[/i][/size][/right]Have you ever felt that your own reflection was not your own?That somehow, somewhere in another world you were not yourself, more than just a ghostly decoy? Every time you approach your vanity in the mirror does the feeling of being watched trickle down your spine ...as if your very reflection had become possessed? That the very appearance of your being was now mocking you, conspiring against you and...haunting you. That my friends is the power of Evony VasilievThe Basics
Name: Evony Vasiliev
Nicknames: Evy, Blue Bird or 'The Amazing Mirror Girl'
Age: 17
Orientation: Bisexual
Desired Rank/Job: student
Powers: Reflection Manipulation. With this power Evony is capable of entering and exiting reflective surfaces such as mirrors, metals and water in what could only be described as a temporal intangible state. She cannot control the physical properties of the surfaces she enters but can manipulate what goes on past the reflection, i.e. assume the appearance of a person within the reflective surface. When utilising this power Evony cannot be harmed nor can she physically touch another, however she can easily insight terror with her power by disfiguring or contorting the reflections within. She can teleport via any reflective surface to anywhere with an reflection, be it glass, metal or water. For this 'mirror jumping' to work there must always be a reflective surface in 250 yard diameter from the reflection where she entered, the size of the reflection does not necessarily matter but the smallest space she can occupy would roughly be around the size of a metal spoon.
Pros:
- Completely untouchable when occupying a reflective surface. She does not require oxygen, nutrition or water in the 'Reflective World' due to her intangible state.
- Makes spying, espionage and escaping a lot more easier, assuming the 'appearance' of a person using the mirror can give Evony a clear grasp of their behaviour and habits all while doing it in the safety of the untouchable plane.
- Travelling from place to place is exceptionally easy due to the mirror jumping
- Can be used for a form of dimensional storage and is mainly for safe keeping, she can summon items back with relative ease, however size dictates that the object must actually fit through the mirrored surface.
Cons:
- If Evony stays in the 'Reflective world' for too long she may begin to lose track of what is reality and what is mirrored. At the moment she can only embody reflective surfaces for twenty minutes max.
- Since her subconscious is so intrinsically linked to her power she can sometimes enter the 'Reflective world' in her sleep by accident.
- Returning from the 'Reflective World' does make Evony dizzy and somewhat disorientated, a few minutes need to pass before she can properly utilise the power again.
- If she occupies a reflective surface with a powerful psychic on the other side her powers may get disrupted by their own abilities.

The Details
Hair Color: Currently Purple-blue (naturally light brown)
Eye Color: Cerulean
Any Piercings? Ears, tongue and naval
Any Tattoos? Circus tattoo on her wrist. Symbol is the triquetra, in the form of a single snake.
Any Scars? A single scarlet scar that runs down the length of her left calf down to her foot, it is light pink in coloration and totally hardcore.
General Appearance: Standing at roughly 5"2' and weighing little over 90 lbs, Evony is the very definition of petite and lightweight, a quirky pixie of a girl. Her skin is a supple porcelain, smooth and warm to touch. Shimmering Cerulean irises are the focal point of her admittedly beautiful face, although she does tend to wear contacts for the fun of it. Her peachy lips, whilst soft and adorable are almost always curled into cheeky grin or an amused sneer, her button nose only adding an extra layer of sassy attractiveness to her girly visage. Her doe shaped face, with the natural blush that adorn her pointed cheeks, coupled with the uniquely coloured hair she has garned a reputation for being a troublemaker like none other.
As a result of her years of acrobatics and free running she had attained a healthy physique, one fitting of her stature which granted her flexibility and lean muscles even though she still appears dainty and harmless. Her perky breasts, often used to woo her 'victims', are her pride and joy, a rather amusing stance considering they are only B cups. Evony's slender, toned midsection forms into a well shaped buttocks and lithe skinny legs. Her hands and feet relatively dainty and petite, almost always moisturised and manicured.
