanent by any means-rather, it's just she'll be operating off panic and instinct rather than reason and logic. Furthermore, her short-term memory will not be working as clearly, so her memory of what happened shortly before the transformation and what occurred during the transformation will be fuzzy. Finally, similar to growing pains, shifting into a big fuzzy ball of death will cause her to have some residual pain and soreness after wards, along with some pretty heavy fatigue. Maintaining the hyper-metabolism of her furry form for longer than fifteenish minutes (without practice) will be difficult as well-if she fatigues in her beast form, she'll just revert back to a totes adorb little girl.[/hider]

Brief Backstory: How much of a bio can a eleven year old have? Going along with this, Belle cannot remember much about her life before her powers began to expose. From a young age Belle had been told to keep her powers under control by keeping her emotions always in check. This kept her from going to school like other kids, and kept her away from making relationships with other people other then her parents. Belle often felt guilty about her powers, she made her parents fear her unintentionally. Anything could set her off into a deadly rage. There were times when Belle suddenly woke up to her parents huddling in a locked bedroom, trying to keep Belle out. 

Soon the family began to receive threats from neighbors, calling Ava a beast and a monster. All in all, Ava was never given a strong foundation of anything as a kid, except for a strong survival sense, which has lead to her being weak academically. She can do only the simplest reading, writing and mathematics. Ava eventually grew tired of her the constant fear. She even feared herself. She decided the only thing left to do was to run away from home. Ava doesn't consider her a superhero of any sort, because of her weak grasp on her powers.
