|Personality=
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Personality:'''</span>
<br>
Tabitha is tired. Tired of being targeted because of her appearance and being an orphan. Tired of watching so many other orphans find homes while she was constantly overlooked. And now that her best friend was killed in arm's reach of her she's tired of hoping for things to get better. She can still find joy in taking care of the younger orphans, and especially in her music but it goes away quickly when she's alone. She's at a point where she's not sure whether she wants to reach eighteen. She's not suicidal at all, but getting removed from the one place she feels safe and human terrifies her.
|Abilities=
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Absolute Pitch:'''</span>
<br>
Tabitha has both perfect pitch and relative pitch, meaning she can identify and accurately recreate musical notes without reference. She is capable of separating and identifying the different layers of complex sounds or multi-track sources and could pick out coherent layers inside garbled static.<br><br>
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Absorption Aura:'''</span>
<br>
Tabitha's body generates an aura that is congruous with her skin. The aura can absorb any form of electro-magnetic, thermal, photonic. or kinetic energy that it comes into contact with. At present time the aura extends no further than the surface of her skin. When active, the field negates any incoming energy of the listed types then converts it to a form of non-specific semi-coherent energy that her body uses to enhance itself in a variety of ways. The aura's absorption rate can be overloaded by extreme levels of incoming energy, and Tabitha's body can only absorb so much before reaching an overflow state.<br><br>
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Aura Healing:'''</span>
<br>
Energy from Tabitha's aura can be channeled into her body as a whole to heal injuries at an increased rate. Minor scrapes or bruises in minutes. Major cuts or lacerations in hours. Broken bones and massive trauma in days. This is the default use that her energy goes to first. If she isn't using the energy in any other way, she's healing. Her body will prioritize healing to preserve her life over anything else and will then work on her from the surface inward. This ability will also cleanse her body of toxins and gives her a tremendous resistance to disease.<br><br>
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Aura Senses:'''</span>
<br>
Every single human sense is the brain interpreting incoming energy. Tabitha's aura changes how energy is transmitted to her brain and thus her senses are affected whenever it is active. The benefit of this is that she can sense things from all around herself. The side effect is that her brain is still adapting to the altered input and thus her senses can come through in unusual combinations in a form of synesthesia. Tasting colors, seeing sound, feeling light, etc. While her brain can interpret things as tastes and smells, her natural senses of taste and scent are not affected as they are based not on incoming energy but chemical reactions. This power is a passive side effect of her aura and does not drain her energy reserves. It is currently erratic, unreliable, and not under Tabitha's conscious control.<br><br>
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Aura Strength:'''</span>
<br>
When Tabitha channels absorbed energy into her muscles and bones she becomes stronger in proportion to her stored charge. Currently she can enhance her strength to peak human potential, or a bit less than a ton of lifting or shoving power. She has moderate control over how much stronger she can make herself, and her energy stores drain faster the stronger she becomes. At full stored charge she can maintain her maximum strength for about half an hour.
|Skills=
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Audio Engineering:'''</span>
<br>
Tabitha's ability in this field is mostly book learned and theoretical at this point, but she's been saving up for more lessons.<br><br>
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Childcare:'''</span>
<br>
As one of the older orphans, Tabitha was often responsible for keeping tabs on the younger kids right down to the babies. She is a top tier babysitter and has experience managing as many as half a dozen children at once.<br><br>
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Cooking:'''</span>
<br>
Tabitha's duties in the orphanage centered around the kitchen. She can prepare a wide variety of meals and cook for a dozen or so at a time herself.<br><br>
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Musician:'''</span>
<br>
Tabitha has taken ever type of music lesson she's ever had access to, and is religiously conscientious in practicing and furthering her skills. She is an accomplished vocalist and skilled in a variety of instruments as well as songwriting. She is at a semi-professional skill level and could find employment in the field with little difficulty.<br><br>
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Widely Read:'''</span>
<br>
Tabitha reads a lot and has never limited herself in topic or genre. There is a chance that she might have relevant knowledge in many topics, although her knowledge will only rarely be more than surface deep.

