Name: Abigail Ochoa
Alias: Abbie
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Abilities: Teleportation; Abigail is able to instantaneously transport herself and/or objects around her through space, simply by willing it to happen.
Weaknesses: Abigail's ability is controlled as a mental one, through concentration and willpower, and is very taxing on her. Even a single moderate (Human-sized) use of her power is enough to utterly exhaust her for a day, and she must be well-rested to use it in the first place. If she attempts to use her power while already mentally exhausted, she risks knocking herself out, and even in so doing would likely fail the teleportation she'd been attempting anyways.
Her ability also has a set range of about 100 feet in all directions, and it becomes much more difficult for her to pull off a teleportation if the origin or the destination of it aren't in her line of sight. Another major downside is that the results of a botched teleportation range from very inconvenient to downright unpleasant, depending on whether or not whatever was being teleported was a living thing.
Appearance: Standing at a fairly diminutive 5'1", Abbie is far from an imposing presence, and her lithe, athletic build does little to make up for it. Her hair is jet black and relatively short, the bangs only just long enough to cover her bright hazel eyes in the right configuration. She is usually wearing light, airy clothing, a tank top and shorts being a fairly typical getup to find her in. Being half white and half latina, she has light olive skin, smooth and unmarred save for the one thing that people usually notice first about her.
Abigail's right leg has been removed entirely just below the knee, leaving behind a stump with surprisingly little scarring, hinting at a remarkably smooth cut when it was severed. Most people don't usually see this, however, as she's almost always wearing either one of the two prosthetic legs she owns: a smooth, white prosthesis for walking and everyday use, and a special athletics prosthesis for running and other such strenuous activities.
Personality: Abigail is an exceptionally friendly, outgoing young woman, who can be boisterous when she wants to be, but knows when not to be. She makes it her personal goal to befriend everyone that she can, and as many people as possible that she can't. Because of her all-accepting attitude, Abigail is a natural pacifist, almost to a fault, completely convinced that there isn't a single situation that requires she resort to violence.
When she isn't busy being an incessantly good pal, she likes to take advantage of any athletic facilities that are available, even if those 'facilities' are just a wide open field to run through. Right before bedtime, she's known to curl up in her room and finally just relax with a good book, or a movie on her laptop.
Background: Abbie was born and raised in San Bernardino, California, where she lived with her parents and younger brother. Growing up, they were never a very well-off family, but no matter what, they always had each other for all the love and support that they needed. Where her brother was always shy and reclusive, Abbie was the outgoing, sporty big sister who would always show up to scare off his bullies, and make the public school life easier on the both of them.
Going on to high school, Abbie started to turn her sporty nature into a passion, determined to become a physical therapist and be that helping hand for those who needed it most. With that in mind, she worked her tush off to get the best grades she possibly could, juggling classes and her obligations as a member of the track team, in order to try and land a scholarship so that she could go even further with her education, without being a burden to her family. And finally, after years of working herself ragged, she did it - she landed a huge scholarship that would all but eliminate her university expenses! That same night, her whole family had a big celebration over it, and Abbie felt incredible relief like she never had before. She'd really done it. All her hard work was paying off.
It was the day after this, on the way to school, that Abbie discovered her power. She refuses to say much of anything about what happened, but the passerby who discovered her said that he heard a commotion in an alleyway, and when he went over to check what was happening, he found Abbie unconscious on the ground, with her right leg and a mysteriously smooth chunk of the ground and a nearby wall completely disappeared. The next day, when Abbie finally came through, she began the process of recovering from her sudden, grievous injury, and coming to grips with what had caused it: the power that she now knew she had.
It was only a couple weeks into her physical therapy that Abbie learned about the academy. Consulting with everyone she could, it was decided to finish the rest of her physical therapy, then send her there as soon as possible. Here, she would be able to acclimate herself to the second new facet of her life to come out of that fateful day... and hopefully, make some new friends like herself in the process.
Geez, sorry it took me so long to get this done! I've been wayyy busier than I thought I was gonna be the past few days! Anyways, I hope you all find Abbie agreeable! I've got another character that I'm seriously considering creating, but he's still a liiittle ways away from being fully fleshed out. You may or may not see him here soon!