Evony's personal style ranges from pretty, dainty outfits to more dark, skin tight practical ones for when she's out wrecking mischief. Whilst neither are necessarily mutually exclusive, Evony prefers to stick to darker colours when thieving, more often than not wearing a scarf to cover the lower half of her face. Her purple-blue hair is usually tied into loose pigtails, a testament to how lazy she is in regards to such a minor thing and has a habit of getting frizzy whilst wet. Fortunately for the teenager she only needs to wear little makeup, her facial features already in near-perfect symmetry and with enough colour to insight the infatuation of those who see her. Lip gloss and eyeliner are her usual 'go-to' pieces of cosmetics and it is only during special events will she get noticeably dolled up.
A usual everyday outfit would be light coloured, well fitted pieces of clothing that contort to the natural curves of her body but also give her body moving room. She is primarily seen with her standard knee length dress, scarf, stockings and flats if she is bothered to really dress up...if not she'll usually travel around barefoot for ease of movement and to show off her pedicures. Jewellery, that was never here to begin with, adorns her neck, wrists, ankles and digits not only as a sign of a successful 'hunt' but also a clear indication that she has style. Evony obsesses over her nails, ensuring that her fingers and toes are always properly shaped and coloured, an obsession which she'll gladly share with her friends.
Personality: A sassy troublemaker who hides her insecurities underneath a stubborn and trouble-making facade, one whose problematic past still haunt her even in her years into adulthood. Evony is an ambitious teenager with a passion for money and the thrill of the 'search', accepting any challenge that comes along her way that will result in her gaining more wealth or objects of value. Her love of money stems from her childhood, where she lived a poor life and was often upset at having little wealth despite the love of her adopted father. This inner conflict she has is a highly powerful factor with regards to her life as a professional burglar, often ignoring the consequences of her actions for the mere gain at the end. Due to her high regard of monetary things she often goes into complete horror whenever her friends waste money (which is rather hypocritical since she too spends it when she has it) or pass up an opportunity to get it.
Evony has a sharp tongue and a wily mind, speaking her thoughts when she wants to and never allowing anyone else to dictate her beliefs. She is incredibly stubborn, using her words as weapons to defend her actions and make anyone criticising her look like mere fools for doing so. By utilising her rather sassy nature and sharp mind Evony is easily capable of escaping danger as much as she is starting it, often provoking people for the fun of it. She takes delight in her unique power, never missing an opportunity to show them off in situations against her enemies and friends. This can be clearly linked to her upbringing as an orphan, where she desperately craved attention and recognition. This is what led her to develop her powers, and to a lesser extent her acrobatics, in the first place, as well as her running away to join various gangs and wandering entertainers. The need to become part of something, to find her worth is a major part of who she is and a possible dictator into her not-so-legal activities. Unsuprisingly these attention issues have also caused her to be a bit of a flirt and this overt niceness extends to both men and women.
Evony is aware of dangers that she could face every day and has a much better understanding of the world and its more dangerous individuals than most people her age. She can be devilish at times and won't think twice about ditching others to save her own life, believing the ends justifies the means. Although on occasions where the lives of her allies and friends are in particular danger she will stand her ground against anyone hurting her comrades, abandoning her otherwise normal routine of trying to stay out of harm's way.
However, in return for her less sympathetic personality traits, she is quick witted, outgoing and compassionate. She is exceedingly sympathetic with people, often forgiving those who have wronged her for the mere fact that not forgiving them would make her a hypocrite. Her troubled upbringing has shaped her perspective on people and their actions and she will often empathise with the actions of those who cause harm to her and her surroundings..believing that there is always a justifiable reason as to why they behave that way. This however is slightly skewed to the more rich and 'elite' of society, people who she deems too lazy and spoilt to even deserve their wealth thus enabling her to steal off them with a clear conscious.
Your Vices
Likes:
- Intimacy - whilst she does not publicise this nor make it known amongst those who have met her, Evony is a girl who craves intimacy, both emotionally and physically. Living a life on the road, constantly moving around has depleted the much needed attention she required as a young girl and any chance at having some form of comfort is always well received.
