Stella Josephine Davenport
FACE CLAIM: India Eisley
---------------------------------
AGE: 16
GENDER: female
ORIENTATION: has no freaking clue
POSITION: High school sophomore
POWER: Electromagnetic Perception
Stella has the ability to literally see the most of electromagnetic spectrum dealing with communication frequencies (internet, cell towers, satilites, phone radios). She can use this ability to tune into certain ranges of this part of the spectrum and covert the energy into understandable forms, but only for herself. Basically her body is a giant antenna that attracts electromagnetic waves and her brain processes all of this into an interactive grid (picture a holographic tablet) . She is able to intercept communication and encrypt messages. Meaning any form of communication that uses electromagnetic waves she can access. Such as Phone calls, text messages, radio signals, TV signals, GPS signals, etc. Her. Her brain takes the signals and coverts it to a picture, a sound, or a map.
She's able to send messcrambledough text, email, and radio by manipulating the wavelengths.
She can also tell where a message is coming from and and what type it is. As well as follow it to its source if it isn't to far away.
LIMITATIONS:
Her powers are limited to the cell towers in her vicinity, the closer to something that receives a signal such as an antenna or satalite dish she is, the more likely she is to pick up that kind of wave length, I.e a cable antenna and cable stations, or a radio for radio stations.
at the moment she is having an extremely hard time sending messages using wave lengeths. The messages are scrambled, barely received and if she tries more than once she passes out.
She has a hard time flitering through the signals she receives and has to use hand motions to sort through what she picks ups.
At the moment she is unable to use her power to actively search for any specific form of communication, she can only access what she picks up naturally.
Since her brain automatically receives these signals and converts them, she has a hard time turning her power off. She will pick up TV programs, radio shows and anything within her vicinity.
At the moment her Brain is still getting used to converting wavelengths and signals into pictures sounds and maps so she see's a constant waves of colors coming and going. If she touches the waves, she can hear static that clogs her ears from other sounds.
She gets incredibably overwhelmed by her power at times and can can become a sort of signal jammer for incoming reception, she can cause TVs, radios, computers, and phones to lose signals.
She cannot completely switch her power on and off, her power is always on and she can only manage to switch it off for a max if two hours at the moment.
She can only yell which way a signal is coming from. I.E, this way l, that way, north, south, close, far. She doesn't get an exact location unless she us with ten five feet, she usually just follows the wave the signal is on until she reaches the source. It doesn't work for signals sent from other countries or states.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Stella gets blinding headaches, that leave her sensetive to light. She's always wearing sunglasses to contract this.
She also gets nosebleed if she tries to keep her power turned off for more then two hours, it puts strain on her brain.
Stella is also prone to exhaustion, whether its a natural way to turn her power off or because she uses to much energy converting signals and wavelengths, its up in the air.
Due to her power she had developed Chromesethesia. Every sound she hears triggers a color. This is because she is constantly seeing wavelengths, she gets sounds from, her brain has created a pattern of this, even in normal everyday sounds.
"Life was a hurricane, and I was already to survive that natural disaster"
Even though Stella had given her answers through email she was still nervous about the printing of the article. Her parents always helped her through it whenever some sports magazine aimed at kids wanted to do a piece on her. She supposed that it would teach kids tolerance, or maybe address the rumors that surrounded her sudden disappearance from competitions.
“Okay, I have to know, were you always this Zen like? In your last interview you said you meditated, how long has that been going on?”
"I don't ever remember being calm, I mean sure I slept or ran out if energy
but I don't think I ever truly stopped to think about what I was doing. I
was trying to climb something, or sneaking food out the fridge. I was
always trying to live my life to the fullest. I remember my mom saying life
was tough, and I always thought I was tougher. If life was going to leave
me gasping for breath, I was going to make every easy breath before that
worth wile. The meditating thing is actually very recent, I find that it helps me put things into perspective, My life got a bit hectic as late."
”So does that mean, you've always been into extreme sports? How old were you when you first picked up a skateboard, or a snow board? Which came first?'
That's actually a really loaded question, let me think. I don't think extreme sports were my first option, actually believe it or not I wanted to be a ballerina. Up until I was eight, I took classes down from my first home. We live in America and then we moved to the UK, London to be more precise and I was just so upset, leaving all my friends to start new. I figured why not try something new, ballet was really boring anyways. I did pick up a skateboard first, broke my wrist third day trying it out. My mum went nuts but she didn't stop me. I practice till I was eleven, I was in a few local competitions, the first time I placed sixth, and the third time I place first. Best day of my life, winning trophy, it was kind of addicting from there. Then it was the snowboard, I was eleven and we went on a ski trip to impress some of my dad's buddies.
I was adamant that I get snowboard lesson, let me tell ya, I love skateboard, but I'd take a snowboard any day. From there it was set, I turned in my skateboard for a snowboard, I couldn't in good consciousness skateboard when I could quite possible be snowboarding. Then we moved away from the snowy slopes and hit the city and we hit the city hard. We were always moving when I was younger, so I picked up a Bmx Bike and well, I hit the ground running and quite literally hit the ground a couple times. First week in I broke my leg, my mom took away my bike for a weeks. Took a lot of convincing that one.
