{ Mayia Arakai Hikamaru }
"I think that… it's pretty."
Mayia was named by her foster parents. Though she had no memory of them now, she still feels that she had some kind of special connection with her name.
Pronunciation; My-ah Are-ah-k-eye Hee-kam-ah-roo

n i c k n a m e s

{ May, or anything that you can think of }
"My name isn't said with a May in it… But that's what my teacher always called me."
Byron was a man who was assigned to teach and rehabilitate Mayia after she awoke from her comatose state a few months ago. He had taken to calling her May, so that became a kind of nickname to her. She really doesn't care if she has a nickname, but be warned. If you use a nickname on her, she may not respond just because she doesn't get it.

a g e

{ Sixteen }
"I'm not very sure if that's right…"
Mayia has not celebrated her birthday since waking up, so she doesn't understand the concept of having a birthday party, or anything of the sort. Her birthday is in the records, but she doesn't know when or what it is.
March 22

g e n d e r

{ Female }
"I-I'm pretty sure I'm a girl… Do… Do I look like a boy?"
Yep… She's of the female persuasion…

h o u s e

{ Fairfax }
… Yep.

"P-Please don't me be mean to me because I'm small..."
Mayia is petite, slender, and frail looking. She despises this about her, though… She feels like she is too small, that everyone is so much stronger and threatening. It's a large thing that has kept her from interaction with others, the intimidation of size. She constantly wishes that she was taller, stronger, and less clumsy. She blames being light for her clumsiness a lot of the time.

h a i r c o l o r

{ Light Brown }
"I like my hair long. It just makes me feel… safer."
Mayia's hair extends right down to the back of her knees and has slight waves. She hadn't cut her hair in a long time, but if her hair ever gets in her way, she will tie it back if she must. She has a long bang across the right side of her face that she tends to hide behind, so whenever she studies back at her dorm, she is forced to tie it back or to at least move her hair a little.

e y e c o l o r

{ Sky Blue }
"My eyes are interesting… They're like the sky."
Mayia's eyes are a stunning blue. Vibrant and blue like the horizon on a clear afternoon in the spring. She is particularly proud of her eyes, thinking of them as the most redeeming feature that she has, but with her fears and insecurities, she can't seem to look anyone in the eye, and grows very uncomfortable whenever anyone tries to look into hers.

e t h n i c i t y

{ Unknown }
"… What's ethnicity?…"
Mayia was found in a box when she was about four months old, so her ethnicity is unknown. She was found in a small secluded town, and she wasn't recognizable to any of the local doctors. She is assumed to be a mixture of nationalities, mainly Irish and Chinese. Her eyes are narrow, her skin is pale, but not quite white, and she is rather small, so that is what they assume is her Asian half, but her hair is a light brown, and her eyes are blue, so they assumed that she may be Irish or even German as well. No one can be sure, though.

w e i g h t

{ 90 Pounds }
"I know I'm light…"
Mayia has been in the hospital for the last eight months, so she has lost a lot of weight while she was there. She is getting better, gaining weight slowly, but her metabolism is fast, so gaining back a healthy weight may be difficult for her.

h e i g h t

{ 5'0" }
"I-I'm still growing!"
Yep… She's short. She really hates her height, and sometimes, she gets a bit prideful about being able to do things, like reaching something on a high shelf, so she refuses to let anyone help her.

{ The Fabrication }
"I-I…. I… can't…"
Mayia was born as a frail and weak baby. Her birth parents are unknown and her life was spent in an orphanage at the south side of town for about four years. Once she was four, she was adopted by a loving couple. Aria, and Kai Akitora. When they came along, she was happy. They had even adopted another child as well as a stray canine that they had found injured by the edge of the woods. Mayia couldn't have asked for a happier home, but one day, everything just... disappeared, and she was helpless to stop it. Her parents were murdered. How they had died was never specified to her, but she was nearby at their time of death, and she couldn't stay with the police, having snuck away in the dead of night at the first opportunity that she could get. Since then, Mayia had been living alone on the streets. Mayia been taken pity on by a man who worked at an animal shelter when she was ten and began working at his shelter, earning enough for a cheap studio. She had enough to finally go to school again.

