POSITION: Bellefonte Student
POWER: Enhanced Strength
Enhanced strength allows the user to defy weight limitations. She can lift things that are several times her body length. Dense, lengthy, or overweight items are easy for her move and and use. She can crush, lift, throw, or catch items of that are very heavy or just large.
LIMITATIONS:
Balance still affects her. Just because she can lift something doesn’t necessarily mean she can balance and carry it easily. She also doesn’t have the greatest control and is prone to breaking things or hurting people without meaning to. Her upper weight limit is 1100lbs and she can only hold something that heavy for a minute or two tops.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Fatigue: This can start happen after a few minutes to an hour or two depending on how heavy things things she’s lifting and carrying are. The heavier the object,the quicker fatigue happens.
Muscle Soreness when lifting especially heavy things or due to overuse, essentially like when a normal person exercises for a long period of time.
HEIGHT: 5’1”
HAIR COLOR: Dark brown, almost black
EYE COLOR: Brown
MISC: Elena looks like your pretty average teenage girl. She dresses rather girly, loving pink and sparkles. She wears makeup almost all the time and unless it’s finals week she takes the time to make her hair look nice. Just because she spends most of her time in school doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to look good.
PERSONALITY:
Elena is definitely an extrovert. She loves being around people and loves being the center of attention. Sometimes a little too much. Even she will admit that she’s a little vain. It is very important to her that she be both cute and strong. She doesn’t think those two have to be mutually exclusive at all. She’s been described as bubbly before and she mostly agrees. She tends to be happy most of the time and would definitely call herself an optimist.
Plus she likes to have fun. Whether that’s going out shopping with friends, learning a new dance routine, or really just being silly. She’s a bit of a ham so she doesn’t really get embarrassed all that easily. She’s been called aggressive before but she always prefers the word confident or maybe assertive. She’s not about to take some shit just because she’s a girl. She may look cute and dress very feminine but that doesn’t mean she won’t kick your ass, usually just verbally but physically if she really has to. She would prefer not to have to.
SECRET(S): N/A
FATHER: Alfredo Diaz
MOTHER: Gabriella Diaz
SIBLINGS: N/A
WORTHY MENTIONS: N/A
CHILDHOOD:
Elena was born the only child of Alfredo and Gabriella Diaz in the lovely city of San Francisco. She was her mommy’s baby girl and her daddy’s little princess. It was a charmed life really. Her father was a nurse and her mother was a teacher so while they didn’t have tons of money they got by just fine. She went to a good daycare, then a great public elementary school. She was enrolled in plenty of extracurriculars but dance quickly became her favorite. So that’s what she stuck to. She was popular enough in school. She was outgoing so she never had a problem going up to kids and talking to them.
She made other kids from dance, plus a few kids at school. Even the ones who tended to sit by themselves. She never had a problem walking up and talking to them. She did well enough academically too, but even as a kid her parents could tell it wasn’t exactly her passion. She was smart but she didn’t really enjoy academics. Still it was a good childhood and even middle school wasn’t that bad for her. Sure puberty kind of sucked but other than a couple breakouts and getting her period in the middle of gym it wasn’t so bad.
ADOLESCENCE:
High school looked like it was going to be a good time for Elena. She was excited to start a new chapter of her life. She had no idea how much things were about to change and not just because of the normal changes of due to hormones. She was fourteen when her powers developed. It happened slowly at first, her backpack was a little easier to carry, her hugs were getting a little more intense. She almost didn’t notice the change. Until the day she was helping her mother clean the house and lifted the sofa straight off the floor all by herself.
A couple weeks after that a recruiter from Bellefonte showed up to offer Elena spot. Elena was sad to leave all her friends in SF but on the other hand boarding school sounded awesome. Plus she was getting kind of clumsy and a bit afraid she was going to hurt someone. She figured a school all about gifted people would help with that. As for her powers, she just thought it was awesome and her family did too. Some of the kids at her old school not so much, another reason Elena was happy to go away.
Being in a new school didn’t really phase Elena, she was far too outgoing for that. She settled into classes and made friends pretty quickly. Sure there was some homesickness at first but she got over that after a couple weeks. The next couple of years were good years. She got better control over her powers and continued to grow as a person.
SAMPLE:
From Another Site
Freya had been out shopping for a quite a bit already. She was desperately trying to get all her errands done now that she finally had some time to herself before school started again. Mostly she needed a new school bag. Her last one had been ruined by a coffee spill that had also ruined her nice planner and her makeup bag. Which also had to find replacements for. Unfortunately she was rather picky and had yet to find something to suit her tastes even in two hours worth of shopping.
”I need a break” she muttered to herself as she left the last little shop. ”And some coffee” She rubbed a hand over her face with a sigh. She may have already had two cups that morning, but she needed a third. Some days were just three cups of coffee days. Actually most days for Freya were three cups, or more, days.Spotting a cafe across the street, she headed in that direction. She entered the cafe, not really looking around much.
While Freya was very book smart, she could be a bit oblivious to her surroundings. Especially when she wasn’t at work and didn’t have to be. She didn’t even notice the person slipping into line behind her. She ordered her vanilla latte, as her therapist was challenging her to try drinks with a bit more sugar in them. It was hard not to order it nonfat, but she managed it. She rummaged around her emergency tote bag to find her wallet.
Oh how she was missing her old bag now. It was so much easier to find things in it. At least it felt that way. As she was rummaging she elbowed the person next to her. She whipped around to face them. ”Oh my god I’m so sorry!” She exclaimed, forgetting all about her wallet. ”Are you alright?”
