Svetlana "Lana" Azarov
Age:
17
Gender:
Female
Race/Ethnicity:
Russian
Powers/Abilities:
Crystallization - she's able to make a strong crystal grow at will, whether it be on herself or something else. Whatever else she's growing it on she has to be touching. If some of her crystal has already grown on something, she can make it continue growing without having to touch it.
Letting the crystals grow directly on skin is shown to be very painful, and leaves what almost looks like a burn behind. How bad the burn is depends on how long the crystal was left to grow. She usually carries a pair of elbow-length gloves with her so she'll be able to use her power more easily.
Most of the time she's able to control her powers fine, but if she gets too angry, sad, scared, etc. she can lose control of them. If this happens, the crystals will grown on her skin, likely trying to create some sort of "shell" to keep away whatever is causing these feelings. It only succeeds in harming her further, though.

Personality:
Lana is a very sweet yet timid girl. She tries her best to get along with everyone and to please people, and is also very motherly and caring. She seems to have very high expectations for herself as well. If she fails to do something correctly, she'll get extremely irritated with herself and call herself a failure or something similar, even if it's just a simple task like cooking (which she isn't very good at to begin with).
Family:
Mother; Daria Azarov
Father; Dmitri Azarov
Aunt; Yulia Baburin
Bio:
Lana's parents are both very prosperous, her mother being an astrologist and her father being a scientist. They were always very busy people, and hardly ever had time to spend at home with Lana. When they did, it was either one or the other, never both of them. That said, Lana usually stayed with her aunt, Yulia, who was a very strict person. She expected Svetlana to grow up into a prim and proper young woman, and tried to raise her that way as well. You could say that it has worked, though it also made Lana a bit of a perfectionist and very scared of failure. Whenever she did something wrong, her aunt would give her a long lecture on how she'd never succeed like her parents if she didn't shape up, and send her to her room for a few hours.
Lana discovered her powers when she was about eleven. It was after being yelled at by Yulia, when she felt a mixture of anger and sadness, and she locked herself away in her room per usual. She could feel a burning feeling coming from her arms, and when she rolled up her sleeves she saw a thin layer of the crystal material covering most of her forearms. With enough concentration she was able to make them dissappear, leaving her arms red and stinging. After that, she'd spend all those hours in her room practicing how to use them. After several years she had enough control to make intricate statues right in the middle of her room, and then making them somehow retract back into no more than a little chip.
When she was 16, her powers finally became apparent to her aunt. It was the first time that Lana ever yelled back, letting all her feelings pour out. As she yelled and shouted, the material formed all around her- underneath her feet, on the wall she was touching, and up her arm. Unsure what to do, Yulia ended up taking her to the hospital and demanding that the doctors find a cure for her "abnormality". Of course, they were unable to. Soon after her 17th birthday, the Organization came and took her. They gave her aunt the excuse that they had found a cure for her.
Now, Lana is at a complete loss. She has never been on her own, and she especially has never been on the run from someone.
