POWER INFO:
Kalijah has the ability to create, manipulate and bend glass to her will at will. This means that she can sprout glass shards from her body parts, possess a telekinetic bond with glass and create glass out of thin air. This is technically referred to as elemental transmutation as she can simply create glass out of oxygen which doesn't even appear to be chemically possible. However, her body allows her to defy the laws of biology. Kalijah's skin excretes silicon dioxide that, when combined with oxygen, can create glass which is how she does this neat little trick.
The limitations will be talked about. However, the advantages of this power can be many in number. She can control the glass that she creates. Hardened plastic is a different story as she cannot control this even though it is technically a form of glass. She can create a body armor made completely of glass. This doesn't sound all that powerful until one considers that she can create a glass so hard to the point where it nears bullet proof. This is neat trick to have when faced with firearms. Her glass armor cannot stop automatic gun fire that is constant but it has been proven to be durable enough to stop a single bullet with no problem.
There are other offensive advantages of this power. For example, not only can she create glass shards but she can also utilize them as projectiles.
Glass in itself is advantage for her because glass allows her to avoid certain forms of danger. She can can perform various tricks that may not seem all that useful until certain situations come along. She is able to reflect laser beams just like a reflecting glass would be able to. Beams that pass through her glass will only be magnified but wouldn't physically harm her if she didn't want said beams to do so. Aside from this Kalijah is actually able to create a viewing lens of glass and create her own version of a telescope.
She is good at chemistry and understands what her glass is weak against but she isn't a genius by any stretch of the imagination. A well informed adult will have the advantage against her many more times than not.
High frequencies can shatter glass. Kalijah's glass is no exception to that rule. She can get around this by simply hardening her glass but she wouldn't necessarily know that since she isn't a frequency expert. She'll have to be taught what frequencies can shatter what densities. Understand that while she knows how to use her glass as weapon if she uses her glass while being affected by said frequencies the consequences can in fact be fatal. For example, if she's sliding on glass and a frequency or very high pitched noise shatters that glass she could fall to her death.
Fire and ice are two major foes with her. Heavy fire can in fact melt glass but Kalijah has been learning ways to create glass faster than it be melted. However, that doesn't negate the fact that fire can give her problems. Ice is a huge adversary. Ice plus glass equals broken glass. However, even broken glass can be controlled. It's just much harder to control that glass because frozen glass is much more brittle material to work with.
All in all, her weaknesses can be damaging. The most important part to remember with Kalijah is that she understands, for the most part, how her powers work but she hasn't perfected the yet. Disrupt her and win the battle. Outsmart her and win the war. Another weakness that she has is that creating glass can be physically draining depending on how much she does it. Creating a full suit of glass armor is draining enough but doing it on a mass scale can be exhausting. If she isn't careful she can in fact inverse glass created on her skin and cause her physical damage.
GENERAL APPEARANCE:
When it comes to how she looks Kalijah goes out of her way to be glamour girl number one. Make up, lipstick, clothing that reveals his figure and even down to the way she smells will be geared towards showing herself off. She works out and will go out of her way to prove it to everyone. Her skin is dark, eyes are brown in color, she stands at five feet, four inches and weighs one hundred and twenty pounds. She is slender in build.
She tends to keep her nails short. The same isn't true for her hair. Kali's hairstyles can range from long and straight to fully natural African American with braids. It just depends on the day of the week sometimes. She likes to keep her hair neat though as she doesn't do the afro styles. Kalijah also despises hair coloring so her hair will remain its natural color at all times.
Whenever she utilizes her powers for defensive purposes there are times where she'll encase her body in a glass outerskeleton or basically a fully glass body suit. The glass is organic so it will reflect light easier versus normal glass.
PERSONALITY:
Friends are something Kalijah will probably always have. She tries to live her life in such a way that if a person has a problem with her then she'll try to modify herself just to become friends with that person. In other words she doesn't mind being fake just to try to impress others. This shows an insecurity about her. She doesn't believe in herself or her mutation enough. She always sees others as being better than her. Therefore she believes that by being friends with those who are stronger in mind, body and power she can make herself better. Self-confidence is a big issue for her.
It explains why she goes out of her way to try to look good. She figures that by making her appearance desirable she'll feel better about herself.
There are many who are described as a bubbly person. Nothing could be more true for Kalijah. She has the kind of personality where a lot of people would grow to love her. She always tries to make friends and so much so to the point where one of the only negative things some have said about her is that she tries too hard. Kalijah believes that everybody has something to bring to the table. Therefore she treats everyone like her equal. That goes even for people who she realizes are probably bad people.
Religion is seen the same way as romance for her. Religion isn't her strong suit and neither are boys. She tries to keep away from religion as much as possible despite her family being Christians. She was always taught that men have one goal in mind; get her pregnant. So while she doesn't mind being friends with the opposite gender she won't even consider holding hands. She doesn't do church or anything. Kalijah thinks that religion is meant to restrict people.
