Codename: Stitch
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Birthday: April 6th
Species: Mutant
Orientation: Bisexual
Status: Single
Face Claim: Rosamund Pike
Student/Professor/Occupation: Personal assistant for a big time Designer (clothes)
Which side are you on?: Neutral
Abilities: Anna's mutant ability is the power to control any type of fabric or thread. Her abilities as a tailor and designer came from her power to manipulate fabrics. She uses hand gestures to focus her ability, although if it's something very simple she doesn't have to. The projects that take more concentration and focus tend to be the one's thatare very detailed, not necessarily the bigger tasks. The more complicated something is sewn or put together, the more focus Anna needs to work with it.
The way Anna's ability works is that she can feel a connection to the individual fibers of whatever material she is affecting. By concentrating on the fibers she can manipulate them to make them move. On a small scale this would mean she can have the threads of the edges of a small tear in fabric re-weave themselves back together. On a larger scale, Anna can have someone's sleeves knit themselves together. One of the most common uses for her power is at her job. She can tell when cloths aren't sewn correctly or are about to rip or shift. This gives her an edge over employees who might not notice flaws until they're extremely visible. More selfishly, it also means that Anna's clothes are always perfectly tailored to herself. Anna's ability allows her to tell someone what type of fabric something is and how it's put together.
A way to look at Anna's ability is that it is similar to how other people might be able to control water or metal or other inanimate objects. Anna just happens to control fabric.
Ability Limits: Anna's ability doesn't work on metal wire or anything metal for that matter. Her ability also doesn't work well on plastic, but if the plastic is part of another material she can have limited control. Anna is currently working on trying to control hair, but it is extremely difficult and she can't do much more then cause hair to gently sway in a single direction less then an inch.
Character:Original
Eyes: Anna's eyes are mostly grey with a hint of green. They tend to close halfway when she smiles or laughs.
Hair: Anna's hair is blond and a few inches past shoulder length. Her hair is naturally straight but she likes to style it with a bit of a curl. She is very appearence concious and so her hair is always perfectly in place. She like to keep it up and out of the way when she is working.
Body Type: Anna has an lean figure since she keeps in shape so she can wear all the latest fashions. She is anly a bit taller than average height, but appears taller in her heels. Anna has modest curves and her limbs are well proportioned for her height.
Weight: 125
Height: 5'9
Flaws: Anna is constantly lamenting the fact that her face is a bit too wide for her liking and that sometimes she feels her features come out slightly crooked if she smiles too much.
Favorite: Anna's favorite physical feature is her hair. She loves to play with it and do different things with it. Anna is extremely picky when it comes to her hair and will only let people she trusts cut it.
GENERAL APPEARANCE---
Anna always looks extremely well groomed from her eyebrows to the way she always eats as healthy as possible to maintain her figure. She is in shape but doesn't look strong in the slightest. Her skin is very clear and she doesn't ever tan. In fact, she can appear rather pale at times since she avoids burning in the sun like the plague. Since her skin and hair tend to blend together slightly due to color, Anna likes to wear slight amounts of makeup. She doesn't over apply, but she also doesn't leave the house with nothing on. The only time Anna allows her appearance to not be at it's best is when she is alone at home or when she is working. Anna seems to always be happy in appearance and loves to smile. However, when she is working her face takes on a concentrated frown. When she is upset, Anna becomes very sharp looking. Her face becomes rigid in expression and her shoulders tense up.
Wardrobe: Anna is very clothes conscious. Being a designer, Anna is always up on the latest in fashion. Her wardrobe is very varied and she likes to think she has an outfit for every occasion. However, she is very fond of heels and tends to always be wearing them as opposed to flats. She would never be caught dead in flip flops. Anna prefers sleek form fitting clothing and can only be found wearing baggy clothes when she is not feeling well. Anna considers her wardrobe as an extension of herself and so keeps it in perfect order and always makes sure everything matches and looks clean and orderly before she goes out. One of Anna's favorite styles of clothing to wear when working is smart business casual. Anna is a sucker for a perfectly pressed collared shirt. Anna's favorite color to wear is blue, although she owns clothing in many other colors. Always a bit of a showoff, Anna enjoys dressing up to show off her best assets and is not a girl afraid to be the center of attention with her clearly expensive outfits.

GENERAL PERSONALITY---
Anna first comes off as vain and an overall very elitist woman. She tends to ignore what other people are feeling in favor of concentrating on her own ambition which makes it hard for her to form lasting friendships. However, she does care about others, she just doesn't express it well. She finds it hard to understand that not all people have the same type of background she does and so she tends to feel like it's not her fault she can't relate to them. While she is not easy to get along with, Anna is surprisingly loyal to the few people close to her. She would go out of her way to help anyone she feels indebted to, and has shaky enough morals that let her truly go above and beyond when doing someone a favor. Due to her privileged background, Anna can feel like she is entitled to things. This is why she has very little concern for most rules.
