Natasha is extremely intelligent, an excellent problem solver and having a normally scientific approach to life though she is known to engage in presumably purposeful illogical, clownish behavior. She loves to gain knowledge and understanding of the universe with a reckless curiosity and wild imagination when it comes to creating 'hypotheses' but also likes to share this with others she trusts. Sadly her powers have caused mental instability resulting in near paranoid schizophrenia meaning she trusts very few people, increased use of her powers worsening this sometimes to the point of becoming violent. However, Nat is otherwise friendly, helpful and jokes often through a slight nervous stutter. She rarely takes a leadership role and is hard to predict, sometimes eager to enter a new situation and other times reluctant to do anything for her own reasons. She has poor people skills and is often easily upset or angered.
Abilities: Natasha has a hyper-sensitivity to her surroundings though not completely focused on her hearing, sight, smell or taste but rather touch. By making skin contact with an object or sometimes other forces such as electricity she is able to obtain information about its composition, how it works (if it's a machine) and sometimes a sort of history of what its been through, all gained within seconds. Her body chemistry and genetic traits also enable her to 'assimilate' and reproduce their properties briefly during this contact. For example, were she to touch an iron bar she could turn her skin to iron. Unfortunately it is difficult for Mimic to control how long this lasts or even how she expresses the traits, e.g. her muscles would turn to iron and be unable to move. The absorption of information is quite overwhelming and thus has lead to to her mental instability, especially when in contact with things such as electricity, radiation or living things rather than dead/non-living objects.
Nat has training in karate and this, coupled with her athleticism and enhanced senses, makes her an excellent fighter. She also happens to be an excellent cook and highly knowledgeable in biology, chemistry and physics just not people.
Items: She normally carries a few random samples of common metals, just in case.
Other: Natasha now suffers the effects of often severe mental instability and borderline paranoid schizophrenia due to her powers and is believed to have been involved in a murder. Extensive use of her powers accelerates her mental problems, sometimes resulting in violent episodes which she cannot remember and doesn't let anyone else touch her food, working out its approximate composition before actually eating it.
