Appearance:
An English bombshell, April is as curvy as a Sine graph, and she knows how to work it. She has an athletic build that isn't overly-worked or ripped, but still quite toned and chiseled. She's tall for a girl, at about 5'9", and since she likes her heels, often appears even taller. She has long, flowing, wavy red hair and dark green eyes, a small nose and full lips that are often coated with some sort of gloss. She is long-limbed, particularly her legs, which she likes to flaunt. She takes meticulous care of her body, her skin clear, lips never chapped, her nails always looking recently manicured, her hair done exactly right (even without her styling it), and not an inch of body hair to be seen, ever. She isn't afraid to get down-and-dirty, though, and when she does she still manages to look perfect. Her usual facial expression is a half-lidded expectancy, a seductive smile playing at her lips and her eyes glinting with a strangely attractive sense of danger, as if she were daring you to make a move and try your luck, though chances are it's not in your favor.
Age: 17, nearly 18
Power: April can block the powers of others. She can prevent and and all psychic powers/abilities/enhancements from affecting her in any state of consciousness, and can also lessen the effect of the powers of those near her, regardless of whether they are targeted towards her or not, for as long as they are within her radius of influence (which is currently at 10 feet, though with further development it could expand). Touching someone immediately renders their power ineffective for as long as she is touching them and for a short period of time afterwards (again, as she develops this ability, that time can be lengthened until she could, theoretically, permanently take someone's power away, though she is a long ways off from that).
Unfortunately, due to the method of implantation and her age when it was done, April's body is slowly rejecting her blood, as the serum that granted her powers had combined with it. April was aware of the possibility of this, and is knowledgeable in the symptoms (which include coughing up blood, fainting spells, internal bleeding, and easy bruising), but does not yet know that she is suffering from it yet.
Sexual Preference: Straight
History: April was born to a modest, middle-aged couple in Manchester and grew up without too much trauma in her life. Her father was a butcher, and she learned a great deal about knives and anatomy from him. Her mother was a casual, stay-at-home florist, and had once been very attractive, but didn't age well. However, she did pass on a few beauty tips to her daughter, and would often dress her hair. April's relatively happy life came to an end when she and her parents were involved in a car accident that resulted in her parents' death. She was put in an overly crowded Children's Home. Since no one paid much attention to her, she was free to do what she liked without repercussion. She grew interested in computers, and continued her passion for knives. At the age of 12, the Home went to London on a field trip, but when it came time to leave, April stayed behind. She acquainted herself with the numerous other street children, and found that she could make money by running errands for the numerous mobsters around the city. She kept this up for about two years until she grew interested in the underground cyber-crime ring. She made a name for herself within the organization when she sold out the information of all the gangsters she gophered for. It was here that she met Mikhail for the first time. The two instantly grew attracted to each other, despite a warning from one of her coworkers. April asked him out when he didn't make a move, but he rejected her. Upset and emotions high, she finally did an online search on him. She discovered he was a spy for the Russians, sent to uncover this very crime ring, and she attacked him. He managed to escape, and April herself left before the ring was torn apart by investigation. Since then, she has been working as a hired hand for whatever organization pays her the most.
Personality: April is the ultimate femme fatale. Almost all of her sentimentality has evaporated, due in part to the death of her parents and Mikhail's betrayal. Although she acts the part of the sexy woman in red well, she feels nothing but boredom or slight amusement, and at times disgust or pity, depending on the man. She holds grudges, and is a strong believer in revenge. She isn't new to killing, and has grown desensitized to the deaths she inflicts. She can be cruel and sadistic to those who have wronged her, the biggest offender being Mikhail. She has a dirty sense of humor and a large ego. Most of her personality shifted for the worst after Mikhail, but some traits that have persisted include her secret fear of motor vehicles (which she plays down as a dislike, but she will slowly begin to freak out if you put her in a car), her dislike for rain, her practice of Victorian Flower Language, her quick-wittedness and love of puns, her nervous habit of twisting her hair around her fingers, her refined straight-forwardness, and, though she is trying hard to get rid of this one, her dreamy idealism. If you can get past her thorny exterior, she makes for a good listener, even if she doesn't look like it, and is good at giving honest analysis. If you really want to hear the truth, she'll give it to you, but depending on the situation, she'll make you work for it. She is quite good at lying, and has a good enough memory that she can remember the stories she tells, preventing inconsistencies. She isn't much for friends currently, as she finds most people pathetic and/or boring. She's good at faking any emotion, so it's difficult to tell what she's really feeling. She speaks with a Manchester accent, but can speak in any English accent convincingly. She is also conversationally fluent in Russian and French. Despite her extreme denial, she still harbors strong feelings for Mikhail.
