PowerKate has a rather strange power, from a tattoo-ish marking on her back that she had since birth that depicts a howling wolf, her body produces a viscous black substance with properties similar to ink that flows in accordance with her heart rate and stress level, flowing and ultimateley enveloping her body with a vague shape of a bipedal wolf completely forged from the black liquid. When her 'ink form' is activated (usually triggered by high amounts of stress), her body acts as the core for the vague bipedal creature’s body and Kate herself looses control of what she does. She also is rendered unconcious each time the power is de-activated.
The ink body is about 12 inches around Kate's actual body, and the body still acts as a liquid and act as a conduit for electricity. The creature that is created as a result of her power acts with an animalistic instinct mixed with a personification of her anxiety in its mannerisms, seemingly perpetually anxious though not agressive initially unless something triggers it (through it's Anxiety, or in response to agression). The creature's main attack pattern tend to be along the lines of attempting to grapple and drown/incapacitate its quarry. However, if the creature takes a liking to a particular individual, it will act exceedingly 'clingy' and will not willingly leave that person's side.
Kate has no control over her power, if not at little at most, but outside sources have a variety of options in terms of rendering the creature immobile, unconcious, or dispelling the affect of her ability. High concentrations of light and/or heat causes the ink to slowly evaporate, eventually forcing Kate out of the Ink-Wolf state, this can also be acheived by dousing it with water. Electricity can also nullify the ink and render Kate unconcious.
Abilities & SkillsBasic/Improvised First-Aid, she is half-decent at making sure that somebody doesent die.

Appearance
Kate's usual appearance, before being brought to Sirocco, consisted of various combinations of solid-color shirts, light sweaters or hoodies, and either jeans or sweatpants depending on the day. Her skin is a light tan color, a small splattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose. Her hair is a deep mahogany brown, her waves cut just below her jaw. Kate's eyes are an olive green.
Personality
Empathetic-Timid-Quiet-Protective-Kind
Kate tends to have a more soft and cuddly attitude dispite her situation, often driven by the prospect that if she builds enough friendships then she might find someone that could help keep herself under control. However, she is scared of nearly everyone else in the prison, they all got into Sirocco for worse things than she did right?
Kate displays very empathetic behavior when interacting with others, sometimes even a little protective of those she had gotten to know. Dispite her usually quiet demeanor, she has no problem expressing herself to people around her once she has broken away from her perpetual anxiety and fear revolving around anything and everything within Sirocco's environment. She even gives small gifts to those she calls her friends and expresses a kindness that would genuinely be unheard of within a prison.
Background
Kate has always had it rough, ever since she was a kid. Growing up in a family of Mutes in the town of Portsmouth, and a rich one at that, her power and her lack of control causing her to be a stain on the family name. She wasn't able to be given a simple deadline to do assignments for the family company, Cadbury Brewing Company, without triggering her power from the stress, and thus removing her from the roster of a possible heir to the company leaving that responsibility to her sister Genevieve.
Kate was left on her own to her own devices when she was 19, by her own volition, attempting not to be a burden to her family, attempting to land a job but ultimately failing, her troublesome power was a ceaseless chaos that followed her wherever she went, a literal personification of her anxiety that turned her into a monster... That chaos had also caught the attention of the elusive Portsmouth Mafia, the Dioganni Family.
The Dioganni Family approached Kate with the promise of financial stability, something she was severely lacking from being estranged with her family, though on accepting their offer, the job that she was signed up for wasn't for her... but for her power
Enforced Assurance. That's what they called her job, her 'coworkers' staging stressful situations to trigger her power and use her as the brawn for a few of their more dangerous operations. Staying for the stability and a sliver of hope that they might help her learn how to control her ability. She stayed with them for 8 years, fueled by that empty hope, earning the name Ink-Wolf after several successful operations and turf wars, Kate was the Mafia's trump card, though every ace is disposable. She began to become more and more reluctant to go on ops as she started to become more aware of what happened while her ability was active... aware of the killing she was doing... she didn't want to be a monster, not anymore.
Her final mission was staged, what should have been a normal armed robbery was shut down, plans leaked to local police, and a fire alarm tripped, she was left behind, ability disabled and arrested. The organization that had helped her for years now turned their backs on her, no one came to bail her out. And to be honest? She was fine with that.
Her trial went as would expect, sentenced to life to Sirocco for Serial Manslaughter and classed as a danger to regular society due to her inability to control her power.
Thus leads us to today, when she woke on the bus headed to the middle of nowhere with a neckband that disengaged her ability when she got agressive, and an ache in her chest, remnants of a surgery she didn't remember, an internal pulse monitor broadcasting it's readings to who-knows-where and a GPS tracker...
