Personality-
Ania is a very stable, hard-working, practical, methodical, and ambitious. Never losing sight of her goals regardless of how many obstacles are in her way. On the outside she is a cool, calm, reserved individual with powerful inner strength who possesses the innate ability to rise to the top through unflinching conviction and sheer perseverance. Ania is a rather stoic person who more than anything else enjoys power, respect, and authority, and who is willing to toe the line for as long as it takes to achieve her goals. Inwardly, however, Ania may not be the self-confident pillar of strength that she appears to be, and when her power or authority is compromised, she may make flawed decisions that could cause everything she has worked for to go down in flames in a spectacular way. Even so, her personality is one that is firmly grounded in reality and who will consistently be the voice of reason in a chaotic world.
Though she may seem unfriendly, arrogant, or without humour to outsiders sometimes, Ania is inwardly quite warm and sympathetic, often with a surprisingly quick wit. Ania’s general outlook is fairly rigid, and once she forms a view of the world, she will often stubbornly hold on to that view despite compelling evidence to the contrary. She may also be subject to a degree of pessimism, often seeing the glass as half empty rather than half full. Socially, Ania is inhibited and uncomfortable in new situations, approaching others at first with caution and suspicion. As far as money is concerned, she approaches finances as she does everything else - with prudence, planning, and discipline.
When it comes to love and others, she approaches this just like she approaches anything else - with caution and reserve. Remember, though, despite her emotions and feelings being well hidden, inside she is extremely warm and caring. Ania is mostly known for being traditional, stoic, and even stodgy. Underneath is a loyal, sensitive, and yes - even witty partner waiting to come to the surface. Ania isn’t the most spontaneous person on earth, but once committed, she will provide you with stability, loyalty, and security. Clingy or needy others won’t suit Ania, because it is likely that she will hold her life plans above or on level with her friendships or partnerships, so a strong, self-confident person is best suited for her.
In any relationship she is a down-to-earth traditionalist. Once you have been admitted to her inner circle, she will prove a reliable, trustworthy friend who will suffer your shortcomings in silence rather than make a fuss. She isn’t one to head to the beach on a whim or go out for a night of reckless partying, but she will gladly grill some steaks and provide the red wine for a civilized evening with a few close friends. She is a good friend to bounce ideas off of, as she is by nature cautious and reasonable, always weighing the pros and cons of any given situation. She will probably not be a comedian every day, but she will likely surprise you with very funny comments that seem to come out of the nowhere at the most appropriate moments. All in all, Ania is the type of person who will be there for you when you need her.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Molecular Acceleration - Ania has the ability to withdraw the potential energy found within an object and subsequently convert it into kinetic energy. Ania then takes this kinetic energy and imbues an object with it, ultimately giving the object explosive qualities. To do this, Ania accelerates the molecules of an object to the point where they begin to move at dangerous speeds. Ania is able to do this through physical contact with an object and often finds that different objects have different effects. The size of the object Ania uses her power on is relative to the size of the accompanying kinetic explosion. Furthermore, the smaller the object, the easier it is for Ania to use her ability. In addition, when using this ability, Ania is able to affect the speed and trajectory of certain objects.
Limits-
Molecular Acceleration - Ania is limited by the fact that she cannot use her power on any living objects. Her power only affects things that are not alive. In addition, Ania is limited by the amount of time it takes her to charge an object with kinetic energy. The smaller the object, the faster Ania can work her ability. The power of Ania's explosions is also limited by the size of what she charges. If it is a small object, it will obviously have a less damaging effect than a larger object. Ania is only able to use this ability by touching an object and cannot do so with her mind. Above all else, Ania is not immune to her own kinetic explosions. She must be careful of how close she is to these objects when she explodes. If she is not observant of what is going on, she too could be hit by the blast of kinetic energy.
Appearance-
Ania stands at about 5'4" and weighs roughly around 117lbs. Though she does have a small frame and weighs very little, Ania is in pretty good shape. She isn't the type of small framed woman who is straight down in physique; she has curves and a good amount of body fat to muscle ratio. Ania takes pride in her appearance and for that spends many hours working out and keeping fit.
Though she likes make-up, Ania can happily leave the house without a face full of make-up on. She believes that beauty is definitely skin deep and that she practically looks the same with or without her 'mask' on. She doesn't wear a whole lot of make-up, the most surrounding her eyes which she likes to accentuate. Ania often wears smouldering, smoky eye make-up, deep browns and blacks to make her eyes 'pop' our.