- Dancing/Acrobatics - Having been educated in the circus for much of her life Evony is an exceptionally talented dancer and acrobat, her graceful lithe movements a joy to watch as they are a fitting excuse to exercise.
- Witty Banter - There's nothing more amusing and time-killing than a bit of snarky word play between two individuals and Evony loves that. She enjoys the wordplay of witty repartee between herself and generally anyone else who can play along, a person who can match her wit is someone she'll respect.
- Money - Living in a life of poverty and the subsequent years as a member of the circus Evony understands the importance of money and just how precious and powerful it can be. She steals for money, works for money and she would even fight for money if it could grant her a chance at feeling the elation of being away from her harsh reality as a street girl.
- Pranks - A guilty little pleasure of Evony's that often gets her and her accomplices in trouble. Whilst there is rarely any sour feelings behind such pranks she will often target those who bully or belittle others, even people who simply annoy her. Her nightmarish illusions in the Reflection World often come into play when pulling mean pranks on people.
- Mani/Pedis - Evony loves her hands and feet, she isn't exactly sure why but her nails are almost always primed to perfection. Every week is a new colour, a new shade and she will never shy away from giving a friend some nail treatment.
Dislikes:
- Chores - Evony has lived a life of freedom and spontaneity, never once stopping to focus on the menial and bland activities of life. Rarely will she ever commit to doing basic chores such as that of a normal person and if she does it would be twisted into a quirky game of sorts.
- Immovability - When stuck in a tight or otherwise hard-to-manouvre area Evony would begin to suffer a mild form of claustrophobia. This dislike for closed spaces is tackled with her constant free running, she is always moving, never wanting to stay in spot for too long for fear of suffocation
- Winter - Whilst snow is always fun to play with and the winter fashion brings a new range of clothing to the foray the negatives simply outweigh the positives for Evony. The Circus Girl dislikes being cold, she dislikes the wet frigid atmosphere and she hates the fact that this particular season forces her to stay indoors much of the time.
- Goody-two-shoes - Although this is a rather silly dislike it does play a big part in how Evony interacts with someone. If said person continually attempts to rewrite her supposed sins or mistakes and constantly lecture her without any care for her opinion then she will more than likely ignore them and disregard their stance on her actions.
- Watermelon - Everyone loves this oversized green and pink ball of stale water except her. Evony has yet to see the allure of watermelons, always finding the fruit more distasteful with every new attempting at trying it. The seeds are unpleasant, the 'taste' is simply bland and the texture is highly overrated.
- Sleeping Alone - Being a street kid with a very legitimate experience in the harshness of living by oneself Evony has an understandable dislike for sleeping by herself. Whilst this doesn't necessarily mean whoever it is that is sleeping with her has to be human (Sometimes a teddy bear or a domesticated animal will do) it is still a welcome change to the cold nights alone.
Strengths:
- Street Smarts - Evony first and foremost was moulded by the harsh environment of the streets, learning at a young age how to defend herself and escape a multitude of troubling situations without much effort. She is well versed in the politics of the criminal underworld and extremely resourceful, easily creating makeshift escape routes and 'weapons'.
- Prime Agility and Dexterity - Trained from a young age to perform as an acrobat Evony learnt the skills of how to properly manoeuvre her body with her centre of balance perfectly aligned. She can go from one motion to another effortlessly, effectively dodge projectiles, swing from things easily, do back-flips and numerous other gravity defying gymnastics.
- Silver Tongue - Combined with the allure of her natural attractiveness and her sharp mind, Evony is quite capable of swaying mentally weak or malleable people with a few sweet words. She is eloquent when she wants to be and extremely sharp with her delivery of words, capable of cutting someone down as well as effortlessly feign innocence whilst toying with peoples emotions.
- Thievery - Whilst this isn't necessarily legal it can be greatly helpful in times of need. Having grown up in the harsh environment of the streets Evony is highly skilled at pickpocketing, vault cracking and lock picking and she never ever leaves a trace of evidence behind, utilising her reflection power to escape.
