Personality-
She can be dedicated, driven, spontaneous, or cautious - whatever the situation calls and allows for. She is terribly big hearted and capable of great fellowship and devotion. Amy can be very shy and unassuming. She is loyal and can keep a secret. In fact, she prefers to keep secrets, because Amy believes it makes a person interesting, the mystery and all.
One of the worst things in the world to her is being engaged into some kind of argument. She sucks at arguing and despises the thought of having to shout her way out of a situation. She will throw up her hands in defeat --even when she's right -- to avoid conflicts. Amy is up for a healthy debate, but she doesn't see the point in screaming abuse at someone to get her point across.
Amy is honest and trustworthy and often finds herself in the awkward position of knowing everything about everyone. For some reason, people trust her with their secrets.
Amy is a great listener. She's great at giving out solid advice - even when she isn't asked for it. Amy's biggest problem is saying "no" to anyone needy. It's not that she is 'spineless' it's just that she likes to help out. Saying no, makes her look as if she isn't interested, even when she's not interested she won't make it clear. She always seems to go along with whatever.
Surprisingly, Amy is pretty confident. She tends to have a way with words, that often enables her to get the best out of people. Amy likes to joke around, she doesn't take herself to seriously. When out with friends Amy's usually the one who will hapily do something stupid, make herself look dumb but do it for the amusement of others. She's an all around nice girl with a positive attitude and a wicked sense of humour.
Likes-
- Painting - Amy has a very artistic nature that she often isn't able to show. Painting is a way of her expressing herself, as she is somewhat reserved in doing so vocally.
- Playing piano - - The blonde finds that playing piano helps her relax. She's particularly good at playing due to the fact her mother is a musician.
- The beach - Everyone likes the beach. Amy loves to go to the beach because it reminds her of when she was a child and how she'd always go to the beach with her grandmother.
- Thunderstorms - She's not entirely sure what it is about storms that she likes so much, but nevertheless if there’s a storm she will watch it from her window.
- Cheetos - Even though she prides herself on staying in shape, Amy finds that her love for Cheetos is one that she cannot fight against.
- Beer - Amy likes a nice cold beer, she's not really into expensive champagne and things alike. She's a typical guys girl.
Dislikes-
- Liars - Amy has always vowed to be honest whenever she can. So the worst thing she could be faced with is a liar. She doesn't seem to understand what drives a person to lie even if it's to spare one’s feelings. She'd rather be taken at face value.
- Clutter - One of her biggest peeves is disorganization. It's a terrible habit for Amy but she believes that there’s a place for everything. Mess and clutter just won't do.
- Spiders - It’s a common dislike. She just doesn't like the look of them and the idea of having one anywhere near her freaks her out.
- Oranges - There isn't a particular reason as to why she dislikes this fruit. But Amy sure hates oranges.
- Violence - She doesn’t see what fighting solves. She is the type to want to talk about a situation rather than rely on throwing her weight around.
- Rap Music - She hates it!
Strengths-
- Friendly
- Level headed
- Calm
- Charming
- Witty
Weaknesses-
- Organization - she has a place for everything and if everything isn't in its place or has been moved from where she first left it, she goes a little crazy.
- Clutzy
- Meticulous- she is extremely concerned with detail. Everything has to be done a specific way and to her liking.
- Spineless - Amy is ‘a sheep’, meaning she can claim to not like something but, once you say you do, she will then like it simply because the other person does and she sees this as her way of fitting in.
- Selflessness - she gets wrapped up in other people that she often messes up because her mind is elsewhere
Skills-
- Piano - She plays the piano exceptionally well and she has her mother to thank for that.
- Speaks Hebrew.
- Cooking
Flaws-
- Retinitis Pigmentosa - Is an hereditary, gradual condition which forces abnormal pigmentation on the retina that can restrict vision. The condition affects both eyes and can bud with a loss of night vision, further to a loss of peripheral vision and then finally result in blindness.
