POWER: Bioluminescence & luna moth wings

Name of Power

Short version:

When nervous, excited, stressed, happy, or any other time when emotions seems to be involved Evee might start to glow. She actually prefers 'shine' more like a star than like a firefly. The other thing that happens is that somewhat large pale green luna like moth wings spread from her shoulders blades and back. So basically she's a human sized Tinkerbell.

Long Science version:

Bioluminescence:

Basically the mutation is that her dermal layers have been populated with proteins generically called luciferins. These proteins use energy to react with oxygen and ATP (present in all living organism) to produce photons of blue-green light. Also a luciferin-regenerating enzyme is present to convert the product of the luminescence, oxyluciferin, back into the light producing protein luciferin. The more energy burned the more light produced. Unlike man made fluorescent light that loses most of the energy into heat bioluminescence converts most of its energy into actual light. Though there is still some energy lost to heat. This means the more energy used, the more light produced, the more waste of heat is produced. All in all a lot of energy is required for the process, therefore a lot of calories needs to be consumed to make that energy. Overtaxing the energy supply will leave her extremely fatigued, and completely famished. This can also lead to fainting, irritation from exhaustion, mentally could lead to an eating disorders, and sleeping disorders.

The heat produced is again, from her dermal layers which means to touch her could feel like touching a hot iron. However, she would have to either be shining very brightly or for a long period of time. The light itself would also be warm; think hot coals. But again, she would have to be shining to near blinding light, or for longer than twenty minutes. Afterwards she would most likely go unconscious unless she consumes an extreme amount of calories previously. Either way she tends to feel warmer than most people, especially during or after glowing.

Her eyes are sensitive to man made harsh light preferring natural light. But contrasting that she doesn't much like completely dark areas for her body automatically reacts to the lack of light by glowing. Imagine sleeping all night while glowing thus sleeping even more because you are fatigued from glowing.(She sleeps with a nightlight.) At these early stages in her controlling and using the power she cannot produce light for more than twenty minutes. Thus, would not be able to produce much heat that way. The blinding light stage has only been reached once, and afterward she was unconscious for hours. For days afterward she was also fatigued and unable to glow. Also she has little control of how much light she produces, or when she starts to glow. She is getting better at calming herself to stop the glowing.

If she shines too much, too frequently, or for too long she can also exhaust the amount of luciferin proteins available. This leads to the light dying out and can take some time before she can glow again. Before she can shine again the oxyluciferins must be converted into enough luciferins to produce light.

Luna Moth Wings:

They unfurl from her back with the long swallowtail like ends reaching her ankles. These are more than a little conspicuous, so luckily she can fold them in till they basically just look like a wing tattoo between her shoulder blades. She can pretty much control when her wings unfurl considering she needs her back bare in order to do so. There are few instances where overly heightened emotions or hormones can make the wings unfurl. This can be painful if the clothes constrict them. The type of fabric on her back also has to be soft so as not to irritate them. Flying can lead to fatigue, back pain-especially shoulder and neck pain-dizziness, and a somewhat recklessness about heights. And like any physical activity this can increase appetite.

In flight she can reach heights of about one and a half stories high. Roughly fifteen feet or three and a half metres. She loves flying so tends to practice a lot, and aims for higher limits. In speed she can barely reach about ten miles per hour comfortably, and her max has been near twenty. However, she only held that speed for less than two minutes. Again, she practices a lot and usually only goes 5-10 mph. The average length of time she can spend in the air at 5 mph is about 25 minutes. The higher the speed of course the less time she can spend in the air.

All in all:

She consumes a lot of high caloric foods to sustain energy levels for both abilities. Tends to like parts of the day that aren't so bright, but also doesn't like total darkness. (Basically afraid of the dark.) Evee also tends to like naps, and sleeping in especially after using either abilities.

**Reason for liking natural light and lower light areas. Most animals with bioluminescent proteins either live in pitch dark areas, or crepuscular/nocturnal. Therefore with this mutation of the added luminescent proteins can a mental state that prefers low light. However, she doesn't like complete dark because of the automatic reaction to start glowing. Perhaps when she has better control over her glowing she will lose this dislike toward darkness.

