Appearance:
Name: Edith Rendel (Goes by Sarah Hardt)
Age: 89 (appears 17)
Gender: Female
Skills: Sewing, organizing, first aid, welding, and boxing (rusty).
Power: Localized time manipulation.
-Abilities Strengths: Edith is able to create pockets where time is displaced within a 2 yard radius. As time naturally progresses forward it is easiest to speed it up or slow it down. The limit of which appears to be a factor of 1000. While rolling back time within the displacement is possible she has no cognitive ability to make it happen at will. The single example being the unwitting regression of her own age which was at a much higher rate than any of her other abilities.
-Abilities Weaknesses: Only a single area of displacement is possible at a time. If there are multiple targets but they are not close enough to each other then only one will be able to be affected. She is also not immune to the effects should she manage to be in the field at the time. Use of her abilities seems to take a toll on her mind and liberal use requires sleep to recuperate. Overextending can lead her to pass out on the spot.
What gave you your power?: Being 89 years old with failing health it's hard not to think about all the missed opportunities. Not ready to die Edith wished she could just turn back the clock before her time was up. She just wanted more time. Thus her ability is motivated by self preservation, primarily fear.
Personality: To some extent she is having to find this out herself. A second chance at life means she can be an entirely different person. Still she does tend to act more mature that most would expect and can come off as bossy or a know it all. But that is to be expected when she is dismissed as a teenager.
Bio: Edith has quite a few stories to tell. Most of them she keeps to herself nowadays for obvious reasons. She would either be found out or considered crazy. But on a rare occasion she might tell you of the factory she worked at Post-WWII, or some of the less interesting secetary work. She's had the chance to do a lot.
But for the past several years Edith did not do much of anything. She was retired and in a nursing home enjoying what life she had left to live. However being as old as she was meant that her health was waning. On more than one occasion she had to go to the hospital for medical treatment. It was during one of these visits that she contemplated death and wished it didn't have to end. Going to sleep was normal enough but waking to find herself young again was a shock to be sure.
Managing to find something for clothes she left without anyone really bothering her. As far as anyone knows Edith Rendel simply vanished from the hospital without a trace. It didn't take long for Edith to figure out what the government was up to from the "news report." So she dressed the part and tried to stay low. Thankfully her new ability was more subtle than some of the others. But she still had to be careful because she still didn't quite understand it fully.
