Personality-
Maurelle was taught that you could only trust family unconditionally. This has resulted in her having a very unapproachable feel to her by all those she comes across with. Her friends are few in number and her enemies even fewer, as she takes great measure to eliminate all those who would cross her. Despite the measured desire to eliminate her enemies, her calculating measure makes it so that their eventual downfalls and deaths can never be attributed to her. When she sees an asset that has the potential to be useful, she goes out of her way to protect it, even acting irrationally or on impulse instead of her usual calculated maneuvers.
Much to her own chagrin, Maurelle does find it easy to care about people close to her. She will assist those to the best of her ability, even if it is detrimental to her own causes. She tries to keep people at a distance as a result, with her determination for victory conflicting with an innate desire to be loved and accepted. The two make her a complicated character for any to accurately judge, as the conflicting desires show up at varying times.
It is this desire for companionship and respect that enables her to be a good leader. She is quick to protect those who follow her but does not hold their hands through assignments. She believes in giving people the tools to get the job done but leaving it up to them to figure out how to best use them. However she is very meticulous in having pack up plans and feints within her plans, planning for any eventuality any situation or life happens to throw at her or her followers.
Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Precognition
Maurelle, has the ability to see into the future of both living organisms and locations. This is done by her slipping her conscious into the space-time continuum, where she is able to navigate to the desired time in the future she is attempting to see. Once there, Maurelle can interact with the environment in a limited fashion, being able to move around and observe, but nothing beyond that such as lifting objects or conversing with people.
Limits-
In order to facilitate her ability, Maurelle needs to have either met the person whose future she is seeing or have a picture of that person. This same concept applies to locations that she is seeing the future of. Without having the background knowledge of who or what she is attempting to locate the future of, she would be lost in the space-time continuum.
Total concentration is needed in order to activate the use of her power, as any deviation from the concentration would result in the loss of her consciousness. While she is traveling through the continuum, her body is left vulnerable. Depending on how far she is traveling in the continuum dictates how long it takes for her to find the future she is looking for. A few days ahead in the future will take but a few seconds, while years and decades will take several minutes.
Appearance-
Maurelle stands as an average 5'6", 132 lb woman with attractive and defined curves. Her black hair is usually cut in a variety of "pixie" fashions, preferring not to deal with the hassle that shoulder length hair brings. Her dark brown eyes are piercing, as if they are looking into your soul and finding all of your secrets. Her lips are an unnatural deep red, as if she has constantly applied on lipstick.
Maurelle prefers to keep a dark wardrobe, being particuarly fond of black, as well as dark shades of purple and blue. She has a soft spot for feathered and decorative earrings, though preferring silver to gold when it comes to jewelry. Due to her relative short stature, she is almost wearing heels no shorter than three inches, except when she expects to be doing physical exercise.

History-
Maurelle was born the first and only child of Jacques and Chantal Lacroix in Marseille, France on Febuary 3rd, 1985. Jacques was a legal assistant while Chantal was a librarian. Despite being an only child, Chantal made sure that Maurelle was never spoiled too much, so that the woman would know to work for things when she was older. As a child, Maruelle was constantly being given tasks and chores to perform if she wished to earn an allowance or be given treats at the end of the week.
Maurelle was intelligent, getting mostly good marks during her time in school. She however struggled in classes that required interaction with other students, such as science with group projects and labs. Chantal tried her best to break the child of the anti social behavior with having play dates with other children but her efforts went unrewarded as she preferred to work on her own.
After graduating from primary school, Maurelle decided that she wanted to visit a few of the large cities in the European Union during the summer, before going into college. Her trip into Holland had her come across Marie van Kleij at a theatre. With the show that was being put on both very boring, the two women talked and became friends. However, towards the end of their conversation, Maurelle appeared to slip into a trance. However, she found herself traveling through what appeared to be a timeline, seeing events play out like a movie. As she watched, she saw herself traveling to America and looking after a man who appeared to be just a few years younger than she.
