| B I R T H N A M E: |Heidi Anneliese Keller
| N I C K N A M E (S): |Dee Dee [She's not a fan of it]
| A L I A S (ES): |Sparks
| S E X: |Female
| A G E: |17
| A P P E A R A N C E: |Heidi's most obvious features are her shoulder-length locks of chocolate-blonde hair (which can appear in a darker or lighter shade depending on the lighting) and her distinctive hazel-green eyes. She often wears her hair loose or tied in a long ponytail. Her face is slightly-oval in shape, her nose pert, and her lips a healthy shade of pink. She stands at a height of one hundred and sixty-eight centimetres tall and weighs around sixty-five kilograms. Her posture is befitting that of someone who engages in a healthy dose of physical activity. Her build is athletic and lean, with a fair share of muscles gained through her highly physical lifestyle. She is highly lithe and agile, and her figure clearly represents one who is familiar with climbing and other acrobatic manoeuvres. Heidi's pale ivory complexion boasts a hint of golden undertones, and is unblemished, without any sign of physical scars.
Attire-wise, Heidi can usually be seen dressed in dark-coloured long sleeved blouses and t-shirts, which are often paired with a brown parka and dark grey form-fitting pants. Although she has a preference for form-fitting attire, she still wears her fair share of semi loose and comfortable clothing on a frequent basis, and the sight of her combining the two of them is definitely not an unusual one. Although she has been in the US for a couple of years now, she still speaks in her natural German accent, although its current state is alot less pronounced compared to the time when she first arrived.
| A B I L I T I E S: |Electrokinesis:
■ Generation | Heidi is able to generate and store electromagnetic energy of her own in her body. She is able to control the current and voltage of the electrical energy to generate raw electromagnetic energy controlling it at will for various purposes. There is a limit to how much she can store and any excess will leak out into the environment as static electricity.
■ Expulsion | Be it conjuring up palm-sized balls of electrical energy or small bolts of electricity, Heidi is able to harness and shape the energy within her to do her bidding. Heidi is also able to augment her punches and kicks with electrical energy, similarly to how a taser works. She is currently working on a new technique which enables her to let loose a continuous stream of electrical energy.
■ Electrical Immunity | As a by product of her power and how the cells in her body react to electrical energy, she is completely immune to the effects of electricity, and thus can never be electrocuted. She is able to absorb electricity harmlessly and convert it to beneficial energy for her use. That also mean that she is also able to redirect electrical attacks coming her way should she need it.
■ Electromagnetism | Heidi is able to manipulate and control the magnetic fields of metal objects using a variety of electrical currents. She is thus able to levitate these objects through the use of telekinesis, though it should be noted that she is only able to control objects with metallic elements in them regardless of the voltage of currents she introduces into non-metallic materials.
Limitations/Weaknesses:
■ Insulators | Her power is completely ineffective against materials which are good insulators of electricity, as they cannot be electromagnetically manipulated, levitated, or damaged unlike conductors. Such materials include wood, rubber, and plastic.
■ Recharge Needed | After a long or extended period of use, she will be drained of any electrical energy stored within her and her generation rates will be greatly reduced as well. She will then need to drain other sources of electrical energy, such as power lines, fuse boxes and batteries to replenish her energy levels back to regular levels. Her body glows and crackles in a whitish blue glow that makes her stick out like a sore thumb especially at night which makes hiding virtually impossible.
■ Exhaustion | Aside from not being able to control electricity once drained, Heidi will experience a sudden, acute sense of fatigue, as her powers are tied-in to his own bioelectric energy levels. An analysis of her blood shows that her electrolytes/blood-salt levels are higher-than-normal, indicating that she needs a high enough level of blood-salt levels to support the use of his powers. However, the increased intake of sodium has no adverse effect on her health, as they go towards supplementing her abilities.
| B I O G R A P H Y: |■ 1998: A new girl was born to a German couple in the coastal city of Hamburg, Germany. The newly married couple, Hans and Greta Keller named their latest addition into the family, Heidi Anneliese Keller.
■ 2004: Her parents began to wonder why there seems to be an abnormal amount of static whenever anyone get closes to her. They rub it off as nothing unusual with nothing to worry about.
■ 2006: As the young girl grew, so did her power. Apart from the static electricity which didn't seem to subside as they had hoped, now common metallic objects, like watches, spoons and forks seem to get attracted to her hands often. Her parents began to worry.
■ 2008: The first signs of visible electrical energy makes itself known as she unknowingly shocks a bully in her school while in a highly emotional state by touching him. He fell back as though hit by a taser, driving him unconscious. The other bullies scatter, shouting for help. The principal and the parents of the boy label her a freak, and the school begins to gossip about the girl, with everyone avoiding her for fear of the same treatment. The whole school calls her "freak" and "monster" behind her back. Her old friends begin to alienate her as well. For the first time in her life, the young girl feels alone and self-deprecating.
