DOES THIS CAPE MAKE ME LOOK FAT?

FACE CLAIM — Logan Browning
BACKUP FACE CLAIM — Zendaya

APPEARANCE — 162cm, 56kg. Because the iconic white hair and blue eyes thing is known to skip several generations, Elea didn't get it. At first she was pretty upset about it, because she thought it was the coolest thing ever as a child! The most stunning and unique feature that Elea possesses is her eyes, which are a strange grey-green shade. These are framed with thick eyelashes. She has 2 lobe piercings on each ear. Her hair, when natural, is a 3c (see here). She usually leaves it out but for serious or formal events, she tends to tie it up in a bun.

FASHION STYLE — Elea is all about making a statement, even through her clothing. Whilst she personally isn't that into fashion, she appreciates that how you present yourself shows an image to the rest of the world who don't know you, and she aims to show that you can't mess with her (even though she's not as tough as she wants people to think) as well as sending some very powerful messages. She either wears fashionable clothing with colour themes, (e.g. black and white, cream and dark blue) or oversized denim/combat jackets over a plain, slim fitted tshirt. She wears a lot of high profile designers and heels to elevate her slightly below average stature. She has a nice figure and she knows it, so doesn't hide behind baggy clothing and flowy layers - unless she's at home, of course! Whilst she doesn't like to wear makeup every day, she does like to wear it for special occasions.

SUPERHERO LOOK —

Elea, being the prideful girl she is, thinks of herself as indestructible due to her impressive powers, which carried down from her mother's lineage. Therefore she has no weapons or real protection - she wears a grey crop top, black sports leggings and a black trenchcoat, which she usually leaves untied (a subtle nod to her mother). Her shoes are black combat boots and her hair is usually left free. To control her powers, she wears a limiting bracelet (just called a limiter). She can still use her powers but there is no way of them getting completely out of control. She wears a mask which is like a mix of the two above - glamourous yet practical!

WHY AREN'T THERE SYNONYMS FOR 'ME'.

TRAITS — confident, sassy, quick witted, athletic - pathalogical liar, irrational, confrontational, manipulative

PERSONALITY — now start talking about the traits.

CONFIDENT - Elemisha has a lot of self confidence and has high self esteem. However, it hasn't always been this way. When she was younger she was bullied, causes her to really hate herself. She sank into a depression but thankfully she isn't like that anymore. However, it's something that never really goes away. However, Elle has grown to love herself and whilst she has bad days sometimes, she is very strong and she is able to overcome them!

SASSY - Her interest in becoming a lawyer stemmed from her ability to fight and win arguments and generate quick responses to insults. She doesn't let anyone talk down to her if they try and is more than able to defend herself in a verbal battle. If something is wrong, such as how someone is treated, Elea will call them out - after going through the experience herself, she knows firsthand how damaging it can be and refuses to let anyone get away with snide comments or bullying. She hates all the bad things that happen in our world and she likes to do volunteer work. She is always sassing out Donald Trump for all of his misconducts and she tries to make the world better.

LOYAL - Misha doesn't make friends easily, but once she accepts you, you become family. She is fiercely protective of those she is close with. Whilst it is initially easy to get into that circle of friends, the way she treats them probably makes it worth it. She can be vulnerable around those she trusts instead of putting up the confident and strong facade that she always has. Rather than always talk about herself, she would much rather listen to her friends' problems and help them out. She also likes throwing birthday parties for them, despite not being friends with all of their friends.

BUBBLY - Even though she acts badass most times, Elemisha is honestly just a softie. She gets excited and happy about pretty much everything, like discovering an old song she used to love or making a recipe perfectly, and all her friends love this about her, especially as it is so different to her outwards persona. Elea doesn't show this side of herself to many people, just her friends and family, but sometimes she accidentally lets it slip in public and tries to pretend it never happened.

PATHALOGICAL LIAR - This is possibly Elemisha's worst trait. She is a really good liar and fell into a habit of slipping small lies into everything. She got in trouble for it a lot as a child, but still did it when she was older - she just got better at weaving the lies into her everyday speaking. Whilst not big lies, Elea does have a tendency to overexaggerate a whole lot and slip in a few lies.

IRRATIONAL - Despite being so clever, Elea just... doesn't think. She acts before fully thinking of what she's doing, which has led to a lot of embarrassing or humourus accidents on her part. She doesn't like planning, but instead prefers spontaneity. She is so annoying due to this trait, and is always berating herself for doing stupid things. However, she just can't seem to learn from her mistakes!

CONFRONTATIONAL - Whilst not fully "up in your face", Misha doesn't just leave something be if someone has wronged her, she can be very irrational which is her downfall. She hates to see things that are wrong and will call you out n

MANIPULATIVE - As she is going into the law profession, Elea has to be able to make people agree with her, which, despite being useful, is not exactly the nicest trait to have. She is able to get away with missing class or forgetting homework really easily, and once she persuaded her professor to give her an A* for something she hadn't even handed in! She tends to use it more to get her own way than to help people, but she doesn't always use it for selfish reasons. However, she usually does!

