FACE CLAIM: Make sure to check the claims.

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: 11 years old

♦ THE ABILITY ♦


POWER: Animal morphing (fox):
Nell's chief ability is the ability to transform into a fox,  to do this voluntarily takes all of her concentration and she hasn't mastered shifting back and forth between forms.  So far maintaining her human form is the tricky part. When she shifts from human to fox her whole body shrinks losing weight mass and size until she is only about 15 in tall at the shoulders. Her tail and ears scale properly to her body size. Her tail is nearly as long as to be able to touch her shoulders.


LIMITATIONS:



This should balance your power out to make sure it's not too overpowered. This could include a range of your ability, what the power is immune against, how many times and for how long the ability can be used - and counter the good points with weak ones.



SIDE-EFFECTS:

Semi nocturnal sleeping pattern during most of the day

Bone deep aches sometimes when she overdoes it in gym class

Fragile bones

♦ THE HISTORY ♦


Nellie was born to an unknown teenage mother; she was given up for adoption at birth. Her adoptive mother is Catherine Martin who was a single mother to her. Nell had many sitters growing up as her mother worked hard to support her. Nell’s full name is Eleanora Elizabeth Martin but her mother only uses it when she is in trouble. Only once in a while does she get in trouble enough to use it. Most of the time she is called Nell or Nellie and she doesn’t actually have a preference which people use. She was named after her mother’s favorite grandmother Eleanor Marsh. That great grandmother died when Nell was very little, so she doesn't remember her. Nell doesn’t know that she is adopted, it is kept a secret from her because Catherine doesn’t know how to tell her.

Nell's Elementary school was a fun place, she enjoyed her classes her classmates not as much. She got solid B's in most of her classes including Math and English. The school was a local private elementary school. A shy child Nell didn't have many friends spending most of her time reading or playing quietly. Being small for her age, some children could be cruel and tease her. Pulling her hair or making fun of her is usually how far they'd go.

Eleanora learned that she was a mutant only a few weeks ago after a nasty illness. She had been sick for a few days with a stomach bug and her mother kept her home to keep an eye on her. Nell was sleeping off her latest bout of illness, as her body changed for the first time. She shape shifted in her sleep and woke up as a still sick fox kit. Nell yelped and whine tying to call for her mother, surprise to see paws instead of hands. Her mother came in to find out what the noise was and found an animal in her daughter’s bed and wearing her nightgown.

Frightened by her mother’s reaction, her mother was understandably freaking out. A confused Nell let the fox’s instinct to flee guide her away. She scrambled and leaped out her open window which was thankfully on the ground floor. In her struggles she tore her way out of her nightgown but didn’t care. All that matter was she need to find somewhere safe to hide.That was an instinct drawn from the fox's mind to take care of itself.

She ran a couple hundred feet into the woods that backed their house and curled up in a pile of dead leaves. Trying to calm down Nell trembled, wondering how she got into this mess and how to fix it. She started crying in her confusion and it turned into a whining whimper. It was late but she could see very well in the dark. Nell wondered if she could will herself to turn back, so she tried... and failed. What ever had turn her into a fox didn't work by her willing herself into it apparently. Closing her eyes she went back to sleep too frightened to move.

Opening her eyes a few hours later she looked down at where her hands should be. She still had paws but she was feeling better. Nell was hungry and thirsty. Sitting up Nell shook off the leaves, she smelled water and fallowed her nose to have a drink of water. Her stomach growled and her instincts took over the next thing she knew Nell was chasing a squirrel through the underbrush. It escaped her when it ran up a tree and she was left hungry.

Turning around she tried to head home, smelling her path back. Wandering into her backyard looking for food. A part of her felt wary and on guard feeling danger was very near. Creeping up to the patio she saw a bowl of food left out, in a spare bowl that her mother kept to feed the barn cats of the neighborhood in the winter. She ate the food quickly stopping every few moments to look around.

Her mother SAT inside with two people talking at the kitchen table. Nell could see her mother from where she sat on the patio beside the now empty bowl. Getting up her courage Nellie walked up to the screen door and scratched at it. Her mother jumped but opened the screen door for her fox form.Nell lay down by herself in a quiet corner to listen to what the people said. The two people were a man and a woman, and they talked softly to her mother. Nell couldn't really understand what they were saying but they were calm and they didn't feel threatening.

Nell saw her mother nod, looking at the information she had spread out on the table. Nell found that she couldn't really understand English in her current form. But she read things about the adults in the room, her mother was worried and concerned. The man smiled as he talked about what was on the table. The woman next to him got up and sat on the floor a little bit away from her.

Nell jumped and looked around, she had felt a thought float through her mind. Another thought float through and it said that the woman's name was Nora and she was kind of a telepath. Nora graduated to her partner and told Nell his name was Gab short for Gabriel. They had come to talk to her mother and to find her. Mother had apparently called the police when she wasn't in her bed and they had called the place Nora worked for. Nell shrank down trying to hide in the floor. She would be in trouble and the police would be looking for her when she was safe in her kitchen. Nora said that the police would be happy she was safe and that she and gab were called in because they had talents that were usually used to find lost children.

They were mutants and so was Nell and they wanted her to come to there school. It was a safe place to learn about her self and it would keep her safe from those who would hurt her. Bellefonte academy was designed to protect children and young adults, in Nell's case she apparently could turn into a fox. Nora asked if she could turn back and Nell told her she didn't know how. Nell honestly tried but nothing happened. Nora told her not to worry about that. It would work itself out, it usually did.

In the meantime Gab was talking to her mother having her sign various papers. Nora explained that her mother had agreed to send her to the Academy to learn what they could teach her until she had her abilities under control or she graduated high school. That seemed like a life time way, Nell not even being in middle school yet. She was told that she was scheduled to start in two weeks once her mother got the paperwork to her old school district and gave her two weeks notice at her job. Apparently Catherine was moving to the town out the Academy to be closer to Nell. It would take a bit to sell there house though.