- Observant - Whilst this by no means covers a metahuman level of perception Evony is extremely disciplined in the art of people watching and lie-detecting. Years as a wily street kid have taught her the tricks of the trade and the girl can easily scope out a anxiety-ridden coward from mile away. Simply watching people go about their daily business when invading reflections gives her even more leverage when wanting to observe.
Weaknesses:
- Stubbornness - whilst this could just be as easily listed under strengths her stubbornness has brought more pain and problems than positives. She is a headstrong individual who staunchly stands by her way of life regardless of what negative consequences there may be, sometimes reason is lost when arguing with Evony and there is no other way around her stubbornness.
- Rebelliousness - Although this has dampened from the discipline of her circus years Evony still has a skewed perspective of controlling authorities and will recoil from most attempts of keeping her boxed. She does, however, respect some elder figures and once her respect is earned then there is little chance of rebellion.
- Fragile - Although she is nigh invincible in the 'Reflection World' Evony is little more than an extra agile teenager in the real world. She is very skinny and lightweight, making physical attacks all teh more damaging.
- Her libido - Puberty is a wonderfully painful transition from child to adult and whilst the physical changes were welcome changes for Evony she did not comprehend the sheer rush of hormones that sway much of her thoughts. She is not slovenly perve but she does not have a problem initiating coitus with another willing participant if it calms her sexual frustration.
- Kleptomania - If Evy sets her sights on something she wants them there's a large chance she'll take it, with or without someone's permission. Her kleptomania is an obsessive impulse which more often than not make her quite reckless with her thievery.
- Mathematics - Seriously! Who likes that subject?
Fears:
- Extended Isolation - There is nothing worse than being solitary for an extended period of time, the need for human interaction spurs the most basic needs for the girl. Evony cannot go more than a day without a conversation or the sight of another human being...anything longer and she'll be put into a spiral of insanity.
- Loveless - The most basic of her fears is living a life without love and affection, one where she would never taste the sweet revelation of a true relationship or experience the touch of a lover. Whilst he would vehemently deny such a claim she is absolutely terrified thats she'll grow up old and alone without someone by her side.
Secret:
- Evony enjoys gambling, and she very good at it. She has an exceptionally decieving pokerface.
- No one knows the reason for her scar, which she brushes off as a acrobatic accident. In reality the scar was from an attempted assault when she was fourteen, something she tries very hard to forget.

History
Evony was born in Volgograd, Russia, and had a relatively normal infancy up until the age of 2 when her parents were accidentally murdered in a Mafia gangland war. After their deaths, Evony was taken into an orphanage and left in the care of the workers, who although caring were distant and did not afford her the attention she wanted as a child. Eventually she was adopted at the age of eight by a man who went by the name of Kasimir, and from then on she joined the enigmatic fellow and his wandering troupe of performers as their surrogate daughter and sibling.
Kasimir had a keen eye for the ebullient flair that the young girl possessed, his own ability allowing him to seek out gifted individuals, even if he did not know that she too was a metahuman. Whilst the beautiful little girl had not yet manifested her power the Ringleader still believed it his job to not only train her up in his circus but father her like any good man should. Kasimir led a nomadic lifestyle alongside his colleages in the circus and although they believed themselves tied to no particular jurisdiction he worried that the young child would end up getting drained into the militaristic educational system of Russia.
Joining the travelling band of performers the young girl became trained in a whole manner of circus tricks and skills and was specifically trained in acrobatics. They travelled the Eurpoean countryside, spanning from Switzerland all the way to Great Britain. Kasimir taught Evony the secrets of the trade, disciplining her mind, body and spirit to become the greatest performer in all of Europe. Not only did he educate her in the ways of a performer but also enlightened her mind by teaching her how to steal without leaving a trace and most importantly the english language. It was only until she turned 13 did her real metahuman powers manifest and it was then that she truly felt special. She was taught, by a very diligent Kasimir, how to properly utilise her wonderful metahuman gift. She absorbed all this information, not only practising it but excelling in these areas with a surprising level of ease. Impressed with her talent and sharp mind the troupe of performers gave her the title of the 'Amazing Mirror Girl'.
