[/i][/size][/right]The Basics
Name: Cecile Leona Lynch
Nickname: Cilla
Age: Eightteen
Orientation: Hetero
Member Group: Student
Power(s): Object Mimicry
It is probably for the better Cilla has a power that is practically harmless: she's just not that... Smart. Her power allows her to transform into any inanimate object around her, but she's not always in control of her gift. This means you shouldn't be surprised to see a table where it shouldn't belong or an extra teachers desk: it could be the lovely and innocent Cilla being stuck as whatever object she unwillingly transformed in. This unwilling transferring mostly happens when she's in an extreme emotional state or very tired, otherwise she can somewhat control not transforming in a statue every time she walks past one. Using her ability on command is extremely tiring for Cilla as she has to focus so much it 'hurts' her brain. When she's doing it without intending to it costs her a lot less energy. Another side effect of using her power is feeling sore and stiff all over. Especially when she suffers from what she calls 'one of her accidents' and can't turn back to normal. When she in the end does turn back, she feels horrible and has pain everywhere.
There is some discussion about how Cilla is using her power, or how she should. When she's wanting to transform she has to touch the object she wants to become and focus. However, if she transforms involuntarily the object might be a few meters away. Whatever the reason is, or how this is possible? Cilla is still trying to figure it all out.

The Details
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Any Piercings? None
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? None
General Appearance: Cilla is comparable to all those cute little dolls girls have when their young. She's 1.62 meters short and has a very slender posture. Her skin is very light and so is her hair. Her shiny blue eyes light up her perfect little face. She hardly ever has any irregularities in her face and if she does she's able to cover them up completely. She's not perfect though... If you'd ask Cilla to describe herself she would probably begin with her short length. She hates being short and slender as she is. Cilla once had a dream about becoming a model, but that dream was crushed when she found out she'd never be tall enough, unfortunately. Most definitely she would complain about her figure. No not about her weight or anything, but mainly the issue of buying clothes. It is hard for her to find something nice that also fits her. Because of this Cilla became handy in sowing: she adapts clothing she buys herself if needed. Overall she is quite happy with her looks: she likes what she sees when looking in the mirror and hardly ever complains out loud about what she dislikes about herself.
Personality: Cilla is not particularly smart, probably more the opposite really. She could be smarter but she just hates to put an effort into anything related to school and learning. She is, however, a very nice and kind hearted girl. She loves chatting about anything not related to school. Her favorite subjects are probably fashion, culture, music and animals. Even though you'd expect her to not be smart on any topic she will amaze you with her knowledge on above mentioned topics. She enjoys those and then learning seems like a totally different thing. Cilla even learned to play acoustic guitar, although she's definitely not the best player around.
She easily makes friends and is someone that is hardly ever hated. Cilla just likes everyone and even when a person is treating her badly she sees the good in them. This characteristic makes her an easy target for those that want to use her. Cilla would probably go to the end of the world for someone if they'd ask her and she knew them well. Naive? Oh yes, definitely. She fell into that trap so many times already, but would again without hesitation.
As already mentioned, she sees the good in everyone and everything. Cilla is a positive thinker in any way and always has a cheerful mood state. She loves life and enjoys every second, or at least she tries to. Whenever you see her cry there is something very, very bad going on.
Your Vices
Likes: Cilla loves to chat about fashion, animals, music and culture. She plays acoustic guitar, although Cilla's not a natural and really needs her time to learn something new. Shopping is something she loves doing as well, but considering she does not have much to spend nowadays, this hobby is brought back to a minimum. Other 'random' things she likes are: tea, horses, cats, guinea pigs, animals in general, strawberries, fastfood, the summer, nature, her mother, boys and parties.
Dislikes: She dislikes her power, first of all. It makes Cilla feel claustrophobic and desperate whenever she's stuck as an inanimate object. Her power is also the main reason Cilla completely dislikes musea: too many interesting objects. She wouldn't want to be stuck as some very expensive painting, now would she? Cilla isn't that into winter, snow and rain as well. Oh, there is one other thing Cilla absolutely hates, and that is being forced to do something. If she's forced, she won't do it: no matter what it is. Otherwise.. She's hard to annoy.
Strengths:
+ Cheerleading
+ Very positive thinker
+ Will go to any lengths to help a friend
+ Finding fashionable clothing for almost nothing
Weaknesses: Learning and using her power if that wasn't clear yet. She's also extremely naive.
Fears: Drowning, becoming blind
Secret: She pretty much wears her heart on her sleeve, so no secrets for this girl. And please don't make the mistake of telling her one of your secrets... She just can't shut up.

History
Lillian Jayden was born as the daughter of a hard working business man and a stay-at-home mother in the United Stated of America. She grew up in a household with little money and didn't even know the definition of the word vacation. In high school she got bullied so much she became depressed. It took her a few more years than other students to finish high school. Afterwards she went to a University in England where she finally did seem to find her place. She flourished and had the time of her life. It was here she met the rich Brayden Lynch: the man she fell desperately in love with. The story began so pretty: after University the two married and soon after Lilian discovered she was pregnant. Both Lilian and Brayden felt euphoric. Lilian was so happy to have found her perfect husband, have her own little house and finally to not worry about money so much any more. Nine months later a perfectly healthy girl set foot into this world and recieved the name Cecila Leona Lynch. Well, that was the planning. Brayden wasn't that into the name Cecila and when he went to register his baby girl he secretly altered the name to Cecile. And you can probably guess how mad Lilian was about this.