Anna is very teasing and flirtatious when meeting people, and although she does not make friends easily, she has no problem getting people to like her if she feels it to be advantageous. She can be very charming, but if someone were to look closer they would see it's mostly an act. When talking to people she knows well, Anna is more sarcastic than coy. Anna can seem an entirely different person when she is working. It is her greatest joy in life and she loses her hard shell when alone with her designs. It is the only time someone can find her relaxed and not putting on airs.
One thing that surprises people, is that Anna happens to be quite good with children. Although she doesn't see them often, Anna has three aunts on her mother's side. All three aunts have young children which Anna spent a lot of time with when she was younger. She finds it easy to be around young children because they aren't emotionally complicated and she can understand them.
Mother: Marilyn Harper, Deceased at 41, Was a model
Father: Jonathon Harper, 58, Owns a big shipping company whose main branch is in New York.
Sibling(s): Charlie Harper, 28, Works with her father and lives in San Francisco where the company's secondary branch is.

GENERAL HISTORY---
Anna grew up in a wealthy household. She was spoiled by her parents and her aunts since her mother was the first of the sister to have children and Anna was the first girl. Anna went to private school with her older brother Charlie who was always very protective of her. Anna was a stereotypical rich girl and had a very easy lifestyle. Her mother was a model and taught Anna to love clothes and dressing up. Charlie would make fun of her for being such a girl, but Anna treasured her close relationship with her mother.
When Anna was eleven, her mother died in a car accident. Anna was inconsolable for months and her father pulled her from school and let her be home schooled. Anna eventually found a way to deal with her mother's death by throwing herself into the hobby that made her feel closest to her mother. Fashion. It was also at this age that she discovered her ability. Anna thought of it as showing that her mother was still watching over her. It was this new found gift that helped Anna move on from her mother's death. However, she found she could no longer relate to most people and found herself feeling that she didn't belong with normal people who didn't see the world the way she now did.
Anna returned to private school when she was 15, just in time for high school. She found her new ambition was to take the gift she had received that had elevated her above others and make her mother proud of her. Her new attitude towards life and her growing ambition separated her from her peers and soon she found herself with more followers then friends. She went through school with hardly a thought towards anything but her future.
Anna graduated high school and went on to double major in business and fashion in college. Over the years Charlie had joined the family company and was sent to run the secondary branch in San Francisco. Anna found that the last person she was really close to was now across the country. Anna felt more isolated then she had in a while, but remained in New York anyway after graduating. Her father had no problem setting her up in a nice apartment. Anna quickly found a job working as a low level assistant for a designer who had known her mother. She used her ability in secret to give her an edge over most employees and now she is the head personal assistant for the designer.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE---
From a community I also RP in.Christine knew that in a moment she would have to leave. In fact, she was surprised that no one had noticed that she had pulled a triple shift yet. Then again, with a captain who constantly attracts danger, it was normal for enough chaos to break out that every medical officer was pulling two or three shifts in a row just to get everything under control. Sighing to herself, Christine felt her hair slip for the third time into her eyes. Putting down the hypospray she had been loading, Christine slipped her left hand out of the rubber glove she had been wearing. Her hand slipped easily out and she pushed her bangs back irritably. The feel of her sweaty fingers were not a comfort to her aching head and she had to pause while she simply breathed. All around her she could hear the quiet sounds of a sickbay that was finally calming down.
Christine could see that many of the beds were taken by the injured and that the ones that weren't hosted many a nurse or doctor who was trying to catch a brief respite from standing on their feet. Normally Christine would remind them that when they were on shift it was not appropriate to nap, but at the moment she just didn't have the heart to do so. Without these nurses and doctors these beds would not be filled with living people. The least she could do was turn a blind eye to them getting the rest they needed. Plus, the rush of people was over and she didn't think there was much left to be done. They could save the cleaning up and paperwork for tomorrow when they had all gotten some sleep.
Christine caught the worried glance of a nurse from across the room, but waved off the concern. She felt perfectly fine at the moment and as soon as she was sure everything was ok she would get some sleep herself. Slipping of her other glove and disposed of them both in the nearest waste container. A few more wisps of her hair slipped again, but she didn't bother fixing it. Her heartbeat was as steady as ever but it felt all the louder in her ears as she made herself take a seat against a wall. Taking in slow and quiet breaths, Christine shut her eyes and rubbed her temples. She knew that she would have a hell of a headache later and was not looking forward to the mountain of reports that would come with this whole incident. If there was anything worse than how she felt right now it could only be how her boss must feel right now. Taking every single death to heart, he could not be in any a better place than she was right now. However, without her boss this ship couldn't possibly run well. So with a groan Christine lifted herself up from the floor and headed towards her boss's office. Someone had to make sure he wasn't drinking again.
