Personality-
Teagan is a quiet and unassuming person, who would rather fade into the background than be front and center. That's not to say that she doesn't like to be social or share her opinions, but would rather let others have their say first. However if the subject at hand moves to one of her passions, she can become completely involved and lose herself in the conversation, reaching a near manic state.
Teagan was not always as timid as she is now, but years of constant teasing and bullying as she grew up caused her to become more withdrawn. She is naturally a very kind and caring person, yet those tough years of growing up with bullies toughened her up and made her a bit more cold and less considerate than she used to be.
All the same, Teagan likes to have a good time and enjoys the company of like minded and intelligent individuals. While not quick to trust, when she does let a person in, she trusts them implicitly and would go out of her way to assist them without a second thought. Romance is not something that concerns Teagan, preferring to let any such possibilities to arise if and when life decides that it is a good time to.
Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Pyrokinesis
Teagan has the ability to manipulate the element of fire, able to create flames from the energy around her and control it as if it was a limb. Teagan is able to shape fire to any object of her desire, such a sword or even a wall of flame. The color of the flame that Teagan uses depends upon its intensity, which Teagan can add to by creating more fire through the combustion of the energy molecules in the air.
Energy Absorption
Teagan has the passive ability of absorbing the energy of chemical reactions as they occur or in the aftermath of their occurrence. The optimal use of this ability is the absorption of the the heat and free molecules caused by the use of Teagan's primary ability, preventing her from becoming burned by its use or burned by any other flame. The increased energy in her body has given Teagan a more optimum immune and metabolic system. Through that applied use, Teagan is able to have a minor accelerated healing factor and is immune to most common ailments, such as the flu and colds. If combined with the use of her primary ability at the same time, Teagan can double the rate of her healing, allowing scrapes and cuts to heal in a matter of minutes rather than hours or days or alleviate symptoms of moderate ailments. In addition, Teagan is less effected by elemental and energy based attacks, able to absorb the brunt of the energy use to facilitate them.
Limits-
Pyrokinesis
Teagan must be conscious in order to use this ability effectively. Unconscious use of this power would result in uncontrollable flames that would continuously be spread until Teagan regains consciousness. The loss of concentraion and control would similarly be catastrophic for anything and anyone near Teagan at that time. Oxygen is needed a fuel source to create and sustain the fire that Teagan creates.
Energy Absorption
Teagan is not able to regenerate limbs or fight off fatal illnesses with this ability, though she would be less susceptible to the latter. Teagan's absorption rate can not be increased at her discretion, thus she could not instantly cancel out a cast of any other elemental power attack or turn a room dark by absorbing the light energy
Appearance-
Teagan is a slightly tall woman, just over 5'10" tall and slender, with a modest bust and hourglass figure. She has long, flowing red hair that are complimented by her forest green eyes. While she does work out, her secondary ability assists in keeping her petite and fit.
Teagan likes to mix and match her cosmetic styles depending upon her mood and the occasion, venturing from the natural look to the over the top. She has a penchant for boots and pumps, preferring faux leather and fur to the real, having a soft spot for animals. However, most days you will find her in simple clothes, t-shirts and athletic shorts the norm, usually splattered with paint droplets from her artistic ventures.

History-
Teagan was the second child of a middling family, the daughter of Summer and Hal Swift, an accountant and marketing manager respectively. While Teagan never lacked for anything during her early childhood, with the modest income that her parents provided, she did not always get what she wanted right away, rather having to wait for it to go on sale or be given as a gift many times. It made for a decent upbringing for Teagan, until the family moved to Italy because of her parents work at age nine.
During her middling and teen years, Teagan grew closer to her brother, as the other kids her age picked on her for her "unusual" hair and eye color. Berated with constant bullying during her adolescent years, Teagan became more withdrawn and cold to strangers. It came to a head when Teagan had her first period and in a fit of hysteria, set her sheets alight.
Looking to keep her powers out of the spotlight, her parents encouraged her to facilitate her emotions and feelings into something productive. They provided her with many different activites to try and pick up a hobby, from frencing and boxing to chess and varying musical instruments. However it would be the easel and sketchbook that she was given on her fourteenth birthday that would stick. Under the tutelage of one of Milan's premier art instructors, Teagan flourished as a prodigy.
As Teagan finished her primary schooling, she was contacted by a local modeling agency after her art instructor had showed off one of her works to an agent. Having a natural frame for the industry, Teagan soon bloomed in the modeling and fashion industry, earning front page covers in just over a year and runway shows in the biggest of fashion hubs of Western Europe.
Yet Teagan felt a pull towards America, to cut ties with the past that had been so cold to her during her upbringing despite its facilitation of her career and lifestyle. Contacting her agent, Teagan began negotiating the terms for a move Stateside, and was set to make the move as soon as the current line was finished, which was set to finish in early November.
Anything else?- While Teagan is known worldwide for her modeling, she prefers her artistry as it keeps her out of the spotlight more.
Sample RP-
New York's icy winds blew cold on everyone, it didn't matter if you were young or old, rich or poor, the winter was coming in all of its wroth. Everyone would feel the sting of the cold months that were too come, even more so with the arctic blasts from the north and the cold Atlantic mists. That was, everyone except Teagan, who decided to wear a black skirt with a crimson cotton blouse with three quarter sleeves and open toed three inch crimson pumps. The cold never bothered her, neither did the heat truth be told...
America was very different from her homeland and she questioned the wisdom of deciding to bring herself to the nation. It presented many more opportunities but it seemed a place full of strife with one calamity popping up right after another. Perhaps the new President's leadership would see the nation towards prosperity or at least a few years of peace and quiet. Teagan somehow doubted that peace or quiet was on the menu however, the Kilvayne name was both spoken in praise and disdain, depending upon what circles you ventured to.
Yet that was all greater than one model and artist's purview, it was out of her realm. She was set to conquer America's fashion and art realms like she had with Italy and France, her name on the lips of every agency from Paris to Milan and now here in New York. If it was a city that never slept, then she would shine brightly, her light illuminating to great heights. This was the land of opportunity, was it not?
"Yes, this will do nicely, though I might have to take my agent's advice and go by River. I am not sure Teagan would sound as pleasant on this accent."
