Name: Pomona Irene Davies
Alter-one of the three first
Age: 28
Batch Number: 0
Length at Institute: 14
Standing: Good
Appearance: She has skin the color of a river birch's bark, almost like warm honey, and when looking closely one can see her skin even has the slight texture of bark. Her nails are long and sharp, but she tries to keep them trim to keep from being dangerous. Protruding from her head are masses of tangled and unmanageable auburn locks which twine together with vines and flowers making it impossible to brush. Her build is slight, but very long and willowy. Her limbs are long and she has abnormally long fingers and toes. She has intoxicating hazel eyes with a surprising depth. When looking into them one almost feels as if they are looking into the depth of a forest. Her figure is curvy and has ears that point rebelliously. In her cheeks are soft circles as deep at times as the rind of a bright red apple.
Abilities/Gifts: The scientists discovered through experimenting on Pomona that mixing human DNA with plant DNA was futile. It caused harsh physical side effects and next to no positive enhancements. She has skin that is rough and bark-like and tangled with her hair are vines and flowers which constantly grow as if they were her hair. Even her ears and nails suffered from this mixture. The one thing she did acquire was photosynthesis and the ability to age very well. It was even hypothesized that she might have a longer life span than a normal human.
Weakness(es): Being half plant is difficult. Pomona cannot eat actual food. Her skin has to synthesize the sun to sustain her. She actually has no stomach because of this. If she is out of the sun for too long she will become very weak and could even die. Also her skin is bark-like. This is a very frustrating feature and causes problems when it comes to being around people and for simple tacks such as wearing clothes.
Personality: Pomona has gone through a great trauma in her life, and has spent a good majority of her years running from people who wish to lock her away as they did when she was a child, but despite all of this she is a very chipper and happy human being. Her spirits are never low. There is always a cheerful smile plastered upon her face, and it is almost impossible to find a situation which she cannot add a silver lining to. Her nature is easy going and friendly. She loves people and being friendly. However, her greatest despair in life is that she is unable to spend as much time socializing as she wishes; for, her appearance keeps her tucked away indoors. It's too striking for her to be often out in public and could tip off the people she is constantly hiding from
History: Words were just beginning to fall from little Pomona's lips making her bookish parents so proud. Not a day later they began to plan her bright future, but that bright future never came. The night the small toddler learned the word "book" she was playing peekaboo with herself in the sliding back doors when strange people came and scooped her up before her parents were even aware she was gone. For fourteen years after that she was locked away in the institute. After all that time she couldn't take it anymore and she and two others decided to escape together. They were successful, and she now owns a small apartment near the building to keep on the lookout for any other alters who might manage to escape as she had done.
Future Hobbies: She loves to weave. She can also sew and knit, but to make these activities possible she has to sand her fingertips, which is a bit of a painful process.
Other: Pomona was one of the first three alters taken to be experimented on. She was taken before any of the batches were brought to the institute. Ever since she has made it her personal goal to dig up enough information on the institute to bring it down.
