Meet Darcy, 17-year-old firestarter.

[Darcy Bishop]

O HAI. I'm Statler, and I bring you Darcy Rose Bishop, a teenage firestarter who's just now learning not to combust under extreme stress.

Name: Darcy Rose Bishop
Age: 17
Power: Pyrokinesis and Pyric Mimicry
Time at Hammel: 5+ years

COMMON KNOWLEDGE

Darcy has three brothers, ages 15, 14 and 14 (the youngest are twins), all at HI. She plays guitar and soccer, and she takes photography just about every year. It used to be that, if the fire alarm was going off, little miss time bomb here was probably responsible for it. She's gotten better, though, and hasn't outright combusted in months.

BEHAVIOR

To strangers, she's a bit quiet and unassuming, but the people she counts as friends know better. She loves late-night conversations, hour-long jam sessions, and rainy-day movie parties. Darcy is a good friend to have, in that she loves to talk about nothing at all, she's great at just sitting in calm silence, and, in a crisis, she'll fight to the death for you.

POSSIBILITIES

FRIENDS! Given how long she's been at the school, she's bound to have a small circle of friends, maybe from soccer or photography or a mutual love of playing music... or just people who like rock music and action movies.

She sometimes has a hard time MAKING friends, initially, but she's great at keeping them. Darcy was probably befriended by a roommate or by a particularly outgoing person, who then introduced her to a group of friends.

MENTOR(S) I'd love to find her a mentor or two, trainers or teachers or faculty members who've really taken an interest in Darcy's development and really helped her to grow over the past few years.

FAMILY Her brothers are available for adoption; they'd be 15, and a pair of 14-year-old twins. Names, powers, PBs... they're all pretty flexible, really. The history's the only thing that's mostly set in stone. I'll be posting a wanted ad for these three soon.

ROMANCE This could be anything from an ex-boyfriend to a crush (in either direction) to a boyfriend. I'm pretty open here. I'm not looking for her to get involved with anyone, but male attention definitely puts her somewhat out of her comfort zone, so it would be fun to write, given the opportunity.

UNFRIENDS Former roommates who really hated rooming with her because of her occasional accidents would also be lovely.
