Profile

A mouse girl, basically. She's small, only 15 cm (16 if you ask her), and weighs in at a whopping 227 grams (just over half a pound). That and she shares a great many features with a mouse except she prefers two legs, has opposable thumbs, and overall is much more talkative and animated. A mutant who's mutation left her in a rather awkward situation has made the best of her life and is currently working on her own version of education while doing her best to protect those that she can.

Description:

At first glance, one might mistake this girl for a simple mouse but upon any closer inspection one would know that this is no mouse. She has the features, a bit of a snout with a pink nose, and those large satellite like ears do stand out but her solid black eyes twinkle with an intelligence that doesn't fit a mouse. Her mouth far more animated and mobile under her nose. She stands on her hind legs and what would be forepaws are actually like hands. She has a tuft of white hair atop her head and her overall fur matches. She wears a dark green cloak, showing signs of wear and dirty, that falls to her ankles with a grey bit of cloth wrapped around her top while what appears to be a dark red pair of pants. Her feet are bare and mouse like.

History

History 1:
Kaida was born to Sakura and Shaemus Connolly. An odd pair to be sure but both loving parents who's families had moved to America for prosperity that they mostly found. When they had Kaida, they were quite loving and proud. As time passed, her father encouraged a hobby that kept her active and her mother encouraged various scholastic aspects. Early on her father gave her many options of physical activity and hobby she could do but one she took to quickly was sword play. Her father supported this and signed her up for fencing lessons as well as taught her what he knew about the art. It was an art that had been passed down through his family from the time of warriors to now when it was just a thing that child and parent could share.

Thanks to her mother's influence, she'd not just be learning about blades. By the time she was 10 the girl proved to be quite the talent for languages, having learned a solid grasp on Japanese, Mandarin, Gaelic, and English. She also proved to be smart as a whip in school. While not a super genius or anything, the intelligent girl skipped two grades and by the time she was 12 years old was starting her first years in High School.

Unfortunately, tragedy and fate would hit her close together. Her mother, for one, would end up collapsing on both her father and mother halfway into Kaida's first year in high school. Turns out, she had a rare heart condition and while out jogging as a family she'd simply fall to the ground. Despite the best efforts of all involved, the situation was beyond anyone's control.

Both father and daughter were devastated. Kaida had always been taught to help people and that those who don't act are terrible and yet...she felt so helpless. What actions could she have taken? Like many who lose loved ones, both Kaida and Shaemus would spend a time questioning their actions. However, then genetic fate would act.

While returning home from school after just turning 14, Kaida would see a man being attacked in an alleyway. A couple of thugs had found a homeless man to pick on and so she snatched up a stick and told thetm to stop. Trying not to let the fear in her voice, the girl was trained to use a sword and a stick could do as a substitute but she never had been in a real fight. As the men turned their attention to this teen girl, things started to get weird.

At first she swung the stick as she had been taught with a blade but when one shoved it aside and rushed her, she seemed to simply vanish. Gone. She really wasn't though. The men stared down at the pile of clothes in confusion and then started to look around to try to figure out what was happening. However, before they could investigate further, sirens started to make them question their choices. Someone with better street smarts than Kaida had called the cops. For Kaida, things were...different.

History 2:

Kaida heard all the commotion but everyone was...different. She was trapped in what felt like a massive collapsed tent. She'd soon learn that this was her shirt and as she shoved her way out of it, she'd both realize she was not only now tiny but also...furry and mouse like. She'd scream and...well, no one would hear. The city was far too loud to hear a mouse like girl screaming in an alleyway. Worse, everything was loud and all the smells and...Kaida nearly fainted as she struggled to crawl out of her clothes. Before long she'd simply flee the scene and try to make her way home.

The first night, she'd end up staying in a box only a few blocks from where things had changed. She was somewhat lost thanks to her new perspective, all the new sensations and just general confusion. It'd be a few days before she even would be able to calm down her mind enough to take in all the new senses.

