When using this ability it does not allow her to scan a person’s mind. The illusion would appear as a ghostly or holographic image to all who saw it except for the target, who would think it was real. </li><li><strong>Animal Empathy</strong> Can achieve a quasi-telepathic rapport with animals (but not human beings) She can sense their feelings and occasionally consciously perceive images in their minds. However, since an animal's ability to conceptualize is highly limited this is not a stellar form of communication. Very recently she has been able to deepen the bond, able to shift her consciousness and see through their eyes but it is difficult and incredibly disorientating for her.</li></ul><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li> <strong>Inability to control her powers</strong> She’s getting better but misfires still happen most often when she herself is afraid, nervous, angry, or .. *coughs delicately* otherwise in a high state of emotion.</li><li><strong>Line of sight required</strong> Both her abilities require that she be able to focus on her target.</li><li>She’s just a human girl, looking at a bullet, asking it not to kill her.  Though she’s athletic she’s got limited strength and endurance</li></ul><br/><strong>HISTORY:</strong>Danielle was born in Colorado to members of the Cheyenne Nation. The first time Dani's powers manifested, she saw the image of her parents dying.  She was twelve years old. Shortly thereafter, her parents took a trip into the mountains and they disappeared, presumed to be dead. After their disappearance Dani was sent to live with some neighbors, but she did not have control over her emotions or mutant ability to create illusions based on primal fears. Scared, superstitious, and resentful the community at large turned upon her and she went to live with her Grandfather, Black Eagle, on a small ranch just outside Boulder.<br/><br/>The education offered to her by her reclusive grandfather was unorthodox to be sure.  Her peers in public school were learning history and making social connections.  Dani learned survival skills, hunting, tracking, basic veterinary skills while kind of half-heartedly pursuing her GED.   She spent years that way, her wildness tempered by her love for her grandfather and his patience in dealing with a rather angry teenager.<br/>She had no idea that her grandfather had been conversing with one of her father’s old friends about her and her rather restrictive mutation… not until she found the letters.  Who the hell was this Charles Xavier? And how dare he suggest that she move to some private school.<br/><br/>The confrontation with her grandfather did not go well.  Angry and feeling rather threatened her power triggered and they both watched as Black Eagle’s deepest fear spilled out before them. This own death, rather gruesome.  Horrified at what she had done Dani was persuaded to go in the hopes that Xavier could help her find some measure of control.<br/><br/>While she finds it odd to be at the school and is nervous around the other students at least the setting is somewhat familiar and she isn't required to adapt to life is some big city.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>Wary around other people Dani is far more comfortable around animals.   She isn't afraid of hard work, in fact she deliberately pushes herself to the point of exhaustion whenever possible having some issues with sleep and the occasional night terror. Incredibly under socialized she favors brutal honesty over tact and can often come across as abrasive through never maliciously cruel. Though she respects those in positions of authority just blindly following orders doesn't really work for her and she expects some kind of explanation or choice.<br/><br/><br/><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong>None yet really<br/><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong>Dani has accepted that sex is just not going to happen until she has better control of her ability.  Nothing like parading your lover’s deepest fears in front of them as foreplay.<br/><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong>HERE (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=64208.0)<br/><br/><strong>NOTES:</strong>And nary a feather or fringed buckskin was to be found.  I pretty much hate the cliche “oh look she’s Native American” stuff they’ve used for her and am likely going to avoid it like a plague, though she will ask permission to visit her people during the summer Sun Dance because it is still important to her.