BACKGROUND — Explain how they grew up and got their powers. Explain their relationship with their superhero parent.

Elea was born in New York to Ororo Monroe and James Akintayo. They were never married or even in a romantic relationship, so she chose her mother's surname. Her parents were friends, and she was the mistake of a drunken accident, but she was never made to feel unwanted. Growing up, she didn't exactly have a very sheltered lifestyle, and this was mainly due to her powers. Whilst her parents had known of Storm's lineage of weather abilities, neither of them had expected for the powers to manifest so strongly or early. Because she was unable to control it at 7 years of age, she was removed from school and homeschooled by her father, a university lecturer, whilst Ororo taught her how to control her amazing new powers. Elea's parents were never married, so she was brought up being ferried between the two of them like a parcel. Ororo, due to her line of work, was unable to take care of her daughter but she loved her very much. Therefore, Elle was left to her clueless father. Because he had no idea how to look after such a small person, Ellie had to pick up a lot of skills quickly, such as cooking and cleaning.

Once Storm decreed her ready to return to school at age eleven, both Elea and Storm were expecting for her to attend Charles Xavier's school. However, James forbid that she go to school with "other freaks" and that she should be made to feel "normal". This was the start of the rift between Elea and her father. Despite these cruel words spoken under the influence of a little alcohol, Storm decided that it would almost a betrayal for her not to be in the school. She couldn't outright enrol her, as Storm having a daughter was kept secret and so she couldn't fight for custody. That was when Storm starting bringing in Elea to interact with the other kids and slip into a few lessons whilst not being a student. Instead, she was enrolled to a public school. Elemisha had no idea of how to interact with others her age, and was severely mocked for it. She had no friends and people feared her when they found out about her powers. She still couldn't fully control them, and could barely keep them in control. Her mood would influence the environment suddenly, or there would be a small storm whenever she forgot to keep her guard up and that scared even her. The girl was very miserable there and her self esteem plummeted. She was desperate for someone to help her, but the teachers turned a blind eye to the bullying and she didn't want her parents to be disappointed in her. She experienced a lot of racism and soon learnt that no matter what she did, they wouldn't stop with their merciless jeering. Eventually, after two years, Elea broke down and told her mother everything. Rightfully angry, Ororo stormed (hehe), disguised of course, to the school and threatened to have them shut down for allowing it to get so extreme as physical torment without stepping in. Misha was removed from the school and sent to live with her aunt and uncle in Wales, as well as given a limiting bracelet that would subdue her powers when she was wearing it, as that was the only way to ensure that she wouldn't cause any damage. The reason they sent her so far away was because Wales was slightly remote, and nobody would know who Elea was. She soon grew to love Wales due to the friendly atmosphere and compassionate people.

Elemisha studied in Wales and along with her aunt's help, passed all of her GCSEs and A Levels with flying colours. Due to her excellence, she was accepted into Cambridge to study law, a dream that she'd had since not long after moving to Wales. However, Elea was inexplicably pulled from Cambridge after the first year, which left her heartbroken. She was initially angry at her mother for bringing her back to America, for no other reason than "keeping her close", but after learning of the new Avengers she calmed somewhat. However, she didn't trust easily and she was wary of why she, daughter of an X-men member, was accepted into a team for children of Avengers. (It was actually in part due to a rivalry between the two, and because Storm was uncomfortable with the idea of fighting alongside her daughter due to fear for her safety, hence why she initially was accepting of the Y.A., hopeful that she would be happier amongst gifted people of her own age especially due to her previous inability to make friends. Basically, Storm hoped she would finally feel like she fit in somewhere with people like her) Therefore, when she met the others, she didn't bond with them, preferring to stay in solitude apart from with Zuri. Due to the relationship that was previously had by Zuri's dad and Elea's mum, they had already formed a friendship. However, she didn't like or trust the others initially. After Zuri pushing her into getting to know the others, she begrudging formed tentative friendships with the children of Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and the other non-Avenger children, as she felt she could relate to them most. She soon opened up more and was able to become more comfortable around the others. Whilst she was now a lot more confident in handling her powers, she still couldn't control it properly.

OCCUPATION OR STUDENT — Elea is in her last year of studying law at NYU before going to a law school. She used to have a night job as a bartender, but got fired after a customer d her and she slapped him. She decided not to look for a new job because she knew the new Avengers would require a lot of random hours during the day.

✖ FAMILY —

MOTHER | MONROE, ORORO | 40+ | WISE, KIND, PLAYFUL
— Storm and her daughter are very close, and Elea respects her mother so much because of all she's been through. Elemisha is very precious to her mother and they are very protective of each other. She dotes on her daughter but was also strict on her when she was growing up, knowing that it was essential for her to learn to control her powers. Ororo has impossibly high expectations for her daughter, and despite her about to go to law school and being a superhero, Storm still expects more.

FATHER | AKINTAYO, JAMES | 40+ | SCATTERBRAINED, FORGETFUL, GENIUS
— James loves his daughter a lot, but misses the days when she was just his little girl and fears that he is losing that, so their relationship is becoming sadly distant. He teaches at her uni so she does occasionally see him around, but they don't interact on school grounds more than giving each other a brief smile or an acknowledging nod. He knows about her being in the new Avengers so he sometimes covers for her when she has to disappear.

