Name: Mylene Achterkamp
Age: 18
Gifted?: No
Skills: Martial Artist - Although Mylene may not look it, she's actually an extremely skilled martial artist, trained in Wing Chun and Aikido. Some tend to mistake her for a Power-user due to her fighting ability, however this isn't the case. Because of her participation in MMA competitions, she's still learning different styles.
Photography - Because of Mylene's skills in combat, she's able to react to fast moving objects. Thus she is able to capture amazing images that most people would miss.
Cooking - Mylene is a pretty good home cook, and she tends to cook her own meals rather than buy them from stores or cafeterias. Her reasoning being,
"I can put what I like in my meal, whenever."College studies:Major: Photography is Mylene's chosen course of study. She's always enjoy capturing images of various things, however her favourite subject to capture is high-speed movement as she feels that capturing these moments only come once in a lifetime. Attends a lot of martial arts tournaments as an amateur photographer to add to her portfolio.
Minor: Dance is something that Mylene had always wanted to try. She enjoys the idea of freeformed expression through movement, but she's also quite interested in forms like Capoeira. Dancing martial arts? Now that sounds really interesting.
Appearance: (Refer to image)
Mylene stands at around 5'7" with an athletic physique
(and a b-cup). She has long dark purple-dyed hair, her natural hair colour being black. She usually ties it in a low ponytail or leaves it untied. Mylene likes to wear coloured contacts that make her eyes look purple, to match her hair. Her natural eye colour is actually a hazel brown. Her skin is quite fair with a few freckles on her face. She often wears a grey beanie, a black t-shirt (Depending on the weather, she'll also wear a washed out blue hoodie and a green scarf), a pair of plain jeans and a pair of converse shoes.
She almost always has a DSLR camera hanging from her neck.
Backstory: As the daughter of two well known martial artists, Mylene was born to be a martial artist as well. Her father was a Wing Chun Shifu and her mother was an Aikido sensei. Fortunately they didn't argue about whose martial art was better, rather they decided to teach their daughter both styles simultaneously. During her childhood, she spent most of her time in the dojo practising among her peers, however many of the other students didn't enjoy sparring with her, because she would often use both Aikido and Wing Chun during the match, giving her an advantage in terms of flexibility. Not to mention the fact that she was becoming somewhat of a prodigy in martial arts.
Despite her high aptitude for the combat arts, Mylene struggled to make friends at school and in the dojo. Her parents reputation and her skills created an 'untouchable' atmosphere around her, which caused many to hesitate when she approached them. During her highschool days, many people started picking fights with her due to her background, hoping they could brag about beating Mylene in a fight. Thus Mylene's win streak became the topic of gossip, which didn't help her 'friend situation'. However there was one person who approached her who wasn't afraid of Mylene. Someone who was willing to get to know the person behind the crazy martial arts. That person became her best friend, but also her only friend.
What was discovered by he newfound bestfriend, was that Mylene was a kind and caring person. Someone with a personality that would fool most into thinking that she wasn't actually a martial artist at all.
Mylene was able to get into Beacon University via a scholarship after being urged to enter numerous MMA competitions during her highschool days, despite how unorthodox her styles are.
