The ability to move or shape a body of water to the user’s desire: lifting, parting, or otherwise manipulating its form and/or density
Limits: User cannot create water and is susceptible to other elements such as electricity and fire. Controlling large bodies of water can be extremely energy depleting and requires great mastery of the ability.
Being called unholy is a bad thing?
Felix became known as the girl who got an exorcism at six months when she was supposed to get baptized. The pastor had tried to put holy water on the baby’s head to no avail, so he decided that it was because she was possessed by a demon. But no one realized that Felix’s innate ability to keep the holy water off of her wasn’t the work of any devil, but of herself and her post-human ability.
Felix’s childhood following that event was as normal as a girl who was post human’s life could be in a town where everyone knew her as the baby who got exorcized at her baptism. She was someone to be stared and pointed out in town. Her parents weren’t any better, treating their daughter like a ticking time bomb. It was only when she was five did she realize what she was capable of. She was able to move the water in her cup, make it float in the air and take shapes if she concentrated hard enough. The more she practiced with it, the more in tune she felt with water. She felt connected to it. Then the first time she was able to go in a body of water at the community pool, she realized how much power and control she had. After that, the rest of her childhood was somewhat of a battle between her and her parents. By the time she got to middle school, they were slowly giving up on her. She was getting better with her powers, still not understanding why she could do what she did or that she wasn’t alone. She still did well in school, not for her parents but for herself, she liked to learn and understand how things worked in the world. She wanted to understand why she was the way she was, too.
Felix heard about a post-human group basing itself in New York when she was 18 and decided to apply to colleges there. Her parents agreed to pay for it, grabbing at any chance to get Felix far, far away from them. She was accepted into Columbia University and decided to major biochemistry out of her love of science in general and to satisfy the curiosity she had about what made her post-human. From what she knew of her family history, no one else could do this or if they could, they kept it a secret like her. While in college, she got to be freer with her sexuality as well. No one knew her there, so no one could tell her family. She could date girls, meet people who weren’t all about religion, and felt like she could breathe. She had gone to New York for the post-human group rumors, but throughout her four years at college, she hadn’t tried to find them. Even in New York, post-humans weren’t accepted, and if she were to be found out by trying to join their group, she’d lose the little piece of happiness she created for herself and she’d be putting herself in danger.
Significant Event in Life:
It was the summer after she graduated from college and she was staying with her parents for a week. Everything had been going fine; until her mom saw her phone wallpaper was of her and her current girlfriend kissing. Before she could even ask her mother what was wrong when she stormed up, her mother slapped her so hard she was knocked to the ground. Her ears had started ringing, only catching her mother saying she would go hell. The only thing she could think to do was protect herself. She knew they had pool outside and could feel the water within it. She yanked the water forward in a giant wave, making it crash through the windows and backyard door. Her mother was knocked to the floor and Felix had been soaked through as well, but only when she heard her mother coughing up the water did she realize the full impact of her actions. She scrambled to her feet and sped out of the house, not looking back until she was out of the neighborhood. She knew she only had one place left to go and that was PROTECT.