Her feelings towards her mutant abilities are mixed. She tends to like to have fun with her powers and do all sorts of tricks to try to impress other people. However, she wishes she could fly or have super strength or something that was more explosive than controlling glass. She doesn't really think her power is all that important or useful. But don't mistake that for her being unable to utilize her power. For Kalijah to feel this way about her gift she is certainly a professional when it comes to controlling her abilities. Her kind of power requires a large amount of skill and concentration.

CHILDHOOD:
Kalijah was born into a good family situation. Her parents got married before having any children. The family were Christians and therefore stuck to Christian values. Kali was a loved child. She didn't want for anything. Her parents were doing well in terms of money. The family were centered in Chicago, Illinois in the United States. The family earned their citizenship before Kalijah's birth and before the marriage as they were originally from Uganda.
Her childhood was a pretty good one. She had all of her school supplies, clothing, a place to stay and all the love and care she required. Her father understood the risk that both the children had of becoming mutants. However, Kali and her brother were still treated as if they were going to be normal humans. As a child Kalijah turned out to be a model student. Even though she wasn't great at all subjects in school she was still an overall good student.
ADOLESCENCE:
Bullying had become a problem for Kali because she was treated horribly because some saw her as a goody two shoes. Even as a child she tried her hardest to be a model citizen. These good intentions backfired. She didn't make friends easily. Mutant powers certainly wouldn't help situations. She discovered them at the age of thirteen. While being beaten up at school Kalijah used her forearm to protect herself for an oncoming blow but ended up creating glass shards on her arm causing the bully serious damage.
Kalijah was immediately withdrawn from the school. Her father knew what had to be done. Once word got out about how she managed to defeat a bully with mutant abilities Kalijah's life wouldn't be the same ever again. Scouts recruited Kalijah with her parents' consent. She became a student at Bellefonte Academy. So, in a sense, she has been apart of the school for most of her life.
ADULTHOOD:
She went to college and away from the academy. She regretted leaving because Bellefonte had been her home for so long. However, she hadn't seen her parents in a while or her brother. She visited family while at the same me going to an institution of higher education in her home town of Chicago, Illinois. She majored in education. While she didn't want to double major she did in fact do so with a double major in psychology.
She joined up with a sorority, engaged in various charity events, learned to control most of her abilities and even kept in contact with her family. Things couldn't have been going better for Kalijah or at least she believed so. Upon graduation from college she would go to graduate school to attempt a master's degree in social work. Despite social work not being her previous area of expertise she still attempted the degree course work because she learned that she wanted to be a social worker.
While in graduate school Kalijah was already eyeing some jobs. She could have went across the world with her education. However, it appeared her old academy was calling her name as the guidance counselor's position remained open even after her graduation. She applied for the position and got the job.

SAMPLE:
"Come back here you little freak!"
The sounds of footsteps could be heard by passers. A chase was in action. No, it was more like lions in pursuit of a mouse. That mouse had done something horribly wrong. The crime? The mistake and the offense was simply being themselves. Not everyone could understand those who were simply different from themselves. This couldn't continue forever but as long as the person being chased could run they would do so. After all, they felt as if their very life depended on it.
If it were one thing a new student to the academy didn't need it was human interference. Misunderstandings among humans and other humanoids were bound to happen the same way a man with a bicycle would stare strangely at a person driving a tank. Those who were more than human were seen as dangerous to some. However, a small girl dress in blue jeans, a purple shit and black sneakers hardly posed a threat or at least in appearance. Oh, but she made the mistake of displaying her ability to control glass at an arts fair..
This chase continued into the alleys, crooks and random buildings that led to doors outside of structures. It was night. She didn't realize that she was running in circles. That was the problem with being in a new place; unfamiliarity. These men, numbered in three, were essentially herding her. One would chase her throughout, another would make sure she was following the desired path and the last would lay in wait for her to make a wrong move. That wrong turn was established into a dead end in the back of a darkened alley cornered between two brick buildings.
Now that she was cornered the trio of grown men approached her. Two brandished baseball bats while another held a pocket knife. "Gotcha now little rat," said one of the thugs. A few tears came down the little girl's face. While she could have easily used her powers to defend herself she didn't. Under great stress she had problems utilizing her abilities. That wasn't to say she couldn't take these guys out with no problem. Still, she apparently took issue with harming normals.
With a back pressed against a chain linked fence every avenue of escape was being considered. She turned and started to climb the fence. A hand reached out and pulled her down. Her body fell onto the pavement. That was enough force of impact to disorient her for the moment. She rolled over onto her stomach. A kick to the ribs caused her grip her side in pain. "Please, I'm sorry. I won't do it again," she plead. Her plea fell on deaf ears. They were preparing to beat her to death to send a message to all the other "freaks" out there.