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - Amy is to sum it up, a neat freak. She likes to have things tidy and organized as she feels that by doing so she has more self control over things in her life.
- Trust issues – Amy has low confidence in people due to the fact she’s had some difficult relationships in the past, making it hard for her to have faith in others beyond a work relationship.
Abilities/Powers/Skills-Healing
Amy has the natural ability to accelerate the process of healing within an individual or mend damages within any natural being. By accelerating the process of healing, Amy is capable of returning beings to their best state. With this ability, she is able to mend anything from a bee sting to multiple organ failure. By simply touching the person, the wound can be healed. Recently Amy has discovered that her ability has allowed her to gain the ability to regenerate and is now able to heal her own injuries.Anti-Healing
With enough practice over her primary ability Amy has found that she has the ability to recall any wound that may have been afflicted on the target or even the user. The user of this ability mimics any wounds that they may have suffered and then passes them onto their intended target by the degeneration of tissue until the target’s body has a duplicate of the wound which had either been previously dealt with by the target or even the user of the ability.
Limits-Healing
Healing, like all abilities comes with its limits. One of these limits is that in order to heal the wounds Amy must have skin contact with the person's wounds. Amy can accelerate the healing process of wounds but if she should be interrupted in the process of wound healing, the wound will go back to its original state. Time is also a valuable asset when it comes to this ability. For things like small paper cuts or bee stings it takes a matter of seconds, but for something like a broken bone it takes much longer.Anti-Healing
Anti-Healing only works if the user themselves or their intended target has suffered any injuries or wounds in the past. She cannot generate a broken bone if she or the target has never had a broken bone.
Appearance-
Amy is of petite build. She stands at a maximum of 5'5 and weighs around about 121lbs. Unlike most people these days, Amy isn’t too bothered about dieting and being stick thin. She likes food too much and you most certainly won’t find her counting calories. Even so, that’s not to say that she is a complete couch potato. Amy does still take care of herself. She may not diet but she likes to take up some fitness-based hobbies like yoga or kickboxing.
She has a fairly tanned complexion, and dark brown hair. Amy’s hair is long and comes to the centre of her back. Her hair is naturally wavy which she rarely bothers to straighten. She isn’t the type of girl who will spend hours at a time primping and preening herself. Amy often wears her hair down, but on some occasions she’ll wear it in a simple ponytail secured with a clip or an elastic band of some kind.
She has bright green eyes, that stand out against her tanned complexion and dark-toned hair. Amy has to wear glasses. When she does they are usually a pair of black, thick-framed spectacles. Recently she has started to wear contacts.

History-
Amy Jayne King (originally Hanna Katerin Stranski) was born to Gideon Stranski and Michelle Dawson on October 5th 1987 in Rosh Ha'ayin, Israel.
Unfortunately when she was just seven months old both her parents were killed when a drunk driver ploughed into the side of their chauffered vehicle. She had been left home with the nanny for the night. Since she came along, her parents hadn’t had much time alone with each other and on top of her fathers heavy work schedule, it was hard for them to really further in there relationship. So the couple had taken a well deserved night out. Of course with that being so young when her parents passed away, she never had any memories of them.
Hanna (who was later renamed Amy) was adopted by her aunt Helen and her husband Richard. Helen had gone to Israel for Gideon’s funeral. Then, Michelle’s body was taken back with her to America to be buried in her home state of Colorado. It took several months for the adoption papers to go through. All the while Amy stayed with Helen and Richard who had one more child. A seven year old son named Zachary.
Growing up in the King household was sometimes tough as both Helen and Richard worked hectic schedules. It was lucky that Richard’s mother Valerie seemed to be around to take care of the children. Amy tended to spend a great deal of time with her Grandmother Valerie. Though she didn’t see her parents as frequently as she'd have liked, they still spent time with her when they could so she wasn’t at a complete loss.
