Personality-
Willow is everything you would expect her to be. She is someone who is trying to live her life on the edge just to prove herself to everyone who thinks that she is weak. If she is given the opportunity and the experience then Willow will jump at the chance to prove herself to someone. Some say it stems from a flaw in her past that she is unable to move past personal failure which is true in itself but it has more to do with the fact that the girl carries herself with an invincibility complex believing that she is superior to everyone else. This doesn’t exactly help when you combine this complex on top of a bunch of different other hormones which propel teenagers.
From the word go she sets to prove that she is different from everyone else her age. She isn’t afraid to jump into a challenge head first, in fact she actually dives right in to anything that is put in front of her in hopes that she can accomplish the challenge. Her mind works on a semi-irrational plane where relevance of the situation at hand only matter when she is put in front of a life or death situation. If she feels like she can walk away from the challenge without a scratch then she will give it her all and never hold back. Along with this mind-set of jumping into the challenge at hand, her mind seems to have no filter whatsoever. Her brain and her mouth always seem to be running coherently with one another, Willow never really thinking anything through before she lets it come out of her mouth which has landed her in trouble on more than one occasion.
The one thing that she always seems to be is secretive. When it comes to others she can talk for months on end without rest but the instant the spotlight is turned onto her she seems to clam up and unwilling to talk to anyone. She has a tendency to hide her true feelings from the world and painting this façade that everything is okay and that it will probably all turn out for the better in the end for her. She has spent so long living in a world where the real her is this other person that she has stopped trying to identify herself within this world. It is a constant feeling of being out of place that Willow feels and no matter how many times she tries to propel herself out there, the outcome will always be that she remains her closed of self.
Social standards and rules are something which Willow seems to have no regard for. Manners and etiquette are totally lost on her and it isn’t often that you will find her being charming. She would rather get into bar fights and eat chilidogs than talk civilised to people who look down on her. She prides herself in being a mature member of society when the time calls for it but most of the time she is no better than the beer guzzling frat boys. Where once was a girl who had an idea in her head of what she wanted to do and where she wanted to go has now been replaced by a girl who has very little want for trying to be serious.
Willow has a level of trust that seems to go a long way; she is willing to go as far as to put faith in complete strangers in hopes that they will come out for her. She treats people the way she expects to be treated which itself is flawed since she does tend to treat some people in a rather shitty manner. In return for having complete trust in others she also in a rather generous person, always willing to have a go and be a nice person.
In complete contrast to this, Willow has a streak where she can be a total hell raiser. She feels that chaos and anarchy are so much fun when they are paired together and so if Willow finds some way to use whatever strengths she has to create a little tension or drama then you can bet that she is gonna get right on it. She’s done everything from breaking laws to conjuring raptors from a time past just to satisfy her somewhat sadistic taste in humour. She likes to think that she does have some semblance of humanity somewhere inside her but that it is buried underneath years of being a total fun sponge.
To recap, Willow is a girl who shows no interest in following the rules but at the same time knows how far those rules can be pushed before they snap in two.
Likes-
- Pushing the limits; Willow always seems to get a kick in seeing how far some people are willing to go and she just loves trying to coax people to push past what they know and venture into something that is much more dangerous
- Secrets; Willow has a tendency to like secrets, even if they are not her own. She feels they grant more perspective to a person and their own personality.
- Spicy and exotic foods; She likes trying new flavours and new experiences when it comes to food but the thing she seems to favour most is her spicy foods like her curry’s and her chilli’s
- History; Ever since she was a young girl, Willow has always seemed to have a natural connection to history to the extent where she always wants to know more about the past.
- Action movies; Willow has a thing for chase scenes and gun fights…
- Things that go boom; She’s fascinated by explosions just like any other teenager her own age
Dislikes-
- Judgemental people; Willow has a distaste for people who pass judgement on others from first glances
- People who try to hard; She finds it kind of pathetic how some people just try to damn hard for a chance at life whilst others just seem to skate through life
- Manners; Willow often finds manners condescending and quite frankly the fastest way to finish a conversation.
