Arabella Finch

Ara or Bella

Female

16

"I am very shy and kind. I can never say a bad thing about anyone. I love helping people and I will do everything I can to make them smile. I have never had a boyfriend or love interest before in my life so I am very innocent about a lot of things. I don't judge people and I can always see the good in people. If someone confides in me or tells me a secret I will take it to my grave so I guess you can say I can be very reliable. I am also honest. Even if it's something bad, I will not lie to someone, even though I will hate myself for hurting them with the truth. I can be really oblivious about a lot of things, especially when it comes to love/flirting. I guess you could also say I trust way too easily. I also get embarrassed and flustered way too easily. I can be very insecure about myself and my body and i tend to second-guess myself a lot. I can become upset very easily and am very sensitive. I can also be very clumsy and tend to trip over my own feet a lot."

When her parents found out they were going to have a second child they were worried about the risk of the unborn baby developing powers. Her mother wanted to have an abortion, claiming she didn't want some freak as a child but her father eventually talked her out of it, that there was a possibility that their baby would be normal. Arabella was born and aside from her unusual snow white hair and ice blue eyes that seemed to glow slightly she was a perfectly normal baby. The years past and her parents worry slipped to the back of their mind. That was until Arabella's 5th birthday. The day had started normal enough but at one point Arabella's older brother was tormenting her, having taken away her favorite stuffed animal and dangling it out of reach. Arabella cried for her brother to give it back but when he didn't she tried to grab his hand. Blue sparks flew from her hands and when they touched her brothers skin he screamed and stumbled back from her, ice forming on his arm. Her parents were horrified, they nightmare having come true. From then on they treated Arabella like she was a leaper and when they weren't avoiding her they treated her like a slave. This went on for 11 years before her mother finally kicked Arabella out, her parting words being "that thing is not my daughter."

Controls Ice/Snow/any freezing weather

~Her power is influenced by her emotions so she has a hard time controlling it.
~Arabella is very easily prone to panic attacks, which can be triggered by a number of things: Loud or sudden noises, thunderstorms, the dark, heights, being grabbed suddenly, and dolls.
A pendant that she refuses to take off:

[KatherinWinter]

I like her approved

[XxLyraxX]

yay ^^

[KatherinWinter]

Need ideas on where you want you're characters strength to be or better yet career choices.

[XxLyraxX]

What job options are there for a girl who makes ice and snow?

[KatherinWinter]

Your power can have as little or as much effect on the on choice as you want./.
She could create her own ice cream line :) really I don't think you need to take the powers into consideration.

[XxLyraxX]

meh, I like the ice sculpture idea actually xD

[Tarantulass]

If everything else fails, join the circus.

Nah, but as serious talk, she would have not that impressive records. Probably something that would require getting into tough places. Engineering, construction work, cabling, painting, there's quite a few of these.

[Paint]

Still open to new character?

[KatherinWinter]

yes :)

[Paint]

Alrighty. c: I'll get to work on one then. I'll hop in when accepted.

[KatherinWinter]

sounds good

Name: Adelaide De LaBassiese

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Abilities: Poison Manipulation; Adelaide posses the power to secrete toxins and poisons from her pores. She can create large quantities in an either liquid or vapor form. Different poisons can be produced for different effects, ranging from pain, paralysis, or even death if exposed to large amounts. The effects can be cured through either Adelaide's blood or saliva, but lesser poisons (such as ones to simply cause pain) will fade on their own.

Personality: Adelaide is moody and loud. She expresses her opinion openly, at the dismay of others, and lacks enough empathy to bother with common courtesy. While it appears she's lost track of her moral compass, she does show empathy in situations she deems worthy. Her ego is quite large and she has trouble getting along with normal people. This, along with her drinking habits, make it hard for her to live outside the orphanage. In a good mood she's mischievous and enjoys bothering people, in a bad mood she's withdrawn and snappy.

[KatherinWinter]

Looks good except at 21 why does she need the orphanage? The idea is for the orphanage to be a safe have for those with powers who are abused, have no control of their powers, or have been throw out because of their powers. I'm not sure which your character fits in.

[Paint]

She's not ready for the outside world. Her personality doesn't fair well with normal people and her substance abuse makes it hard if not impossible to get a job. She can't go anywhere else.
Kind of like a kid who'd stay with their parents, except she has no parents so this is her only option.

Not to mention her temperament combined with her possibly deadly ability make her a danger to the general public.

[KatherinWinter]

Hmmm... It'll be interesting to see how she fits in. But I'm not sure how the orphanage will help her but I'll work on a few ideas. Accepted.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

I know it's already started, but can I join in?

[KatherinWinter]

Sure its still very early

[Nicias Askani]

can i make a character that works at the orphanage or would you prefer a child like the rest? either way i'm interested

[KatherinWinter]

Either is fine. But a teacher or worker would be awesome.
