Myriam Riley Cassedy
AppearanceMyriam stands at 1, 53m / almost perfectly 5 feet and is therefor considered petite. She weights 55kg / ca. 121 lbs and has a sporty figure. She doesn't really have a lot of strength and does't show a lof of muscles, though her stomach is nicely toned. Her skin is not exactly pale, but stays a light white tone. She is rather to get sunburnt than catch a tan in summer.
Her hair is naturally blonde, but gets often mistaken for dyed due to her darker roots that make her seem to have naturally brown hair. Myriam's eyes are blue-green and though mostly being described as blue or green, the light can make them look beige-ish too at times.
Her breasts are a decent B cup and rather perky.

PowerMind ControlMyriam's power is easily described as mind control, although it is a lot more complicated than "I say jump, you ask how high". Her ability in using the power is so small, it's barely there. Her power has only unleashed once in her lifetime so far.
At the moment the only time she will be able to use it, is when in great, deeply fear. If she then uses her words to beg someone for something, it will most likely happen. Though the state of someone else doing as she says will only hold on for a few seconds, it might be enough to give her a chance to flee the situation that put her in such horror.
A downside of the power is that she has to be careful what words she uses. At the momental state it's not a necessity since she doesn't know how to use her power anyway. But once unleashed, her power works freely and cannot be blocked out. Meaning if she is angry and yells "fuck yourself", exactly that will happen. She will have to choose her words very wisely once her power breaks through completely. If she would tell someone to "just go and have fun", they will not stop having fun until either death comes along and reprieves them or the effect of the mind control will end (length of mind control effect will change over the time).
The power only works when her words reach the other person's ears directly. It does not work over any kind of speaker, telephone or through a thin wall or door, ect. However, given that she cannot control the power anyway, that is her least problem at the moment.
PersonalityMyriam is a very kind person and was very open and happy until the incident happened. However, now her personality has changed. The following is how she is now, after the traumatising experience.
Myriam likes to stay quiet and observe instead of getting into the conversation herself. She doesn't like to be touched out of nowhere, she has to be able to
see when someone wants to give her a hug or touch her arm or take her hand in order to
prepare for the feeling. The girl is very scared of loud, sudden noises and will shrink together when hearing any unprepared loud noise.
She loves animals and little kids, always wanted to be a mother herself but now not so sure about anything anymore. Any animal is holy to her and she will not harm them, but rather take it outside the house if possible. She is not afraid of any kind of animal and would gladly own a pair of every animal on the planet - yes even the dangerous and toxic onces. The best way to her heart is probably over an animal.
HistoryMyriam Riley Cassedy grew up as an only child. She had a healthy social life, was doing alright in school and had fun at playing baseball and voleyball. She was a cheerleader in High School and looking forward to her graduation and college years. And then something changed her life completely.
At a dark, rainy night her father sneaked into her room and what happened had put her into a state of incredible fear and horror that had set free her power for the first and last time in her life. She screamed for him to stop several times and when his actions completely froze, she allowed herself to look at him. Horror was on his face as he couldn't move anymore. The girl pushed him off her, running for her dear life. She didn't understand what had happened and certainly did not know that she had
forced him to do what she said.
Not wanting to talk about what had happened, she did not dare to go to one of her friends' houses. Especially since she was scared he'd show up there to collect her and bring her home. So she ran and ran until no more breath was in her, collapsed at a train station far away from home and fell asleep in a corner, too tired to make one single thought anymore.
The next time she woke up, she had no idea how much time had passed and if she slept a few hours or a few days - could have easily been both-, but she knew that she definitely did not fall asleep here. She found herself in
the room.
ExtraShe can handle a shotgun, but has never shot at anything living, only cans and glass bottles.
