Introduction

xxxxxOverview of your character goes here.

Description

xxxxxStanding at 5'6, Giselle is pretty thin, not too far off from model standards, though perhaps she lacks the sharper facial structure for most magazines, having a round and soft face, with doe-like black eyes and somewhat wavy black hair. Her general appearance is where most people find her unique, as Giselle's aesthetic is full on goth, almost always full black with vaguely regal outfits, sometimes eccentric in styling, complete with painted nails, fake bags and a paler foundation from her white skin.

Reputation

xxxxxWhat (if anything) might others have heard about your character? It's okay if this is 'nothing'. This can also be specific to their faction (maybe they're class clown at their school!) or specific to a niche field (maybe you'd have heard of them if you know a lot about particle physics or cross country skiing, but not otherwise!)

History

xxxxxHer birth was a product of a years-long experiment, of a project doomed to fail as soon as it began the test runs, the scientists conspiring for the end results from the sponsors of their work... Said project was the rapidly deteriorating romance of a billionaire business legacy's latest heir and a cover girl of France's most chic fashion shows.

The first test run was a neurotic entrepreneur, which to be fair, had satisfying results! But they could do better, she wanted a daughter after all! And then they had Narcissus in a race car, which took most of their energy and really showed the couple they just hated each other. But still, a daughter they wanted, and a daughter they had!... But, uh oh! Creepy! Who knew that Wednesday Addams would be their last straw?...

Jokes (from her own words) aside, Giselle was born to an already failing marriage and barely present brothers, so she missed most of the nasty stuff, all she got was mommy and daddy having very loud private tmes and not really seeing them together, so she does say that she had a good childhood, after all, she had everything she could ever ask for and a huge mansion...

In reality, though, Giselle was definitely neglected to compromise her parents' work-life and their own divorce, they tried their hardest to make up for it the only way they knew how, following their little 'test runs'. Her father used diligence and authority to raise Giselle while also properly awarding her feats, something he learned some time after their firstborn cut contact, as for her mother, she attempted to be a nurturing figure, but only giving advice, after their second born's entitlement made things complicated. They each had their own errors though, her father was still very much a control freak and her mother tended to be pretty condescending... but Giselle did, at the end, feel loved by them, and she only knew of a divorce due to a word slip at Christmas, so she does believe they were successful, even after the many nights they weren't there to hear her cries for help after a bad dream.

But hey! Her school life was okay! Giselle was enrolled in a school for, to be bluntly said, rich people, so she would fit in more properly with her peers and she would get top-notch learning. Despite a telling social ineptitude, she was generally left alone as teasing usually flew right over her head... she was, however, still usually alone. As for Giselle's proficiency, she was usually average, though her father essentially forced her to always strive for more and to always take an opportunity, which led her to having a lot of extracurriculars... however, she was always exceptionally good at math and physics, so that was something she had!

However, Giselle's life was about to change forever, as at age 7, left alone in her parents' mansion... she would find 'The Craft' from her mother's film collection, and she would swiftly find herself entranced in witches, then in horror movies, and eventually, entering her adolescence... Giselle would officially become a goth, much to her mother's worry for her daughter's future fashion choices. Which leads us to the second time Giselle's life would change forever in her 13's, as an attempt at the Bloody Mary urban legend would lead up to a clone of herself being taken out of the mirror, after a week or so, she'd introduce her new friend to her parents! It was a very horrifying night for her father.

Things went a little quickly for Giselle, suddenly, their Christmas travels to France halted and her mother became less active in her life, being pressured by her family and her own work to cut connections with a soon to-be-registered mutant, a clear heartbreak from a mother stuck between two lives, as her father suddenly became far more of an active presence in her life, one final promise made by the divorced duo to help her through this new... occurrence. After a few years of research for him, and tentative tutoring about how Giselle couldn't just show up with a twin or use her clone to skip a test, a call was made and the rest is history, as her father quickly struck one more deal after his since finished stock holding days for his daughter's future, Giselle heads for what appears to be 'mutant school', excited for this newfound development... but anxious to finally be let go from her home for sixteen years, sheltered and spoiled.

Powers

xxxxxEnhanced Perspective: Giselle has an acute enhancement to her perception of spaces and angles, for an example, she can give an above-average prediction of the trajectory of something she throws. She also has an awareness as to what her vision tells, for example, she may be able to explain how an optic illusion might work (actual optic illusion, not through mutated power) or be able to properly view things even if dizzy or drunk through an accurate estimation of images.

Catoptric Replication: Giselle can create a clone of herself by pulling her own reflection out of any mirror or other reflective surfaces, as long as said clone can physically pass through the surface. By the moment she pulls that clone out, that reflection vanishes from the surface until it's return, and said clone does not have a reflection of their own. Giselle's clones are individual and only share her current state that she pulled them through with, the more the clones remain the more exhausted the clones get up, the more clones she makes the more she gets exhausted, being then unable to recover until the clones are dismissed. Said clones also have a limited time, vanishing into thin air once too exhausted if they don't return back to a reflective surface, not being able to extend their time through any means currently. Disturbing the reflective source dispels the clone, and lastly, the clearer the reflection is, the easier it is for Giselle to make the clone.

The way Giselle's power actually works, unbeknowst to her, is an atomic configuration through photokinesis, she manipulates the emitted light from the material and slowly molds it into atomic matter as it's being reflected back from a specular mirror. And so it gives the illusion that the reflection is being pulled through the mirror, when in actuality, the replica is being created as light is reflected back to her. As for the why for many of the other details for the clones?... Well, that's what scientists are for, right? Hell, maybe mutants like her can answer these questions, since the clones are made from a sort of light rather than actual organic material, some powers may have a chance to give her an answer.

Skills

xxxxxMusic: Aside from extensive piano lessons she had from a very young age, Giselle's current 'cool thing' she's trying to do is to make a band with her own clones, right now, it seems she has had some success in learning vocals, keyboard and drums... not so much the guitar nor bass, but she continues to try!

Gymnast: Giselle has had gymnastics as one of her extracurriculars, annoyingly kept sharp due to her father's continuous insistence. Still, it does have some result nowadays, as Giselle appears to be pretty flexible and is capable of making some acrobatic moves.

Mathematics: One of the few things that Giselle ever properly built up on her own, maybe it was part of her mutation, but she is actually pretty talented at math, scoring high amongst her peers and WAY higher with her own notes in other subjects.

French: The most annoying thing she has ever had to learn, for once though, it wasn't her father! Giselle's mother essentially made her learn French, to a varying level of success! She can definitely understand it, though she hardly speak it.

Tailoring: Part of a rare moment of a genuine connection between family, Giselle does know how to sew, and has been building it up ever since she took a more eccentric approach to her gothic aesthetic, often sewing her own clothes.