Knowing that Russia was not a particularly friendly place for young metas the circus quickly relocated to the green pastures of Denmark, Holland and Switzerland, knowing full well that the Russian scouts did not have power in the more lenient european nations.
Her reputation exceeded the small circus' expectations and eventually many people came to watch the beautiful young acrobat perform death defying stunts and strange mirror tricks like she was from another planet. She was the pride and joy of Kasimir and she too returned his unquestionable fatherly love with loyalty and good deeds like any daughter should. However tragedy struck the small and humble family when her reputation caught the attention of a feared Mafioso, who dreamt of adding the young girl to his private harlem.
An invitation to the gangster's inner circle was promptly torn up by Kasimir who instantly refused the gang to lay their hands on his adopted daughter. The tense situation eventually turned into a violent one and on a fateful night the professional performers, Evony's family, went against battle hardened gang members in a bloody brawl that ended with several deaths on both sides. The circus was particularly damaged with many of its members getting taken out by the ruthless gunfire of the gang members. Knowing that his daughter was no longer safe in the region, the risk of retaliation being too high to ignore, Kasimir made the painful decision of sending his gifted protege away from the threat of more violence and possible death.
Hearing that Switzerland was a much more friendlier place for a vulnerable metahuman Kasimir bargained with some smugglers to get his daughter into the safe jurisdiction of the European country, hoping to provide her with a future without pain or bloodshed. He knew that Evony's power, although quite skilful in her hands, was in need of discipline and refining and he hoped that somehow she would find solace in the land of the free.
Evony, then aged 14, was faced with the painful situation of bidding farewell to the people who loved and protected her for much of her life. The girl knew deep in her heart that what her father was doing was the wise choice, that staying with the circus would only present greater risks to herself and the zany clan she had grown up with. With a final wave goodbye Evony wished her father well and promised him that she would return as the 'Amazing Mirror Girl' once more. There was no other option but to settle in to the safety of Switzerland and attempt to lead a normal life.
The first several months were hard and the girl was plagued with homesickness and gnawing sense of guilt for leaving her family, her attention within the school was low and she craved the life she once had. Adventure and spontaneity were her strengths and before she hoped to do anything stupid the school counsellor suggested she scope out what it was she really wanted, without putting her family at risk. Looking over her options Evony was met with a particularly intriguing opportunity, transfer to America and start afresh, live a life away from the constant paranoia. It took a bit of convincing and hard work but Evony eventually agreed to the transfer, having her papers and passport dealt with by the Swiss school.
Now it was just her, two little ferrets and a small suitcase, the start of a whole new chapter into a land untouched by her powers. From that very moment, stepping onto American soil the gifted young woman soon became immersed in the way of the Western world...knowing full well that she can never return to her homeland when strife and gangland war still ravaged the landscape. She had only briefly been given insight into the Hammel institute and whilst the prospect of getting bound to another facility somewhat irked her she knew it was a much better alternative than what was offered back in Russia.

Roleplay Example
Evony smiled at her own reflection idly as she went over her outfit carefully, remembering the muted conversation she heard in an alleyway that afternoon. The crimson jacket, formal to the point of almost being military which sharpened her shoulders but still added a fierce feminine flair to her petite form, hugged her upper body tightly. Her elbows were sharp when she bent her arms, sleeves pulling tight. Good, if she got into a fist fight loose sleeves could be a handle and handles were generally a pain. Of all the gorgeous clothing items she has managed to snatch from the local dry cleaner this pristine jacket had to be one of her best finds. Underneath the recently pressed jacket was her standard black cardigan and skirt combo. The outfit embraced her lithe body, accentuating her curves and hugging her form to the point that she felt like she was practically wearing nothing. Her well kept black gloves had the appearance of very slim, feminine gauntlets, shined leather with intricate embroidery running down the fingers, practically invisible to the eye, these too were stolen. Her slender feet were fitted with specially made boots, which were not only exceedingly comfortable and made her legs look longer but also provided her protection and added grip on particularly dangerous surfaces.