She has a very tanned complexion, which compliments well with her long dark tresses. Ania's hair is wavy in style, long in length and falls the lower of her back. Ania features her mother in many ways (the foremost being her tiny height). She has a somewhat round shaped face with a defined jaw line and high cheek bones. Her facial features are fairly small and the main focal points of her face are her eyes. Ania has pretty unique coloured eyes, almost an aqua blue in color, which heavily stands out against her olive skin tone.
When it comes to fashion, she chooses practicality over style but still maintains the idea of looking good. Ania prides herself on looking her best and for this; she does have to keep up to date with trends. The brunette isn't a massive fan of dresses or skirts, unless the time calls for it as she likes to be able to move without restriction. She likes to wear comfy jeans and tops, but also likes to be feminine within doing so which she reflects in the colours she wears. Ania adores pastel colours, pale blues and light shades of pink and coral; she's also a fan for floral prints here and there. She loves shoes, heels elevate her making her tiny height less noticeable, but again when it comes to being practical she can't be running around with 6-inch platform heels on.

History-
Ania Nadeen Ovechkin was born in Moscow, Russia on August 26th, 1985 to parents Helina Rudakova and Ivan Ovechkin.
Helina and Ivan married quite early on in their relationship, getting engaged after three months and married after the next six months to follow. On the eve of their wedding, Helina was confirmed to be pregnant and already a month gone...eight months later, Ania was born. Being first born, Ania became the apple of her father’s eye. Ivan spent a lot of time away from home due to being in the military; Ania missed him dearly even at such a tender age and often found herself waiting for her father’s return.
She was an only child for the first seven years of her life and then came along a baby brother; Mikhail. She had always wanted a sibling, a little sister sure but a brother would do. Ania quickly become motherly toward Mikhail, often wanting to help her mother with his feeds and changing him, putting him down to sleep and teaching him new things. It was strange because her family hadn't expected Ania to take to another child in the house, but she dealt fairly well. She doted on her baby brother and when her next two siblings were born she did the same with them.
Ania often took her brothers under her wing, helping them out with whatever they needed and being more like a second mother then a sister. Their father spent a lot of time away and for that; her mother needed a lot of help with the boys. Ania did her best, along with juggling her own life, school work and hobbies that she had taken an interest in. She loved gymnastics and dancing, often attending ballet classes as her mother had passed on her love for it having been a ballet dancer before she fell pregnant.
It wasn't just dance that interested her, her father’s line of work in the military caused the young girl to find a fascination with firearms. Her father tip toed around the subject quite well as his daughter was still young and he did not wish to delve too deeply into the subject. Her father was her hero and when he was around, she acted as his shadow. Sadly, her father had an early retirement from the military when an attack caused the loss of his hand. He was absolutely livid, he had spent his life dedicated to the forces and one tiny mistake had cost him his future.
He went through a heavy period of depression, but eventually slipped out of it. Despite losing his hand and his job, Ania still doted on Ivan and aspired to be just like him. It was around two years after his accident that Ivan was approached with a new mission and became a mercenary. Of course, he had to keep this on the hush but the ever interested Ania quickly got the truth out of him. It was at that time that her desire to be like her father heightened. Ivan saw her as his protégée and opted to teach her all that he knew.
As she grew older and her training intensified, Ania learned of another skill that her father had obtained. Ivan had an ability. She had always been very open minded to such things and Ivan revealed that the ability was passed down from his father who too had an ability. Ania could only hope that she too would be granted with such a gift and would you believe, several months later it happened. Her ability wasn't the same as Ivan's but despite the differences he trained his daughter, taught her to control it until eventually she had it fine tuned.
He knew that it was possible that his boys would also have an ability, which he readied Ania for. She would be able to train her brothers as he had done for her. Her mother was quizzical in regards to all of the heavy training and many hours put in to Ania refining her skills and at some point Ania did also question it...however, she once declared that her training was the single most important part of her life because it did effectively save hers and her siblings’ lives.
Ania was 19 years old when her father was brutally attacked. She resided at the family home, continuing to help her mother with her younger brothers. Her father, once more had been away from home frequently due to his career but on the eve of his return tragedy struck. Their home fell under siege to a gang of armed men who awaited her father’s returned. When Ivan came home, he found his wife bound and gagged. Ania had luckily managed to hide her brothers in the basement having been given a fair warning from her mother who had seen it coming a mile off.