■ 2009: The bad name and reputation surrounding Heidi spreads from her school to her city and neighbourhood. Aware of their daughter's misery and the distaste of the ill-words spoken of their child, they decide to immigrate to the United States of America to begin a new life in a new country where nobody knew them or their past.
■ 2010: Unafraid or ashamed or her power, Heidi start to play a little game with her powers, lining up old tins she gathered lying around the neighbourhood in a her backyard, shooting at them as though wielding a pistol. Her initial attempts were weak and unsuccessful, but daily practices saw her grew better.
■ 2011: Heidi's little game did not went as unnoticed as she had hoped. Less than a year after she started her game, a pair of "suits" appear at her doorstep asking for an opportunity to study her. Her parents were initially agreeable but changed their mind the place they were taken to freaked them out. Guards tried to stop them from leaving, but Heidi shocks her way free with the guards unprepared for such an attack.
■ 2012: The Dark Phoenix event happened, and everything went quiet for a while. Life went on as normal and they were no more further visits by these "suits", though Heidi had a feeling that they would return some day.
■ 2014: Heidi was recruited into the school several months before Charles Xavier passed. She mourns together with the rest of the school on the loss of a great leader and visionary.
■ 2016: Two years has passed since she had been a part of the school, and she would like to think that she had integrated well into her new life at school while still maintaining a form of contact with her old one.
| M I S C . N O T E S : |■ Heidi is a incredibly talented gymnast and acrobat.
■ She was in the school's gymnastics team before joining up with Xavier's Academy.
■ She is also a talented martial artist whose passion lies in Taekwondo.
■ Her favourite music lies in the classical and opera genre.
■ She loves watching action and science fiction shows/movies.
■ Heidi still speaks in her natural German accent, albeit less pronounced compared to how it used to be.
■ Her favourite food has got to be Pizza.
■ She also loves anything cooked on the grill, be it steaks, burgers, pork chops or barbecued ribs.
■ My favourite beverage has got to be Iced Chocolate.
■ The same applies to Heidi, except she loves Hot Chocolate equally as much.
HEIDI KELLER'S RELATIONSHIP SHEET
// Friend // Acquaintance // Frenemy // Rival // Enemy // Crush //- Alexander, William
One of the youngest student in the school, Heidi is a big fan of William's energetic and lively spirit. She finds his exuberance and optimism refreshing, and just spending some time with the younger boy is enough to lift some darkness on a sad and depressing day. His powers is also similar to hers in the elemental aspect.
- Anderson, Nathaniel:
To be entirely honest, Heidi doesn't know much about Nathaniel. What he does know, however is that he's another one of the psonics who is able to create fancy ethereal weapons, and that he likes Hollie.
- Andrews, Allison:
Allison is a nice girl, a pleasant and affable individual that Heidi doesn't mind hanging out with when she needs someone to talk about girl stuff. She finds her power cool, what with the future-seeing and all. So clairvoyant and so mystical.
- De La Rosa, Llavi:
Llavi is alot older than she is, which reduces the contact they have with each other. The only thing they have in common in a way is that they were both originally both a foreign country. She also knows him as the Black goo guy.
- Green, Daniel:
Well, as far as Daniel is concerned, Heidi doesn't really know much about the guy. She does, however know that his powers allow him to control plants, which makes him part of the group, along with Alexander that possess elemental abilities. His plans of eventually lying down with Colossus is also pretty vocal.
- Grey, Darren:
Heidi can understand why few people like the guy. He does act like an asshole, although it wasn't as bad as it was when he first joined the school. A memory that she will always remember is the sight of Ryan giving him a sucker punch. She doesn't necessarily hate or like the guy, as she doesn't have enough contact to do so.
- Hollens, Hollie:
Ever since she moved to the United States, Heidi has remembered watching Hollie's shows on TV. She was surprised to see that unlike on her shows, she is actually rather stuck-up in real life. Although she is not a fan of snobby people, Heidi maintains a frenemy status with the older girl.
- Irving, William:
Heidi finds the masked boy to be somewhat of a peculiar nature, which intrigues her. His background which comes for abandonment kicks in her protectiveness, and so she tries her best to talk to him whenever she can in order to make his time here a much better one that the one he had before.
- LeBeau, Ryan:
Classmates together with Luke and Ryan, she has known the two of them for a long time, progressing from once acquaintances to frenemies. Heidi is clearly aware of the rivalry between the two of them and often tries to involve herself in the thick of it, cheering on Luke's side most of the time.
- Pilgrim, Luke:
Heidi finds Luke enlightening... To her, the guy is a great individual whom she enjoys being around and spending her time with. His attractive and suave appearance coupled with his great sense of humour and love for puns is something that she loves equally. The two of them also share a common interest when it comes to their favourite food. It is safe to say that the girl does indeed have a noticeable crush on the guy.
