Name: Penny Saunders
Age: 18
Gender: cisfemale
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: bubbly, enthusiastic, smiley. Doesn't take things massively seriously, mainly because 'fighting' has been a sport or game up until this point. She's never had to face a real actual fight, so while she is skilled, she's somewhat overconfident and too chilled
History: wip (ideas?)
Hybrid appearance: Human form: black wraps, similar to a ninja outfit. When in 'battle' her outfit is also shrouded in intangible shadow mist, helping disguise her (in 'battle' mode, it is impossible to tell she is female, or whether she is holding something small for example.) Ordinarily looks like a normal human. Thin and flexible build, jet black hair, pale skin
Relationships: None
Crushes: open
Family: none/wip (open for siblings if anyone wants)
Species: Shadow-hybrid
Powers:
1)Shadow form: She turns her body (partially or fully) into a shadow on a surface. The shadow form cannot interact with real objects or people and must still obey gravity. It can transfer onto other adjacent surfaces, provided it can reach them. The shadow is harmed if touched with a light source of exposed to particularly bright light.
2)Shadow construct: can only produce a small amount of shadow-matter (about one cup full). Construct is viscous and sticky. Usually used to blind or bind opponent's hands or feet.
3)Pin shadow: uses a sharp weapon to pin enemy's shadow to the ground (maybe inspired by Decidueye)
Strengths: fast, good reactions, martial arts expert, skilled with non-lethal takedowns
Weaknesses: Not massively strong, sensitive to bright light, not massively effective if opponents have weapons, distance or powers themselves, personality means the Shadow powers aren't quite as intimidating as they could be
Extra: I tried to make her personality a contrast to what you would normally associate Shadow powers with (e.g. edgy and brooding). Ideally I'd like her to carry kakute and/or throwing knives into battle. The kakute are small spikes on rings that are worn on the middle finger and thumb, designed to strike pressure points on shoulder or arm.
