Name: Cateleya Sofia Herrera (Cat and Sofi are the most common nicknames)
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Code/Superhero Name: Parvati
Appearance:
Looking at her face to face, she comes to an even 4’ 10” barefoot, feet planted on the ground. Her chocolate brown eyes, the windows to her soul, are inquisitive and adventurous, yet innocent and naive. Curly mahogany hair, which when untamed (more often than not), looks like a tumbleweed on her head, frames her face which is smooth as silk and caramel brown. When straightened, it falls to her shoulders, yet she mostly keeps it up in a messy ponytail. Her ears are small, always hidden under her hair. She’s an average body type, not too thin, but not without a pudge here and there, although her powers keep her from gaining too much weight, a blessing and a curse. However, since she’s small chested, that tends to be a negative subject. Her arms and legs are small as well, with little muscle, although she’s very flexible, and her feet are hard and calloused from running barefoot since she was a small child.
For such a small person, she has a big voice, and high-pitched as well. When she gets excited or scared, she tends to squeak like a mouse, sometimes to the point where her words aren’t easily understood. She also uses her hands when talking, becoming more animated the more excited she becomes. Her clothing slightly matches her personality. She enjoys simple colors, not too bright, but not too drab either. Her favorites are reds, some pinks, and blues, but if it looks good, she’ll wear it. Her favorite pair of shoes is no shoes, but she’ll wear tennis shoes, sandals, and boots at the proper time.
Usually, she can be seen fighting crime in bright reds, oranges, and yellows, but she doesn’t have a superhero costume at this time. It’s just whatever feels comfortable.
Personality:
Cateleya isn’t new to the way the world works. She knows she doesn’t have it all figured out, and she doesn’t pretend to do so. Instead, she takes every day as an adventure, while still clinging to the ones close to her for guidance. She’s cheerful about her situation, and always asks questions, which can sometimes be mistaken for childish behavior. She hates being treated like a child, and will often try to prove herself if needed. When she messes up, she isn’t afraid to show how upset she is, though she is insecure about many things. She may be quietly staring at you from across the room at first, but by the first five minutes, she will have approached you and asked you at least three questions. Only later will she think about the negatives. However, she’s cautious of new people and won’t quickly get close to them, but will consider them for the future and maybe temporarily latch on to them to find out more about them.
Cateleya hasn’t had an easy life, but she pretends that she’s just like everyone else, if for no other reason to keep the spotlight from being on her in a negative way. She also will get upset if people pry too much into her personal life. Her barriers aren’t bulletproof, but she will rarely share her history past a certain point with anyone, and will separate herself from people when they try to get too close. Despite all this, she’s managed her sanity very well, mostly because pretending everything is okay has become second nature to her, and she knows how to run away from her issues or distract herself with another’s issues.
Biography: Cateleya came into this world in late July, named for the flower that bloomed in their home. After that, Cateleya lived a fairly normal life, though her father died from a heart attack early on in her life, according to her mother. Her and her mother grew up and took care of each other in their middle class life. She made average grades, had average friends, and did nothing out of the ordinary. When her mother became sick and unable to care for her, she sent Cateleya away to her grandmother, who forced her to work hard and study hard. When people asked her about her parents, she didn’t know what to say. Her parents were shrouded in mystery; even when she asked her grandmother, she refused to speak her father’s name.
Powers:
Energy Manipulation. This includes causing particles to either speed up or slow down in movement, making heat or cold.
This also includes Chemical Energy Manipulation, such as making things grow, appearing slightly younger, and slight healing effects.
As of right now, the only abilities Cat knows of are the changes in temperature she can create around her, and slight healing effects on her body. The radius is on average 2 feet from her body, but depending on her emotional level and concentration, it can extend to up to 10 feet. When she is embarrassed or very excited, she makes the air warm or hot around her, without thinking about it. When she’s scared, sad, and even sometimes when she’s asleep for long periods, the air temperature can decrease drastically, sometimes even causing frost, but not an abundance of ice. She is also not capable of constantly affecting an area bigger than the average 2 feet constantly yet. Anything outside of that would feel pulses of heat or cold, like waves on the ocean, while inside of that radius would be the same temperature throughout. Once she moves, the particles would return to normal at a normal rate for that area, e.g. if she turned a flower frosty, once she moves away from it, the ice would melt depending on the temperature around it afterwards. This also means that if she were to use her powers on someone, she would have to stay near them at all times. Her healing abilities are limited to cuts and scrapes, but she hasn’t tested on anything bigger than that. She can’t regenerate body parts, nor can she reattach them to herself. She can only increase cell growth. Once she’s lost a body part, it won’t grow back, but the wound itself would heal faster than normal.
The drawback is having to use her own energy as well, and even though energy is never destroyed, once energy has left the user, it can't re-enter the user, so she will be weakened and in need of replenishment. Also, emotions are a huge factor in the control of her powers. Because the particles around her tend to move faster than normal particles, she runs a slightly higher body temperature naturally
Weapons: Throwing knives and basic fighting skills
