<strong>Name:</strong>Dannara "D" Jacobson<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong><div class="floatright">(http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Redheads/3082b5a0-8e4a-49c7-8c0a-399af2f182f5_zpsf5d33779.jpg) (http://s980.photobucket.com/user/caela_ecub/media/Redheads/3082b5a0-8e4a-49c7-8c0a-399af2f182f5_zpsf5d33779.jpg.html)</div><br/><em>Height:</em>5'7<br/><em>Weight:</em>152<br/><em>Hair:</em>Red<br/><em>Eyes:</em>White<br/><br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>Pickpocket/Petty Thief<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><em>Thermal Vision:</em>Despite being "blind" in the classical sense, D can see people, animals, plants, etc. through the thermal energy they give off.<br/><br/><em>Short Range Echolocation:</em>She can locate objects within a 10 foot radius of where she's standing using a weak form of echolocation which is why she almost always wears a stack of bangle bracelets on one, or both wrists, allowing her to make small noises and maneuver through even unfamiliar rooms.<br/><br/><strong>Specialties:</strong><em>Pickpocket:</em>A light touch, dexterity, and people's natural aversion to her blank gaze make her highly skilled at lifting wallets and small trinkets from people.<br/><br/><em>Singing:</em>Another means of earning money to eat, her sweet alto has often earned her enough money to eat for a week at a time.<br/><br/><em>Self-Defense:</em>She is surprisingly deft at defending herself from other street kids. They expect the blind girl to be an easy mark, and get a swift surprise when she wields her cane with unexpected skill. Most in the areas she frequents have learned not to bother her.<br/><br/><em>Intelligence:</em>D is incredibly smart, when tested as a child she easily reached into the genius range on every IQ test given to her and more than one doctor lamented that such a bright child should be so impaired.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses/Phobias:</strong><em>Loud Sounds:</em>Too much noise can interfere with her Echolocation, making her clumsy and uncertain in unfamiliar places.<br/><br/><em>Human Physicality:</em>Despite her unusual sight and hearing abilities, she is purely human in strength, speed, agility etc.<br/><br/><strong>Personality/Motivations:</strong>D is kind, intelligent, determined, and surprisingly, happy with her lot in life. She knows her situation is unique and that there are programs out there for people like her but she has no interest in seeking help from anyone (especially a government agency) until the day comes when she can't take care of herself.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>D was born in a place simply known as, "The Clinic". Similar to the Foundry in it's goals, it wasn't nearly so well funded and had to make use of far cruder methodology. The Clinic made use of low income women with unwanted pregnancies, paying them to remain pregnant and allow themselves to be treated with various "serums" and "vitamin" supplements in order to<em>improve</em>the fetuses they carried. Those children who didn't meet their standards were simply shunted away to a variety of nearby orphanages and rarely followed up on.<br/><br/>D has no knowledge of the circumstances surrounding her birth and believes that her mother was a street kid who died in childbirth.<br/><br/>Her mother was a young woman of little means who was barely managing to make ends meet for herself<em>before</em>she got pregnant. When she found herself with child she went to the clinic planning to have an abortion. The doctors there ran her bloodwork and the young woman found herself being offered more money (every month) than she usually earned in three to continue the pregnancy and all the clinic to treat her with a special "serum". She was promised that after the birth, the child would be placed with a caring family and she'd never have to see it again.<br/><br/>The young woman never asked what this "serum" would do to the child she carried. What it was meant to do, was create a child with increased strength, agility, intelligence, learning ability, vision, hearing, and a whole host of other "improvements". In D's case, what it did was leave her blind and otherwise "normal". The people who ran the Clinic placed the unwanted child in a nearby orphanage with little concern for what would happen to her since she was considered defective.<br/><br/>They didn't keep D long enough to learn that while she was "blind" in the conventional sense, she could see thermal images or that her hearing was above average and allowed her to know what was in her surrounding through a use of low level echolocation. Because of her blindness, the orphanage she was placed with had a hard time finding a placement for her and she bounced from foster home to foster home until she simply packed a small bag one afternoon and left the latest in a string of homes at 14.<br/><br/>Her first year on her own was the hardest. She faced hardships she hadn't expected and knew the first pangs of true hunger when she couldn't pickpocket enough wallets to buy her meals. Gradually she eked out her own small territory, made a few friends and learned how to ensure she had food and shelter on any given night.<br/><br/><strong>Resources:</strong>A network of other street kids, knowledge of places good to sleep, find food, vendors sympathetic to young kids on their own.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>A small bag of clothes and both a cd and mp3 player to listen to audiobooks since her unique vision doesn't actually allow her to read.<br/><br/><strong>Played By:</strong>Caela<br/>