Moments after slipping into the trance, she slipped out of it. After describing what she felt and saw, she was surprised to her that the man in her vision was almost a perfect description of Marie's nephew Inaki Soler. Marie decided that day that she would look after Maurelle and even pay for her education, which Maurelle agreed to on the condition that Marie kept her gifts a secret.
When Marie was appointed as the representative to the States for the Soler's oil company, Maurelle traveled with her. By this time, she had began to master her gifts and had put them to good use, investing in the right stocks to create a small amount of capital to use for her own devices. While she was loyal to Marie, she had seen Marie's demise in the own future and knew she had to be prepared to fend for herself for a short while. When they reached the States however, she acted as Marie's right hand when it came to tracking Inaki and making sure the man continued on the right path.
In order to keep herself busy in the meantime, Maurelle established Provencial Financial and Developments as her front company to her mafia dealings. Showing great aptitude for persuasion and recruitment, Maurelle gradually increased both her legal and underground organizations until they were large enough to grant her audiences with the movers and shakers of both words, like Ark CEO Christian Moynahan. All the while, she kept a close relationship with Inaki, who now went by Helena, acting as a consultant for the woman as Marie shifted control of the Vital Energy from her to Helena.
Anything else?- Nothing of note
Sample RP-
Maurelle was dressed warmly, despite knowing where she was going to be spending part of her evening. The winter had decided to grace north Texas once more after a week of fall like temperatures. Maurelle suspected that this time the chill of winter would last longer than just a week and a half but rather the duration of winter. Or at the very least what accounted for winter in Texas, the state having a normally shorter and more mild version of the season than that of the northeast.
A black coat was wrapped over her shoulders, but underneath she wore a royal purple off shoulder dress with black leggings that had silver sequins as snowmen. It was about as festive as she was going to get, the holiday honestly meant very little to her without anyone to share it with. Marie was half a world away, as was her family, and she hardly thought that Helena's wife and mother in law would appreciate her showing up for the holidays.
Instead she had taken up the invitation of Christian to visit him during the evening. She had teased him about getting a gift on the chat room and indeed she had gotten him an actual gift. Yet she had also gotten him a pair of gag gifts, trying to make up for all the jokes that he had decided to make at her expense. Harmless and playful gifts they were and would neatly hide her true gift for the CEO of Ark. It was surprisingly hard to shop for a man in his position, what do you get a man who could afford anything they desired?
All the same, she had found something that she thought was an apt and good gift for the man. Even if he failed to appreciate the gag gifts or even the true gift, it was the thought that mattered. That was the saying anyhow and surely the intent would not have passed him. He was far too overactive in that brain of his not realize those little subtleties.
Steadying herself after the teleportation, she walked calmly and confidently on the sidewalk and the path up to the front door before knocking. Unlike the previous trip to his residence, there was no games or waiting for his message to come around back. Instead he promptly answered the door and tried his best at speaking her native tongue, like he had during their first meeting. "Bonsoir monsieur Moynahan. Merci pour l'invitation."
Unexpectedly, he opened up the door to the right as she entered, when every visit before had been to the left. "Travailler? Travail arrive tous les jours et pas trop facile car ce petit événement à Los Angeles. Mais oui, j'ai personnellement travaillé très peu de ces jours." Rather than beat around the bush, she was honest but left it at that. This was supposed to be a merry time of gathering and cherishing friends and loved ones. "Je suis sûr qu'ils sont très à l'aise."
She took a moment to place the large wrapped box on the counter before taking her seat. She had noticed the pair of glasses on the table already and a gift in a seat already. Well was that not sweet of him, getting her a gift as well, quite unexpected. "The place looks lovely this evening and you are looking good yourself." It amused her that he was wearing pink, far be it from a seasonal color, but it still looked good on him.
"I hope I have not kept you waiting long. You know how it is, could not decide which shoes to wear with this dress." She said with a smirk, sliding her coat off her shoulders and onto the back of the chair. "I hope I am not too late for dinner and seeing just how good of a cook the mighty Christian Moynahan really is."