- Television; Sure she still watches the occasional television but most of her life is spent outdoors simply exploring the world and all that it has to offer her.
- Crowds; Willow dislikes crowds with a passion just because she finds it so much easier to get lost when she becomes part of one

Abilities/Powers/Skills-Spatial Manipulation
Willow has an ability which allows her to alter the space in a specific area to her own will. Whilst it might not sound fairly powerful compared to other abilities Willow has had years of practice with her own ability making her technique and use of her ability near the prime level that it can reach. The ways in which she can affect an area are as follows
Warp; One of the main attributes of her ability is that Willow is capable of warping the space around her to put herself at an advantage. The most useful extent to this is to distort the space between two objects making them either closer together or further apart. She can distance herself from a subject by making each step seem the equivalent to a single millimetre or she could in turn get closer to a target by doing the exact opposite. It is this manipulation of the space in front of her which has become one of her greatest tricks and one of the most used attributes of her own ability.
Bend; Willow is also capable of bending space in such a way that she can either divert attacks away from her or make something reach it’s intended target. Willow does this by altering the dimensions of an area and where objects exist within the area. By tapping into the area’s dimensions and orientations she can cause it to spin or even inverse upon itself which in turn throws all sense of directionality out of the window. Willow uses this to assure that she is never under attack from gunfire or long range attacks by simply willing the space in the area to affect the directionality of the object and thus make it miss her completely.
Flip; Another one of the attributes which her ability allows her to do is flip space within an area entirely so that she is able to turn an area on its head. This is usually used as either an escape manoeuvre or a way to gain the upper hand when she starts to walk across the walls of the arena by making it the floor simply by flipping the area itself. This can itself disarm some due to the fact that they will become confused as to what is going on. When using this aspect of her ability Willow is in complete control of the direction in which the universe flips. Of course all sense of gravity is still applicable to the situation itself meaning Willow could not do anything which could be defined as completely out of the ordinary.
Crush; Crushing space is what Willow would call the most taxing of all her attributes mainly because it focuses on merging two points of space together to be one point and therefore crushing all the space that exists between the two points. Willow could do this in order to make anything in between the space itself seemingly disappear into nothingness even though it still does exist. Crushing space itself does not crush the item that exists within the space, only conceals it.
Vortexes; Over time Willow found out that she is able to fold space in such a sense that she could make an item take up two different places and therefore is granted a rather limited form of teleportation within the space she is manipulating. Of course she could use this further and open up a wormhole which will begin to suck up everything that exists within the space she is manipulating unless she stops it willingly.Spatial Awareness
A fairly recent discovery by Willow is the ability to have complete knowledge about the space in which she is manipulating which includes objects which exist in the space and how far away they are from her. This information simply comes as innate knowledge the instant she acts on her primary ability and throughout she will get feedback from her secondary to let her know where everything is and the proper dimensions of the space she is manipulating. Part of what makes this ability so special is the fact that it allows Willow a glimpse into what will happen if she changes a certain aspect of the area beforehand so that she can have hindsight of the situation
Limits-Spatial Manipulation
Whilst Willow has an extremely useful power, it is the vast of uses that it can be used for which can become the biggest limit to her own ability. Due to the fact that her ability manipulates the entire space around her she needs a lot of energy in order to perform one simple manoeuvre. Of course where this leads is the fact that the more difficult the aspect, the more energy she needs to put into performing the action. For example, rotating the axis of the area she is in will require a lot more effort than warping the space to make the distance between two points seem shorter. Area is another thing altogether; for Willow the radius for the area in which she can manipulate is about 50 meters meaning anything that goes out with her radius of control will remain unaffected by her own abilities.
When her abilities activate, it’s sort of like a dome of energy; nothing can get in and nothing can get out. Of course when you watch from the outside, space seems normal but the people within the space seem to be doing abnormal feats, however within the dome it is the exact opposite. Despite the fact that Willow is able to do all these things gravity still applies to her and so therefore she can’t really do anything out there.
