Kayla rolled her eyes. "Come on, Mel... We both know you're making excuses. You started school in the fall and you haven't tried even once to make new friends or try something new. And you wont go anywhere without me. Don't you think it's time to live a little? This could be great for both of us! Kalya insisted, clenching her fists with a look of determination in her eyes.

Melanie sighed and sunk into her seat, closing her eyes in frustration and dread. "Finnnee. You win, Kayla. I'll go with you," she groaned. "Yes! Hahaha!" Kayla yipped with joy.

"Hello... Sorry to interrupt, but you dropped this. I wanted to return it to you," a deep, but quiet voice spoke from behind Melanie. "Ah!" Melanie yelped. Her tail shot straight up, and her eyes got big. She pulled her legs up onto her chair and hugged them defensively. Mel turned her head slowly to see the lion she bumped into earlier that day, with the big blue eyes and a nervous, glistening smile. He held out her missing sketchbook in two big paws, but Mel couldn't bring herself to grab it.

"Woah, no need to be frightened. Here, you go," the boy lion spoke even more quietly and placed the book on the table. Kayla nudged Melanie with a paw and a big grin, but the girl just trembled nervously. The boy looked at the two girls and rubbed the back of his head. "I uh, should get going. Your art is great, by the way" he complimented before giving them a wave and disappearing into a crowd.

"Nice meeting you!" Kayla called after him, waving. She turned back to Melanie, who was still curled up in a ball on her chair, trying to hold her stink in. The dog girl shook her head disapprovingly. "See? You need to get out more."

Melanie slowly uncurled and sat normally. She let her fluffy tail relax, and it cascaded over her chair to the floor. "Yeah... that was almost disastrous wasn't it. He seemed so nice, too, but I couldn't help feeling frightened. I feel awful. Melanie confessed. She looked sadly down at her sketchbook. "I'm going to try harder to make friends. And if I see that lion boy again, I'll properly apologize."

Audrey Underwood II

Audrey Underwood II

Superhero Name: None
Age: Appears 16 (really only 3)
Gender: Female (she/her)
Race/Species: Plant/Human Hybrid
Student/Teacher: Alpha Student
Inspiration: Poison Ivy, and mythical creatures such as dryads and huldra.
Physical Description: Normally Audrey appears to have green plant-like skin, dark green eyes, and foliage for hair, and has woody, horn-like growths on her head. While in her human form, Audrey appears as a caucasian girl with a bald head (or white blond hair if given time to grow out), and small breasts. It is rare to see her human form, because she only reveals it to those she trusts. Audrey has limited control of her appearance. If she becomes frightened or anxious, she will become more plant-like.
Personality: Audrey feels apathy toward humans and does not highly value life, even her own. She is very serious, humorless, and has trouble understanding body language and jokes. She rarely displays emotion, and when she does it is usually sadness or anger. She has difficulty remembering names and faces. She is distrusting of others because of her father. While she is a capable speaker, she often chooses to stay quiet or say little.
Audrey feels happiest and most at ease when she is close to nature or animals. She enjoys eating meat and honey, but does not care for much other food. She dislikes technology, clothing, violence, and weapons of any kind.
Backstory:
Audrey was created during an experiment by the mad scientist, Doctor Herbert Underwood. The doctor specialized in botanicals and was known for his research into herbal medicine in search of a cure for his wife, who had a very rare blood disease.
As his wife's disease progressed, the doctor became more and more unstable, working endlessly to the point of neglecting himself. Tragically, his wife passed away before he could cure her. This perpetuated his madness, causing him to search for ways to bring back his dearly departed. This lead him to the hybridization of plants and animals. After acquiring alien technology, he found success. It was not long before he created a hybridized clone of his wife, Audrey.
The infant clone appeared normal but matured quickly. As she matured, she developed increasingly apparent plant biology, such as green skin and foliage growing on her body instead of hair. When injured, bark-like scabs formed.
As she grew older, the scientist taught her to read, write, and then taught her math, science, and history. Every night he would read her pages of the original Audrey's diary and photos of them together. But the new Audrey did not remember or feel any love for her father.
One day, her father went too far, causing the girl to lash out with newfound powers. She escaped her prison and was later found living in the forest by authorities, who took her to the nearby White Wood Academy.
Powers/Magic:
Chlorokinesis and Chlorogenesis: can manipulate living plant material with her mind. Can also create plant matter from her own body. Can absorb plant matter and/or energy into her body. If just the life energy is drained, the plant victim will wither.
Plant Armor and Camoflage: May bulk up her body with bark, thorns, and foliage to create armor or to hide herself in her natural environment. Movement may become limited the b UK lkier she becomes.
Regeneration and Toxin Resistance: Can quickly regenerate plant matter. Flesh wounds may be patched with plant matter, and flesh wounds heal about twice as fast as regular humans. Additionally, she is immune to naturally occurring toxins and venoms. (She is highly vulnerable to herbicides.)
Unusual Biology: Mind, hormone, pheromone, and emotion affecting powers have little to no effect on Audrey. Immune or resistant to most plant and animal illnesses and diseases. She survives on much less food than normal people and can go for days without sleep. However, she gets tired and sluggish at night and when exposed to the cold. She is more vulnerable to heat and cold damage than humans, but more resistant to electricity.
Abilities:
Nature Empathy: Can understand and communicate with plants and animals. (Does not control animals.) Gut feelings alert her when something is distressing nearby plants or animals. Both wild and domesticated animals are calmed and soothed by her scent and presence.
Basic survival, Hunting, Foraging, and Tracking Skills
Potential Character Arcs:
1. Audrey learns to care about and trust people. She makes a friend and lets down her guard. Perhaps she gets sick and somebody cares for her.
2. Dr. Underwood comes searching for his daughter to reclaim her. (Possible recurring villain).
3. Or, it is revealed that Audrey actually murdered her father during her escape.

