|{Quirks || Habits || Oddities}|
▪Roxie has a certain frown which can mean one of two things; she's about to laugh so hard she won't be able to breathe, or she's about to curse someone out.▪It's hard to get Roxie to be consistent about anything; she'll almost always just try to mirror the people around her.▪Roxie has a tendency to touch her face more than necessary when she's lying, nervous, or uncomfortable.▪When overwhelmed by somethng, Roxie tends to freeze and shut down a bit.▪She mimics body language, preferring to take more from the identities of the people around her than her own identity▪Roxie hums or sings to herself when she's alone, constantly, and often tries to mimic whoever sung the song she's singing or humming.▪
|{Power}|
⚘Power Replication⚘
Given physical contact with a gifted human, Roxie can mimic their power. The result is a near-perfect copy of that person's power, which Roxie can use at her own disposal until she breaks concentration keeping the power going. She adores playing tricks on her teammates this way and finds herself a very adaptable superhero because of it.
|{Power Weaknesses}|
⚘Primarily: Mental Fortitude Required⚘
Roxie's power takes concentration to preserve; although she's had a lot of practice with it, and is very apt at the application of said concentration, it can still be broken with the right things, and this puts her in a very vulnerable spot the moment after her concentration's broken. She can only simultaneously concentrate, at this time, on two powers, and rarely has enough coordination to use two at once. To learn a power, Roxie must touch the person she's attempting to mimic (although she need only touch them once; after that she need only be in the near vicinity of a power she already knows to 're-learn' it after her concentration's broken.), and this also raises a vulnerability if she hasn't copied a power previously to protect herself while approaching an opponent to attempt to mimic them through touch. She forgets a power as soon as she stops concentrating on it, and although concentration has become a 'background process' with her now, she still loses the power she's concentrating on rather quickly if distracted.
|{Talents || Strengths || Skills}|
⚘With a strong sense of self preservation, Roxie is good at getting out of a situation before it gets sticky⚘Stealthy and physically fast, combined with her power, combat is pretty easy for Roxie⚘Has a pretty decent singing voice and is amazing at acting/mimicry.⚘Self preservation and a reasonable lack of trust mean Roxie is pretty good at keeping herself out of trouble.⚘Roxie's charismatic and knows that her looks can get her by in the world.⚘Roxie is very good at pretending she has no emotional baggage, and will often enough forget that she has any. She's not significantly damaged by the events of her past and is confident in her own way of life.⚘
|{Flaws || Weakness}|
⚘Perhaps most notably, Roxie is self centered. Her sense of self preservation is much more pervasive than any empathy or sympathy which she might feel.⚘Roxie can be incredibly manipulative when it comes down to it; she's a lovely actress and will even use her mimicry and acting against friends and allies if she feels it will do her good.⚘Closed off to interpersonal relationships, Roxie often ignores the needs of others and quiets empathy so she and/or her allies can prevail.⚘A lack of trust, manners, or true respect for anyone but herself means Roxie can be ruthless, very hard to get along with, and even harder to be her ally.⚘Roxie is less often herself than someone else entirely.⚘
|{Hobbies}|
Singing, people watching, and watching television are Roxie's biggest hobbies right now; she's in her college's a cappella group, and is majoring in acting & vocal arts. She likes to mimic and learn things from the television and often stands in front of a mirror examining her own expressions.
|{Fears}|
øBig dogsøTaking the subway alone at nightøBig stormsøGetting too close to peopleø
|{Regrets}|
Perhaps what Roxie regrets most is how she treated her parents, although she realizes that they were often just as cold to her as she was to them. She regrets not building better relationships in her youth.

|{Personality}|
The first thing to understand about Roxie O'Hara is that she, despite everything, has a big heart and does care for people who've managed to convince her to love them. That's just a rare thing. That information might make you a little more sympathetic about the fact that she is, in fact, a self proclaimed bitch. Headstrong, often distant, and no stranger to falling into a manipulative streak, Roxie isn't liked by many people, which she tells herselve she's fine with.
That aside, Roxie does like people, she just has a nature which she can't shake; a tendency to lie and copy, to be, in any given situation, more the other people around her than herself. This might stem from a deepset fear of herself, or at least being blatantly, unapologetically who Roxie feels she is.
With a knack for mimicry in all accounts, Roxie tends to pick up traits from people around her. The more she likes someone, the more likely she is to mimic them, although in groups of people she likes, Roxie is most commonly found mimicking the loudest/most outgoing individual. WIP

|{Likes}|
▲Peoplewatching: A big component to proper mimicry is observation, a habit which Roxie absolutely lloves.
▲Vermont: When Roxie was young, it was a family tradition to take an autumn vacation to Vermont. She retains a love of it.
▲Acting: Roxie feels more real when she's acting or mimicking someone else than when she's not.
▲Hard candy: It gives her something to do with her mouth.
▲Business relationships: For some reason, they're just easier to her than normal relatioships
▲Revenge: Vengeance is just a feeling that Roxie enjoys; it gives her pull. It gives her purpose.
▲Singing & Music: Another thing which just gives Roxie a purpose.
▲Mynah birds: The only animal Roxie feels any real kinship with.

-Young Volcanoes
|{Dislikes}|
▼Being bored: It's just something that she plain can't stand. She always needs to be engaged.
▼Most big animals: She doesn't like slobber or scat or teeth or most of the things that big animals are made of.
▼Distractions: Joking around is all fine and good, but the second someone distracts Roxie from something she's focusing on is the second she stops liking them.
▼Homework: Perhaps because it takes up about half her life right now.
▼Rain: She doesn't like big storms, and rain is just a precursor to those.
▼New Jersey: Another vacation spot, Roxie just learned to dislike NJ, living in NY.
▼Birthdays & Anniversaries: Any holiday where Roxie is a main character, Roxie dislikes. She hates being singled out and made to be something different from other people.
▼People pointing out her over-confidence or selfishness: Self-explanatory; Roxie hates being confronted with that kind of thing.

“They say we are what we are,
But we don't have to be,
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way,
I'll be the watcher (watcher) of the eternal flame,
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams,
Oooooooh
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
Oooooooh,
I try to picture me without you but I can't
'Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long,
And live with me forever now,
Pull the blackout curtains down,
Just not for long, for long,
Because we could be immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Sometimes the only pay off for having any faith,
Is when it's tested again and again everyday,
I'm still comparing your past to my future,
It might be your wound but they're my sutures,
Oooooooh
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
Oooooooh,
I try to picture me without you but I can't
'Cause we could be immortals, immortals,
Just not for long, for long,
And live with me forever now,
Pull the blackout curtains down,
Just not for long, for long,
We could be immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immortals,
And live with me forever now,
Pull the blackout curtains down,
we could be immortals, immortals,
Just not for long, for long,
We could be immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,
Immooooooo- immortals,

|{Costume : Mask}|
Modeled after a mynah bird, Roxie's mask is a feathered affair with a shape like this one, although done in black, with gold accent at the beak and under the eyes. It crests back into a feathered headpiece in black and dark grey-blue, as well as a few white accents, and similarly colored feathers are woven into her hair. Her costume itself comprises of a patchwork dress overtop a pair of patchwork leggings and under an argyle patchwork coat (with yellow/gold accents instead of red)
