Gender: Female
Age: She’s not sure, but roughly 18
Race: Mutant
Powers: To put it simply, Abby is a shape shifter. She can change her entire physiology. She can look like or be anything, as long as she stays the same size (becoming larger or smaller would require too much change in mass). It’s really painful to do this though.
Conceivably, she can heal herself, but since she works mostly by instinct it’s easy to just make the problem worse.
Appearance:
Spoiler! :
Abby’s usual form is that of a young woman with red hair and pale skin. She thinks this is the closest to how she is supposed to look, but she has no “base form” so it’s just a guess really.
She doesn’t always get things right though. Sometimes her limbs are the wrong length, or her eyes are to wide, or some other oddity. She can fix it, given enough time and practice, but she still skirts the edge of uncanny valley.
She’s really messed up her insides. Everything is put together wrong. Everything still seems to be working, but Abby lives in fear of shifting something she won’t be able to fix.
Personality: Abby is by no means shy. She is merely quite and cautious. She likes to survey a situation with her own careful ferocity before plunging in. She seems feral, but once she drops her guard she can be quite playful. While tentative at first, once she feels safe with someone she will trust them absolutely. This is just one of the ways her naiveté manifests itself.
She is not afraid to speak her mind, and her curiosity sometimes gets her in trouble. She doesn’t have much respect for boundaries. Nor does she have a concept of personal space. Her natural wariness usually stops her from doing this, but if she considers a person her friend, she tends to get up close and personal as much as possible. She is merely a wild creature starved for affection.
History: When Abby was little, she couldn’t control her powers. She spent most of her early years in a lab. She doesn’t know whether something happened to her parents, or if they gave her up willingly.
When she was around seven, her powers began to stabilize (or she simply learned how to control them better, she’s not sure which) and she managed to escape. For years she lived as an animal, usually a dog. She thought it was safer pretending to be just another stray. But when she hit her teens, she got too big to realistically pass as a creature that would hang around humans. She could have simply taken to the wild, but instead she to reclaim her lost humanity.
The transition was not pleasant, either physically or mentally. She really didn’t have the social skills to pass for normal, and the dramatic shifting had taken its toll on her body. Abby quickly found herself hospitalized. Yet miraculously she was able to escape yet again by impersonating one of her “caretakers”. Since then she has been living on the outskirts of society, using her powers to try and avoid suspicion as much as possible.
Up for love: Definitely
Other: She doesn’t know what her original name was. “Abby Lynn” was just the combination she likes most out of the names she actually knew.
Also, she bites.
Sorry this took me so long. Let me know if I need to change anything.
