Powers: Wen’s powers fall into two parts. Necroplasmic manipulation: Wen has the ability to summon necroplasmic residue left behind by the death of living beings and manifest them as ghost-like entities to do her bidding. The psychic manifestations she summons are transparent and float about like traditional ghosts, as well as possess the ability to become tangible or intangible upon will. The second part is Mediumship: She is able to ‘hear’ and ‘see’ ‘souls’ that still wonder the plains.
Power Limitations: However, the downside of her powers is that she shares some type of empathic link with the apparitions, feeling their pain if they are wounded. She is only able to maintain an aperiction for around 15 mins. Though that depends greatly on their size, the bigger the short the time she can hold them, but small ones she can sometimes maintain for an hour.
How ‘strong’ the apparition is (how tangible) depends on how much ‘residue’ is around. The ghost she can ‘create’ are not ones of ‘real’ people. In fact she will often burn out ‘souls’ she uses to build her creations.
While Wen calls the shadows of ‘real’ people souls they are just left over residue and retain little but pale impressions of their living existence. ie: appearance, general personality traits, minimal if any memories.
Hobbies and Interests: Archery, Horse riding, Reading, Movies, Music (she has a small thing for country songs, but mostly she likes indie rock)
Background: Wenona was born and raised on her family’s ranch outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. While Wen was an only child both her parents, her extended family was massive to the point often Wen didn’t know who was blood and who was just part of the Nation. She was happy bright child, many friends and a love of both cultures. Wen was always an outdoors girl and would spend much of her time after school running around. Being alone sometimes it wasn’t uncommon for Wen to have imaginary friends when she was away from the extended family. Both her parents encouraged the wild stories she’d tell about her days adventures. But once Wen got to the age of 12, she began showing signs of her mutant powers things changed. Out in public one day, Wen started a scene when she started talking about seeing people that weren’t there. At first this was something her parents ignored and quietly discouraged until she started talking about seeing car crash victims, and people’s dead spouses and ghosts in town.
Thinking more socializing would help Wen was often sent off to spend more time with kids her own age. But would be sent home time and time again as she scared the other children. Not sure what to do and now becoming hostile to their daughter cries for attention, Wen was sent off to see a psychiatrist at 13. After a few sessions the medication started, six months later to no effect Wen was put into care. She was called a liar and not to make up stories, despite the fact she wasn’t. After a few months Wen started doubting her own mind, at 14 and in the darkest place she’d been Wen wanted a friend and created a form out of the energies around her. Her doctors didn’t believe her until Wen made a friend in their office. Now clear that Wen was a mutant the doctors wanted her parents to remove Wen from care.
Embarrassed and ashamed that they hadn’t known things at home weren’t much better, her powers disturbed her mother and it was decided that it was better to send Wen to the mutant school where they wouldn’t have to deal with her guilt and shame.
Personality: One might say that Wenona comes off as a tad bit shy, or is a loner, which can be the case (sometimes), but when in her circle of friends Wen is highly social and loves to interact with other people. She is very open minded and willing to try new things. Her humble, caring, and loving persona makes anyone that gets to know her feel as if they known her their whole life. Wen is also a very determined girl, that if she starts something she has to finish it right then and there, otherwise she'll end up putting that project on hold until the last minute- which is something she hates doing.
However, though Wenona has this sweet and caring personality of which she likes to live by, she can also be as dark as the shadows it seems that she basks herself in. If she finds herself in a position of being bullied or teased she will act upon that the only way she knows how. After many years of being teased and bullied, she will now stand up for herself and deal with the situation however best she see's fit.
For many of the year years of her powers development Wen was deemed unstable and taken into care, her sense bruised and she learnt not to trust her own eyes. The scars of rejection and damage are present though it is something she keeps buried.
More often her need for distance is her trying to channel feelings bought on by her powers. Although, some situations may cause her to bottle up her emotions, and she will try to ignore what is being thrown her way.
