A teenage girl, and newly-discovered starchild with shapeshifting abilities. She is desperate to grow up, achieve independence and be treated as an adult. She is ambitious, and motivated by achievement. Her ambition often leads her to being stubborn and hypercompetitive. She tends to be cynical, sardonic, and passive-aggressive. Despite her air of bravado and composure, she tends to be high-strung, and moving to the Thaumatics Center has brought out her nervous side. She is hyperreactive and easily startled. Rather than reveling in her newfound superpower, she instead fixates on the sense of identity and direction that it has cost her.
