``History;;
The seemingly innocent girl holds a dark past to her name. It was in North Middlesex hospital in Edmonton, London that Melanie Rochester was born. There was nothing but high expectations in the Rochester household as Mel followed in the footsteps of her brother; attending Brettenham Primary school,located in Upper London, until the age of eleven. As Melanie grew older, it became more apparent to her that the similarities between her and her family were little to none. She didn't feel like one of the 'Rochesters'.
Life for Melanie had been going pretty smoothly up until the the unwanted encounter at her twelfth birthday. He was just going to show her the gift he had bought, that's what he said, but instead she was forcibly assaulted and sexually violated by her uncle. The memories of that day continue to vividly flicker across her mind every so often. As if things could not get any worse, her father was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and nearly two months later he passed away to the disease.
The innocent girl she was in the past was gone and replaced with feelings of anger and confusion that led to a darkened state of mind. On a day's event her frustration came out and sparked the beginning of her powers. The shadows around her came to life, shapes moving in reaction to her movements. She had control over such matter. This brought surprise to the family who thought it was best to enroll her in a school where she would be with others of her 'type'. Those 'different' kids as her parents would call them.
``Powers/Abilities/Gifts;; Shadow Manipulation: Although not yet able to fully control her powers, Melanie is aware that with the equal distribution of light and dark, she is capable of manipulating shadows at her whim. To the extent of her current abilities she is capable of manifesting these shadows to have human like abilities. As if shadow stealing, she can conjure them up to have a sense of their own, almost like servants to her command.
``Role Play Sample;;
There was nothing but silence among the crowd as the room darkened. A single spot light centered itself on thes stage, outlining the figure of the young girl. Suspense rung through the air as the remix version of La Roux's In for the kill began to play. She crouched poised awaiting for the right moment. Taking a soft breath, she began to count out the beats in her mind "one..two...three..four..." She knew that by the fifth beat that was her cue to start the well practiced routine. Blue eyes flashed open as the volume increase. It was time..
Her body moved fluidly. Each step engraved in her mind from the endless practice she put in. This was her moment, her time to redeem herself and show the world who she was. She danced around the space of the stage, kicking her leg up sharply and turning on her toes with a low dip. Fifteen years of classes led up to this achievement in life. Her vision glanced up to see her male counterpart awaiting behind the shield of the curtain.
She nodded her head ever so slightly and took off in a graceful sprint towards the edge of the curtain, pushing off on her toes she lifted her body in the air. The male stepped forward instantly his hands grasping her torso and holding her high above him. He gave a turn, spiraling her body above his before tossing her gently away from him. She landed gracefully, crawling to the edge of the stage as he grabbed her ankle, dragging her back. The two moved in sync, their bodies becomming one as they delivered each move with passion.
Dancing was always a dream of hers and at that moment, to be able to perform the duet choreographed by herself was possibly one of the best things to happen to her.
