Character's Name: Faith L. Matthews
Mutant Nickname: Sweet or Pretty legs
Mutant Power(s): She has the ability to send out a supersonic pulse that bounces back like radar. It can let her “see” through walls (if they’re not too thick). Her hearing is slightly more advanced as a result of it. It’s imperceptible to humans and (most) mutants but nearby cats hiss and dogs howl whenever she does it. In her day to day life it’s a pretty pointless gift to have.
Occupation: Part time house keeper, proof reader, piano tuner and she is part owner of an internet game.
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5'8"
Hair Colour: Iridescent Black
Eye Colour: Hazel (well, brown really but it sounds nicer as hazel)
Physical Description: Long multicoloured hair, thin waist but curvy, bust and hips wise. She’s got a pretty face hidden behind her glasses and hair. Her left ear is pierced nine times and tattoos of a red and blue frog on her ankle, a green bird on the base of her neck, and a purple lizard on her forearm. She hides the tattoos and rarely has her earrings in. Her attire usually consists of jeans, a tank top over a long sleeved shirt and her men’s black Borsalino hat is forever resides on her head.
Country/Hometown: Middle of no-where, Maine
Immediate Family: Mother, half-brother and nephew living in Maine and her father moved to Africa
Personality: She’s a good judge of character but she is always willing to trust in people and’ll give anyone a second chance. She’s kind hearted and polite but has recently become a little depressed and is starting to be slightly alcoholic.
Weaknesses: She won’t fight back if someone hits her and creeping up behind her and shouting ‘bang!’ will usually make her pass out.
Additional (Non-Mutation) Skills: She’s a fast reader, she’s fast at typing, she’s pretty good at computer programming (and hacking) and very good at driving at high speeds.
Hobbies/Interests: reading for pleasure, watching movies, and Origami.
Personal History: She was born and raised in Maine. Her older half-brother was the product of an affair that her mother had had just after she and her father had got married. Her father left to help the people in Africa when she was six but sent her gifts from Africa every year and visited every couple of years.
In high school she hung around of a group of friends who were all thought to be mutants. Secretly they’d all laughed at the way other students darted past them in the hallways and shot scared glances from the other side of the classrooms but the truth was that none of them knew if they even were mutants. Out of the nine (thus the number of Faith’s piercings) of them only three were mutants. Faith, Emst and Jamie. Jamie was killed by a group of the mutant haters from the school, a week before the end of the final exams. Faith chose to take his death as a sign that mutants should be proud of what they are but keep their mouths shut about it whereas Emst went revenge seeking and no one heard from him until Faith’s nephew was born.
Faith was considering going to New York but hadn’t had the guts to ask her mother yet. It was early evening, Faith’s mother and brother had gone out, her nephew (Joe) had fallen asleep and Faith was sat on her bed reading. There was a bang on her window Emst was there. He asked her to marry him and she stared unbelievingly at him. She was about to answer when her mother’s car pulled into the driveway. Faith ran down the stairs and shot out the door, Emst not far behind. Two months later she and Emst were married and living in a two roomed apartment in NY. Emst was often gone for weeks at a time and wouldn’t tell her why. Faith had gotten part time jobs and when Emst didn’t come home for three months she decided she’d go to Lusus Naturae and get to know more about the mutants of New York.
Anything Else: -Her nickname ‘pretty legs’ is all Emst’s fault, it was one of the names that had been concocted in a conversation that Faith wasn’t a part of. All her friends from high school call her ‘Legs’ or 'Sweet'.
-Emst’s power is concentrated Alkali pores in his hands. He burns skin and is now a hired assassin.
-Jamie’s power was an unbelievable memory
-Her brother had got engaged and his fiancée left when Joe was only fifteen months old
