Backstory:
Where and when did you get your powers?
Baby, I was born this way! I think. I mean, as long as Halcyon Child Services has had a file for me, they've mentioned the weird voice thing. I know you've noticed the voice thing. You know, how each word, and sometimes even each phoneme sounds like it was spoken by a different voice? Yeah - that's a thing I've been doing as long as I can remember. It kinda freaked out my foster parents the first time they started hearing their own voices coming out of my mouth. HCS warned them, but I guess it wasn't enough for a lot of them. Some of my "long term placements" became "short term" very quickly, is all I'm saying. Not that it bothers me or anything...

Anyways, I can keep to a single voice if I want to pay attention to it these days, but...ugh, it's like...so much work. So usually? I don't bother.

And the rest? The shape changing started pretty subtly: I'd hear a cute guy talk about how he likes blondes, and I'd wake up and my hair would be three shades lighter, or I'd see a pretty girl in a magazine, and over a few days, I'd start to look more and more like her. Once I figured out what was going on, it wasn't too hard to practice until I could do it fast, and do it on purpose. And the power mimicry? Well, that's just awesome! I figured out that one when some minor gang banger with powers decided she wanted to rough me up a bit. Sure showed her.

When were your first betrayed?
...

Look, I don't go poking at your emotional scars, do I? Oh yeah, right. I do go poking at your emotional scars. Fine. Fair's fair.

You'd probably think I'm going to say it was one of the long string of foster parents who decided that they couldn't deal with me and handed me back over to HCS, but at first you are too young to understand, and by the time you're old enough to understand, you've gotten used to it. So I'd probably say it was the kid that I thought was my first real friend, back at Halcyon Middle School... until I heard them gossiping with all their real friends about how weird I was, and how I was only being invited along because her parents felt bad for me, and made her include me in things.

Who, outside your peers, do you actually trust?
Teegan Queen got wind of my abilities, and she's kinda taken me under her wing. Yes, that Teegan Queen - the crime lord that runs most of neighborhoods down around the docks and warehouses. She doesn't bullshit me; I know she wants to make use of my powers - and I don't have to pretend to be something I'm not anymore. I ran away after the last set of foster parents threatened to send me back, and I've been crashing with her ever since. I've only got another year or two until I age out of the system anyways, and I'm just sick of dealing with everything.

Why do you think the others keep you around?