''You've won a lot of awards, and placed high in a lot of competitions, how do you fit in practicing and learning new tricks? You're only sixteen, I know people are calling you a prodigy but even prodigies need practice.'
"Yes, I know, starting when I was eight and up until now, it's only been eight years. My parents were very supportive, they were always okay with me going outside and practicing or riding my bike around the neighborhood. I think it was because they didn't want me to know all the drama surrounding my sisters, they just wanted me to be a normal kid. I appreciated that for it what it was.
I was so little when everything was happening that I wasn't really affected by it. I was so caught up in practicing for an event that even though I was close to my family...things were different. One of my sister left when she was fourteen and the other one when she was fifteen. They both went to a boarding schools and I was left at home. My parents seemed at peace when they were gone, I missed them I really did, but it was hard to focus on them and sports when my parents were egging me on to compete and practice.
I actually do spend most of my times practicing, I do my homework as soon as I get it and then BAM im outside. I don't think I ever really have social time."
"Sometimes the only thing keeping you afloat, is your ability to drown."
''I'm pants at making new friends, like strangers make nervous. So instead of
thinking of it as making friends, I think if it as making cookies. The
recipe to making friends is to A. Make them laugh and B. Be able to laugh
with them. I feel like, a lot of people aren't people you can laugh with,
just laugh at and that's no fun. I mean I literally spend time staring at
my blue eyes in the mirror trying to make me laugh.
Sure there are times I'm nervous and I feel like, no one will notice I'm
there but I just say screw it and go for it anyways.”
"Demons only seem big at night because if the shadows"
Stella wasn't hiding from her past she was pleasantly forgetting it it. she wanted nothing to do with people who didn't want her around. She assumed that it was kinda of a lie, she did miss her sister. Cassie had been their for her before she moved away, Cassie had been her rock and while she hadn't really got to know Ashley that well...she wished she had. She could only hope that somehow they could work past all this bullshit. Stella wasn't one to hold a grudge for anything. She could understand why her parents left, even if she didn't agree.
''You've had two other interviews, since the outing of mutants, since you were rumored to be starting at Bellefonte Academy. I've never actually heard of you talking about your sisters, even before the rumors. Are you embarrassed about your family, of your sisters and parents?''
“My past? Well No, I just want them to be able to live the life they wanted, My parents have had so much thrown at them. Do I agree with their choice, no I do, but I do respect them. I've had the same amount of time with my parents as my sisters and that doesn't make me bitter at all. As for my sisters I have twins sisters, Cassie's been a real help and the
other twin...she's a bit if a curve ball but you get those now and then. I
don't know if I'd ever forgive me parents...there's a lot of bad blood
between us right now...I am up for anything though...who knows it might be am adventure.''
”You seem calm and mature about this, so honest. It makes us wonder if you're hiding anything"
'Me, no. I'm an open book. I quite literally don't have any secrets nor am I doing anything I can't tell you and my fans about. It's just my life is crazy and there are a lot of rumors, a lot of negative feelings out there and I believe the best way to address them is by being honest. Besides I did say this was the most personal interview i'd ever done.''
"The down side of humanity is its narcissism. If we're the only intelligent life forms in space, we're dead."
She kept reading even though she knew that horrible part was coming the part that she regretted. She new she was a mutant, it had been one year since she manifested, one year since her parents had completely cut her out of their life. She wasn't bitter, she was just sad, sad that she couldn't count on them to stay. She had been fifteen, They had moved back to America after putting it off for sometimes but Stella could honestly say that she was happy. They were having a cook out and she was fooling around on he bike while her dad grilled up burgers when it happened. It was like a dam broke, one moment she was fine and the moment she was holding her head on the floor as she was assaulted with colors, sounds, static and everything was spinning. She was rushed to the hospital and her parents were approached by recruiters from the school. Even with the outing of mutants, her parents still left...They still couldn't except her being different. She stated the academy a few days later.
'So, you said your parents didn't take the Mutant thing well, does that mean your admitting to being a mutant?'
“Yes im a mutant, I don't think there is any doubt about it after all, they did somehow get a picture of me arriving on campus. I didn't even think I was that high up on the athlete totem pole for paparazzi”
“So are you gonna share your powers with us? How will this effect your competing?'
''well, this is actually a really recent development in my life, I don't want things getting out of hand. As for competing, my ability isn't anything that gives me an advantage over my competitors but I will be taking a leave of absents from my compete. I'm sure no one even follows kids sports that much.”
''Thank you for being on our web show, I do hope you continue to succeed.'
''Thanks'' Stella smiled until the camera went off and then shook hands with her interviewer. She was used to being interviewed. Mostly for sports magazines aimed towards teens who liked thrilling sports. She did it all, though she'd never quite had to do it alone, it was the first time her parents weren't there to support her. She left the small studio quietly and returned to back to the school. It had been a year since her life had turned upside down and she had tried to make the best of it. She had thought that with outing of mutants that her parents would be more excepting. She had no luck, but she wouldn't cry over it, she would get on with her life and make the most of it.
