Powers:
Light Transformation. Elina has the ability to transform herself into a ball of light. Typically about the size of a tennis ball. She is able to change her brightest level, going as bright as 1300 lumens or as 5 lumens. In this state she is able to fit into small spaces, eg Key holes but not throw actual matter.
Power Limitations:
She is unable to communicate in this state, however she can still hear/perceive her surroundings .
Elina is only able to sustain her light form for 30 minutes at a time (she’d need a recovery period of about a hour is she pushes herself to far to maintain the form) Given her own sense of vertigo Elina is only able to climb to heights of about four stories before she freaks out and has to come back to a closer distance. She still requires an oxygenated environment in order to survive.
Hobbies and Interests:
Given her upbringing Elina does have a fondness for finer things, art, history, classic literature. She plays the flute, horse riding, fencing & archery.. with her parents being who they are she does have a lot of experience in physical combat, weapons and endurance training (mostly relating to gymnastics and track) But Elina does like the typical, movies, going shopping and hanging out with friends.
Background:
Elina parents met during a charity event held by the Natchios Foundation. It was a rather long and inconsistent courtship before they finally settled down (neither really in a hurry to give up being
‘heroes’).
She was lucky in her upbringing, with both parents well off she wanted for nothing, the best schools, the best homes. Elina didn’t think her life was any different from most children, it seemed normal that
weapons were kept in the house, that security be so very tight. It wasn’t until she was much older that
Elina learnt how different things were. That what her dad could do was different, and when she was ten her parents sat her down and told her exactly what they had done before she was born. Elina doesn’t remember what they said being a shock, but she often wondered just how much of that had to do with how they’d raised her. To be careful, to be prepared. Her first change happened when she was fourteen, a terrifying experience that took both her parents calm voices and patients to unlock the part inside her and regain physical form. She wasn’t sure if her mother was disappointed or not. While her father was amazing about the whole affair and kept telling her how proud he was, that she was ‘his shining light’ her mother was very quiet for days after it had happened. Elina felt like she’d done something wrong, though Elektra explained that she was simply worried ‘for her’ things have never really felt the same since. If Elina thought her social circle had been small before the change it was after, not able to go anywhere un attended. Growing tired of this Elina nad her mother started to fight before it finaly came out that Elektra had hoped that when Elina power surfaced they would be like her fathers, something that she could use to protect herself, not a ‘cute ball of sun shine’ hurt Elina locked herself in her room until her father came home. He petted and held her, trying to explain why her safety was so important to her mother, that having died herself Elketra didn’t want that for her daughter. That was why they had taught her how to fight. Over time things got better, no one tried to take her, there were a few ‘accidental’ shifts but thigns went back to normal. Elina resumed school and things were fine. Until she saw the news about the school, and than David grey came and bought the sais from the foundation. After a while of thinking Elina finally asked if she could go to Grey’s Institute, since if she was going to be safe anywhere it was with the x-men. It took a lot of convincing but finally, mostly due to her father’s help Elina has finally been allowed to enroll at the school. Personality: Like her mother she has an under lying strength, the same sort of about her, a women who can walk quietly into a room and the room notices her. She is stubborn, feisty and direct. She is also protective of her family and friends and has high moral standards. Knowing her mother and fathers past Elina is extremely protective of her family, even putting herself in harm’s way before she’d let anything happen to
them. However she is only really that reckless when it has to do with her friends and family, normally she the more responsible person in the group, grounded and sensible.
Elina is smart and a little manipulative/self-righteous (but that’s her mother’s fault) She is strong because she's been through a hell of a lot. She is very mature and responsible for her age. Getting the more passionate side from her father; Elina is also very loving and caring. She feels the pain of those around her, she wants to fix everything. She would die willingly for all the people she loves because they're important to her.