Five years later, a fight had broken out in the halls of Mayia's high school and she lost most of her memories. She was thrown back at the wall, injuring her head severely to a point where she had been in a coma for just under a year. Eight months later, she woke up with her canine friend at her bedside. She vaguely remembered her foster family of three, a mother, a father, and a boy just a year older than her but there was not one memory came of a real family. She couldn't remember anything… Not her name, not her life, but there was something that always haunted her. She saw horrible things. Things from all kinds of places, from people she didn't know. She remembered nothing and no one at all except for Hunter, who stayed by her for every second of the day. Hunter was that a silver wolf pup that she had loved since she was little and had been her best friend for that whole time. They were so close that she could have sworn that they were able to speak to each other. Mayia never felt alone with Hunter at her side day in and day out, but he is not allowed onto school grounds. Byron keeps him for now, while Mayia spends her days trying to cope with the school without the only two things in this world that make her feel completely safe.

c r u s h

{ None }
"Crush? I… don't think that I could like anyone like that..."
Mayia actually did have a crush when she was younger. She was once a hardened thief. She had to be able to fight in order to live before her accident, so she was use to it. She had fallen for a boy at her reformatory school, and was going to confess to him after class, but a girl caught wind of this… And a fight broke out. Mayia doesn't remember ever having this single infatuation from the need to feel protected.

s e x u a l o r i e n t a t i o n

{ Heterosexual }
"I've never… really liked anyone before…"
Yeah… Mayia there is a liar. Again, she doesn't remember. So far, she is heterosexual, having only found one guy attractive to her, but who knows? Who she loves will be who she loves.

r e l a t i o n s h i p

{ Scared }
"No, no, no…. I-I couldn't… Not the way I am now..."
Mayia doesn't want to be in a relationship… On the surface. Underneath all that denial, she wishes and hopes to be loved. She has seen a few couples around campus. She always wanted to try some of the things that they were doing, but while she was terrified of everyone, she doesn't think that she can survive a relationship, let alone enjoy one.

p o w e r

{ Energy Manipulation and the Mind's Eye }
"My powers… are… weird."
Energy Manipulation is another way for saying that Mayia is able to move and distribute molecules. The more reactive a molecule is with another, then it appears to her as a certain colour, so along with seeing people, she can also see coloured dots floating around. She is able to control those dots at well, and depending on which she takes, she can do different things. Her abilities are very limited, though, because anything like fusing take a lot of brain power, and whatever she has made has never been stable for long.

As for her second power, she was told that it can be called a Mind's Eye. She has a kind of mind reading ability, but it isn't like hearing immediate or subconscious thoughts. Whenever she sleeps, whenever her mind is relaxed and submissive, she is able to peer into people's memories. Since her ability is so unstable and weak, she can only take the memories that are the strongest, and unfortunately for her, all of the memories that she has witness through her dreams are horrifying and extremely negative. This causes her to become very stressed and frightened as she sleeps, so rest does not come easy.

[[ legal name: Ferris Nayar
[[ called: Wheel, or the Wheeler Dealer. A play, ever so witty on a ferris wheel. Ha hah. We're all laughing.
[[ age: 15
[[ gender: Male
[[ orientation: Hetero.

[[ appearance:

Ferris is average. Fairly good looking - not stunning either way. He's a nice guy, and it shows in his face and posture. He's built to be fairly light on his feet and slender, and he keeps himself this way by track and hiking. His face is extremely mobile and his expressions are volatile. He's a terrible liar, as his face is a faithful servant to his heart, and displays his emotions meticulously. He's agile and fairly strong, with extremely capable hands. He received permission from the headmaster to wear something other than the school uniform due to his power. He wears baggy, stretchy clothes (drawstring black pants, white dress shirts with ties on the side), with straps in places to tie them up or let them out as needed. His hair is dark brown, almost black, and has a tendency to have a mind of its own, and explode into a bunch of straight fly-aways. His eyes are brown, and are reflective at night, like a cat's.

[[ height: 5'6
[[ weight: 130 lbs.

