Aria

Age:
24
Role:
Girl 2
Power:
Lauri's power is Sound Manipulation. To put it simply, she has the ability to control and manipulate the sounds around her, making them as loud or as quiet as she wants them to. She can also make sounds appear louder to one person, but not to others, as well as making them quiet. There is also a way for her to use the sound waves from the sound to push something/someone back or cause pressure to hit an object or a person. She may not be able to create sounds herself, but she can create sound waves by building up the sounds that her body makes(heart, blood, muscles, all make sounds that usually cannot be heard) and sending them out, this usually makes a high-pitch ringing noise than can be quite painful to the ear. Although she is very skilled with her ability, when creating sound waves using her body, she cannot pinpoint a direction for the sound to go so it usually goes out in all directions, which might be a problem if one of her allies is standing nearby. Other than that, she is very talented with her ability and has a lot of control over it.

Description:
With caramel skin, sea-blue eyes, and long black hair that flows down to her hips, Lauri is quite the alluring lady. She stands 5'6" tall and weighs around 124lbs and is rarely seen wearing any make-up other than clear lip gloss. She almost always has her hair tied up(the color of the ribbon constantly changing) and rarely ever takes it down even when she's sleeping. She likes to dress in vivid, bright colored clothing and always puts a lot of thought into what she feels like wearing and is often seen wearing plenty of different colored jewelry as well.
Personality:
Lauri takes a lot of pride in being the oldest on the team, but is by far the most immature. She's like the embarrassing older sister; demanding, sarcastic, and quick to throw insults, but is also very caring and protective of her family and friends. She's loud and loves to have fun and is constantly trying to get the others to join in. She may seem a little provocative and flirty, but isn't overly 'out there' and never goes too far with it. She really enjoys picking on the others in the team, but mostly pours all of it onto [Boy 3], and will talk to him openly about pretty much anything. Being the outgoing and colorful person that she is, Lauri fully enjoys all kinds of parties as long as there is good music and plenty of alcohol, and boy is she one hell of a funny drunk. She could be considered lazy, sloppy, and slightly over-bearing, but she knows exactly when it's the right time to get serious and, even though she may act careless and rude at times, she's a very loyal friend and hates seeing others get hurt.
History:
Lauri is a full-out New Yorker, born and raised in the big city in a 3-bedroom apartment with her little brother and parents. Her mother was the owner and main chef of a small restaurant in the down-town area, so she wasn't home very often and when she was she would be filling out paperwork to keep her business in check. Her father was a professor at a university, so that didn't give him a lot of time to spend at home either, but Lauri never hated hem for it. In fact, she much enjoyed being given the responsibility of taking care of herself and also took a lot of time to help her little brother with school work and she'd do chores around the house that her mother didn't have time to do. Still, despite her mothers career, Lauri had absolutely no talent in the kitchen, so takeout was a regular dinner choice for her and her brother when their mother didn't have time to cook for them. She loved going out and having fun, but knew how to stay out of trouble with the cops and usually avoided causing any problems for her parents.
She developed her power at a very young age and, though at first she was afraid of it, she quickly trained herself to control and harness it properly so she wouldn't hurt her brother or parents in anyway. She kept it a secret for most of her life up to her early teens when she finally showed her brother(9 at the time) what she could do. This was around the time she started picking up instruments and playing them to entertain her brother and friends. Her teachers were quite impressed with her talent, but not so much with her personality and attitude. By the time she was in her senior year of high school, she'd been offered plenty of scholarships for universities, including the one her father worked at, but tuned them all down so she could stay and take care of her brother, even though he was in his early teens by then. Not long after school started, she met [Boy 3] and instantly took a liking to the shy new boy and not long after he also started to warm up to her. A few months after meeting him she was introduced to the Alphas and instantly jumped at the opportunity. After all, she'd be close to home and using her power to keep the place that her brother was growing up in safe. After three years passed her best friend[Boy 3], whom by now had told her about his abilities, also joined Alphas after she was able to convince him to do so.

Skills:
Lauri is a parkour genius; able to use just about any kind of environment to her athletic advantage using movement, flexibility, and agility. Using her athletic abilities, she's also pretty good with combat and puts a lot of effort into training(despite her complaints about it afterwards).
Surprisingly enough, Lauri is also quite skilled when it comes to sewing or designing clothes. In fact, she designed and created about 90% of her own wardrobe.
As one would expect someone who has the power of Sound Manipulation, Lauri is an exceptional musician and is very musically talented. She can play any instrument just by listening to it and rarely ever had to practice unless it is a very complex piece being played. In her room she has a piano, guitar, a flute, and her favorite being a dark red violin that she keeps on a stand in the corner of her room beside her guitar. She also has quite the beautiful voice, believe it or not.
Weaknesses:
Lauri has much difficulty controlling her ability if there are too many object creating sound around her. She might be very skilled in using her ability, but organizing and sorting out multiple sounds that are blurred together is nearly impossible even for her.
Another one of Lauri's weaknesses are definitely her friends. She's the kind of person that wouldn't hesitate for a second to push a friend or family member out of the way of a speeding car, so if they were in some sort of situation that would require her to do something risky or dangerous, she would do it.
Fears:
- Loosing someone close to her
- Being seriously injured(she may be strong, but she doesn't do very well with large amounts of pain).
- Dieing(like many, Lauri fears dieing before her life is complete).
Other:
Lauri's Hero name, Aria, generally refers to an elaborately done and beautiful song sung by a soloist in an opera, originally meaning any expressive melody, usually, but not always, performed by a singer.
Lauri also owns two pets; a pure white, male cat named mooch and a Saint Bernard named Cuddles. The cat usually stays in the bedroom since he doesn't like other people and hides if anyone other than Lauri is around, while the dog is like a giant teddy bear who loves to follow Lauri everywhere.

Theme Song:
"Pretend" by Lights