✖ FRIENDS —

WELSH BESTIE | FORREST, BETHAN | 22 | INTELLIGENT, SOCIAL, PERSISTANT
— After moving to Wales, Bethan tried to befriend Elea. Although she was initially unsuccessful, Bethan eventually became really close with Elle, and they know everything about each other, including Elea's powers. As Bethan went to Cambridge University along with Elea, they were able to remain close - until Elemisha had to move back to America. They facetime at least once a week to catch up, but text almost daily. Although Elea didn't tell Bethan that she was in the Young Avengers, Bethan figured it out within a month, because she knows her best friend all too well.

CLOSE FRIEND | DEVARAJAN, SARINA | 26 | ADVENTUROUS, LOYAL, FUNNY
— These two became friends when they both worked as bartenders in a club. They bonded over a mutual hatred of Donald Trump and the sleazy rich men who thought they were God's gift to women. After finding out that they were both studying law, Sarina and Elea became even closer, if possible. They have a lot of playful banter and Sarina is able to guide Ellie through the intricacies of law.

FAMILY FRIEND + CLOSE FRIEND | ZURI | 21 | GENUINE, CURIOUS, OPTIMISTIC
— Due to the... relationship that their superhero parents had in the past, they knew each other very well. When Elea was still in isolation (homeschool), Zuri was probably the only person her age that she could talk to. They have a lot in common, both having royalty in their bloods and being from Africa. As they both speak Yoruba and Swahili, they are able to carry out conversations in front of others without them understanding what the hell they're on about. They are protective of each other and Elea is really glad that Zuri is on the team, because otherwise she has no idea how she'd be able to deal with all the new people alone.

CLOSE FRIEND | LORENZO, CHRISTIAN | 24 | FLIRTY, LOUD, PROTECTIVE
— Christian Lorenzo first befriended Elea on her mother's orders. Storm had saved his family's lives and so he was indebted to her. Storm, concerned for her daughter, sent Christian to keep an eye on her when she first transferred university, as she was worried that her enemies may take notice of her now that she was back in America. When Elea found out, she was initially furious that one of her closest friends had been asked to befriend her. Soon, however, she accepted him back into her life as one of her closest friends. He works for SHIELD and so knows all about the Y.A.

✖ OTHERS —

CLASSMATES | NYU STUDENTS | 18-23 | ??
— Elea much prefers having a smaller number of close friends than a large number of superficial friends, so she doesn't befriend everyone. However, she tries to be fairly friendly towards her classmates, unless they're a bully or something.

TEAMMATES | YOUNG AVENGERS | 16-26 | ??
— After initially being distant, Elemisha began to warm up to them. However, she is closest to Zuri still. She finds herself able to bond best with those whose parents weren't in the Avengers. They learn to trust and rely on each other both on and off the battlefield. However, there is a lot of bickering, friendly or not, that goes on between them all.

WHO KNOWS HOW TO DISMANTLE A SECURITY CAMERA?

ALIAS — WINTER

POWER —

Weather manipulation

can summon:
✖ — lightning
✖ — snow (this is her favourite because she can make it snow whenever she wants)
✖ — hail
✖ — rain
✖ — wind

other abilities:
✖ — can fly with wind (but can't do it for more than 5 mins at a time)
✖ — can levitate objects with wind (but can't do it for more than 5 mins at a time)

ABILITIES — Years of boxing and gymnastics make her flexible and good at hand to hand combat. However, she relies on her power the most.

THE TEAM — Whilst initially disliking the idea of Young Avengers, Elea quickly grew fond of her team members and new friends. This surprised her because it usually took her longer to let down her guard around people. However, she wouldn't consider all of them her close friends.

HEY. YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, RIGHT?

LOVE INTEREST — Male or female applicant please :) (preferably Adrian Fury if he's accepted)

FACECLAIM — If you have a OC for a love interest or if the name is different from their actual name.

BACKUP LOVE INTEREST —male or female applicant please :)

ETHNICITY — Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

BIRTHDAY / AGE — Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

POWER OR ABILITY — do they have a power or ability? Are they a superhero?

ALIAS — if they are a superhero? what's their alias? If not, delete this.

PERSONALITY — Describe it to me. ( One or two paragraphs or more is fine)

FIRST MEETING — This was probably when the Young Avengers met for the first time, as Elea's mum wasn't a part of the Avengers.

INTERACTION — They would probably be arguing quite a lot but there is a lot of , to the point where everyone is like "Oh my God, just kiss already!". But somehow, neither of them would realise that the other liked them too. Their personalities clash a little so they heads often but otherwise they're not really friends as such, more frenemies, but both of them would drop everything to go to the other in their time of need. They'd probably use Snapchat as their main method of communication, but they both prefer face-to-face. Maybe she accidentally called him instead of her mother after a nightmare and he drove over to console her, and then it became a regular thing. However, they both refuse to speak of it in the daytime.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: still just friends but quite flirtatious
