Name: Marabel 'Marble' Bébé Johnson
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Basic Information
Appearance:
She looks a bit younger than 14, but she's hoping that soon she'll grow out of her scrawny limbs and round cheeks. She also a bit shorter than she'd like, standing at 5'1". Marabel has a very thin look to her, much like her mother did. Despite that, she's soon to hit a growth spurt. She has dreadlocks that are lightened at the end, and often pulled into low buns by scrunchies. She likes to pull a couple across her forehead because she believes her forehead is too large.
Marabel always has a far-off look in her eyes, unfocussed and shifty. She was born with withdraws from her mother's heroin addiction, then a lifetime of physical pain altered her neutral expression to look slightly haunted. She's missing a canine tooth, knocked out in the recent years.
Despite her super power, she has no scars on her body, as her wounds tend to heal rather seamlessly, even if it takes a while.
Marabel prefers to dress in warm colors, in mismatched and clashing colors, and baggy jackets.
Personality:
-Quiet
-Curious
-Honest
-Untactful
-Indelicate
-Highly Emotional
-Confrontational
-Melancholy
-Sadistic
-Self Abusive
-Short sighted
Marabel can be very standoffish. She is not the kindest of people, and tends to be very blunt and sometimes confrontational. She's absolutely and utterly scared of authority, and anyone she can't consider a peer. Marabel is insecure and highly self-critical, even if she doesn't show too many signs of it. Anytime something goes wrong, she will often silently blame herself for any wrongdoings, be it her own or that of other people. She can be violent when provoked, without knowing much how to talk it out.
Backstory: In zone 6 of Atlanta, GA, more specifically, Bouldercrest RD, a baby is born, screaming and crying and shaking with an addiction passed to her without her permission, and Lyme Disease threatening her newborn life. Child of two non-superpowered parents, who happened to be junkies, Marabel 'Marble' Johnson was often unsupervised, and left to fend to herself. She even took to taking care of her parents, more specifically, her mother who she cared for more than her father.
She first discovered she had superpowers in preschool. The teacher had made a comment about her 'ratty' hair, so in response, Marabel simply glared at her and clenched her fist so tightly that she drew blood. Surprised by the teacher's sharp cry of pain, Marabel looked to her own hands to find her palms free of wound, despite a terrible pain there from where her nails had bit into her skin. Her teacher however, was bleeding deeply where tiny child's nails.
Since that point on, she used her powers for less than good reasons until she got arrested by a task force meant to contain super-powered individuals. She was 8 when she was arrested. She managed to get a rather short sentence of 2 years, despite maliciously wounding a reported 39 people. She has not changed much, but she tends not to use her powers as flamboyantly as she did before.
A few short months after that, her parents died of mysterious wounds. Though there is no evidence of Marabel having caused their deaths, those who knew she was a super blamed her and even broke into her house with intent to harm her. Luckily, she hadn't been home at the time, she had been in the custody of a social worker. After that incident, it was decided by Marabel's case worker that she would need to attend a school that could teach her how to not only handle her powers, but could hopefully improve her attitude and violent tendencies.
Though it is something of speculation, Marabel believes her parents died never knowing of her super powers, though she does not believe they would have acted on the knowledge, nor spend time, money, or effort to get her a proper education on her own super powers.
Other Skills:
- Lockpicking (she often doesn't, but she would occasionally come home to a locked door, since her parents would get high and forget to keep it unlocked for her, so she picked up this skill rather quickly after the first few times of sleeping outside of the door)
- Drawing (she isn't incredibly good, but she loves to draw, and improves often)
- Whistling (she's very good at whistling tunes, and takes great pride in it)
Power Set
Name: Human Voodoo Doll
Abilities: Marabel has the ability to inflict both pain and wounds onto other people by inflicting damage to her body. When harming others, her own wounds will heal rather quickly, but that only happens if she pushes the wound onto someone else. She discovered this at a young age, and used it often and rapidly, sometimes just for fun, so she has an incredibly high pain tolerance. Anything short of 3rd degree burns can make her flinch, but wouldn't subdue her.
Weaknesses: If she cannot see her victim, she cannot hurt them. Her power relies heavily on her ability to see her victim in pain, and she is not very skilled at using her mind to visualize people. Her power also causes her whatever pain she inflicts to another, and randomly, this pain can double for herself (she has no way of knowing when this will happen, and does not know why it happens). Not to mention, should she harm herself without intent to transfer or become wounded by another, the wound will not heal until pushed off onto another person. On top of that, she's very emotional and not educated on how to handle it.
Other:
Marabel got her nickname 'Marble' from her vast collection of marbles. She likes to look at the world through them, especially the glittery or lightly tinted marbles. She imagines tiny worlds inside of them, tiny worlds that she can live in without the struggles of her own life, or her own faults.
