==Backstory== ===Standard=== ''When did you first use your powers?'' In middle school, one of her soccer teammates fell and broke her ankle after a bad collision. Kelly suddenly started feeling like her own ankle was hurting, and had no idea why, then managed to reach out and feel Laurie's broken ankle. So she tried to put it back together. ''Who was the first person you accidentally hurt with your powers?'' Laurie, in that first incident. First aid for traumatic injuries hurts when it's being done by a professional. Even worse when done by someone who doesn't actually know what they're doing. She put everything back in the right spot, but... painfully. She first outright hurt someone through her powers going out of control at her first Homecoming Dance in high school. She lost control when some of the senior girls played a prank on her and her friends, and sent snacks and decorations flying. Fortunately, she'd read Carrie (several times) and had resolved never to go down that road. There weren't many injuries and nothing major, but the incident did bring her to the attention of... ''Who, outside the team, helps you control your powers?'' Dr. Weaver, a parapsychologist who's helped Kelly unlock and control her powers. Her own agenda isn't completely clear, though, as she's not on board with Kelly's superhero activities. She might secretly be connected to MK labs or another shady group. ''Why do you continue to use your powers?'' Kelly's motivation is pretty straightforward. She wants to help people, to heal people, to stop bad people. That's why she took up a costume and went hero-ing. And she wants to be famous. Maybe groupies. ''Why do you care about the team?'' Sanguine Squad is getting buzz as up and comers and she knows they'll be in harm's way - so she can help! ===Further Questions=== ''Tell us about your family--who are they? do they know about your super life? how do you get along with them?'' Kelly's father, Andrew, is a petroleum engineer and regional manager in the Hexxon Oil Company. He travels on business a lot, and is not to Kelly's knowledge involved in anything supervillainous. (But I chose a name similar to Marvel's Roxxon for a reason. ) Her mother, Anne, is general counsel for the Cleary Group, a holding company for mostly... real estate stuff. Kelly's kinda fuzzy on that. Her older brother, Troy, who she tagged around with a lot when younger, is at college studying civil engineering. Her younger brother, Eric, is kind of a little shit (in her opinion) and slacking off in high school. Her parents are generally aware she has powers, which is why she's seeing Dr. Weaver, though she's kept them fuzzy on the details besides that she can move things. She hasn't told them about her active superheroing yet. They haven't nudged her to join AEGIS, being wary of big government with big powers, even in the interests of law and order. So far, they're relatively content that she's going to be a doctor. ''What do you get up to when you're not super-ing? School? Job? Fun?'' Kelly is a high school senior planning to study pre-med biology at the prestigious (and expensive) Hull University*. She also volunteers - when she has the time - with LGBT support groups, and has made several appearances in costume (without revealing her identity). While she doesn't have time to properly be in the band anymore, she's keeping up with the flute as her arts elective. *No relation to the real Hull University, but I went through several words and couldn't find one without a real one associated with it so I'm keeping this one. ''When you met Ambassador Bell, what happened? What did you make of her, and what did she make of you?'' While she doesn't broadly agree with her parents' politics, their distrust of AEGIS did filter down to her and meeting Ambassador Bell really didn't help. They met by happenstance, as Stitch was chasing a convenience store robber. He ducked into an alley... which turned out to be occupied. Ambassador Bell was facing down several men in foreign military uniforms. The woman frankly terrified her, with her imposing presence and a psychic aura that Kelly felt like running into a brick wall. Oh, and how she flung one of the men into a wall so hard that both brick and bone cracked. Both Stitch and her quarry edged slowly out of the alley and he quickly surrendered. Stitch felt a hint of Ambassador Bell's awareness focused on her briefly, tinged with a particularly... unimpressed sort of feeling. This meeting is the main reason why Bell isn't on Kelly's list of starting influence. Sorry, Bell.