Warp; Willow technically calls this the easiest attribute of her ability because it is less demanding than some of the other stuff she is capable of doing but that is not to say that it is not difficult. For one, she can stretch the distance between two points to a mile at the most, which whilst handy places some heavy constraints on her. Adversely she can get very close to a point despite standing a few feet away, capable of squashing distance to a quarter of a millimetre regardless of where she is standing within the radius of her ability. Despite her being able to get so close, sometimes her own abilities have a tendency to backfire meaning she could miss completely
Bend; Sure it sounds easy enough and some might think it is fairly easy for her to bend the fabric of space within such a minute area but that’s where most people are wrong because it is more difficult than it seems. Directionality is everything within this aspect of her ability because if she doesn’t nail the direction she wants to send the attack in then the chances are that she could miss or that she could be attacked. Even so, bending space can only go so far even for a veteran like Willow who has honed her abilities for years. The best she can do is move something a few inches from its intended target which might even still hit its target since the distance the object being hit might cover more than a few inches. Sure in combination with warping she can make these few inches become a mile apart from their original target, but again it would be fairly taxing for her to use two aspects of her ability at the same time.
Flip; This trick itself can be risky to even her if she is not careful with it because whilst she can in effect change the entire environment and plane she is on, she still must adhere to the basic laws of physics. What this means is that once she tilts a landscape, everything (including her) is thrown to the angle in which the environment is being flipped around. Also whilst inside her bubble, she is in complete control of what becomes the ground, however the instant she loses that concentration and her ability starts to turn on itself she has to ensure that the plane of the landscape is back to normal to ensure she doesn’t tumble out of control and hurt herself.
Crush; By crushing the space, Willow is simply making objects between two points disappear. Of course others viewing from outside of the dome of her ability can still see the objects. The objects still exist and will show themselves after Willow has been drawn of all energy which is more often than not the end result of using such a difficult aspect of her own ability. She can keep up a crushed area of space for at least a few minutes before she feels herself growing faint and feels the need to let go of the hold she has over the space.
Vortexes; This is mainly limited by the dome which her ability works in; all teleportation must take place within the dome and the end position must be another point within the dome. It is a fairly limited form of teleportation, only allowing her to teleport within this 50 meter radius. The vortexes are fairly small and can only remain open for a few seconds before they begin to close in on themselves. While she is working on strengthening this the fact remains that she can only teleport herself through these vortexes. The gravitational vortexes she creates can become strong but must start out weak and take a long time to build up the necessary mass to absorb something bigger into itSpatial Awareness
Spatial Awareness is a hand in hand ability with Spatial Manipulation; of course what this means is that she cannot use spatial awareness unless she has activated her primary ability. Because of this, her ability is exclusive to whatever happens within her dome of control and thus anything which happens out with the dome is not read by her own abilities. The main drawback to this ability is simply the fact that it is passive and that Willow cannot chose what she knows or what goes into her head; all the information that comes in is random and whilst this can be helpful it is not as helpful as information she could pull if she were in control of her abilities
Appearance-
What you see when you initially look at Willow is the distinctive look of someone who really doesn’t care what people think about her or how they feel about her. She is her own person and she learnt that a long time ago; technically she feels that the only person she really needs to please is herself which might explain why she rarely puts much thought into what she wears or how she looks like. When it comes to her appearance she’d rather everything looked natural rather than her looking like someone that she wasn’t
Willow’s hair is probably one of these features that she doesn’t even try to think twice with because she feels that it is perfect just the way it is. She’s not a big fan of spending hours on end just trying to fix her hair and will most likely spend as little time on it as possible. The hair itself usually falls past her shoulders, fairly straight. Most people would assume Willow to be a bottle blonde, but the truth is that her natural roots are blonde despite what everyone else thinks about her. She never feels the need to really try and accent her hair in any stylings feeling that it is perfect as it is
Some people say that people’s eyes are the windows to their souls; well Willow simply provides the exception to the rule with grey-blue eyes which don’t seem to give a lot away about the girl. Most of the time she’ll tend to feign eye contact just to make sure that no one catches onto her own little lies.
