Chandra Ann Smith

Nightmare Child

Sixteen

Chandra has the ability to make nightmare constructs from her mind. She creates these constructs by willing them into existence after which they will only disappear if Chandra adsorbs them or if something destroys them. Her body is surrounded by the same energy she uses to make her constructs acting as an energy shield protecting her. To replenish her energy all she needs to do is sleep or absorb fear from someone by touching them.

Apart from her powers the only thing that Chandra excels in is art. Be it abstract or a portrait she can make something someone would want to hang on their wall.

Chandra's powers are very taxing causing her to become exhausted and after a while she can even pass out. Of course like most people the more tried she becomes the more prone she is to making mistakes. Chandra also needs to control her emotions and focus when using her powers and if she becomes distracted or is to emotional she won't be able make her constructs and all she will be doing is wasting energy.

There is a physic connection between Chandra and her constructs which could be severed. If such a thing happened her constructs would act like typical monsters destroying whatever they like and killing whoever they please. What would be worse is if someone took over the physic link with her creations putting them in control.

A beautiful scene unfolded in front of Chandra sitting on top of her parent's home as the sun set over the city skyline. No matter how many times she saw the sun set it was never the same and was always worth watching. Looking down she saw other kids her age all hanging out laughing probably at her for being so odd. Maybe if she spoke to them they might like her. However nothing came out of her mouth when she tried to speak and once again her shyness made her look like an idiot with her mouth hanging open. Letting out a disappointed sigh she climbed into her bedroom window to see a lovely bacon butty had been placed on her desk with a glass of lemonade.

It took her only a few minutes to finish her dinner as she had been staving clearly having lost track of time up on the roof for the millionth time. Turning her TV on she switched over to the horror channel so she could laugh at the pitiful monsters and the over the top actors. Curled up next to her was her favourite construct which she called Fluffy and she thought of him as a pet. It looked like a cross between a wolf and a porcupine and to her he was just beautiful. She sat in her room thinking about how she wasn't going to be here much longer and how she was going to be trained at Corrigan. She knew that she needed the training as last time she tried to be a hero things got a bit messy.

She spent the next few hours drawing possible superhero outfits unable to stop herself as she was in one of her musses. Some off them were weird and beyond the realms of practicality doomed to be forever a sketch kind of sad she thought. There were one or two that weren't bad but she just wasn't happy with them as something wasn't quite right but unable to identify the problem she almost chucked her book in frustration as she never wanted to leave one of her pieces unfinished. To calm herself down she did a few silly sketches of what she would like as different superhero sidekicks. Laughing as most of costumes she drew looked ridiculous especially the one were she was Superman's sidekick. However there was one that made her blush as she looked at the sketch of her as what she would like as Wonder Woman's sidekick. Chandra was always a very nervous of showing off too much of her body which is why she always wore clothes that covered up most of her body.