Meanwhile, her father was a mess. His wife dead and now his daughter missing, he was out in the streets putting up flyers. Searching for her. Devastated was an understatement. By the time Kaida finally did make it home over a week later, she'd find the place a mess and her father not home. When he finally did get home, he was drunk and wild. Walking in a mess of a man who hadn't taken care of himself in a week and nearly out of his mind with grief. When Kaida tried to get his attention he got enraged that on top of everything else in his life he now had rodents in home. He attacked Kaida, far too gone to even realize that this was no ordinary rodent and Kaida fled in fear.

Over two years would pass from this time and Kaida would adapt. She figured out quickly that she hadn't just become a mouse girl. She'd also gained the ability to move with incredible bursts of speed, was quite tough (she got run over by a car once and that is not a way you wanna use to find out you can survive getting run over by a car), agile, and rather strong for her size. She'd end up finding a home with many other wayward souls who were not at all worried about her presence. Over time, they'd come to love having her around as she kicked a few miscreants teeth in for them (sorta literaly) after she realized her speed and durability could pack quite a small wallup and so they'd give her food they found and she'd do the same.

In the meantime, she'd slip not only into a nearby high school to keep up her studies but also would go to Columbia University to sneak into various Biochemistry classes there, read some of their library books at night and just generally try to keep up with some semblence of normalcy given her situation.

Personality

Personality:

Kind, fierce, cocky, spunky, and add a dash of melancholy all are a good description for Kaida. Like many people, she's a mixture of all of it. She's a girl who seems to have lost everything who has chosen to make the best out of a bad situation. Partially out of not knowing what else to do and partially to completely avoid the fear that has settled into her since her father attacked her. She was raised to help people and so she is protective of her new home. It might be an abaonded building but the people there care for her and she cares for them as such. She cares for family and wants to be helpful. She wants to learn and grow and become and yet she worries she'll never become much due to her changes. Further, she continuously avoids her father because she's worried about what might come of them meeting again.

Despite all this conflict, she puts on a brave front most days. Spunky, talkitive to those who will listen and take her seriously. She tries to spend her days smiling and treating people well. Helping where she can and keeping busy. Those that know her would think she's happy as can be at her size and shape but secretly she kinda wants to just be back to normal and go home to her dad. For now, she's doing what she can.

Abilities

Click to expand.

Physical Enhancement:
Despite her size, she can actually lift just under 5 kg (10 lbs), is as tough as a concrete block (capable of taking upwards of 8 tons of force), and is incredibly agile to the point where she can even dodge arrows or crossbow bolts. She's actually fast enough to dodge someone firing a gun if she can see them using her speed to dodge the shooter more than the bullet. In small bursts and in straight lines she can hit speeds of upwards of 300kph. Maintained speeds, she can travel faster than most cars are on a freeway at speeds right at 130 kph. For her, moving at that speed is similar to someone doing a solid run. She can maintain it without hestiation for up to 30 minutes but mainly cause she needs to eat.

Senses:
Her sense of smell and hearing are enhanced greatly, as powerful as a mouse's sense of smell and hearing. She can pick out scents across an entire room and use scent to find someone or something as easily as someone might use sight. Her hearing is not simply enhanced as far as distance goes (capable of hearing most sounds throughout an entire house) but her frequency range is greatly increased to hear from 1000 hertz all the way up to 90,000 hertz. As such she can not only hear at a distance but pick out very quiet sounds as well as incredibly high pitched ones.

Teeth and Claws:
Ok, her claws won't be doing anyone any real damage as they are far too small for that but they do give her an uncanny climbing ability to the point where she can climb basically any surface that isn't sheer (such as glass or metal) by grasping any tiny imperfection in the surface and scrambling up. Her teeth, while not built for damage are incredibly sharp and not anything that you'd want chomping into your flesh, especially with a bite force that can exceed 13 kg over a very tiny area.

