History: She was adopted by Maddie and Hester Jewel, who raised her on their farm in northern Minnesota. As a nerdy child, she wasn't much help on the farm, but her parents encouraged her bookwormy tendencies. In her younger years, she struggled in school, since she found it difficult to focus on anything besides her books. In 9th grade, her English teacher, Mr. Brooks, taught her the wonders of literary analysis. She dedicated herself to her studies so she could go to her dream school, WSUK, since she'd need substantial scholarships to afford it. In high school, she had lots of friends, but no truly close relationships. Without realizing it, she had become a bit of a doormat. In college, she's more reserved. She enjoyed her English studies at the university, but after a disastrous semester attempting to intern as a teaching assistant to a local high school teacher, she's not sure want she wants to do with her degree. She's embarrassed about her indecision, and her grades were slipping... Burdened by the guilt of losing her scholarship, she left her dream school. Recently, she transferred to the community college at Northridge.
Other:
    -Sexual orientation: asexual
    -Favorite color: blue
    -Favorite book: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
    -She wears contacts because she thinks they make her look more presentable.

BATTLE INFO

Rank: Novice
Total HP: 5
Dice: D20
ABILITY1: 
    -Echolocation: Users emit calls out to the environment and listen to the echoes of those calls that return from various objects near them, and use these echoes to locate and identify the objects. Alternately, they can use ambient sounds to do the same. Since this ability isn't based on sight/light, invisibility is useless against it, as are most forms of camouflage.
PERK: 
    -Survivalist: Users with any of the following abilities can avoid any environmental hindrances based on certain areas of the plot. For example, if an event rp involves a burning fire, certain characters with these abilities can avoid being harmed without having to actively control the fire. This area also “blanket covers” the general Immunity abilities, giving some characters a natural advantage over others through not being affected by their ability.
    +She can obtain information about her environment based on sound waves she hears echoing off of them.
    +The greater the amplitude of the waves (volume), the clearer the information she receives is. She can heighten her perception by yelling.
    +Forget glasses and contacts?? No problem
    xSometimes her ability muddles actual sound. If she's focusing on sensing objects, she might not be able to understand spoken language.
    xIt's hard for her to use her power while moving, since the sound of her footsteps draws her attention to the ground, obviously.
    xIn general, feedback from any of her other senses clouds her ability. Closing her eyes helps her, too.
Strengths and Weaknesses: 
    +Strategic. She can easily visualize many possible outcomes and weigh them against each other.
    +Cautious. Unless others are at risk, she won't rush into danger unless it's her last option. Her ability helps her assess danger.
    xSlow reflexes. Although her mind is going a mile a minute, her body might take longer to react.
    xClumsy. She is not an agile creature and frequently gets in the way while trying to help.