Part of what makes Willow the way she is, is her abundant use of eye makeup. The fact is that she is trying to highlight her own bland eyes a bit more by giving the appearance of rather smoky eyes. What this leads on to though is a major case of racoon eyes which have sort of become like a signature look for Willow ever since she could first pick up an eyeliner pencil.
Willow might be the type of girl to run around and get herself into trouble but she is far from having an athletic figure. Her body is fairly slim with Willow making an effort to try and get more muscle definition with mixed results thus far. Her height never stretches past 5’7’’ on a good day which is pretty good for a teenager of her own age. Her weight is fairly average to go with this, faltering up and down 130lbs. Her complexion is fairly pale, as if echoing a child who has never seen the light of day even though it is the opposite of this which is true.
There isn’t really one word which describes Willow’s own style of clothing. Many have tried to classify it as typical rock chick but she always seems to deter from this when most people think they have her pinned down. She is a big fan of all types of clothing, usually wearing what feels natural for her on that day whether it be something simple like a tank top or something more sophisticated like a shirt. More often than not when she is trying to make a first impression she will wear a plain tank-top or a tee and boot that up with a leather jacket. Never wanting to apply herself to social situations, she will more often than not either wear short skirts or shorts and then cover up the rest of her legs with stockings of some sort, though that is not to say she will never wear jeans because they do feature heavily in her own wardrobe. When it comes to footwear, every kind of shoe you could think of is what she would wear; she has boots, converse, shoes, heels and everything in between. The most featured attribute to her clothing is her shades on her face and the things which usually jangle on her arm.

History-
The story of Willow is not an easy one for her to discuss with anyone, which may be the reason she lies about her own past whenever it comes up out of the blue. Willow has made a good attempt at trying to get a good semblance of direction in her life but her lack of it comes from a past riddled with loneliness and exclusion.
Willow was never expected, she just happened to come about. Her mother had stupidly let herself go to someone who as it turned out did not truly love her for the way that she loved him. This is not to say that the father did not try to stick around her mother whilst she was pregnant because he did feel responsible for getting the girl pregnant in the first place. Neither of them really had plans for the child, nor did any of them really have plans for the future. Willow was simply the anchor point in their relationship and it was clear once she was gone that everything would go back to normal.
Once Willow was born though it seemed that the very anchor point which had held these two people together was out in the open. Truth being said, the father didn’t want the child and neither did the mother. It was one stupid mistake that they had both been a part of since day one. The best thing for them both to do really was to go their separate ways and get on with the rest of their lives without each other. This, of course, led to Willow being branched into the Foster Care System but not before having inherited her mother’s own genetic markers and thus leaving her with an ability, the one which would help her throughout this earth for the rest of her life.
Now under any normal circumstances this might have been a good thing, but the truth was that the timeline Willow was born into was one where having an ability immediately put you under house arrest, regardless of how old you were or what it was that you could do out of the ordinary. For the time being though, everyone, including Willow, was oblivious to the fact that the child had abilities.
Willow spent her first few years in the Foster Care System, being bounced back and forth between families who didn’t want her. With each rejection, her loneliness grew and evolved. The reason that no one wanted Willow was for the fact that they feared the worse. As a child, Willow grew into her abilities which while at first might have been unnoticeable grew into something far greater. It started off as small instances, things appearing on the other side of the room within a matter of seconds without being touched, and began to grow into much larger instances like the child being able to crawl on the walls. Honestly, it seemed like she was stuck being unwanted for the rest of her life thanks to something she never even asked for in the first place.
A short while before her 3rd birthday, Willow was taken in once again by the Mitchell family. The family had a track record for connecting to the children who seemed unwanted, mainly because they were aware of special children and sought out to protect them from the government. Their own abilities made it easy for them to pass under the radar without ever being caught by the government or any of their agents. They had already adopted four other children who each had an ability and who were each turned down for adoption time and time again.
When the time came to enrol Willow into school, it was fairly clear that she was rather hesitant to the idea. She had already suffered setback after setback in her life to the point where trusting people became near impossible for the young girl. She became introverted, not really making any friends in fear that she would lose control and be labelled a freak. The only people she truly trusted were her family.