Cecile never was a problem child: she hardly ever cried and played quietly by herself all day if no one was around to play with her. From birth Cecile formed a very strong bond with her mother. Her father on the other hand was almost like a stranger to Cecile. He was gone most of the time, and when home he was often sleeping or had other things to do that obviously didn't involve Cecile. She didn't really mind, although she hated seeing friends with their dad's laughing and joking when she didn't really have one.
School has always been a necessary evil for Cilla, since that is what she decided to call herself ever since she was able to speak for herself. She had trouble keeping up with her classmates and whether this was because she absolutely hated school or just wasn't that smart was a question no one knew the answer to. Another question without answer is how she ever managed to get through school without having any good grades. Oh well, having a rich dad apparantly did have its advantages.
At the age of fourteen strange things started to happen. First of all Cilla's parents decided to divorce which actually wasn't that strange at all. She and her mother moved out of the house and moved to the other side of the country. The house Cilla now lived in was a lot smaller and her lifestyle had to change drastically since the income of what was left over of the family was much lower now. Cilla started high school in this new city. Back to the strange things: Cilla started to disappear for certain periods of time. At school she missed classes and at home.. Her mother accused her of sneaking out at night or going somewhere without telling or asking. Cilla's problems became worse and worse when she also started to skip examinations. Lucky for her this is when Kocher Haute École discovered her little talent and took her to Switserland to attend school there. Being overwhelmed, Cilla did not fully understand what was going on. As far as she knew she was present in classes, just unable to move or do anything else, as if paralyzed. It took quite a while for her to finally understand what was going on.
She had a gift, a totally unusable gift. Well in her opinion that is. What is the use of being able to shift into a desk or a piece of art? And most important, not being able to shift back on command..? As far as Cilla could see there was none. She was obliged to follow classes in Switzerland, which she did. She went on being her normal self scoring low enough marks for everyone to think she was a dumb blonde, which isn't that far from the truth. Cilla also started classes that were supposed to help her control her power. But instead of becoming better and better, she seemed to become worse. In classes she was asked to transform into something. She could when focussing and touching an object, but once turned into the object, there seemed to be no way back and that feeling creeped her out. Especially since even these 'experienced people' didn't know how to help her. She stayed in Switzerland for a couple of years, but when she started to refuse taking part in the gift controlling classes things only got worse. Her marks got so low the school didn't know what to do anymore. In the end they wound up sending Cilla away to Hammel Institute, hoping they could help Cilla with her gift.
Roleplay Example
"But... No!" Cilla stared at the man right across the desk. He stared back without even blinking and nodded his head, ensuring her that he was indeed serious. Cilla bit her lip and stared at the floor. Moving again? Was this man nuts or what? Cilla remembered the first time she had to switch schools, which had been for the better she recognized now. Her old high school was awesome, but since she was unable to control her gift it was hell being there those first weeks. When things became so bad she disappeared almost every day, the employees of the man in front of her came to pick her up. They were actually quite late, they once told her. Normally the school fetched mutants, oh sorry, she wasn’t really allowed to call herself and others mutants, beta-humans, meta-humans, whatever it was: she couldn't remember. Anyway, normally the school was quicker at finding them since most powers where displayed openly and noticed quickly. Cilla just… Disappeared. It was actually quite sad that even a specialized school like this wasn’t able to find her in the first place. Her gift really was useless, and this was just evidence she was right at that point. ‘I believe Hammel Institute is better prepared for a student like you’ the man spoke to her. A student like her? What was that supposed to mean? Cilla raised an eyebrow, thinking deeply. Was she that bad? Well of course she was, she basically refused to use her gift on command and since that was one of the requirements of the school she indeed was doing bad. But still. Moving from England to Switzerland was already such a big step, and now that she finally grew accustomed to everything and everyone here she again had to leave? This world just became even crazier than it already was. Cilla felt the urge to transform into a table and pretend not to be here. Unfortunately the principal wouldn’t stop talking to her anyway. “I don’t want to go! Not again! I promise I will try harder!” Cilla tried to defend herself. The principal looked her in the eye and sighed. Cilla knew she had to go, but she hated to be forced to do anything. And she didn’t feel like going anywhere. This was her home now, and it was threatened to be taken from her. “Please, I-“ Cilla looked in the eye of the principal and knew there was no was escaping this. She felt terrible and wished she would have tried harder. If she would have known this was the consequence she would have at least try to follow the lessons to learn how to control her power… Oh well, who was she kidding? She hated her gift from time to time and would never use it on command again. Not at this school at least, since there had been no consequences anyway. Until now, that was. “C- Can I please go?” Cilla asked, hesitating. The head master nodded, telling her she could go and had until tomorrow afternoon to pack her bags. At twelve she would leave the academy and would be transferred to Hammel. Cilla felt a wave of insecurity and a bit of anxiety through her body. “Yes headmaster, I will make sure to be there on time.” She said sadly. After finishing her sentence, she left the office of the principal.
