Lapin Blanc
Puppeteer Extraordinaire
Age: 15
Appearance: Lapin has a pretty agile body which has speed written all over it. Her legs are long and her overall body is slim, maybe even a little too slim for your liking. This gives her the appearance of a tall lady. Her fingers and hands, in contrast to her legs, are pretty weak and are unable to carry heavy items and if it wasn't obvious already, the girl has a thing for running races and is pretty confident in her ability to both sprint and do long distance. She has a lot of stamina, just saying.
Her hair, is actually white and not gray. Say it's gray and she'll slap you clean across the face and basically say you're rude for calling her an old lady. Eyes are a pretty creepy red and, like her her parents had planned it, the white hair and red eyes make her seem exactly like a white rabbit which compliments her speed. Weird.
For attire, she usually slaps on her favourite purple shirt and a white skirt. Don't even ask her about her clothing choice and the only thing that really changes is the outside layer which varies from a jacket, hoodie, jumper or maybe the odd scarf. Lapin doesn't really spend that much time picking out an outfit or even doing her hair. She gets out of bed, slaps on the first things she sees and gets the hell out of there. If its cold, she'll steal the first thing available, even if its not hers. ...That's probably why her outer layers are so different all the time.
History: Lapin was trained to run like the wind. Her father was a sports trainer and instructor whilst her mother was a pretty supportive gymnast. Yep, her family had sport written all over it and smarts... were definitely not at the top of their list. The Blancs had been relying on their physical skills and talents to get them through the year and education was one of their lesser tended to priorities. To keep fit, the family eat a varied diet chock full of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates... everything. Don't ever ask Lapin to cook for you unless you want some tasteless gloop of vegetables and whatever the heck goes into that pot. Of course, the family would of been fine if it hadn't been due to the fact that society decided that staying inside was the new trend and no one wanted to exercise anymore. Now, they mainly rely on Lapin's running skills to win races and to grab prize money. These races and their prize money usually last the family about half a year with about ten bucks left for savings. The Blancs sure are a 'smart' bunch.
No one ever knew Lapin had a thing for manipulation. I mean, the girl herself didn't even know it. Still, one day, whilst in a tough race, Lapin's opponents were gaining on her and, to her surprise, with a simple particular rude gesture and a glare, he was pushed back to the end of line and eventually, far far away from the track itself. Lapin won of course, keeping her family fed for another six months but she was utterly confused about what happened back there. So, she decided to forget about it like the Blancs so often did when faced in strange situations.
That is, she thought she could forget about it. Gilded Halls is now the definition of Lapin's nightmare.
Ability Name: Puppetry
Explanation: Lapin, somehow, gained the ability to manipulate both inanimate objects and animate objects to her will. With a simple hand gesture and the odd look or two, she can send you running away, jumping or even rolling about. The trick is, she can only manipulate the joints to what they can do. She cannot send a person flying in the air or make your head turn circles. ...Unless she wants to kill and she's trying really really hard but I think glaring at someone for hours would hurt after a while. Still, flying is a no go. If your body can't handle it, Lapin can't force it out of you.
Limitations:
- Lapin can only manipulate three animate objects at a time. Animate objects being living things.
- She can only manipulate ten joints/ inanimate objects at a time. Ten fingers, ten joints.
- She MUST of had eye contact with the animate object or seen the inanimate object at least a second before using Puppetry
- The 'strings' can be cut by anything sharp but, only Lapin can see them.
- The Puppetry lasts about ten minutes on animate objects and an hour on inanimate objects. Even after this limit is up, she must wait at least five minutes before attempting the next manipulation.
- Lapin needs a high amount of concentration
or be feeling really pissed to do Puppetry. Distraction is her worst enemy here.
Currently, Lapin can only control one or two joints and has no idea about how her ability works at all, let alone even know she can do it. This girl has her work cut out for her.