APPEARANCE SECTION:

She wears whatever she thinks is cute on her slender somewhat short frame at the time; giving her a fairly wide variety of outfits to choose from. Lace, frills, bows, stripes, dots, floral, pastels, neons, straps, buttons anything and everything can draw her to a blouse or skirt. Having an older sister in the fashion business also tends to help add to an already substantial wardrobe. Once for kicks and giggles her friends calculated all the different outfits she could make out of her closet, and let's just say it hit triple digits. And of course she has to have accessories to go with her outfits! Hats, bracelets, headbands, necklaces, purses, shoes, earrings, clutches, earrings anything that makes her think of the various pieces of clothing in her closets.

Some call it 'dirty blond' but she doesn't like to associate the word 'dirty' with her hair so she calls it gradient blond. Tending to keep the relatively straight hair shoulder length or longer. Though she usually wears it down she will of course adjust the style accordingly for whatever outfit she happens to be wearing. Tight curls, gentle waves, bun, braid, pony tails, twisted up or intricately woven into a series of loops. Even using hair chalk or other types of temporary hair dye if called for.

Green eyes always seeming to be crinkled from smiling are dawned with complementary hues of eyeshadows and liners. A lot of times however she tends to leave her eyes either lightly adorned or naked. For some reason the feeling of eye make up tends to bother her. Other than eye make up she uses light foundation, and a variety of lip glosses. But overall with make up she tends to stick to more natural tones or pink shades. Her nails are graced with every color of the rainbow with any pattern she can make. Stars, hearts, glittery, flowers, swirls, mood changing, music notes even the kind that supposed to come in different 'flavors'.

MUST HAVE APPAREL:

There is only one item that she REFUSES to take off: a large, woven, silver, mens ring with a sizable blue lapis stone.

PERSONALITY SECTION:

All in all she's behaves like a normal teenager. She has good days where she's bubbly, happy, full of laughter and smiles. Then she has not so good days where she's just getting by, and basically going through the motions. And there are bad days involving sharp mood swings, glares, snide remarks, and wanting to rebel against the world. Most days are good days and not so good days with a few bad days intermixed, at least to her. Remaining optimistic at all times is her goal sometimes unrealistically so. A full believer in if at first you don't succeed try try again! In her mind if she just keeps trying something good will come out of her efforts. Sure it might not exactly be what she first wanted, but it all will turn out for the best in the end.

With this positive attitude she also views people in the 'brightest light' possible. You never know what someone is going through, or what kind of day they're having. A person shoves past you in the hall? Maybe they're late for something important and just didn't see you. Someone a tad rude with you? Maybe they're having family issues or just got told some really bad news. Sure, she doesn't think this is a good excuse for people to treat others badly, but she also understands everybody has bad days. If she just treats these people with kindness and smiles it could brighten their day, and maybe they'll treat others better as a result. Spreading smiles and laughter is something is truly enjoys which is one of the main reasons she wants to be an actress. Of course she also likes the attention, but everybody likes attention, right?

She loves to go to parties, social gatherings, dancing, and of course shopping. Loves giving makeovers, doing little fashion shows, and being on stage. On the other side of things she finds it hard to concentrate on things she doesn't care about, and will often change the subject to something she likes or knows a lot about. Not a fan of being alone she can appear a bit clingy with her friends or romantic partners, though there are occasions where she will slip off for hours without telling people. Everyone needs their me time she just needs it less than others. Along with being clingy she tends to be more affectionate than most and doesn't always respect personal space. Some confuse her affections for more romantic intentions than are meant. In truth she's just touchy feely.

EXTRA QUIRK: Can only read digital clocks. Loves basically anything to do with lemons.Little known fact: Likes to find abandoned or secluded areas to burn or destroy things.

CHILDHOOD:

Being 11 years younger than their older sister Gabby the fraternal twins Emmet and Evangeline were to say the least surprises. It was a surprises enough to find out a baby was on the way let alone that it was twins. Their sister was used to being the only child, and was not at all pleased to have that attention diverted to two wailing brats. Once the twins got past the cry, eat, poop, sleep stage though Gabby found that having a baby sister could be fun. Dressing her up in all sorts of outfits, and playing with her hair. The problem was that the twins wanted to do things together, and Emmet wasn't a huge fan of getting put into cute little dresses. So Evee was often running off with half an outfit on, and only on pig tail to play with her twin. When Gabrielle was old enough to babysit she of course was required to watch over the twins, which put a strain on their sibling bond.