|Weaknesses=
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Energy Overload:'''</span>
<br>
If Tabitha's aura absorbs too much energy too fast, or reaches charge levels beyond her storage capacity she will reach an overload state. This puts her in a state of neural seizure, locks her aura to 'on', and begins to discharge the excess energy into the nearest ground or path of least resistance (usually the ground beneath her feet, but objects like nearby electrical circuits or lightning rods could also draw the energy in if nearby). Tabitha remains conscious but unresponsive during overload discharge, and will remain conscious but mostly paralyzed for a time afterwards dependent upon how bad the overload was.<br><br>
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''One At a Time:'''</span>
<br>
At present Tabitha can only use her absorbed energy to power one personal enhancement at a time. She can't be extra strong if she's healing, can't heal if she's extra fast, can't be speedy if she's strong, etc.<br><br>
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Vulnerable To Cold:'''</span>
<br>
Tabitha doesn't just hate the cold, she reacts to cold to a much greater extent than anyone or anything else. Ambient temperature affects are as if it were forty degrees colder. Putting her hand in a refrigerator can give her frostbite. Cold food and drinks are an absolute no-go zone. Cold-based attacks or powers hit her extremely hard and any intense exposure to cold negates her energy absorption.

Description:

A waifish girl in her early teen years. Her elfin frame tops out at about four and a half feet and roughly ninety pounds IF she were carrying a ten pound sack of potatoes. Waist length coper hair with a streak of jet black at her left temple frames a triangular face with soft rounded edges, a small sharp nose, and metallic copper eyes with black sclera. Her almost albino pale skin has a faint glitter-like red amber sheen.

Her fashion sense is best described as fifth hand thrift store hand me downs with delusions of gothic steampunk. Jeans, t-shirts, flannel hoodies, leggings, and sneakers all frayed, worn, faded to generic non-colors and rarely a proper fit. On top of that are scattered and semi-random accessories in iron, copper, and leather that seem to have been lovingly made by someone who watched Skillshare vids and really wished they had the right tools.

Three items stand out as not being worn or shoddily made. A pair of black leather fingerless gloves with copper wire accents, the black lace gloves she wears under those, and a layered black lace veil she wears over her hair and face whenever she's outside or in crowds. The leather gloves look like custom work.

History:

From the files of Cynthia Porter: Caseworker

Jane Doe 2012/16 was abandoned at and collected from Eden Baptist Church on Mt Desert island. The infant, approximated to be a day old at most, was assigned to the Bar Harbor Orphan Home and filed with that location's infant naming convention as Tabitha Barr. Infant's medical condition noted as excellent, with notations regarding abnormal pale complexion. Standard search of medical facilities within two hundred miles found no leads on probable parents or relatives. Infant was officially logged as a Ward of the State of Maine.

Tabitha integrated well with the other orphans as a toddler and this has continued to present day. She maintains contact with those adopted where possible, and works to gently integrate new arrivals. Outside of the orphanage is another matter. Her nonstandard appearance, reclusive mannerisms, and orphan status have marked her as a frequent target of bullies. This is exacerbated by her insistence of stepping between area bullies and her fellow orphans, meaning she is singled out as a target of aggression more often as she ages. I have noted in these personal files over the years that she seems to recover from these assaults with remarkable alacrity. I thought little about it until recent events.

Tabitha formed a strong bond with recently orphaned Katrina Evans, whose family died under circumstances still under investigation. The pair remained close at all times, so when Katrina was later kidnapped Tabitha was taken also. The search was barely underway when the fire was reported at the Old Farm. One of the large storage sheds was engulfed. Firefighters found Katrina dead and Tabitha covered in singed scraps of clothing but unhurt. A small area immediately around her was absent of flames and only lightly damaged. Specific details of her condition were kept out of official files with a few words to sympathetic officials. The press released only that she had survived.

This event has only made things worse for Tabitha in regards to her standing in the few of her peers and other townsfolk. She still has two more years until her emancipation from state wardship and I worry that things will only escalate. I have sent feelers out to private academies in the New England states looking for options. Her musical skills are more than enough to get her into one of them, provided I can find out that will look past her now much altered physical appearance.

I hold out hope, but will proceed with caution and discretion.
