She's always felt inferior to her younger sister and that complex has bred resentment. She's prideful to a fault, often turning her back on people, opportunities, or situations if she feels she's not wanted. She has the tendency of being impulsive, acting on emotion rather than thinking things through. That being said, she does possess a big heart. She's always had a soft spot for the underdog or the misunderstood, mostly because she feels she can count herself among their ranks. She's resilient and hardworking even if she tends to underestimate her abilities. Her issues with school stem more from her dyslexia rather than a lack of intelligence; she's been blessed with street smarts and quick thinking.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Sarah was born in the small town of Covington, Louisiana; nestled in the Deep South at the fork of the Bogue Falaya River and the Tchefuncte River. When she was very young her mother died in a boating accident. Despite her troubled beginnings in life, Sarah was a stranger to tragedy. She hardly remembered the mother she lost in a boating accident. Or perhaps that is unfair to say. Sarah greatly felt the emptiness that her mother left behind. Her father tried his best to raise her and her younger sister but there was some things that only a mother could understand. Thankfully her grandmother was there to try her best to play the female role model. It was her grandmother that shielded her from her father’s (who happened to be the local Sheriff) wrath whenever she got in trouble at school, which was quite often. Sarah had dyslexia which meant school and studies were very difficult for her. In her younger years she really did try to understand her lessons but after a certain point she grew tired and gave up. She began to act out in class, a mixture of frustration and boredom finally taking its toll. It didn't help that her younger sister was the treasure of the town The younger girl threw herself into every activity she could find time for; student council, sports, volunteer work. She also didn't appreciate her sister trying to give her advice or take care of her, Sarah was the eldest and therefore it was her job to do that not the other way around. <br/><br/>To make matters worse, Sarah's childhood sweetheart also had a tendency to get in trouble. As the two got older they began to skip classes, hanging out with a similar crowd that also had a disdain for education and the rules. These years were the most difficult at home. Her father didn't appreciate her behaviour. He meant well but the pressures of his job caused him to blow up at home, unable to keep up the patience he had shown to the general public each and every day. As much as she loved her family she began to resent the control her father tried to instill and often dreamed of escape with Xavier at her side. <br/><br/>It wasn't meant to be. <br/><br/>Xavier became embroiled in a murder trial. She knew he hadn't done it, he had told her as much and she knew that despite what everyone thought, Xavier was no murderer. He was a much kinder and gentler soul than most believed him to be. He was charged but thankfully the judge was kind enough to sentence him to enlist in the military since there wasn't enough evidence to properly convict him. The timing for it all was terrible. Sarah had just found out that she was pregnant. She was 18, too young to be a mother and too frightened to ask anyone for help. Her sister advised her not to do anything before she spoke to Xavier but they never had a chance to speak before he was shipped away. Without anyone's knowledge, Sarah got an abortion. She had felt it was the only choice she had and to this day she stands by her decision. After he left Xavier never wrote to her. He never called or made any sort of contact. It hurt, a lot. He had been a constant in her life and he suddenly disappeared on her. After her younger sister abandoned her to go to college in Georgia, Sarah decided that the only person she could depend on was herself. She moved out and got a job as a bartender, even going as far as to move away from her hometown. <br/><br/>It wasn't easy getting a decent job without a college degree but after some hard work she managed to become a bartender. The hours suited her and tips were good. Life was simple or at least it was until the powers developed. It's been two years since they've appeared in her life seemingly out of nowhere and she continues to struggle with the mastery of these newfound abilities.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Audio books, party hearty, road trips, most sports (both watching and playing), swimming, fishing, food, music, Americana, singing, playing guitar<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Reading, math, snakes (she'll kill one on sight), anything she would define as 'fuss'<br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> Street smart, charming, hardy, kinesthetic, quick thinker, resilient<br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Dyslexic, not really book smart, insecure, impulsive, stubborn, prideful<br/><strong>On's &amp; Off's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=213849.0)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong><br/><br/>Essentially her powers aren't infinite. Certain moves take up more energy than others which depletes her supply. The more energy she expends the less stronger her blows are and the less likely she is to be able to perform an energy shield or propulsion (which eats up a lot of her energy supply). That's why the Kinetic Absorption is so important, it allows her to replenish her supply.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Powers</span></strong><br/></span><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Propulsion (6):</strong> Sarah possesses the ability to generate thermo-chemical energy and release it from her body. She can use the energy as a thrust to propel her body at great heights and speeds. The propulsion coupled with the thermo-chemical energy launches her as a sort of human bomb. She is still working on her maneuverability and properly calculating and assessing her speed in relation to her target. Hopefully she will one day be able to control her speed and direction flawlessly.</span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Energy Shield (4):</strong> Not only can the energy be used to launch her as a sort of human bomb, she is currently working on using the energy to shield not just herself but her companions. She is able to use her shield to imprison opponents but only for short periods of time (a few minutes at most). The energy shield is what protects her during her propulsion and explosive landing. Currently she can extend the shield to encompass a 5 foot radius. The shield is effective against both physical attacks and energy attacks. She's great at shielding just herself, her main issues are when she sends the shield off in a sort of bubble to encapsulate someone else or when she extends the shield to encompass not just herself but those around her. When she does those things she can only hold it for a few minutes (2 to 3 minutes). Her shield is what protects her, if she doesn't have the shield up then she's just like any another person.<br/></span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Kinetic Absorption (6):</strong> Sarah is able to absorb outside kinetic impact into her own energy supply. Her shield is what absorbs the energy.</span> </li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Powered Hit (7):</strong> She can use the kinetic energy she absorbs to supplement the strength of any physical blows she deals. She tends to miscalculate the force of her blows (either too much or too little strength). This is an increase in single strikes (i.e. punches and kicks) and not overall strength.</span></li><li><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Shockwave (5):</strong> Using the same outside energy she absorbs, she can create shockwaves that either cause explosions when coming in contact with flammable objects (i.e. cars) or knock down people and objects around her. She also has a tendency to miscalculate the distance and strength of her shockwaves.</span></li></ul>