A Sunday in Winter
Eukary University Female Dorms, 2nd Floor, w/ Kayla Samson

It was about 6 o'clock pm by the time Melanie the skunk got back from her usual weekend trip to Central Park. The park was beautiful this time of year, and a little beauty and relaxation were definitely what she needed during the holiday season. The hustle and bustle always seemed to make her so nervous, and being nervous meant the potential for accidents. With a deep breath, she took prepared herself for what was next to come.

"Melly, Melly, Melly! Welcome back Melly!" a brown blur yapped as soon as she swiped her key card and entered the room. An English Springer Spaniel girl asked as was jumping up and down with excitement. Her metal chain and tag jewelry jingled as she went.

"Yes, yes! It's me. You can calm down now, Kayla," Melanie Rose chuckled, patting her twitching tail down before walking inside. "Want to see what I drew for my drawing class assignment today?" the skunk girl asked. The Spaniel nodded and eagerly followed Mel over to her bed, where she plopped her backpack on the bed.

"It's open?" Melanie noticed, a feeling of dread weighing down on her chest. She reached in and felt around, finding broken pencils, erasers, some balls of paper, and some odd dirt and lint. Her heart sunk, her eyes closed, and she shook her head. Kayla whimpered and started to reach for Mel comfortingly with one paw, but then held her own paws instead.

"It'll turn up, Melly. And if not, you can whip something up in no time!" Kayla offered, trying to cheer her up. Melanie Rose shook her head and her tail drooped. "Well, how about we go get dinner at the cafeteria? Food always cheers you up." Mel rolled her eyes a bit at that, but couldn't help smiling. "Okay, fine, let's go."

Later that night,
Eukary University Cafeteria w/ Kayla Samson

"Time for din-din! Let's dig in!" Kayla yipped enthusiastically. She took a spoonful of dry Kibble cereal and munched contently. Mel smiled, watching her for a moment. "Hundreds of different things are served each night, and yet you get the same thing every time. It baffles me," the skunk girl remarked before taking a bite of a veggie-burger. Kayla took a gulp of water from her cup and licked her lips. "But it's so good! Want some?" Melanie shook her head. "Maybe I'll have some tomorrow for breakfast."

Kayla continued eating her cereal while Melanie gazed around the room, eating cricket-chips absentmindedly. The cafeteria had been decorated with holiday decorations and was buzzing with excitement. People were gossiping about who was going with who to the Winter Carnival, and who was going to be the Winter King and Queen. There was talk of a white wolf, a perfect nominee for Queen. Big predators always seemed to win beauty and popularity contests. A stinky little skunk like Mel had no chance in a popularity contest.

"Do you have a date for the Winter Carnival?" Kayla asked, before taking another bite. Mel looked back to her friend and shook her head. "No, I don't...but..." she trailed off sadly, slumping in her seat as she remembered Prom. A very bad and embarrassing occasion indeed.

"How about we go together!" Kayla suggested, her ears perking up. "Two single ladies stealing some sleds, climbing the ice sculptures, crashing the party and eating all the food... It'll be a great time!"

Melanie forced a smile to her lips but it didn't reach her eyes. Not having a date wasn't the problem. The real problem was that she was afraid of having another anxiety attack. She would be surrounded by predator species, cute boys, and mean girls... just thinking about her made her tail twitch. "I'll think about it, Kay. I have to redo my art project if I don't find it soon," Mel answered. She felt a little bad for lying to her friend, but it was a convenient excuse.

In the Big City...

It's been a few months since I started studying at Eukary University... and I still just can't get over how beautiful and exciting the city is... a young skunk girl thought dreamily as she rested her head against the cold windowpane of the subway train. She was watching soft snow slowly blanket the city go by as the train went by. Her breath fogged up the glass and she sat up to wipe it with one pink-padded paw, before settling back against the window. She sat alone and the other passengers kept their distance, but the girl did not seem to mind-- her head was in the clouds.

No incidents yet... but do I dare show my face at Winter Carnival? Ohh... I don't know! There was a dull thud as the small skunk girl hit her head against the windowpane in frustration. Nearby passengers stepped back and looked toward her like she was crazy or diseased...snd maybe she was.

Brakes screeched and the subway train came to a halt. There was a ding and a green light flashed above the opening doors, signaling that it was safe to exit. The young skunk girl picked up her backpack and walked down the train stairs, tripping a bit on the last step. "Ah! she called out, as she fell fast toward the ground. She raised her furry arms up instinctively, bracing for the hit--

But instead of hitting the ground, she found herself in strong, fuzzy arms. She slowly opened her eyes to see slitted feline eyes staring back at her. "Hi, are you okay?" he asked, smiling with big, sparkling, sharp teeth. "Ah! Let go of me!" the skunk girl recoiled, pushing out of his arms, stumbling as she went. The guy who helped her--a lion, it appeared--had sadness in his eyes and slowly drew his arms back. She could feel her tail raising, twitching. "I'm fine... sorry!" she apologized quickly, closing her eyes in embarrassment before she ran away.

"Wait! You dropped--" he started, but the girl disappeared into the crowd. The lion frowned and crouched down to pick up something that fell out of her bag. A sketchbook? He got back up and brushed a few grains of dirt off the cover to take a better look.
