LISETTE "LACEY" TESSA HAYES
AGE: 16 BIRTHDAY: April 24, 1998 HEIGHT: 5' 6" BIRTHPLACE: London, England . p e r s o n a l i t y . w e a k n e s s e s . s t r e n g t h s . There's no easy way to define Lacey's personality. With her friends, she's outgoing, carefree, wild, loud, and sometimes rude. She never intends to hurt her friends, always meaning her insults as jokes. Whenever people take these jokes the wrong way, though, there's a bit of what you might call a sticky situation. Her attitude, short temper, sass, and sarcasm have gotten her into trouble more often then not. She might seem like a mean person, but she definitely has a conscience--there's always a part of her--a big part--that feels guilty. Her pride is much more overpowering than her guilt, though, which prevents her from giving an apology. She thinks more about herself than others, but if there's someone she really cares about, she will do just about anything for them. She also likes to impress people, females and males alike, and make them jealous.
Around strangers, though, she seems like a completely different person. She's shy, quiet, polite, and sweet, which makes those who don't know her think she's a either a sweet, innocent girl--definitely not true--or so stuck up she acts uninterested in people she doesn't know because they're not in her 'clique'--even more untrue.
Sometimes, Lacey can seem arrogant. For the most part, she knows what she's good at--predominantly dance, horseback riding, ice skating, singing, art, and academics. On the inside, though, she's very insecure. She worries about what she thinks others think of her, and is her own biggest critic. She likes to think that she's logical and analytically, but she's actually more right-brained, thinking with her emotions coming up with creative solutions.
When she's nervous, she twirls her hair, drums her fingers on surfaces (she plays piano), or taps the floor with her feet if she's sitting down. Although she's never been diagnosed with either, she's certain she has some strange combination of ADHD and OCD. Despite being a lazy person, she hates to sit still unless she's reading or drawing. She always has to multitask, even if it's something simple like listening to music while doing something else. Lacey absolutely hates silence and often turns on the TV when she's alone just to hear someone talk. Her "OCD" only manifests in certain situations, namely, straight lines and perfect circles.
Her hobbies include writing stories, photography, stargazing, reading, dancing, horseback riding, ice skating, playing piano (although at times she hates it), singing, and drawing or painting. Because of her birthplace--London, England--she has a bit of a British accent. When she talks, she uses a lot of hand gestures, which bullies often mimic. To them, she says, "It's sad that you don't have anything better to do than to be a jerk to me." She usually has a sharp remark ready for any situation.
Her old friends all think she's pretty much a complete tomboy, but her like-minded friends know that she thinks about guys a lot. From this stems a secretive nature--she likes to keep things to herself, especially crushes. At times, she feels like her conflicting personalities make her head hurt. She lies a lot, but also likes to tell the truth and hear the truth.
~
Lacey feels like there is no one more flawed than her. When it comes to her personality, she's very insecure, as well as indecisive. She's also very moody, and can sometimes get really obsessed with one thing--usually a guy. Whenever something goes wrong, she blames herself and is wracked with guilt. She's very temperamental, and often gets very lazy with things if it's not working out. Her creativity makes her mind cluttered, and she more often than not forgets things a second later. She essentially has no filter--she says whatever comes to mind, and is also very prone to lying, although it somehow works together with her candor. She's also not very open-minded, and wants to always be right. Her thoughts and daydreams are often unrealistic due to her overactive imagination. Around people she doesn't know, she's a bit of a pushover. Others annoy her easily, even if they're her friends. She also has a fear of swimming in deep water.
~
For all her flaws, she has a number of talents as well. When someone asks her what she's good at, she first lists her hobbies, because she wouldn't like them if she wasn't good at them. She's also smart and creative, and excels at academics and art. Her imagination is extremely overactive, which is always helpful for writing stories. Lacey is very independent and hates collaborative projects, which are only made slightly better when she's working with a good friend. She's highly determined and has a strong will, and likes to have things her way--and because of her persuasive ability, usually gets it. . a p p e a r a n c e .
Lacey might be considered pretty, but most of the time, she doesn't agree (see Personality). She has long, straight black hair that melts into a light, brown-gold tone at the tips. Most often, you'll see it worn down and straight like it naturally is, but because she finds straight hair boring--doesn't everyone want what they don't have?--she sometimes braids it and leaves it in overnight. The next morning, it's stylishly somewhere between wavy and curly. Her dark, medium-length eyelashes curl to frame her blue-gray eyes, sometimes intensified by a swipe of gold or silver eyeshadow. She usually wears minimal jewelry--a necklace with a wolf, feather, and rose pendant (the first two are linked to her power, and the third is merely for decoration), one or two rings, and maybe a bracelet.
