Physical Description

Heather is a lean beanpole of a young woman. Her hair comes down to the middle of her back and lays thick but straight in a choppy purple spray. It was naturally mousey brown once but she's since dyed it so many times she hardly remembers what it looks like. Her pale skin is offset by dark brown eyes that are exceptionally good at offering a catastrophic death glare.

She has large gauges in both ears and a pair of eyebrow piercings in left brow near the tail end of it. There is also a faint scar under her pouty bottom lip that suggests she may have also had a lip piercing at some point.

Clothing-wise, Heather enjoys baggy pants, tight shirts, and super soft beanie caps. She'll never admit it but some of her caps she's actually knit herself. Question her on it though and you're likely to end up with a knitting needle through a hopefully not vital body part.

As a graduation present her mentor got her a tattoo on her right arm that runs from her chest and shoulder down to her wrist. It's a musical staff with notes and "ink" splashed about as it winds down her arm. The song has special meaning to her.

After a spree of Pilot kidnappings in May 5018 of which Heather was also a victim she now sports a QR code tattoo on the left side of her neck. She also has deep wrist and ankle scars as well as stripes across her back from the beatings. After rescue she got a small cheese pizza slice tattooed on the inside heel of her right foot just below her ankle bone as well as a thick, black XIV on the back of her neck.

Personality

She prefers to keep to herself. It is not that she hates people it's just that she abhors the noise they create. Breathing, coughing, shuffling about; it's all infuriating to her at the best of times. She hates music and loud sounds and therefore can often be found on her own and with a pair of noise-cancelling headphones on, though they are never actually playing anything.

Getting to know her reveals a rather sarcastic, moody individual that is really shielding a sensitive and caring young woman (somewhere in there). In ATC she was known as The Bitch and has butted heads with many of the members inside and outside of its walls. She even went head to head with the mentor of another Candidate and nearly got herself TRIM'd for good because of her wicked tongue.

Now graduated, Heather is a bit more stable and less vicious. That doesn't mean the Bitch still isn't in there. She just knows when to rear her ugly head...usually.

Things
  • Hates loud noises and crowds. Much prefers to keep to herself or in quiet areas.
  • LOVES to swim. Even owns a pair of underwater headphones thanks to Aspen's big sister Havanah.
  • Secretly really enjoys sad piano music.
  • Absolutely WILL NOT drink or do drugs. Doesn't care what others do but very much a stick in the mud when it comes to that kind of stuff for herself.
  • Favorite food is takeaway stirfry and rice or noodles.

Magic/Abilities

Telepathy: Heather is pretty average when it comes to projecting telepathy. Her classmates have often complained from time to time that she was even hard to hear as if she was doing so from too far a distance to be heard. What she is good at though is building shields around her own thoughts to have them not heard. Layers and layers of protection against both he own and other's thoughts allows her blessed silence even in her own mind.

Sonokinesis*: Heather can mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound, using it as a powerful physical force. Her abilities however, differ from those of mentor. Where Razican is able to warp sound to a point where it reaches nearly two-thousand decibels - enough to utterly destroy almost anything, Heather's gift lies in the art of suppressing, lessening, and preserving objects and people within her field. She is able to create bubbles that are unaffected by the vibration disturbances outside of them. However, the stronger a force she is trying to contain or the larger a radius she is trying to shield the more of a toll it takes on her physically.

Getting overly emotional, either angry or upset, has the consequence of creating a pocket of complete silence, effectively muting anyone and anything within a few feet of her until she calms down.

Relationships
 
Razican Eleria: Mentor, friend, and brother in bond.

Aspen Brooks: Her former roommate from Stage 4 on. The pair used to hate each other to the point of coming to blows. Now they've got a bond as strong as sisters. Not only are their dragons bonded twins but Aspen and Heather are partners in work and crime in the Margad Cell of the Seekers. The pair are near inseparable and while they have their own places, Heather all but lives at Aspen's. They eat together, sleep together, and spend nearly every breath of time with each other.

Matthew Wright: Heather's on-again off-again lover and tentative friend. They have their ups and downs but at the moment seem to be ok with each other. He is incredibly sweet to her and Heather doesn't really understand why given how cruel she can and has been to him in the past. She will never admit it but she likes him...maybe as an actual friend.

Levi: Her red, male dragon that is twins with Aspen's dragon, Thaen.

History

Heather grew up in the lower caste. Her mother died or left when she was very young and her father was never really around. When he wasn't working he was drinking and when he wasn't doing that then he was passed out in his own vomit on the scuzzy bathroom floor. They moved often as he bounced from job to job which is in part why she was not brought in by ATC until her 14th birthday.

Growing up got really good at taking care of herself and finding little places to hide and be by herself. Heather was never interested in playing with the other children or joining in on their loud childish games. She did everything she could do, all but willing away the sounds just to gain a bit of precious silence. One day though she got her wish as in a fit of frustration and rage she silenced their entire apartment complex. There are many rumors regarding what actually was the straw that broke the camel's back but Heather sure as hell isn't going to tell you.

The rest as they say is history. Her 14th birthday was spent moving in and becoming a gracie. Stage one was a bit rough but stage two was pure heaven for Heather. She found that she absolutely LOVED learning and knowledge. THIS was the piece missing from her life that had been filled with empty beer bottles and trash telly. She was almost sad when she finally excelled enough to move up to stage three. That too was doable but less fun. She was able to grit her teeth and bear it for the sake of surviving. No one wanted to be TRIM'd and for her the fear seemed genuinely reasonable. Stage four, Heather had a new hell ahead of her as she locked horns regularly with her mentor and his teaching methods. She made it through and earned herself a few "friends" along the way.

Stage 1: 14-14.5
Stage 2: 14.5-16
Stage 3: 16-17
Stage 4: 17-18
Stage 5: 18-18
