Full Name:
Elizabeth Madden, but only to those who have a death wish. To the rest of the world, she is Lizzy or Maddy.
Age:
Twenty
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Lizzy stands at a rather average five foot nine in height and has slender, yet sturdy build. Her hair is naturally black in colour and when loose, reaches midway to her elbow. Generally she keeps most of it tied up out of her way. Her eyes are light blue and usually defined with some degree of eyeliner. Lizzy's skin is fair in complexion; despite her dark hair, it is enough to warrant sunscreen on a bright, extraordinarily sunny day.
A corset enthusiast, Maddy maintains a good posture at all times. Slouching irritates her to see; the thought of letting her own back into that position positively horrifies her.
Disruption:
Lizzy's room mate at college was suffering from constant harassment from two stuck-up bullies. Having had enough, she confronted them after school. A quiet word of warning with one of the girls turned into a screaming match, which then turned into a brawl. She grabbed a shard of broken glass, slicing open Lizzy's arm, then out of instinct, Lizzy grabbed something and... the next, she was in cuffs, being read her rights for attempted murder. The wounds didn't match the glass fragment, and the arresting officer claimed that he'd seen Lizzy holding an unusual looking dark red knife just before he pulled her away. The weapon was never found, but it was deemed a result of her being a 'mutant'. She was excused from a charge of attempted murder, but was charged instead with GBH and sent to C-CLASS.
Power:
Haemokinesis:
The power to manipulate blood, whether it's from oneself, others or free-flowing.
Lizzy can shape, control and manipulate blood at will. She can change the density and properties of blood, which allow her to clot blood, induce haemophilia, or create weaponry, like knives. By coming into contact with someone, she can manipulate the blood inside their bodies as well. Her ability applies to animal blood as well, however, she was a weaker effect on it. Lizzy's ability also allows her to detect anything unusual in a person's bloodstream, from drugs to infections, to conditions affecting the blood. Her ability also grants her one hell of a good immune system.
Strengths:
Powers: Lizzy can endure high levels of blood loss, since she generates blood at a faster than normal rate. She can also preform well in low-oxygen environments as she can manipulate her blood into conserving oxygen levels.
Language Skills; Lizzy speaks English and French fluently, and knows some Spanish.
Archery: Lizzy once took lessons and isn't a bad shot. However, when she says archery, she means target shooting, not field archery.
Balance and Flexibility: Lizzy trained as a dancer once. She left the class but kept up with most of the exercise, enduring that she kept a supple, healthy body. Her balance is good, but she believes to be merely be a result of good posture.
Lizzy also isn't afraid to get down and dirty. If she needs to go swimming in a muddy swamp, then she will march straight in and go swimming in a muddy swamp.
Weaknesses:
Lizzy is prone to anaemia if she overuses her power. She is also not immune to bleeding out if she cannot clot the wound.
Lizzy is highly allergic to nuts, once going so far into shock that her heart stopped. She used to carry medication with her, but that seems to have gone missing...
Personality:
To the outside world, Elizabeth Madden is simply another 'goth' or 'emo' waiting to grow out of a difficult phase. She has always kept to a small, closely knit group of friends; while in C-Class she mostly kept to herself. She is intelligent, not exceptionally so, but she has a deep thirst for knowledge and for learning. She is a keen biologist; she was studying anatomical sciences when she was arrested. For all her brains, she remains an impulsive individual, and is stubborn enough to stick by her decisions. Lizzy is also very resourceful; a requirement growing up as the eldest of six children, and takes pride in her ability to fashion a sling from a pair of socks or entertain a group of ten year olds with three marbles and a bag of flour.
Lizzy may come off as slightly cool or aloof to her peers. Rather than being snooty, she suffers from SAD; social anxiety disorder. This condition renders Lizzy a selective mute in most situations where her 'circle' of friends is not involved. She also craves security and someone that she can rely to fall back on. Friendship is something precious to her, she finds it difficult to befriend people due to her condition and due to her impulsiveness and stubborn nature, it tends not to last very long. She is fiercely loyal, and unafraid to sink to any depth to prove herself or to defend a friend.
Likes:
Poetry, especially that of Plath and Adrienne Rich.
Tea; Red, green and the occasional Earl Grey.
Being 'different'; It's been instilled since youth.
Music. Everything and anything she can listen to. Except trashy pop.
Thrift Shops; If you even mention that song, your face will soon meet Lizzy's fist.
Medical Dramas; Even that one in Seattle. That's just too funny.
Rom-Coms; ...What?!
Dislikes:
Trashy pop; Just... no.
Cheap/Weak Tea/Coffee; Who likes warm water to drink? Actually, warm water would be nicer. ''>_>
Expensive Chain Stores; At least in the cheap ones, you're only cutting and stitching up five dollars.
Bio:
Elizabeth Marie Madden was the eldest of six children, born in a lower-middle class estate on the outskirts on London. Both of parents were self-proclaimed mutants; her mother could phase through objects, her father manipulated plant life. She was twelve when her family suddenly moved to Minnesota after one of her younger brothers developed the ability to make things explode. Despite growing up in a family that included twins with super speed, a pyromanic brother and a muscle mimic sister, Lizzy had a relatively normal childhood. Her abilities were seemingly tame when compared to her siblings. As a result, Lizzy was one of three children who wasn't home schooled and attended high-school.
Despite her condition, Lizzy performed well at school, becoming an ace student and joining the track team, as well as science and writing clubs, and in her senior year, became president of the poetry appreciation society. She graduated with a scholarship and to her parents delight, attended university. She was the first, mutant or non mutant, in her family to do so. It was while at university she met up with others like her and her siblings, and began testing the limits of her ability, with little success. It was only after one of her friends was involved in an accident that Lizzy became aware that she could do much more than make people pass out or detect anaemia. She began experimenting, and growing in confidence, discovered that she could manipulate animal blood, and reverse the process of coagulating. It wasn't until the unfortunate incident several months ago that Lizzy discovered her ability to form weaponry and solid objects from blood, be it her own or that of others.