When Amy turned seven years old the conflict with Zachary started. Zachary was six years older than Amy and was then in his teen years. Their parents knew things would get tough when Zach became older as he knew that Amy was not really his sister, which the boy felt the need to share when Amy was old enough to ask questions. She didn’t seem to fully understand what it all meant and Richard and Helen did a great job ensuring her that she was still their child. It was then that they realised how neglectful they had been to their children and with that, Helen decided to change her career and work something closer to home. She continued with teaching but instead moved toward tutoring children, a task she could do from home and at the hours that were easiest for her.
Amy was always such a hard-working young girl. Through school up until college, she always strived for success, always wanting to do the best she could and never settling for anything less. She also knew from a young age which career path she wanted to follow. She wanted to be a doctor like her father Richard. With that, she stayed in school. Amy had to move away from her family to attend a college in New York City. Of course she was scared at first; she was taking some big steps moving away like that but she had no doubt in her mind that it was for the best.
Moving to New York had been such a quick decision that finding a residence was difficult. Which was odd since she got a job before she found a permanent place to stay. She had been living in hotels most of the time. Amy had landed herself an internship at the local hospital, where she’d work a few days a week and attend college for the remaining days. Amy’s grandmother Margaret came to her aid when she found out the predicament the young blonde was in.
Margaret was more than happy to approach the young woman about moving in with. She had a two-bedroom apartment and a room available. Some extra cash and a pair of hands around the house would have been greatly appreciated. Amy gratefully accepted the offer and moved in with her Grandmother Margaret. After the April 4th disaster Amy was glad she had chosen to do so because Margaret got injured. That wasn’t the only thing to happen. April 4th saw people all across the nation gaining abilities and Amy was one of them. However, from what she heard everyone else returned normal after. She did not.
For the most part the young woman embraced the abilities that she had gained, the chance to help people in such a way was almost like a blessing. Of course there were setbacks and difficulties along the way but she took it all in her stride. Amy found the hardest part approach when she joined The Elite, obviously only prohibiting within the infirmary at base but the woman made a new life for herself, unfortunately it came with a cost and Amy fell victim to injury during her first mission. Luckily due to her newly evolved ability, she was able to live to see another day and hasn't looked back since.
Anything else?- (any other important information we should know?)
Sample RP-
Amy sat with her back against the seat. She held her books against her lap as she sat and allowed her eyes to wander around the station. It had been a good long while since she'd taken the train. In fact it had been so long that she actually felt somewhat anxious about her current situation. The silence didn’t help at all. Not that she would have turned and made random conversation with anyone. She was far too reserved for that. But if someone began a conversation she'd be happy to oblige.
The blonde glanced ever so slightly toward the young man beside her. He was reading a book. She couldn’t see what it was but he also had ear phones in which to her indicated that he would have rather been left alone. She let out a small sigh as she set her gaze ahead of her again. Dipping down, she slowly pulled her own book from her bag. She may as well have been doing something to pass the time. Trains weren’t always so reliable.
"College?"
A voice spoke up. It was the young man she'd been looking at a few moments ago. Slowly turning her head, she set her hazel gaze on him. Now that she could see his face, she noted that he couldn’t have been much older than her, if he was at all. She was silent as he spoke again.
"The strained expression on your face pretty much gives the answer already, but I could be wrong."
To hear such a thing made her smile. It was really that obvious? It wasn’t that she hated college or found it hard; if anything she was frustrated more with her current situation. Being here right now. It was tough.
With a light smile she glanced down at her book then nodded in response. She slowly set the book down against her knee. Turning her eyes back toward him, she then nodded at his own book. "And you?.." Amy asked him. She wasn't sure what college he was at. It was likely that they attended the same one since they both were waiting around here. She could have been wrong though. After he'd spoken, she felt that maybe this train ride might not turn out to be as boring as she had expected. Maybe she wouldn’t have to face the anxiety if her mind was distracted by conversation.
