Basics</strong></span></span><br/><strong>Full Name:</strong>Abigail Krueger<br/><strong>Age:</strong>20<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Nationality: </strong>American<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>New and unwilling student<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Physical Description</strong></span></span><br/><strong>Hair Colour:</strong>Blonde<br/><strong>Eye Colour:</strong>Blue<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'8”<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>125lbs<br/><strong>Face Claim:</strong>Ashley Benson<br/><strong>Physical Features:</strong>She has six earrings in her left here, four in the other, a tongue ring, a bellybutton ring, and her nipples are pierced.<br/><br/><strong>General Appearance:</strong>Abigail very rarely dresses up, preferring to wear jeans and baggy tee-shirts that hide her figure.  But once in a while, she'll doll up and when she does that, she prefers to wear long dresses with low cut tops to tease the boys with her breasts.  At this point, she doesn't have a training outfit.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Abigail grew up on the streets and has developed a very 'me first' type attitude about her.  As a result, she can sometimes come off as selfish and hard to get along with.  This isn't helped at all by the fact that she doesn't want to be in the Mansion, but it was either that or prison and she didn't even want to think about what prison would be like for a mutant like her.  However, once you're able to get past that, you find someone with a sharp wit and dirty sense of humor that loves to laugh.  She also, unfortunately, does have a bit of a short temper, but rarely does she actually hold grudges against people.  When it comes to the issues of mutant rights, she's very firm in her belief that mutants should be treated like everyone else and has no issue with getting violent if she feels like she has to in order to prevent being treated like a second class citizen or an animal.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Abigail doesn't remember her parents.  Her first memories were of the orphanage that she was dropped off at when she was just a baby.  The staff were cold and treated the kids as burdens more than as children.  And for Abigail, this just wouldn't do.  At the age of ten, after years of living in that orphanage and being forced to cook, clean, and tend to the needs of the staff, she ran away and disappeared into the streets.  The first few years were a struggle as she begged and stole to survive, sleeping in shelters or in bus stops when it was too cold to sleep on the streets.  Time passed quickly and she learned how to survive just as quickly, but being a girl on the streets is never a safe prospect.  One night, an older homeless man offered to share his sleeping bag with her.  When she refused, knowing that he had bad intentions, the man attacked her and it was during that attack that her powers manifested themselves.<br/><br/>As he climbed up on top of her, her hair whipped around and wrapped around his throat, choking him.  He struggled, but the grip was strong and it wasn't until he was completely unconscious that she released him, having realized that she was in control.  Immediately, she ran away and found someplace to hide.  Over the next few days, she learned to control her powers, discovering what she could and couldn't do with her hair.  And a short time later, she discovered that she could also paralyze a man with her gaze if she tried, bringing to mind the myths of Medusa, which she took as a nickname when talking to the other kids as she didn't want to give them her real name.  Her new powers helped her scrape by and she would've likely stayed like this until one day, she saw him and what he'd done when he was being beaten by some of the other kids.<br/><br/>Shocked by his power, she was curious.  And when she learned what hospital he was at, she would go and visit him, claiming to be his girlfriend to avoid any uncomfortable questions about who they were or where they were from.  Thus began a strong friendship with Demetrius Bond.  And that friendship had formed the basis of a new group of young mutants like them who had bonded together to survive.  And during this time, her and Demetrius, or Hijack as everyone had started to call him after the car incident, became closer and closer, eventually becoming lovers.  He was her first and she believed that they would never be separated as combined, they were beginning to form a powerful team.  They had even started to perform robberies together with him deactivating the electronic security.  That was until one day when they had learned the extent of his powers and he used it to get her away from the scene when the cops came and arrested him.<br/><br/>With him gone, Medusa abandoned the group that they'd created and struck back out on her own.  Her intent was to find Hijack and break him out of prison, but when she learned that he'd instead been sent to Xavier's school, she lost all hope of that.  And when he didn't come to find her, her sadness turned into anger and bitterness at how easily he'd forgotten all about her.  Knowing she needed money, she came up with a new hustle.  Acting as a prostitute, she would convince men to take her to a hotel for sex, but once they arrived, she'd use her powers to paralyze them before taking all their cash and leaving them there, to regain control of their bodies hours later and her being long gone.  She did this for a couple years, earning enough to make herself a fairly decent living and even get a little apartment where she could finally have a safe place to put her head at night.  But she continued to use her hustle to earn money and that would eventually lead to her downfall.<br/><br/>A side effect of her paralytic powers was that it would leave her victim's memory in a haze so that they couldn't truly identify her.  That was until one of them managed to do it and she was captured and brought in.  There she learned that the 'john' was a very anti-mutant politician and wanted to see her locked in prison so he could make an example of her.  Of course, he was very careful to hide just how they had met, but it wasn't like she could do anything and had resigned herself to being sent to prison.  That was until one day, Charles Xavier entered the picture and somehow got her assigned to his school, which she just recently arrived at.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Class:</strong>Gamma<br/><br/><strong>Power Name:</strong>Her powers include trichokinesis, or the ability to manipulate her hair and use it as a weapon, and also the ability to paralyze someone by looking them directly in the eyes.  The limitations of her paralysis include the fact that it only works to a range of roughly 15 feet and she has to actively attempt to use it.  Her mutation is most reminiscent of Medusa and the gorgons.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment Name:</strong>She has no equipment as she hasn't received any formal combat training.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br/><br/><strong>Weakness Name:</strong>With her trichonkinesis, the biggest weakness is that while she can manipulate her hair, it's still hair.  She can't use it to lift anything heavy and it can easily be cut with blades.  Her paralytic powers are limited by the fact that she has to look her victim directly in the eyes, meaning that reflective sunglasses or blackout lenses can block her power.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Flaw Name:</strong>Her greatest flaw has to be her temper.  It makes her prone to do things simply out of spite without thinking twice about it.  This makes her sometimes difficult to get along with as if she's slighted and angered enough, she could end up doing something rash and destructive towards that friendship.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br/><br/>This is room for any details you want to add to your character sheet.
