Powers: Yaara is capable of perceiving the location and abilities of living creatures around her. At its most general level, Yaara is constantly aware of the presence of animal, human, or mutant life near her, in or out of sightline.

With concentration, she can track the exact movements of the living creatures in a fifty yard radius around her--their positions, their direction of movement, their speed. She has trained to eliminate distractions from her radar (animals most frequently) and even bring her focus down on the exact movements of a small number of individuals

Her honed-in tracking allows her to track and predict movements in hand-to-hand combat, even with her vision compromised. In an interrogation situation, Yaara has trained use her honed-in tracking to detect subtle signs of emotion--especially fear, honesty, duress.

If she knows an individual's signature well, from sustained personal interaction, she can identify and track them any time they are within her sphere of awareness. The more physically intense the personal interaction (like intercourse or close combat), the more quickly she can gain familiarity with their signature. Without continued interaction, she may lose the scent.

When she comes in direct physical contact with another mutant, she is able to perceive the general spirit of their ability, though not the exact details. (She may know that an ability is fire-related, but not whether it's combustion or control, or how long the ability can be sustained.)

Power Limitations: If Yaara applies sustained concentration to her ability for longer than ten minute intervals, she begins to experience lightheadedness that grows into headaches. Taking breaks, or only checking in on her extrasensory ability periodically rather than sustaining it, minimize the headaches.

The more she hones her focus in, the more aware she becomes. She can be highly aware of the exact movements of one individual, up to being able to predict them, but she has to rely on a blend of her tracking and her experience to be able to keep up with more than one person.

To track a known individual's signature, she needs that sustained personal interaction. While it's easier to pick up on the signature of someone she's been able to track in the past, it isn't instantaneous. 

Hobbies and Interests: Yaara is a Mossad-trained assassin and spy, familiar with the art of killing and advanced interrogation techniques. She knows several languages--especially Hebrew, Arabic, and English. She has a familiarity with firearms but is more comfortable with close combat. She's all for learning new fighting styles. She also likes poetry about nature. Her favorite English poem is "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Sara Teasdale.
