Name: Willow Gender: Female Age/Birthday: 18 / March, 17th Height/Weight: 4’3 / 96lb Nationality: English-Irish Classes: Art, Reading and Writing Comprehension, Species: 58% human, 15% White Willow tree, 14% Kudzu Vine, 13% Belladonna [Deadly Nightshade] Powers: Human Pain Killer: Pumped full of Willow Tree and Belladonna Genetics, Willow can outlast most subjects in even the most strenuous and worst of conditions. Her body instinctively releases metabolized chemicals that can temporarily relieve headache, stomachache, and other bodily pains at the first sign of bodily distress. Regeneration: Willow tree's and Kudzu Vines alike are known for their survival and growth rate. From a single branch, a willow tree can root and sprout anew. In a day, Kudzu Vines can grow up to a foot. With these sporadic genes, Willow's wounds heal very quickly; often in hours to overnight. Because of the growth conditions of both plant genes, Willow can also consciously control and use her vines for subduing and binding targets. Though once the vines grow longer, she cannot retract them and they must be cut to be shortened again. Poisons: Spliced with Bella-Donna [Deadly Nightshade] Genetics, Willow's branches sprout toxic flowers in the spring; and their equally poisonous berries in the summer. She can poison people via consumption of her berries or exposing them to large amounts of pollen, the latter of which would likely have little effect compared to the prior. Willow can also secrete poison through her pores at will and transfer it at a touch; though startling her can also cause an involuntary discharge.
Side effects of Bella-Donna poisoning include sensitivity to light, blurred vision, loss of balance, headache, rash, severely dry mouth and throat, speech impediments, urinary retention, constipation, confusion, hallucinations, delirium, memory loss, tachycardia [accelerated heart rate], convulsions, blindness and death. The plant's deadly symptoms are caused by atropine's disruption of the parasympathetic nervous system's ability to regulate involuntary activities, such as sweating, breathing, and heart rate. Weaknesses: Due to the large percentile of Willow’s DNA being plant, her bones are very fragile and she is greatly susceptible to sickness and dehydration. Without daily sunshine and frequent doses of water, she physically wilts away. Symptoms of sickness are basic cold symptoms or lethargic behavior and dullness or dryness in her leaves. She also has a very low stamina, able to handle only so much strenuous activity before her system is forced to fuel her with a technical ‘steroid’ during a given “flight or fight” situation. The weather can also be affective to her physical status, in these cases, where in warm and sunny days or April showers boost her energy, but colder and cloudier days slow her down to practically hibernation mode. Willow does well to get plenty of sunshine, though, and trim herself weekly, often sleeping outdoors to soak in all the morning sun possible; and sleeps half the hours of the average human, least her vines decide to root themselves while she rests; a habit that has gotten her into several sticky situations in the past.
Personality: Willow is very polite and thus quickly put off by people with a lack of common courtesy. She’s eloquent and humble, easily impressed by the simplest feats. And despite her lack of education and naivety, she’s very wise to the workings of the world. Although she seems and acts very young, Willow often displays bouts of maturity and a dislike of being treated as any less, making it very awkward for her peers when she becomes maternal towards them.
History: Willow was never born, but rather grown from a genetically altered fetus that was planted in the ground. Her creation was a classified experiment, executed for the sole purpose of experimenting on the stability of Plant DNA in mutants. Though successful, her original purpose as an Eraser would never fully come to be, as the child was much too fragile for field work.
Set aside for Study, Willow was confined to her new home in a European Botanical Garden Facility that posed as a front for an Erasers Headquarters. Proving to be nearly harmless, she was granted free range throughout the entirety of the facility, with some restrictions to avoid discovery by visitors and to keep out from underfoot of the busy scientists. Her time at the Botanical Lab was spent as a sort of mascot pet, making idle chatter with the scientists and playing in the 500 acre garden. Because she lacked an education, her time was spent scribbling words and symbols she didn’t understand. She’d never had many friends, but was content with the company of the few mutants she ever met and the people who created her; never knowing or caring for any life beyond the lab. Curiosity would always catch her off guard though, as she often saw human children visiting the labs.
One misfortunate day, without a thought towards the repercussions, Willow disguised herself and slipped away with the touring children to a local park down the street, where the class was breaking for lunch. No one had noticed the extra head until they all began to settle down to eat. Lunch-less and at a loss, Willow began to sneak berries off of her covered branches, inevitably drawing the attention of nearby children who prodded her curiously before pleading for her to share. Too giddy and pleased for their attention, Willow gave them her offerings without a thought for the danger of it. One by one, the children reacted to the poisonous berries; some gasping for breath, others falling into violent coughing fits that beckoned the attention of curious and worried teachers. That day, 5 children died of Belladonna poisoning. Plus one adult who suffered a severe heart attack, as a result of poisoning, after startling Willow with his panic over the event.
Much attention was drawn to the tragic event. After a trip to the hospital and several investigative days later, Federal Agents of Maximum Academy attended to the distraught Willow, giving what few answers they could, and getting as many back. The Agents then offered Willow a proper education and a safe environment at the school they supported, and she was escorted almost immediately.
Interesting Facts: -Willow’s branches change and turn with the season, just like any other tree. During the spring, her branches sprout buds and bloom flowers. In summer, her leaves darken and her branches are laced with berries. In the fall, her leaves redden and fall away. And in the winter, because its condition embarrasses her so, Willows branches become bare and are covered through till spring by scarves, sheets and hats. -Willow ages a lot like trees, and is, in fact, a young adult. Her aging process was vastly de-accelerated due to the genes of the white willow. It is thought, by the scientist who created her, that she might live as long as a typical tree, too; good health permitting. -Although she seems very young, Willow is really as mature as any 20 year old, with all the same desires and pleasures. This makes daily life very difficult for Willow. Quotes: [none]
Oh she's so cute XD So cute Only one thing though- the color of your application It resembles the color of the apps of the Principal's/Vice Principals applications
does it? Sorry. I've seen other students with altered app colored. I figured it be okay, because the red and green make for sore eyes. @v@;; If you can supply the Principal application, I can adjust my app color to something off key enough that it doesn't cause confusion? Otherwise, I think that it should be obvious enough that she's no teacher, considering the marking of the app clearly says student. Entirely your call, though.
Age limit for students is 5 to 18 I'm sorry but it's the rules ;A; I love your character though