Tiny:

Being small has its advantages. At only 15 cm tall, she can slip into many places that people can't and easily slip by people that might otherwise see someone of normal size. Further she's just generally a harder target to hit due to size alone. Not to say being small doesn't come with its weaknesses, but the advantages are there and she takes them.

Skills

Click to expand.

Biochemistry:
While she has done her best to keep up with studies via sitting in on classes in a nearby high school, she's been focusing much of her time to increasing her knowledge in biochemistry by sneaking into more advanced classes and learning what she can. She's not far into it but she knows far more about basic biochemistry than most first year students.

Combat:
She has a great deal of basic knowledge of fencing and traditional sword fighting. She hasn't been in very many real sword fights outside of practice and a couple of tournaments. She has used her skills to fight some street riff raff but has no real experience. She also has started to learn how to use her speed and agility along with her durable form to not just cut but also simply slam into people. Overall, she's a novice but learning in the area of combat.

Intellect:
While by no means a super genius, she's a very smart girl. She's a fast learner and likely would have finished High School two years early with AP credits had it not been for all that took place in her life. Even so, she's done her best to teach herself through study and sneaking into classes she isn't a part of using her abilities.

Languages:
She is fluent in English, Gaelic, Mandarin, and Japanese. She has a beginning understanding of Spanish, French, and German though she never got far with any of them. She has a natural talent for languages, picking them up much faster than most and able to swap between them quickly.

Stealth:

While she has no formal training in stealth, between necessity, her size, and abilities, she has an incredible talent for stealth. Most already don't look down to begin with but her abilities further enhance things. Due to her speed and agility she can move between hiding spots fast enough to likely not even be noticed. Her size allows her to find more places to hide and move locations to move through than most could.

Resources

Click to expand.

Custom Pack & Clothes:
A sweet older homeless woman was able to sneak a bit of cloth and string and fashioned her a little backpack. It's big enough that she can pack in quite a bit of food into it and yet it still sits on her well enough to not get too much in the way when she's running. A custom backpack for a mouse girl. Further, she made a nice little cloak, shirt, and pants for the girl out of available scraps.

Sword:

Thanks to a kind hearted young man who she first spoke to in the abandoned home she takes up residence in, she was able to get a very tiny sword. He was able to help her cut a small piece of metal and wrap the base of it to create a handle. He helped her sharpen the small steel blade that is right at 8 cm long with a small wrapped hilt for her to hold on to. It's not impressive looking but it is her little sword and is sharp enough to cause some nasty little cuts.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Cocky:
This is a bad thing for her. She's a tough little thing and can do more damage than most people ten times her size but she is still very tiny and very weak comparitively. She is beyond brave and it can get her into many situations that are far over her head.

Food:
She eats...a lot. Mice eat a lot during a day and she's amplified in that respect. She eats upwards of two lbs. of food a day and sometimes more if she's using her powers actively. She gets hungry fast and typically eats hourly, often keeping snacks nearby or with her so she can always have something to gnaw on. If she goes too long without food she can start to get exhausted fast if she is actively using her powers to move quickly.

Her Father:
Her Father is still out there, wishing his daughter would come home and in a lot of ways she wishes she could go home to him. Frankly, in many ways she could but she is afraid to even try. Will she make things worse? Will he hate her? Blame her? Be terrified? Be broken by knowing the truth? It's just unclear to her and the thought of it haunts her.

Size:
Her most obvious flaw is her size. Being only 15 cm tall means she simply can't do what larger people can do. She can lift ten lbs. but anything larger is beyond her. She has to jump up or climb up to places that a normal person could just lean on. Everything around her is huge and nothing is really built for her size.

Stuck:

Seemingly, Kaida is stuck as a mouse girl. She isn't really sure how to turn back or even if she can ever turn back. As such she is very small (as mentioned in another weakness) and stuck looking like an anthromorphic mouse. She has made the best of the situation but it has been a rather guiding point in her life. She would like to pretend she has accepted her fate but a part of her really would like to get back to normal.
