She has to have absolute concentration on her subject for her suppression and enhancement to work
The suppression only lasts around fifteen minutes before the subject is able to gain full control over their abilities
Under an hour, she is only limited to three mutants and the effects wane the more mutants she puts under her control
Unless she's careful she has the tendency to enhance a mutant's ability to the point where the target may have problems controlling their power

Heightened emotions
The more she uses her powers and on a grander scale, the more time she needs to recuperate

Sure I know you'd like a million words or so to fill you in about my past

A relatively calm birth, Isabella Marie D'arcy graced the world with her presence a six pound baby with the most peculiar inquisitive eyes. One of the palest of blue and the other green flecked with warm honey brown. For a moment, she startled the doctors and her parents when she didn't cry but with a light tap on her back, she wailed like a banshee and thus ended the quiet life of Marie and Seth D'arcy.

Nothing was missed under the peculiarly colored eyes of the girl who early in life had insisted everyone around her call her Ella, finding it easier to pronounce at three years old. Ella's growing curiosity concerned her parents especially her mother when she started asking about the tall dark-skinned woman who kept leaving her briefcase unattended at the door of their house to go upstairs with her mother.

The stress of the divorce drove Seth to indulge in his only vice that he gave up when Marie decided she wanted a baby. He saw it as a blessing that for all of Ella's curiosity to try something new, she never picked up his horrible habit.

The curiosity built further in her adolescence with only her father to deal with it in his calm and patient manner. It got her into trouble more times than her father could care for but he never lost his patience. Mostly because she reminded him so much of her mother whom he still loved dearly.

It was only later in her youth that she understood what her father had done for her but realisation dawned on the young girl only when he passed away of lung cancer. She picked up smoking the day of his death.

Many faces I have known, many ways in which I've grown, moving closer on my own

She was thirteen when she moved to Kalispell where her mother had followed her lover, Faith Vasquez to be wed. Ella never bore resentment towards her mother but it was incessantly hard to be nice to her mother's partner for some reason. But a silver lining presented itself to Ella after two years of dodging her mother's partner. It was in Faith's home that a recruiter from Bellefonte found her at fifteen years old.

Ella was told she had a gift that if channeled properly could do a lot of good. For once in her fifteen years of life, her curiosity did not get the best of her and off she was whisked to the warmth that was Bellefonte. She was trained in four different arts of self defense since her power could only stifle or enhance another mutant's power, which could only protect her so much.

She befriended a few mutants who were quite happy to be normal again in her presence but that grew very old very fast when all she was to her so called 'friends' were a little bubble of normal with their 'other' truer friends.

It didn't take long for Ella to make enemies as her curiosity usually got the best of her whenever she felt like she wanted to test out her powers. Many a times, her power was used to stop bullies from using their powers against the lesser powerful kids. Sometimes, the bullied were grateful and other times, they were not. Because she practically had no social life with no real friends and only her recruiter as company, Ella concentrated on her studies and after three years in Bellefonte, she was presented with a high school diploma and was able to apply to an Ivy League school far away from her mother and her wife.

Getting accepted to the first and only place she applied to meant that she didn't have to stay long with her mother and Faith and she graduated with a double BA in journalism and public relations. Not that she ever got to use it.

If you believe this is a moment, control it. You feel it getting better, back where we belong

Her love for Bellefonte never wavered, feeling that it had been her one true home after her father passed away. She went back, filling the position of powers trainer, having soft spots for some of her trainees that didn't have a good home life. 

Well the danger on the rocks is surely past still I remain tied to the mast could it be that I have found my home at last

Finding a home in Kalispell had actually been a difficult feat. She wanted to be far away from her mother but near enough so she didn't have to commute to work. But after months of staying in the given dorms on campus, she finally found a place suitable for her and is now a proud owner of a tiny long haired calico, originally[/sarcasm] named Cali.

We'll say things we never had planned then we'll get to know each other in a little while

*Private conversation between Subject D'arcy and Subject Junior Bailey, a local girl former subject sees on occasion outside of school. Retrieved from camera feed and Junior Bailey's voice recorder June 19th 2010*

JB: It's a project I'm doing.
ID: Yeah okay, sure. Do I get credit?
JB: *laughs* Sure, so I should just address you as ID or do I use your real name?
ID: IT. Sounds more mysterious *laughs*
JB: *giggles* Okay. So I know you're living alone now. But you're still pretty young. No boyfriend?
ID: *silence, presumably to light the cigarette, which corresponds to the video feed, before soft chuckle is heard* No time.
JB: Do you even like boys?
ID: *bursts into laughter* Of course I do.
JB: Hokay. So what is keeping you from finding a boyfriend?
ID: I don't see how this is relev-
JB: It's a social demographic project to ascertain the-
ID: Alright alright...fine. I've got my work at the private boarding school at the top of the hill that keeps me busy. And when I get home, it's all about keeping the house clean, making sure my kitten gets enough cuddles and catch up on my reading. It keeps me busy.
JB: Oh. Okay sure. So if I were a guy and I was going to get to know you on a blind date or some-
ID: *snorts*
JB: -thing, what you would tell me your likes were?
ID: Taking long walks on the b-
JB: Seriously!
ID: *chuckles* Alright, alright! Keep your panties. *sighs and inhales cigarette stick, according to video feed* Alright, so I'm a big fan of cookies. Any kind. If you bake them for me, I’d be your friend forever. I like pencil shavings, which is why I use pencil instead of pen more. Um...*scratches forehead and laughter is heard on the recording* I like dancing. And the occasional karaoke sessions. Oh, I’m digging traveling. Been to a few places just in the US of A but that counts. *laughter from both subjects* So that’s pretty cool.
JB: Okay, I’ll accept that. Alright what about your dislikes?
ID: This is turning out to be like those online dating prof-
JB: El- ID! Just humor me, please?
ID: *nods while taking a drag from cigarette* Alright. Um, dislikes. Nosy people who ask too many quest-
JB: Forget- *chair scrapes back but subject D'arcy pulls subject Bailey down*
ID: Sorry, sorry. Okay, I really don’t like getting paper cuts. Which is annoying because I'm always surrounded by paperwork...it's annoying let me tell you. I'm not particularly inclined to water. I almost drowned once in a pool and I think I saw someone pee in a pool and just...no. I like to sit by the beach though. Like...fifty yards away from the beach at least. I don't like being kept in the dark. Even if it's for my own protection, I just don't like it. In addition to that, I don't like being lied to. I'm an honest person myself, I think. So I'd like the same treatment.
I loathe being stuck in traffic. I get fidgety and restless and I sometimes get car sick. I hate coffee. I don't know why some people say they would die without coffee but I hate the taste. If I taste coffee in anything I eat or drink, I'll just push it away. And I don't like people making assumptions about me either. So yeah sure, I might come off as the resident bitch but it doesn’t mean I’m incapable of caring. I mean I care. I just show it differently.
I don't like being ordered around. And I don't like being ordered around twice. If you've said something once, I get it. I'll follow your rules but just say it once. Don't wear yourself out."
JB: *momentary silence* Wow.
ID: Good enough for ya?
JB: *chuckles and nods* So, one last question because I think my tape’s running out.
ID: *laughs, takes a drag from cigarette* Shoot.
JB: Why do you live alone?
ID: *silence. Tape ends, video still playing. Subject D'arcy ruffles Subject Bailey’s hair and leaves*
*end of transmission*


SAMPLE: Here's a red panda. And here's a fluffy white cloud on legs called a kitty. And here's a malamute puppy. *blinks innocently*