Finally the Blue haired girl brushed her thumb along her cheekbone in the mirror, piercing cerulean eyes running over her own face. It seemed... less real when she saw her own reflection, like she took a less distinct place in this universe. She was no longer Evony Vasiliev but 'The Amazing Mirror girl'. It might have been worrying if it wasn't also just a little thrilling. Yuuka finally took hold of a selection of jewellery, both purchased from her own stash of money and stolen from various houses in the neighbouring area. A polished silver and shimmering obsidian necklace fell against her chest, nestling comfortably between her bosom. Once that was done, she took a moment to apply a little mascara to her eyes, just to add the finishing touches to her look. Everything seemed to be working well and with one more quick look at her outfitted body she stepped into the little space she called an apartment, a space that wasn't necessarily her own but the original occupants seemed to have moved on...or died
The Acrobat had recently found the small but cozy apartment nestled in the outskirts of the city of New York. It wasn't that roomy, but it came with its own shower, kitchen and workspace and was large enough for her practise her flips and various other acrobatic warm ups. She was used to living in small compartments from a child hood of moving across the European countryside, the only difference with this one was that she was completely alone. The only company she had were the two little ferrets that dashed across the floor chasing balls of fluff, Bacon and Egg, two happy little animals.
The blue haired acrobat did a quick glance about, before she descended the stairs and opened onto the silvery moonlight of a New York Evening. A Porsche had been pulled into an empty building lot next to her apartment complex, a few streets from the warehouse that she had been 'informed' to be at. The vehicle was obviously not her own, rather something a very rich and very drunk tycoon had left unattended whilst flirting his way through a nightclub. The teenage girl merely took it on herself to snatch up the beautiful car, hot-wire it and hide it away from prying eyes. It was easy enough to break the chain and drive inside, after a long couple of nights drive into the State, the tycoon would never suspect his polished black porsche was now several states away in the hands of what many would label as a minor. She was in no way going to use the stolen item anytime that night...she needed some well deserved fresh air before her 'date'.
Rather then take the pavements, however, Evony scaled a fire escape close by. She grabbed the rusted iron and clasped onto cracks between the masonry, lifting herself upwards with ease and fluid grace as she proceeded to bring herself further up the building. Once flipping her body over the lip of the roof she took in a deep breath, marvelling at the glowing cityscape a few kilometres away. Her shimmering icy blue hair fluttered in the gentle night breeze, tickling the side of her face as she momentarily listened to the sound of night activity. A walk across the rooftops seemed like a fine idea, breathing in the smell of petrol fumes from the street below and the sound of a city buzzing with activity was always a surefire way to awaken her instincts. Most places in the world looked alike, but the sounds were mostly unique. Evony loved listening to the chattering of couples, the distant shrill beeps of the taxis and the low hum of music wafting out of people's apartments.
The girl only had to do a few tricks to traverse the block, one of them involving a slightly precarious walk across a tight wire over the street below which she completed with ease. When the imposing, grey warehouse came into sight, she made a point of waiting a few minutes on a precipice over the New York street below. The warehouse was open, with a few people wandering into it as she observed the soft golden glow that drifted out of its stained glass windows. The chance that this was a trap was pretty slim; the only things Evony had done in the way of daring criminal activity had been mostly beating up muggers a who deserved a little punishing and she was certain the local Mobs were too absorbed in underground politics to send a hit man after a troublesome little teenager. When Evony finally decided on entering or not, she stepped off the ledge of the building and turned quickly, hand grasping a drain pipe which she road five stories down. As easy as stepping off an elevator, she bounced to the street below and made her way across the dimly lit road and into a side street next to the warehouse...a large puddle awaiting her entrance...