[[ power: Shapeshifter
[[ power details:

Ferris can become someone else. Anyone he knows well enough to portray accurately while pretending to be them, he can copy. Everything is duplicated. Their memory, their personality, their appearance, even their powers are at his disposal. He doesn't know the limitations of his power yet. He can't, yet, become a non-human, and it's hit or miss on becoming someone he's only seen on the telly. Whatever they are though, are merely mental blocks. Ferris is very powerful.

Yet, the drawbacks of his power are a mile long. For starters, once he's become someone else, he has to be convinced that he's really Ferris to change back. Gradually, over a day or two on average, the cognitive dissonance and struggle between his personality and the copied persona send him on irrational seesaws of mood. Eventually, he remembers who he really is, and the other person he's become fades away. Except for hazy memories of the time when he's struggling to reassert his own personality, he remembers nothing of when he's someone else. He could copy an enemy to learn their secrets, yes. But while he's someone else, he really is that person. He'll view his former friends as enemies and fight against them. Also, the more he avoids using his power, the more difficult it is for him to become himself again (currently, the limit is a week without changing). As of yet, the only people he can become, predictably, are those he's touched within the past few days. And finally, every time he becomes someone else, there is the risk that he will never change back.

He has very little control over his power, at present. In the future, he may be able to become a fictional person, a non-human, or just change his appearance and not his mind. His potential is vast, but it may take decades for him to realize it, if ever.

[[ history:

Ferris was adopted, but before you think 'sad orphan yearning for the parents he never knew', nothing could be farther from the truth. He loved his adopted parents, and was a happy kid. He loved acting, and playing pretend when he was little, and soon became very good at drama. His power progressed slowly, first allowing him to copy personalities only. He could become a person on stage or when goofing around with his family. Initially, his family thought it was just very good impressions of people they knew, but after Ferris demonstrated that he actually knew some secrets which only the person he was copying knew... well, they started to get nervous. When Ferris was thirteen, and acting in a local production of a 'true story', he became convinced he was the person he was portraying. And, when he went backstage during the second act, he transformed, and became the person he was portraying physically. His parents were terrified, and the theatre staff nearly hysterical.

Happily, an alumni of Darwin Academy was in the audience that night, and recognized Ferris for what he was. After a long talk with his parents, they decided to send Ferris to Darwin Academy, if they could. They pulled him out of school until Darwin Academy's answer came back. Those few months were a nightmare. Ferris was morphing unpredictably, frightened, confused, and a little giddy with his newfound power. He hardly spent a whole week as himself, now.

When the answer came back, Ferris was ecstatic. He could learn how to use this amazing gift! He'd be the best actor there'd ever been. He remained himself for over two weeks, while packing and saying goodbye to his friends and family. Then, on the bus-ride there, he turned into a beautiful girl he'd met a few weeks before at an ice-skating rink. She was astonished to find herself on a bus to Darwin Academy - which she'd never even heard of - and demanded to be let off the bus. An hour of hysteria later, Ferris had become himself again, blushing and embarrassed.

He hadn't realized just how awkward this power was. How was he going to manage this when he's at the Academy, meeting new people, making new friends when he might not even be the same person two days in a row?

[[ At first glance: Wheel appears gregarious, artistic and kind, but nervous and awkward.
[[ true personality:

Ferris's personality is changing rapidly, due to his uncontrollable power. He used to be a bright, eager to please kid, who loved acting, his parents, and his life. He'd get along with almost everyone, and loved to make people laugh. He was a bit arrogant, and lived for the adoration of the crowd - which he adored, of course. He's kind, the sort of person to beg his mum to let him make Christmas cookies for the class before winter-break. Girls tend to like him (not adore him or - usually- crush on him), and his ability to get along with the opposite sex is envied by his male friends. He explains it's just a manner of putting yourself in their shoes.

Now, though, he's a bit meek and frightened. He never has been in a situation where he really had no idea what someone would do. His power is the most socially awkward on the planet. His eagerness to please is still there, and he still is a gregarious person. He just isn't sure how people will react to him - these fantastically intelligent and powerful people, a bit like him. Now, he can't act without becoming someone else. He can't goof around without potentially becoming the comedian he's portraying. He definitely can't put himself mentally in a girl's shoes, without terrible consequences.

(Sorry about the short length, Ferris really is changing too rapidly for me to say This Is How He Is.)
