Aleu Kalani

[Aleu Kalani]

Aleu Rose Kalani
FACE CLAIM: Mimi Elashiry

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: 17
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: Bellefonte Student

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Plant Communication (and Manipulation)
Aleu is able to communicate and partially control plant life. Her main ability to communicate with natural, living plants. She is able to communicate with anything living, provided she is able to maintain physical contact with the organism. The plants do not talk in any spoken language, but rather through raw emotions and pictures, which are shared to Aleu's mind through the link she creates.

Her secondary power is plant manipulation, which is reserved entirely to the growth of plants. Aleu cannot force plants to die or procreate; only grow. In order to use this ability she must have physical contact with the soil, or plant she is trying to influence. The plant or flowers saps Aleu's own energy in order to grow, and as such the activity is quite exhausting. In a similar way she can use her energy to heal or repair sick plants.
One thing that she cannot grow are trees. While Aleu can speak with the entities, they are too large for her to have a direct influence on. If she were to try feeding her energy into a tree, it would simply suck it all away without any change to its size or health.

LIMITATIONS:
- Aleu needs direct contact with a tree or plant in order to communicate with it. She also has no way of turning the power 'off'. If she accidentally brushes against an organism she will be assaulted with unbidden emotions or images.

- If the flower is dead or 'picked' (in a vase) she cannot talk to it.

- She has to have some kind of contact with soil/ground in order to grow new plants

- Cannot grow trees

- Cannot change the proportions of plants. For example, she cannot grow giant venus flytraps or daffodils.

- Growing plants feeds off her own energy and as such there is a limit to how much she can share before starting to suffer from exhaustion

SIDE-EFFECTS:
- Almost like a plant herself, Aleu eats a diet of only organic foods or foods with high sugar levels. She basically survives on peaches and fizzy drinks.

- Communicating with organisms within her head often leaves Aleu with a headache

- Aleu spends so much time communicating with plants in a sensory manner that she often finds it difficult to effectively communicate or empathize with humans afterwards.

- Growing plants feeds off her own energy and as such Aleu commonly suffers from exhaustion, and in some cases migraines after a growing session

Dear Diary,

Do I capatalize diary? You're not a person.
Not offense Diary.
Oh I did it again. You know what? I'll name you Brad. That will make this less weird I think.

May 18th, 2010

Dear Brad,

I was wrong, this is still weird. You're kind of creeping me out so I'm going to chuck you in that little shed Dad has in the backyard.
Just letting you know. It was cool while it lasted.
Later bro ♥

August 18th, 2013

Long time no see Brad. I guess we're both in the shed now. I can't believe you survived this long.
Something strange happened to me yesterday Brad. I killed my strawberry plant. I mean, I didn't do that yesterday, it takes more than one day to kill a plant, God Brad. But yesterday I noticed and I started crying. Don't laugh Brad, it was tragic.
I took the plant outside and buried it right next to this shed. Father came out to yell at me for not having dinner ready and right in front of me the strawberry plant burst out of the ground! It even had a little strawberry growing on it. That's all I remember, then I fainted and woke up here.

The shed is smaller than I imagined. I don't know why but the door is locked and Father didn't come when I banged on the door. I hope he finds something to cook for dinner because I don't think I'll get out of here in time.

August 19th, 2013

I think Father is scared of me.

There's a little hole in the roof where I can see the sky, but I can't see outside. The strawberry plant must have kept growing because some of the leaves were pushing through the walls this morning. I touched them and tried to remember what happened last time, then I cried again because nothing happened.
I'm getting pretty hungry so I hope Father gets over his fear soon.

August 20th, 2013

There are strawberries in the shed! I'm sure it was me who did that!
They tasted so good, but I only had two. I can't eat them all yet, just in case my magic (I HAVE MAGIC1) stops working and I can't grow anymore.

August 21st, 2013

It started raining and the hole in the roof is letting in all the water. I hope it doesn't flood. I'm going to put you on the shelf so you don't get wet Brad.

August 23rd, 2013

It's pretty weird that we have a shed in the backyard with nothing in it. I'd never really come in here before now.
Last night I found a bucket in the corner and put it under the hole. I'd forgotten how thirsty I was.
I smell so bad Brad. So bad.
I think I'll spend today calling for Father, just in case he's forgotten I'm here.

August , 2013

It's been a few days, sorry Brad. I don't really remember anymore.
The water ran out yesterday. I'm pretty good at growing strawberries now, but I think if I even see one more I'm going to be sick.
I can't get out.

August

The corner where the rain came in is starting to grow moss.

August

I was wondering if I could do moss like the strawberry thing and I did and now there's moss everywhere. It's kinda damp but now I have a bed. I think I'd like a nice long sleep

--

The door is shaking Brad, pretty bad, and I heard voices on the other side. I don't think this is what they meant in that song 'Knockin on Heaven's Door'. I tried to say that I wasn't fit for company and maybe to come back when I'd had time to tidy up the place, but my voice doesn't seem to work anymore.

I know we didn't make a suicide pact brad, but if this is Heaven knocking, I'm taking you with me.

September 3rd, 2013

Well, it wasn't Heaven Brad.
I think I'm still a little unsure who it is. Magic people like me, I guess. I don't really remember much, but I'm going to tell you what I do, just in case I forget that too.

There two strange men burst into my shed and bundled me up. I remember I was screaming and fighting, I refused to leave until they'd dug up my strawberry plant. If you look to your left Brad, you'll see it beside our bed. Yeah Brad, we have a bed now.
Or I do. Sorry Brad, but I don't think I want to be a harlot.

We're in a place called Bellefonte Academy. A school! Can you believe it? A real school; a magic school even. Apparently they'll teach me how to do more plant things here.

They told me that my father had run away. He'd locked me in the shed and run away. I guess I couldn't blame him; his daughter was a freak. The people that found me (they call themselves 'Recruiters') said it took them almost two weeks, and that I was very brave. Can you imagine Brad? We were locked up together for nearly two weeks, and you never did anything untoward. How noble of you. Or am I just that ugly?

Is brown hair not your type? Rude.
I know I'm not very tall, but you're a diary Brad, I don't think you get to have standards. And I'm even wearing nice clothes now. I hope I get to keep them. Though, I don't have any money, and I don't think Father will lend me any if I find him to ask. If I could find him.

I think I might stay here Brad, maybe just for a little while. We don't really have anywhere else to go, do we?

September 3rd, 2014

Still here.

September 3rd, 2015

Still here.

September 3rd, 2016

I think we're going to be ok now.
