Alias: Leaf
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Physical characteristics:
Hair: Dark brown that goes past her waist
Eyes: Bright green
Garb: Her dark green Elven cloak over a lighter green body suit that has the same dark green of the cloak in a vine design around the neck and wrists and ankles. She has a belt that looks like vines as well as a mask with pointed ears so that no one can recognize her.
Skills/superpowers: Has control over nature things. She can get plants that exist to grow and help out, (i.e. tree roots to grow and trip or grab ankles.) She can make plants grow where they normally wouldn�t. She can provide small rays of sunlight (or moonlight depending on the time) in places of darkness. She can communicate with animals and humans telepathically. She can transform into any animal at will but it takes a lot of her strength. (She is working on that) She can also make springs of crystal clean water just pop up out of nowhere.
Short History: Leaf's dad is in the military and she moves around a lot. Her dad isn�t the nicest guy; he verbally, mentally and spiritually abuses her and her siblings. When Nicole was 14, her mother could stand it no longer. She took all three kids and ran off in the night. But the father sent men out after them. As they ran through the forest, Nicole saw an odd necklace. She picked it up and threw it around her neck as she ran. As she put it on she felt power surge through her.
A squirrel saw her put it on and said, *So you were the chosen one.*
*What????* asked Nicole.
*You were the one chosen to help the people*
*What are you talking about?!?!?!?*
*The spirits chose you*
*I believe in the one true God, I�m not polytheistic*
*They are the spirits of the elements, they chose you*
*Fine, let�s say they did. Why me?*
*Only they know. I just put the necklace there like I was told. Only others with powers can see it. And now you have the powers of nature.*
The squirrel stopped talking to her, fed up with how dumb and ungrateful humans could be. Nicole ducked around a tree and saw her mother and her siblings surrounded by the men. She could only stand and watch in horror as they shot her brother and sister and then cut her mother�s throat. She gave a sob and they turned to get her. But when they turned she was gone. She had wished she were a squirrel and she was. She scampered up the tree and got away safely, even though she was worn out by using so much of her powers.
Even though they had left in the night, Nicole had knew the day would be soon and had packed up her LotR posters, DVDs, CDs, and books, as well as her Redwall books, a picture of her best friend, her elven cloak (mentioned earlier), and her laptop. At the last moment she had put her hedgehog in a special carrying case. That was now her only friend who was still alive. She had read not three weeks ago on her laptop the news about her best friend�s house being burnt down because Mr. Stone had thought she�d have gone there. It was burned at night when all the people were asleep and they all died.
