Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sollir Furryfoot" data-source="post: 1965026" data-attributes="member: 748">EnvyBackground:Rebecca grew up in an orphanage bordering the rich side of town.  Frail and sickly as a child, she'd watch the outside world from a window, occasionally playing with the other kids but then having to go in after coughing up blood.  So, she'd watch, with emerald-green eyes she'd watch.  She saw them play with each other, be mean to each other, fall in the puppy love that children have with each other, and she desired to be just like everyone else.  As she grew older she overcame at least some of her weakness, and she eventually did do these childish-now teenager things.  She wanted more though, the object of her desire changed.Occasionally some one rich would drive or walk by, or during one of her rare allowances of freedom she'd go out some where and run into someone rich.  She was an orphan with no real family and no money, why wouldn't she be envious?  She watched with emerald-green eyes and waited for the day her life would change.When she was 15 it did.  She doesn't know exactly what triggered it, but she suffered a long period of depression where in isolated incidents her classmates would scream or shout or look bewildered for a moment and then do a double take.  They'd tell her it looked like they were staring into their reflections, or at a picture of another classmate whenever they saw her, but clearly they must have been delusional.  Well, that's what Rebecca thought until she discovered her powers on her own, viewing herself in the mirror as some rich kid who she was pondering about.Since then she's learned to control her powers more, and she's exploited them.  She fell in with the wrong crowd while trying to fulfill her dreams, a gang who fell into various acts of petty thievery and larceny.  One day they got in over their heads.  They were hired by someone to incapacitate and kidnap some girl, some rich snob.  They weren't the sort of people who'd take such a job, but the pay was really good-offered by someone in a business suit and awfully suspicious, but it was too good an offer to pass down.  They ran into two major problems.  First this "rich snob" was a mutant with weird freaky, unknown powers.  She had managed to knock one of Rebecca's friends down, but another one caught her by surprise with a crowbar to the head and she fell down and starting bleeding...and died.  Confused and panicking, Rebecca's friends had no clue what they could do to prevent themselves landing in a really really bad situation.  Rebecca stepped in, taking charge.  She told her friends to hide the body and she posed as the mutant whom they killed.The next morning, Rebecca, now in the guise of Alice Walker was called by her parents.  When she saw men in suits come in an armored car she thought she was somehow caught.  Instead however, Alice Walker was supposed to have been sent off to a mutant academy the next day run by an organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D.  Rebecca as Alice didn't look at her parents as she resignedly entered the vehicle, rationalizing to herself that she had to do this in order to not act out of character and raise suspicion.  In truth, on a subconscious level she wanted to live the life Alice had, the life one of those rich kids had.  She never saw any of her friends again.Description &  Personality:PendingPowers:Looking at Shapeshift, humanoids only w/ the Mimic ability to help her impersonate another mutant.  I'm also thinking her eyes would be special, giving her Detect (Mutants), enhanced Spot checks, Photographic Memory (fits that some one envious of others remembers everything she's envious about) as well as as well as vision-related feats like Dark vision, True sight and such.Plothooks:-What sort of trouble Rebecca's "friends" got themselves into after the murdering of the real Alice Walker-Whom the man in the suit who hired Rebecca and her friends represented and why they wanted Alice Walker-Rebecca's an orphan, but very well may have siblings.  One wonders if their powers were modeled off of the 7 deadly sins as Rebecca's have or if her powers are merely an isolated case.</blockquote>
