POWER DESCRIPTIONS

Sebastene is not very practiced with her powers. While she can keep them under-control for a time, a strong emotion may cause her to suddenly shift. Her shapeshifting ability enables her to transform into any animal that hasn't gone extinct, so Bengal Tiger can be done, but she cannot morph into a Caspian Tiger. She can also tap into their abilities to an extent, by morphing only part way. However, this isn't a sure thing, so she may attempt to morph just the eyes of an eagle and also may sprout a beak, feathers, or talons. Her forewarning is fairly weak, as she isn't trained in it at all. At times she will have dreams that show her a possible future if things keep going as they are, while others may only be a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

APPEARANCE

Despite being fairly active and athletic, Sebastene is rather thin, and scrawny, with little in the way of assets. Her skin is pale like milk, and burns easily despite wearing copious amounts of sunblock. She has brilliantly colored orange-red hair that she can't be bothered to maintain, so she just chops it off when it gets too long, resulting in it being uneven and rather messy. Her eyes, a bright gold, pop against her otherwise minimal color palette. She has been called fairy-like before, with thin, elegant features and long fingers. At 5'1", she is hardly intimidating.

PERSONALITY

Ten is very quiet, speaking so quietly that her voice goes raspy. She doesn't make eye-contact much, preferring to stare at the floor. However, if you get her to talk about something she's interested in, such as animals or certain books, she will go off on tangents, rambling until she catches herself or someone points it out.

However, once you've gained her trust and befriended her, you'd have to look far and wide to find someone more loyal.

BIOGRAPHY

Ten was born into a large family, with four older siblings. She and her two sisters didn't get along well, if at all, but she had a close bond with the oldest brother, Richie. They all lived together in a small apartment, the three girls sharing a room, her brothers in their own room, while her parents slept on a futon in the living room.

When she was in elementary school, on what seemed like a normal day, she and her siblings headed off to school. A sense of foreboding came over her, and she begged and pleaded to stay home. Her parents, who weren't special in any way, sent them off anyways. However, in an adjacent apartment, a tenant fell asleep with a candle burning. It fell over, and set the building ablaze.

Police officers collected Ten and her siblings from their schools, and they were put into the foster system.

It is nearly impossible to keep four kids together in the foster system. As they were switched between homes, they eventually feel out of contact. Ten stayed in contact with Ritchie the longest, but eventually even they stopped talking.

Sebastene was switched between homes often, often staying in a foster home no more than a handful of months before being sent on to the next one. Eventually, they all began to blur together.

She began to shapeshift at 14, scaring herself half to death and resulting in her current foster family attempting an exorcism. For a year and a half, she was unable to control her shifting, and fought to get it under control.

She was put into a home that was a single man, who also had powers. He helped her get her shapeshifting under control, and now she only loses control when experiencing extreme emotions. As a rather placid person, this doesn't cause much of an issue. He pointed her in the direction of the academy.