When their father returned he was ambushed and tortured. Ania observed the men as they attacked her parents and after several moments of calculating a plan, she attacked. Ania single handedly took down several of the men before being ushered away by her father. In the midst of his punishment he had lost control of his ability and feared for his family’s life. He bought Ania enough time to run, where she made a break to free her brothers. The house went up in flames, a supernova took over there residence wiping out all left inside. Ania and her brothers lost everything that night, there home, there family, everything they ever had...gone in an instant.
The next few weeks to follow were tough. Due to Ivan's 'exposure' she and her brothers became targets, wanted for the assisting of murder and arson. They were guilty, victims actually and for that Ania couldn't help but feel distaste toward those who had wronged them. She was never one to feel so poorly toward others, but they had taken her life away from her and for that she sought out vengeance. Of course, revenge was not the answer. Ania found herself having to undergo a lot of changes, identity mostly in a bid to be able to live her life like a normal citizen. Eventually, she met a young american man by the name of Francis Montgomery, Mr Montgomery was also special..with the ability to alter the thoughts of those around him. He had the ability of persuasion and with which aided Ania and her brothers.
They travelled the world, meeting other people alike themselves, those with abilities who had been wronged. It was on their travels that Ania began to delve into the world of linguistics, because by doing so she was able to naturally blend in with the people whom she walked along side. She picked up accents, languages and such things to get her by and enable her to pretty much be..whoever she wanted to be. Eventually their travels found them in the USA where they had entered illegally once more thanks to Francis who was able to take care of all of that.
Once residing in the states, she and her brothers settled down. Ania led an almost double life, working a part time job at a cafe but by night taking up an entirely different path all together. Ania belonged to a group of runaways, all aided by Francis and searching for a place to belong. Specials, who hid in fear of being caught and exposed, rid of their lives. Ania dedicated her life to helping these people, staying by their side and fighting whatever battles they may have been faced with. To most people she was just a normal, american girl but to those who knew her...she was much, much more than that.
Anything else?- Ania is Russian born and normally speaks with a Russian accent. However, due to her linguistics she is able to disguise her accent with a variety of others including; British RP, Cockney, Northern English,
Northern and Southern Irish, Scottish, Czech, French, German, Italian, Australian, New Zealand, Various American: Brooklyn, Bronx, Mid-West, rhotic & non-rhotic Southern.
Sample RP-
Between 8:30am and 11.00am Ania found herself rushed off of her feet. Those hours were the busiest of times at the diner, where people on their way to work would stop by for a quick bite to eat or a morning coffee. She hadn't always thought herself to be one that worked in a diner like this, the smell of chip fat and stale coffee lingering in the air but right now a job was a job and she couldn't afford to be choosy. Not that Ania thought those who worked in these types of places were anything less of anyone else but...well...she had always hoped for bigger things.
Fortunately for Ania, she was still fairly young and the world was effectively her oyster. Time was on her side, but she didn't have it to waste. Ania had three mouths to feed...her brothers. They were all still young with only Mikhail old enough to get a job. He worked in mechanics, a trainee as it were and he did his best. She could only be grateful for her younger brothers effort whilst the other two spent there weekdays at school. She wanted the best for them and kept the two in education as she wished for them to have bright futures and do all the things that she could not.
Despite not having a dazzling career ahead of her, Ania did not complain about her life. She was perfectly content with the way her life had turned out and she was thankful for the people she had met. After all, it could have been so much worse. Ania worked here five days a week between the hours of 8:00am and 3:00pm but her hours altered. Today she was going to be leaving early because she had volunteered to help out at the local homeless shelter. Ania was big in charity, giving her time to those in need and above all else her time was given to specials who found it hard to cope.
Ania had been alike them once upon a time, but finally she had grown to be quite settled. Life was starting to look up for the young Russian and her brothers, but she took it with a pinch of salt because things could turn pretty southerly pretty quickly. She spent most of the morning on the front floor, taking plates to tables, back and forth, filling up mugs and taking orders. It wasn't the ideal job, but someone had to do it and she had to pay bills...the right way, unlike Nikkolai's idea of emptying the nearest cash point...oh, the things a Technopath could achieve were endless.
She arrived at the next table, a bright smile on her face and one of the best fake american accents a girl could pull off for herself. She really did love being able to do that, it aided her to fit into all kinds of places and areas. With her coffee pot in hand she arrived at the next table dressed in her pale pink waitress uniform "Would you like a refill?" the brunette asked, her azure gaze narrowing on the man seated at the table before her.
