Standing barely 5'1", Elena moves with a lithe grace that is simply unearthly. She is rather plain looking, and often a little rough around the edges. Her mousy brown hair better resembles a bird's nest and her soft brown eyes are a vibrant counterpoint to her often wary expression. Elena is relatively intelligent and strong willed and possesses a hardy constitution that many an athlete would envy, yet it is her almost preternatural grace and dexterity that obviously sets her apart. Strangely, Elena has not aged at all over the last few years and still appears to be a young girl of 14.Elena's demeanor is quiet and unassuming, yet her eye's speak of her wariness and her constant vigilance, especially within a crowd of people. Somehow she always seems to blend in, unnoticeable until she speaks.[sblock=Background (Private)]Background (childhood)Elena has spent most of her life living on the streets. Her parents sent her out with her siblings on the streets to beg as soon as she could walk and in this fashion she helped to provide for her family. At the age of 7, her mother died of some disease, the family not being rich enough to pay for a doctor or medication. Less than a year later, Elena's father, after yet again drowning his sorrow's in drink, tripped on a loose cobblestone and hit his head against stone wall. A few hour's later he too died leaving the children alone in the world. The children were taken by Romanian social services and separated. Elena doesn't know what became of her siblings, but she was adopted by an american couple. The next few years were relatively pleasant, although not without their own difficulties as Elena adjusted to her new life. Then misfortune struck again. Elena's adoptive mother died in a car accident. Unfortunately her adoptive father took to the bottle due to his inability to cope with his wife's death and became abusive. Elena decided to leave to avoid the abuse and once again took to the streets. Quickly adapting to her return to life on the streets, she soon became friends with an old homeless recluse called Gray (short for Graham), both of them preferring solitude to the crowd of humanity. She called him Ol' Gray and he called her Lass. They made a strange pair, the old white bearded recluse and the dirty, skinny young girl. Surprisingly, the two of them were largely left alone, and the few times the situation got out of hand, it was Gray's expertise with knives that kept them alive. An expertise that he passed on to Elena over the following years, an expertise that she has developed into a deadly art. This expertise gained Elena the nickname Shiv on the streets that she called home.Death finally separated Elena and Gray as Ol' Gray passed away in his sleep a few years later.It was soon after this that Elena really needed the skills that her mentor taught her. Caught in an alley by a group of toughs intent on 'having a bit of fun', Elena resorted to her blades to protect herself. Unfortunately the toughs were not deterred by the sight of a young girl holding a knife, and the situation quickly became bloody resulting in three of the toughs limping away, bleeding from several knife wounds, and the remaining tough lying in a pool of his own blood in the alley.Since that day, Elena has become increasingly wary of men, but her street reputation as Shiv has, since then, been sufficient to avoid a repeat of such an incident.Details of Background (discoverable via public records)- Birth name: Elena Calude- Place of birth: Corte d'Arges, Romania- Date of birth: 1st January, 1993- Nationality: Romanian (native), American (by adoption)- Mother: Anne Calude (ni Vasilov), [August 1971 - September 2000]- Father: Jon Calude, [July 1968 - August 2001]- Date of immigration: 13th November, 2001- Adoptive mother: Jean-Marie Polaski [Febuary 1965 - January 2003]- Adoptive father: Jason Polaski [March 1961 - ... ]Background (adult)...[/sblock][sblock=Background (Public)]Gather informationDC 10: Elena is a street kid ... and she looks it.DC 15: Elena is reputed to be good with knives.DC 20: Elena was known as Shiv on the streets due to her expertise with blades..DC 25: 'Shiv' is wanted by local law enforcement for a couple of minor thefts (shoplifting).

She has 3 siblings.DC 25: Elena's adoptive father has been arrested and has appeared in court several times since 2003 on alcohol related charges[/sblock][sblock=Combat Abilities & Powers (Notes)]Combat ability descriptionsUnarmed: Elena's time on the streets has taught her a few things about fighting dirty and her dextrous form leaves her well able to avoid attacks or to move with a blow so as to minimize their effect.Knives: Under Ol' Gray's tutelage, Elena became a competent knife fighter. With her extraordinary dexterity, her skills soon transcended those of her mentor's. Unbelievably accurate, whether holding a knife or throwing it, she is deadly with a blade. It is, however, with a thrown knife that she becomes truly lethal, her thrown blades flying with incredible speed. Elena's life on the streets has taught her the most effective places to strike on a human body and, when necessary, she no longer hesitates to use that knowledge. Able to instantly draw her blades, Elena can use them to deliver lethal blows or to pin an opponent to a nearby object. She has also recently mastered the trick of throwing two blades at once, albeit with slightly less accuracy than she would like.Power descriptionsRegeneration: Elena is currently unaware of her regenerative abilities. Immunity (Aging): Elena is aware that she doesn't appear to have grown or changed over the last few years, but she is not yet aware of the full extent of her unaging condition.[/sblock]</blockquote>
