Skills
Kisha is skilled at mechanical & electrical engineering and robotics, to college graduate levels. She has a exceptional grasp of physics, chemistry and maths for her age. While she is better at the practical applications of her skills she has made a serious effort to improve her theoretical skills over her time at Xaviers.
She can drive, having passed her test (barely), and knows how to break into and hot-wire most of the common makes of car although it's a skill she rarely uses. She tends to cheat using her power to augment her car related skills, rather than investing time in improving them.
Kisha also has some better than average self defense skills, having taken self defense classes & fencing lessons at school. She also knows several dirty fighting tricks her older brother showed her so she'd be able to look after herself when his friends visited. She could defend herself against two unarmed opponents or one armed, depending on the circumstances, skills and age/size of the opponents.
She's also pretty good at scavenging for parts and has a good knowledge of the sort of places you can find broken machinery and tech. A skill gained through long hours spent picking through junkyards and digging through dumpsters outside auto-mechanics and offices.
Kisha is a bit of a computer geek. She's experienced with hacking, cracking, AI, programming and all things computer having spent a lot of her free time during high school writing code. She's trained herself to a college graduate level in skill, but does things in a very informal manner (her coding tends to be quick and dirty with little regard for how easy it'll be for other people to work with).
She speaks both Russian and English equally well, one of the few things her father was strict about. Although she doesn't really like speaking in Russian and so rarely uses it except when speaking with her family or when she wishes to make something deliberately hard to use for other people. On occasion she'll use a little Russian to insult people to their faces without them understanding.
Resources
Kisha has access to a variety of resources both common and unusual.
On the more normal end she rents an apartment in Midtown and has access to typical consumer electronics like a television and mp3 player. She also rents a storage locker using a fake ID inside which she keeps a variety of machine tools that are too big/dirty for her apartment (such as her welding equipment and a home made microlight) and a bug out bag containing spare clothing and cash.
The more unusual devices include Bob (which stands for Built out of Bits) a home-made armor plated bomb disposal robot which is scaled up size and has tracks and a mechanical arm. A customized flying drone made by B that has a variety of sensors and a small holographic projector. Her portable computer device which has an augmented reality display and is controlled by a brain scanning system. A webshooter pistol, based on the webshooter technology used by Spiderdude, which is configured to fire webbing in a net-like burst.
Through work she also has access to all sorts of military grade weapons and robotics technology however there are likely to be severe consequences to taking these devices out from Stark Industries without permission.