Her outfits are always casual and comfortable. Her go-to outfit is jeans or jean shorts with a t-shirt or tank top. Most of her closet is made up of dark colors, the only light colors being blue and white. Shoes are selected from a choice of Converse, Converse high-tops, combat boots, or sandals. Of course, for athletics and formal events, she has special outfits. Her favorite dress is an ivory high-low dress with gold straps.
A height of approximately 5 feet 6 inches and an athletic, lean figure, make her look skinnier than she really is, although she is definitely not stick thin or willowy. She's not that short, but compared to most guys, she looks cute and petite. . p o w e r s .
Lacey's main power is the ability to shape-shift. She has control over some aspects of this power, but sometimes, in states of extreme emotion (for example, when she is crying her eyes out or breaking everything in sight) her power will "possess" her and perform an unwanted transformation. Sometimes this automatic shift in form is related to the emotion--once, when she was angry at her little brother for trashing her room, she turned into a tiger. The only animals she can reliably shapeshift into are a horse, cat, wolf, and a Peregrine Falcon--animals she has either spent substantial time with or animals represented by silver charms she acquired from another shapeshifter she met on her adventure to find Foresta (see Appearance section). The one way she can shift into an animal other from these four is by channeling a state of high emotion, but even then, she cannot choose which animal will result. She hopes that one day, her power will develop enough for her to be able to change form without actually having been around the animal or having a charm of it.
From this power stems her other ability: the ability to communicate with animals. When she is in human form, she can communicate with all animals, but when in an animal form, she can only speak to and understand animals of the same or related families. (If Lacey is a tiger, she can communicate with all members of the cat family. If she is a horse, she can communicate with horses, cows, deer, and other large hooved animals.) . h i s t o r y . Lisette Tessa Hayes was born on April 24th, 1998, in London, England to Teresa Cox and William Hayes, who were part of the upper class of London, although they lived in the countryside near the city. They were decently wealthy, and hired a caretaker for Lisette named Anne Wilson, who gave her the nickname Lacey. Her childhood was a happy one--her parents were dedicated and loving, and occasionally spoiled her; she even had a pet cat named Thyme. Five years later, in 2003, her little brother was born--Connor Hayes. Unlike the stereotypical siblings you usually hear about, Lacey and Connor got along beautifully from the moment he was born. They grew up on their family's estate, which had swimming pools, sports facilities, a stable, an extensive library, and a music room. This home was where Lacey developed interests and hobbies she still has today. Her parent's wealth also developed her persuasive power--as long as she made a convincing case for something, her parents would usually give her what she wanted.
In 2012, though, on her 14th birthday, her powers manifested. They were at the beach to celebrate, and Lacey was swimming in the ocean. A strong current caught her and dragged her out to sea. Her fear overwhelmed her, and basically shut down her brain. She blanked out, and a few moments later, it felt like her brain had received a shock. The next thing she knew, she had become a dolphin. Somewhere in the fog of panic, a sense of clarity was beginning to wash away the mist like a ray of sunlight. An instinct somewhere deep in her led her back to the shore, and she changed back into her human form. From that day on, she began to practice transformations, getting better and better at them every day. At first, it was laborious and exhausting, but now it's like breathing--through this experience, she's learned that the saying "No pain, no gain" is true. Her parents began to look into somewhere where she would fit in and her powers would receive attention and nurturing.
Her relationship with Connor began to spiral downward. He had only heard of stories of Gifted people at school, where everyone thought they were evil and insane. Despite her parents' efforts to convince him that they were not true--they trusted that Lacey was stable and still the same person she had been before her powers manifested--Connor distanced himself from her and began to give her the 'silent treatment'. He probably had the biggest effect on her life--she had never realized how much the opinions of others mattered to her before she lost his admiration.
At school, her first boyfriend--a guy named Luke broke up with her the moment he found out she had powers and broke her heart. He's the reason she hates liking a guy. Any guy who can get her to trust him has to be really special.
A little less than two years later, her parents heard about Foresta Academy. Bringing what possessions she could with her, Lacey wandered out into the world alone with a tearful goodbye with her parents and a depressingly unemotional goodbye with her brother from the latter's perspective, looking for the academy where she would finally fit in.

