Full Name: Heather Irina Laxton
Nicknames/Aliases: Heather, Councillor, Sleepyhead
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Gift: Control and Production of Sentient Mist
Loyalty: Liberty, as Espionage Councillor
Description: Upon catching sight of her for the first time, one might wonder how on earth this woman is one of the heads of Liberty. Constantly dressed in some variation of pajamas, dark brown hair hopelessly tangled in a mess of bedhead, blue eyes bleary with sleep, Heather appears as if she just rolled out of bed without bothering to get dressed. Her face is youthful, however, and if she cared enough for her appearance, she would be quite comely. Heather is hardly seen without a large cup of coffee in hand, tendrils of silver-grey mist swirling about her ankles, and a constant look of drowsiness.
Personality: Heather is rather...strange, to say the least. She speaks without much of a filter, leading her to put things extremely bluntly, or even bring up topics that are inappropriate at best. She tends to appear aloof and casual towards most things, such as the unspoken rule of Councillors having to look their best; however, one can’t deny her stubborn determination towards her duty, or her complete devotion to Liberty.
Skills: For all her eccentrics, Heather is actually quite intelligent, able to rationalize and puzzle out problems with ease. Not only that, she’s skilled in putting things to memory, noticing patterns, organizing, and is a talented hacker. In regards to her Gift, the mist Heather creates is capable of chewing through metal, and bends to her will most of the time, serving as both a weapon and measure of defense for her.
Weaknesses: What Heather makes up for in smarts, she lacks in social skills. She has a tendency to insult others without noticing, mention private matters casually, and be exceedingly harsh in telling the truth. Physically, she is weak, given the fact that she relies so heavily on her Gift and wit, and even then her powers act on their own term if she’s wounded or emotionally unstable. Heather has narcolepsy, as well, meaning that she will often fall asleep in the best and worst times.
Brief History: The main problems in Heather’s early life were not driven by conflict or pain, but merely those brought upon by circumstance. As a result of her disease and attitude, she was homeschooled, and, although her parents loved her dearly, this often led to her feeling alone or secluded- and worsening her already shaky social skills. She tended to spend time with her aunt, uncle, and cousin as well, although when the family was acquitted as traitors to Liberty, she was left without much interaction.
Eventually, Heather made the decision to join up the cause as an Espionage worker, seeing as her mother had done the same. She went into one of the technological facets instead of being a spy, and, although a majority of her coworkers were technopaths, she was determined to do as well as they could. As such, she honed her own hacking and coding abilities, polishing them in an effort to impress- which, soon enough, she did.
After completing a particularly challenging mission (a challenge given in an effort to sabotage her, and, in connection, put her under another boss), Heather became in favor with a fair amount of her higher ups, allowing her to climb even further up the totem pole. After manning the Double Agent department for some time, she was eventually elected as the head of the entire Espionage sector; something she is very pleased about.
