HEIGHT; 5' 5"

Shadow, as she will always introduce herself, is somewhat on the short side, and skinny, weighing only 120 lbs. However, almost all that weight is lithe muscle. It greatly annoys her, but despite having some interesting physical qualities, such as pointed ears that can swivel to a degree and allow excellent hearing, elongated canines, the top two reaching 2 cm, and her eyes, the red bands of which stretch depending on how angry or connected to her animal side, she's been told she's very striking and tends to attract unwanted attention from males.

Shadow is usually seen in a black cat-suit complete with gloves and boots that have steel on the toes and soles. This suit is made of a unique combination of rubber, leather, and nanites. It protects her from harm, can hold anything within it, including an arsenal of weapons, and reacts to her every thought. However, as the suit tends to attract attention, to blend in, she often resorts to a long-sleeved black shirt and black jeans, but she keeps the gloves and boots just in case.

PERSONALITY

Shadow is usually quiet and reserved, preferring to spend her time away from people and with a good book or around animals, but she must fight every moment to keep in control of an immense amount of rage just waiting to unleash itself on the nearest life form, preferably human. To divulge every little nuance and personality trait and quirk would take years, but these are some basic things to know:

Shadow does not like humans and people at all, and her temper can become quickly unchecked where they are involved. While, if given the opportunity and circumstances are in favor, she would take great delight in exterminating anything even resembling human to cross her path, to keep herself hidden, she does her best to tolerate their presence when solitude isn't possible. Even though she despises humans with every molecule she possesses, animals tip the opposite scale. She'd do anything to protect and help even the most seemingly insignificant of animals. She also loves to read and learn, but she's a bit of a know-it-all, always quick to correct someone's idea of a fact and point out where they're wrong. Although often coming off snobbish and a bitch, Shadow is only like that on the outside.

HISTORY

FAMILY MEMBERS;

• Lilac Elanesse--Mother--Deceased
  
• Jackson Adariah--Father--Deceased
  
• Biological Father (Top Secret)
  

Shadow history is wrought in terror, rejection, and pain. Her entire life she's been feared, hated, and used for what she is. Orphaned at a young age, she's never gotten over thinking it was her fault. Thrust into an underworld of fear and pain, she became the first to ever escape only recently and is still hunted. Trained to be the best to ever come from the murky hell of her previous residence, she must now live with extra challenges.

From the moment she was born, Shadow was different. She always seemed more intelligent and aware than most babies. There were also the obvious physical differences. As word began to spread, townsfolk began to make threats, claiming they had to destroy the demon child to protect their own. Her parents moved away and set up security measures, but that didn't stop the torment. Rejected from every school because of her looks and attitude, she was home-schooled, learning very quickly. Despite trying to hide it, though, and keep their lives as normal as possible, Shadow was never quite like a human child, and she was saddened by the knowledge that her parents feared her, as well.

Her sixth birthday heralded the biggest change. This was when she was kidnapped, her parents killed when they tried to retrieve her. Shadow has never stopped blaming herself, refusing to see any other explanation for their deaths. Upon becoming an orphan, Shadow was thrown into the depth of a secret organization bent on creating the perfect biological weapon. Bribes, murders, and strict rules keep the Facility's heinous deeds out of the public's eye, and perhaps this is for the best. Ten long years of nothing but torturous training and living conditions, experiments, and repressing a natural monster have turned this child into the very thing the Facility was after. A biological weapon with a thirst for blood. The first to ever escape, Shadow is determined to stay free and destroy the place that turned her world upside down and ruined millions of lives in its short existence, the place that took what normal life she could have lived and stripped her of anything civil. She's hoping the Academy can help her better learn to control herself and unlock more of her powers so that once her task is accomplished, she can make sure she'll never be found.

Powers

POWERS; Accelerated healing, Animal morphing, Darkness/shadow manipulation
ADVANCEMENT; Accelerated healing: Very advanced. It depends on the severity of the wound, but most heal within a minute, the smaller the faster. Animal morphing: Also very advanced, thanks to her training. She is able to change into any form, extinct, present, or imagined, at any speed she desires, however forms that she has never used or has not used extensively take longer to change into and cause her pain. Darkness/shadow manipulation: As she's never seen anyone else with this power, she doesn't know just how good she is, but assumes she's quite talented, able to create shapes and forms out of a shadowy field or shield her presence in dark areas using the lack of light. She can also make the darkness she possesses very cold, freezing a human solid in one minute, or just enough to cause a shiver.