ZOE CHEYENNE YOUNG
AGE: 16, almost 17 BIRTHDAY: September 8, 1997 HEIGHT: 5' 5" BIRTHPLACE: Unspecified . p e r s o n a l i t y . w e a k n e s s e s . s t r e n g t h s . Zoe is, in one word, quiet. She’s not shy or socially impaired, she’s just quiet. She doesn’t make a habit of openly sharing her opinions unless asked outright, since she isn’t used to having her wishes listened to or respected. It’s pretty easy to influence her or get her to do something; she’s not exactly stubborn or headstrong. It’s easy to convince her to trust you, and she’s is somewhat naive in that respect and in trying to see the best in every person. She is definitely a hopeless romantic, and still has a broken heart. Her intentions (if they are her own) are almost always good, and despite what she’s been through, she has a good heart and tries to maintain a positive outlook on life. ‘Innocent’ somehow both describes her perfectly and is the complete opposite of what she is. She speaks softly and is not an argumentative person. The trait of energy doesn’t fit her well; she acts like someone who has given up on life, although it does help when she has a goal or something to do. Anger is also not something you will find her indulging in very often, if at all. She gets sad much more easily and much more often. It takes a lot to anger her, and even then, she remains quiet. You might get hurt or get the silent treatment, but it’s rare for her to yell at anyone. That only happens when she’s extremely ticked off. Whatever her mood is, you’ll be able to tell. She’s not one to hide emotions or secrets. Zoe is prone to daydreaming, usually of something romantic or wishing that she had a different life and different powers. She is an extremely empathetic person and always tries to help out whenever possible, which results from her wanting to take her thoughts off her own horrible past and wanting to save someone else from such horror. She has a supportive and sweet nature, which makes her a good friend. As the scar on her arm shows, her mental and emotional stability is more than a little questionable. If she’s upset, keep sharp objects away from her. If you ask her what she wants most in life, she would answer, “Someone I can trust with my life.” Academically, she’s of average intelligence, but she’s very resourceful and has street smarts. She obsesses over her eating habits and rarely drinks soda or eats junk food.
~
Her mental stability is practically non-existent. If she gets upset, which happens quite easily, she could very likely start trying to hurt herself. Her will is also not very strong, and it’s easy to get her to do what you want her to. She gets sick pretty easily, despite her good eating habits. Despite her good heart and unwillingness to hurt others, she doesn’t really have the strength to stand up for her ideals. They won’t be changed, but she can be forced to act against them. Zoe can be too trusting for her own good. She loves quickly and deeply, so her first heartbreak will definitely not be her last. She has a strange fear of sleeping. To be more specific, a fear of dreams. She’s often haunted in her nightmares, and it’s much worse when she sleeps alone. Even if there’s someone just standing in the same room as her, it helps her relax, and sometimes she gets a dreamless sleep. She also has mild hydrophobia, although she can swim.
~
Despite her unwillingness to use her powers to fight, she did have to, and the constant use of them has increased her ability to use them. She also knows how to use a gun and is very street smart. Her optimistic outlook has gotten her through the darkest times. Due to her thin frame, she’s very agile and is quick on her feet. Also, because of the survival training she was put through, Zoe is very resourceful. When she needs to be, she can be very charming and an extremely smooth talker.
. a p p e a r a n c e .
Zoe is actually taller than average, at a little over five feet, five inches, and is built very slenderly. She has long, very light blonde hair that is a dark brown at the roots and is parted on the left side. It’s thin and silky to the touch, and she often hides her face behind a curtain of her hair. Her skin is also quite pale, though not so extreme that it nears alabaster or ghostly. She has dark eyebrows and eyelashes, as well as dark brown eyes. Her normal makeup consists of eyeliner, a dark smoky eye or neutral eyeshadow color. Since her lips are quite light in color, she occasionally wears lightly tinted lip gloss. Her left forearm is marred by a huge scar running from the wrist to her elbow. She doesn’t bother to bandage it up, but usually keeps that arm at her side.
She tends to stay away from any bright or neon colors in clothing or makeup. The most common colors in her wardrobe are taupe, white, and other neutrals. She usually dresses nicely, even if it’s a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a tank top. You won’t find her in sweatpants or oversized clothes. If she’s exercising or doing something active, she’ll wear a tank top, leggings, and nice sneakers. The one thing she almost always wears is a pair of stud earrings. . p o w e r s .
Zoe has two conflicting abilities: the ability to heal people, and the ability to injure people. She doesn’t know whether or not she was born with the power. It is also possible that she might have not been born with the power and instead might have developed a different ability had events not occurred as they had. She loves the first power, and absolutely detests the second.
These abilities seem to be amazing at first, until you realize the consequences of using them. With these powers comes the added side effect of empathy, resulting in what is basically a self-inflicted form of torture. To heal people, she has to feel their pain at full power, as they are feeling it at the moment, without the actual injury. For example, to heal a broken bone, she has to feel the pain the person is currently feeling. If the person is on numbing medicines, it doesn’t affect her, so she will still feel the full force of the pain. To injure someone, she has to replicate that injury on herself. If she breaks someone’s leg, she will also have a broken leg. Essentially, she could bring someone back from the dead, or kill them. For this to happen, though, Zoe would have to give up her own life. She cannot heal or injure herself.