Like most twins Emmet and Evee were extremely close and though fraternal looked nearly identical. As they got old enough for school it was hard for the other kids to work they way into the tight knit pair. But as they made their way through elementary school a solid wall started to form as they fulfilled into their gender roles. The wall never got very high, and they always remained each other's best friend even when their interests started to diverge.

Home life wasn't the best their parents fighting frequently usually ending with their father storming out of the house, and sometimes not returning till a day or two later. By the time they were eight their father was out of the picture only really ever seeing him on the big holidays. However, it didn't take long for their mother to find a new man. Daniel was a perfect fit for Andrianna and loved the children like his own. After he joined their lives things got a lot brighter. Emmet had a real role model, and practically worshipped the man. Their lives got better but the wall between the twins got a bit higher.

ADOLESCENCE:

The wall reached new heights the day Evee got her first womanly cycle, because not only was she a 'little woman' now but she glowed. At the tender and young age of eleven brought on a set of changes she was not warned about. It was bad enough that it had come on so soon, though it ran in the family her mother getting her first cycle at the age of ten. Evee woke up to her whole body glowing slightly and her back hurting. Crying she ran to her mother climbing into loving arms while her siblings watched on from a distance. As wings slowly unfurled from their sister's shining back. Neither of her parents had powers, and as far as she knew none of her aunts and uncles did either. So, no one really knew what was happening to the poor girl. Afraid that the government might take her away her step father vetoed the idea to take her to the doctor.

Within the week people came knocking anyway, and explained what was happening to their darling daughter. Emmet had stopped speaking and looked at his sister with envy. They were twins, why wasn't he special too? By the end of the month Evangeline had a new home, a new school, and a lot less closet space. She sank into a deep depression, and often refused to come out of her room. After a few months she ran away trying to get back home to her family, and of course her brother. It didn't take long for her to get lost, and when night came she started to glow. Fear, pain, loneliness, and sadness overwhelmed her to overflowing and light shown from her body like the brightest star. Easy to say the people at the school found her quickly. Days after she finally was able to leave the infirmary.

Of course her family visited, and luckily her parents and her brother moved to Kallispell not even two years later.The damage in those two years was done however and the bond between the twins was strained to near breaking. Then a miracle happened, Emmet got into a fist fight with a bunch of kids at school. Most people don't see a child getting into fights at school as a miracle, but to the twins it was the greatest miracle of all. Emmet burst into fiery light. Not the soft sweet light of his fairy like sister, no, but bright, burning light. Everything he touched blackened, scorched, or just plain caught on fire including people. But once it got under control the twins were reunited.

Sure, Evee was angry, bitter, and resentful that her brother had shunned her for nearly three years, but she did her best not to show it. What was important was that she had her brother back, and more importantly she had her best friend back. Things were great for a while, but the older Emmet got the more combustible he became both in personality and his power. He started getting into fights again, near daily detentions, failing grades, and a month didn't go by that he didn't run away. Each time he ran away he was gone longer and longer. Evee on the other hand blossomed away from her brother's fire. She got involved with all sorts of clubs, made friends, and found the glory of the stage.

One day her brother told her to meet her at the Kallispell Center mall, which was odd for the rebelous teen. They spent hours shopping, playing games at the arcade, eating junk food, and just having fun. Come nightfall Evee was headed off to a party with her friends, but before she left Emmet gave her a hug and a box. Finding his behavior weird he told her not to worry, and she went off to her party. The next day they found out he was gone, but he'd been gone before. Days past, but still nothing. Remembering the box inside she found the ring their biologically father gave him. It was the last present Emmet had ever gotten from their father. Evee knew he meant to stay gone, but she also knew the school was bound to find him. Until they did the ring would remain on her thumb, it fell off on her other fingers. They were almost eighteen did the school really have a right to drag him back? Meanwhile, she tried to focus on her studies, and school work furious that he didn't take her with him. And this time she didn't know if she could forgive him for abandoning her.