And why should she have trusted anyone else, they were only going to let her down in the end.
As she grew, her trust issues never truly fixed themselves. Sure Willow did allow herself to trust others to the point where she made a handful of friends, but she could never truly learn to trust them completely in fear that one day they would stab her in the back and make her look like a fool. The main thing that happened as Willow aged was that she grew more outwardly, always wanting to explore and never being able to truly sit still for more than 5 minutes before jumping onto a totally different tangent. One of the results of her outdoors nature was the fact that she managed to land a pretty nasty scar on her back when she fell off a fence during her earlier teen years.
In an effort to try and control her own behaviour, her parents bought her a pair of roller-skates; they assumed that once she got bored of falling on them then she would become less active. Those were the best investments ever made towards Willow who seemed to take to skates like a duck to water, always growing and perfecting her technique on them. Combined with her abilities she became a severely advanced skater, always moving and never really staying still for anything that came her way.
However, all the exploring came to nothing to be honest. Willow knew that she was simply doing this in order to try and fill the empty void which had been made through loneliness and not being wanted by really anyone except for her true family. She needed to explore more to fill the void and so that is exactly what she done.
From as young as fifteen, with the help of one of her foster siblings, Willow began to embark on bigger adventures by travelling through the fabric of time. She had some great times and met some great people along the way. Her trust began to grow with the more people she met, of course that became problematic itself when she became too trusting towards others but she didn’t see any problems with it for the time being.
Despite everything though she knew that the void still existed and would probably always be there until she went back and faced her biggest problem head on. And so now with an idea in her head Willow is settling down in Modern Day New York, of course her own mother hasn’t even been born yet but she could always wait around for a couple of years.
However, it seems now that her own ability is starting to reject amplification, as if it were evolving far beyond her own power.
Anything else?- (any other important information we should know?)
Sample RP-
((Since she is involved in an ongoing thread I just thought I’d use this as my RP sample))
[dropcap]Havoc and destruction usually went hand in hand with each other when it came to the mind of Autumn; the girl had always had twisted and warped ideals of fun and what might have been a good idea and today her mind had been no different than usual. She had spent the past while floating through time, just looking for a place to really belong too and so far the closest she could really get to being comfortable was 2011, going along with the same pace as the events which had shaped the world. She had not been born during the events which had taken place and so coming back here did stir up some feelings in her, feelings of regret that had been done to those who could not truly defend themselves.
Of course it didn’t really help that Autumn was switching through the time stream like a bad habit. For her, every day held a new adventure and another chance to gain more experiences and to say she had used most of her time to troll others would be an understatement; she had messed with so many people within this timeline and yet she wasn’t satisfied, she wanted more and she knew how to get it.
The first step of her plan was easy as she stumbled across the baron wasteland of a prehistoric time. It had been a while since she had been this far back in time, the last being a year ago when she had decided to take a stroll around and almost got herself killed in the process. She was more cautious this time though, time standing at a complete halt while she looked around for what she was looking for. She had done her research before coming here and knew exactly what she was looking for; an Utahraptor. It was a ridiculous name to give a creature and it should have been ashamed to be even linked with Utah in the first place but it’s overall height made it one of the best candidates for what she was looking to do.
She walked across the wasteland for quite a while, never really spotting one of the creatures. With every step, she grew more impatient in trying to find the creature she was looking for and it wasn’t until she was about to give up her search that she seen it, a magnificent beast wandering alone. Her eyebrow cocked at the luck she had found what she was looking for.
Closing her eyes, she found herself quickly standing at the foot of the nearly ten foot tall beast. It was hardly what she expected but it would have to suffice for the time being. She reached out a calm and steady hand, the scaly skin sending shivers up her spine before closing her eyes again and teleporting both of them to modern day New York, once again time frozen in place. ”You be good now, ya here me?” she spoke to the frozen creature. Even if time was moving, there was probably no chance that he would be able to understand her. One final blink made sure that she was out of sight and that time was rolling once more.
The dazed beast simply looked around bewildered at what was going on.[/dropcap]