There are three reasons she can use her powers so well--first, they manifested at a very young age. Second, they manifested in a very dramatic way. Third, she’s gotten a lot of practice using them. Because of the severity of the rebound, it is more difficult for her to injure someone, not considering the emotional complications. . h i s t o r y . Zoe was orphaned at a young age. In her city, there were two ‘gangs’ of Gifteds who were at ‘war’ with each other, and every Gifted in the city belonged to one of the two gangs. The people who killed her parents found her and took her back to their headquarters. They raised her normally for a while, keeping her sheltered from the violence that would one day become part of her daily life. Then, soon after she turned thirteen, Zoe came across a boy about the same age as her with a gash running across his abdomen in their infirmary. Her heart broke, and she began to cry, confused as to why he was injured so grievously. Suddenly, his wound began to heal, but she didn’t learn that until the next day, because she passed out. She had unknowingly healed him, but by doing so, inflicted the same pain on herself, without recreating the actual injury on her body.. So, in this dramatic way, her power revealed itself.
When she woke in the infirmary, the boy told her what’d happened, and thanked her profoundly for her help, asking how he could ever repay her. Zoe wanted information on how he’d gotten the injury, and he directed her to the leader of the gang, a young man in his early thirties by the name of James Lesper. Amazed by her power, he thought it was time to put her to work in their ranks, but as a doctor. He told her about their war on the other gang. She was so angry that they were throwing young Gifteds into such dangerous situations that she accidentally slashed open his cheek without even touching him. However, by doing this, the same wound was created on her cheek, like a mirror. James told her coldly that they’d saved her life, and she owed it to them to help. But now, she wasn’t a nurse. She was to become a fighter. The idea made her sick to her stomach, and she ran back to the infirmary in tears. The boy she’d helped earlier, whose name was Alec, tried to comfort her, but to no avail.
So bitterly, she was taken by one of the more experienced Gifted fighters, and they hid on the balcony of building. She was given a target and ordered to cripple him in whatever way possible. At first, she tried to refuse, but her the gift her ‘tutor’ had been given was revealed to her--he had the power to make people feel pain without actually inflicting any physical injury. He began to up the sensation of pain in her brain and only stopped when she soon gave in and broke the target’s leg. Her own leg also snapped, increasing the pain she felt. Satisfied, the man brought her back to the infirmary. They found out she couldn’t heal herself, so another healer was brought in. It took only a few hours for the leg to mend, but she was wracked with guilt over what she’d done for days.
This became her life--guilt and pain, the only two emotions she knew. She often worked with Alec, whose power was to control bits of the earth--rocks, cement, things along those lines. Together, they were a force to be reckoned with. She never killed anyone with her power, since she would have had to give up her own life for that to happen, but she was forced to shoot two people. Each time, after those deaths, she hid in her room for days, sobbing and trying to hurt herself as a punishment. The first time she succeeded by slicing her left forearm open with a pair of scissors. Her scream brought James running, and he ordered someone to heal her. It left a huge, ragged scar, and also resulted in every sharp object in her room being taken away. To make her actions worse, there was always a teleporter or healer following her around, watching what she did, a witness to the crimes she committed.
One day, after Alec’s death, she had a day off. She was relaxing in the safer part of the city, away from the fighting, enjoying a cold coffee. A boy she’d never seen before sat down at her table and confronted her about what she’d done to his friends.
If any of the people from her gang had been around, she’d have been punished for treason. Zoe admitted that she hated her power, hated working for such cruel people, hated having to hurt others instead of using her healing power. Some people in the gang wouldn’t have even known she could heal if she hadn’t healed Alec three years ago. The boy, startled at the admission and falling for her gentleness despite everything, offered to help her escape from her life. She accepted with no hesitation, and that day, they left everything and convinced a trucker to let them hide in his truck, and soon enough she was falling for him too. They stopped in the next city over to eat and get some basic supplies, then continued their journey on foot. She learned that his ability was to see what power any person had and to deflect their power back on them.
Zoe felt like she was living in some sort of story book--it was like the story of Romeo and Juliet, which she’d never read, but knew the general idea of. If she had read it, she would have known that it hadn’t ended well for either Romeo or Juliet.
Eventually, they were hunted down by a group of people from her own gang. She and Nathan (the boy) were sitting by a small stream when all of a sudden, she noticed a knife sticking out from his back, right where the heart would be. Shocked into an inability to cry, she frantically tried to heal him, but with his last bit of energy, he used his power, and deflected her attempts back to her. After all, if she’d healed him, she would have killed herself.
Out of empathy, one of the girls in the group, a teleporter, sent Zoe to Foresta, where she hoped the heartbroken girl could find a safe haven.
