Full Name: Selena Bravo
Age: 16
Appearance: Spunky, tough, and ready for anything that comes to her. Selena likes modern day clothing, from cut-up t-shirts, to jeans with bleached stains or ripped holes. Any t-shirt with a red heart as the design is always her favorite. In fact, her short, tight black t-shirt with an angelic heart picture is her favorite, along with her dark blue skinny jeans. This is usually what she wears on a daily basis. Black military-style boots are also her preferred shoes, and she wouldn't leave the house without them.
Her natural hair color is dark brown, but currently she has it dyed lighter because it "reflects the sun". She has a green streak in front, which is visible to the side. The length of her hair is a bit past the shoulders, and prefers to leave it loose rather than style it in a different manner. The length of her bangs cover most of her face, but leaves one eye out to see the world.
Physically, she is tall…about 5'7 at least. Weighing at around 125 pounds and has a pale white skin tone. She is athletic, keeping her body in shape by exercising. She is nicknamed "Plant" because of her emerald green eyes and soon, her unusual ability.
History: Selena was born in Madrid, Spain, and was immigrated to Mexicali, Baja California Mexico when she was just 10 years old. She is an only child and her parents were just 18 and attending University when she was born. Today, her parents are both doctors in Spain, and as they decided to give Selena a better life, they decided to send her off to live with her grandparents, who are also medical workers. Her grandparents couldn't afford to put Selena in a private school to get a better education, in hopes of her becoming a nurse or a doctor. She stayed in public school for most of her childhood. She was gratefully exposed to music, and plants, and had her sight set on becoming a Botanist when she grows up.
When she was 13 years old and starting her third year of high school (equivalent to Junior High/Middle School in the US), she began to notice something odd to her body. She thought that she might be going through a puberty stage at first, but she noticed that she was getting so many headaches when she was inside the classroom for a long period of time. She also realized that she wasn't drinking as much water. Selena went to the clinic to see what was going on, and the doctor diagnosed her with dehydration. She was now required to go outside for a certain period and to drink two liters of water a day. But the condition never went away, and felt that it was something more severe.
One lunch day, she encountered a female bully who wanted to fight her. The bully kept calling her names, telling her that she was ugly and didn't deserve to live in the world. Until her temper rose to her limit, she decided to fight her. One punch of poison from her arms was delivered from her hot-tempered body. She also noticed that her wrists had vines coming out, stretchable enough to strangle the girl. The whole student body were frightened at Selena, and after that fateful day she decided to not show up to school again. Her grandparents agreed, and decided to homeschool her.
She wasn't aware of what has happened to her. In every plant she got near, depending on her mood, she would either revive it or kill it. She can grow trees in less than 10 seconds, plants and flower beds in less than a minute. She even has the ability to revive dead plants. But, in connection to her dehydration problems, she realized that she was a "human plant" unaware of where or whom she retrieved it from.
Now at 16, and finally has the capability of a college/high school student, her grandparents gave her a brochure of Glided Halls, a boarding school in England. They commented that her parents live several miles from the school and they felt that it was time to send her back to Europe. As much as she didn't want to go to school in Mexicali ever again, she accepts the offer. What Selena was unaware, that her grandparents are sending her to a school for teenagers at or around the same age as her with unusual abilities and gifts. They knew that she had the capability to control landscaping, but they didn't want to make it seem obnoxious.
Ability name: Plant Manipulation
Explanation: Selena has the ability to control anything that grows in the ground. Plants, flowers, trees, fruits and vegetables, etc. If it has roots, she will make it grow. She also has the ability to sprout a vine from both of her wrists, whether she needs to reach something far, or just because. But, her friendly vines can turn poisonous if she's in a bad mood, and those vines can sometimes be lethal if the person infected isn't treated promptly. Selena tries her best to control her mood as much as possible, as since the day she was bullied in high school, she couldn't control her anger at all.
Limitations:
~must acquire at least 7-8 hours of sunlight
~must drink up to 4 liters of water a day
~If in a bad mood, her plants will turn poisonous and will attack anyone at random. These bursts of anger cannot be uncontrolled until Selena makes contact with a human being.
~vines can only stretch from her wrists to her feet if dehydrated.
Room Number: whichever available is okay!
