Character

Personality: Henrietta is a kind person, but she's tends to get stuck in her ways. She doesn't like to get involved in arguements and sometimes she'll just walk away if she sees or hears one. Her hair is very important to her, as is her appearance in general. She's never allowed anyone to cut her hair unless it's a trim off the bottom. It's not that Henrietta is vain, but she gets nervous of how other people perceive her.
Hobbies/ Interests: Track and Field is one of her favorite past times. She loves hurtles, but hasn't quite gotten the hang of it. Henrietta also enjoys dancing.

Morality

Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Henrietta is more likely to lean to the 'good' morality. She wants to be accepted as a mutant by regular humans, but doesn't want to hurt anyone in the process. Her only desire is for everyone to coexist with one another in a peaceful way, which is easier said than done.

Mutations


Mutation description: Henrietta's mutation is the ability to control her hair's movement. When it moves, it sometimes looks straighter. She can make it grab things or use it to block other parts of her body from attacks. Her hair can hold up to 60-70 lbs and is more difficult to cut than average hair. It would have to have a lot of force behind it and be a solid material that's harder to break. Material such as diamond could cut her hair.It is only the hair on her head.


Weaknesses: Her hair can be cut with something much stronger than the average scissors, such as diamond. She cannot make her hair grow or extend, only move what she has. Henrietta also has to be conscious to control her hair. In other words, she can't move her hair while she is passed out.


Growth description

Mutation Growth Description:
Henrietta's hair can grow up to four feet, within 30 to 45 seconds. Again, it is only the hair on her head and it's strength remains the same as it was originally.


Strengths:
Her hair's reaching capability is four feet longer. It's also more dangerous since her attack range is longer and makes it harder to get ahold of Henri. She can also retract the hair she grew, as long as it is with 24 hours of growing it.


Weaknesses:
Henrietta is only able to retract hair she had grown within the past day. It can only grow up to four feet and no longer. She can't keep adding more feet onto previously grown hair. That means that at most, her hair can be around 6 feet, since she naturally has 2 feet. This restricts the reach and means that if she doesn't retract it within the set time, she will have to find a way to cut off her super-strong hair.

Fighting Style (if applicable)

Explanation: She has no fighting style. Henrietta has never taken classes to learn how to fight.

History Of Your Character:


Henrietta was born and raised in Springfield, Illinois. She's an only child and lives with her mother in an apartment building. Henri's always loved keeping her hair long and beautiful. She'd never had a real haircut until the day her mother decided to take her to the hairsalon. Trims were done to remove split ends and fix bangs, of course, but removing large sections of her hair wasn't ever done. Her hair had gotten to a point where it could be cut and be long enough to give to Locks of Love. Henri's mother made the decision to give her hair to the charity, since she herself had once suffered from a type of cancer and lost hair. Hernrietta didn't want to object and upset her mother, so she went along with it. At the hairsalon, as the stylist was getting ready to cut the first chunk of hair, she began to cry. The scissors clamped down onto her hair, but they broke. The stylist was confused, so she was going to attempt it again, but this time her hair wrapped around the scissors and wouldn't let go.

After the salon incident, it was obvious that Henrietta was different and wouldn't be able to act like a normal kid where she was currently living. The whole community was in an uproar. Her mother did some research and learned of a school where there were other children who were different. Henri's mother refused to use the word 'mutant' because she said it made them sound unhuman. Technically, Henrietta wasn't a human, but she didn't bother her mother with the details. Arrangements were made for her to live at the school. Henri had to pack her bags and move to somewhere where she could be herself, so said her mother, so that's what she did.

Sample RP: Henrietta sat down to take a break from packing her bags. She'd been at it for over an hour because she couldn't decide what to put into her suitcases. She sighed and looked out her bedroom window. Her mother's car was parked infront of the apartment building and the trunk was open. Henri could hear her mother muttering about how long she was taking, but she ignored it and plopped onto her bed. It made a tiny creaking noise that always happened when pressure was applied to the old bed. Just then she realized how much she would miss that little noise. She turned onto her left side so she could look at her clock, and again a tiny sound was let out. It was already 11 a.m. and her mother wanted to get going at 10:30.

"Henrietta! We need to go...NOW!" Her mother's voice could permiate almost anything in its path. Henrietta sat up and sighed again. She'd never been very good at making friends, so of course she was nervous. She had a habit of being very quiet until she got to know a person quite well. Making conversation wasn't always hard though. It depended on the topic of discussion. Either way, Henri knew that this would be a different experience than anyone she's ever had before. She picked up a bag in each hand and began making her way down the steps. When she reached the very last step, her mother gave her the evil eye. Henrietta rolled her eyes and used her hip to push against the screen door so she could get outside. She tossed each bag into the trunk of the car. The car was really old and Henrietta caught herself wondering if they even made the type of car anymore. Her mother walked out and pointed at the car, a sign to get in.

As she shut the car door behind her, Henrietta glanced at the apartment building that she called home. It was old and not as nice as some people's houses, but she loved it. You could tell that it was older just by looking at it. Henri thought that it had character. The driver's door slammed and her mother was in the car. She glared at Henreitta. "We were suppose to be on the road a half hour ago! What were you doing that took you so much longer?" Henri just stared out the window. "Fine," her mother said as she started the car. "We're going now." As they pulled out of her beloved town, Henri sighed sadly.
