 POWER Sarah is a Mimic. A creature that appears in a human form most of the time but has the ability to shapeshift. She can hold her forms that are not human for one hour at most before becoming exhausted and reverting to her human form. Sarah was never taught to use her abilities very well and so she spends most of her time in human form, but the rest of the time she can transform into one of three other objects:

CHAIR FORM: The largest and most powerful form that Sarah possess, she becomes a slatted redwood chair. This chair has four legs, a slatted back, no mechanical parts or ability to locomote at all, and it is equipped with a plush dark green pillow. This form allows her to be furniture for a brief time if the need arose. This is what most Mimics would call their 'sturdy' or 'tank' form, but hers is a chair.

MIXER FORM: Sarah can become an electric hand-mixer as her 'combat' form, this consists of a blue hand mixer from the nineteen nineties. She has a cord in this form that is very short and she can run this form's electric properties with her own body energy. This allows her to spin the twin mixers whether or not she is plugged in. If she is plugged in, then she receives no energy drain from running the mixer heads. She can't however charge from being plugged in, and therefore can only use the energy from the socket to run the mixer. Her mixer heads seem to be attached to her physically and cannot be removed if she is in mixer form.

SLINKY FORM: Sarah's stealth form allows her to turn into a large, hand-sized copper slinky. Slinky form allows her to become the classic children's toy to use to escape or to not be noticed to to take a fun tumble down the stairs. She has the limited ability to locomote in this form in that she can flop from side to side slightly, allowing her to sometimes tumble in the classic slinky fashion.

 APPEARANCE Sarah, in classic Mimic stature is a very lean and well built but very thin girl. She is rather tall for a Mimic or even a female and stands at nearly six feet tall. Sarah slouches frequently while walking not due to shame but simply that is frequently too lazy to stand all the way upright. She, like most of her people, is a very good listener, so much so that she frequently forgets too look at and knowledge the people that she is speaking too even though she is both invested in the conversation and listening attentively.

Sarah's skin is pale almost to the point of being white, her hair is is a wintry light gray and cut very short. Her eyes are a very bright purple and are quite large to fit her face. Sarah seems to be able to only take clothes with her when she transforms if they are in direct contact with her skin, (ie, if she were to transform in normal clothes with a coat, her normal clothes would transform with her but the coat would simply fall to the floor) Keeping this in mind preferring to have clothes when she transforms back into her humanoid form, she wears a pair of tight black pants, short gray socks, and a purple tube top shirt. 

 PERSONALITY Sarah goes from one of two extremes, most of time she is a very jovial and talkative person who loves to express herself and talk about the things that she knows. She loves to talk to people and to learn new things from her insatiable thirst for knowledge. Contrarily, when Sarah is stressed she will frequently retreat to a quiet place to read to study. If she is in a particularly bad mood, she will turn into and object to hide, and on the flip side of that she will often transform in the form of a prank when she is in a good mood.

Sarah is seen as somewhat quirky, she says things that are out of place and refers to strange points of view such as being a furniture or even describing how it as as if that's normal, after all those forms are like parts of her body to her so when she describes how it feels to have water make your wooden pores swell up and your pillow gets soaked, she means this literally because this is normal for her. This can alienate people at times with her strange metaphors but she loves to interact with people and tries hard to make friends.

It's pretty hard to make her mad, but she really hates being talked about behind her back. Since Sarah is such a keen listener and is frequently found as an inanimate object, she hates it if people talk about her as if she isn't around (Or they don't realize that she's around) This will make her sore to someone very fast with little chance of redemption. It isn't always easy to tell if she's upset but if she goes to brood it's in your best interest stay away. Breaking furniture and inanimate objects out of anger or spite also makes her more scared than angry.

Sarah's appreciation for books and literature comes from the fact that she is such a well read and intelligent person and that she loves to read. Why? Because Sarah is a person who doesn't know what she wants to do with herself. The things that she knows how to do well (Stealing, hiding and sneaking) are not things that she is proud of or would like to make a life out of and she reads to try to find new interests and things to try to find a more productive path for herself in her life.

 WEAKNESSES Sarah's weaknesses are easily apparent. Firstly, she is physically weak in any of her forms beit that she is a slinky, a chair, a mixer, and a frail girl, this means that she isn't difficult to hurt if someone really wanted too. Secondly, she can't transform into any other items, only those three and her human form. She is also incapable of partial transformation, she must be in one form or the other and nothing inbetween. Finally, she does not have the ability to alter the appearance of any of her forms, her mixer is blue, her chair is redwood with a green pillow, and her slinky is always unpainted copper. This means that if someone knew her forms, her hiding ability would be somewhat limited considering if she were to hide in a chair repository of black chairs, she would be easily noticeable with no way to change her appearance. 

 STRENGTHS The things that make Sarah weak can also be turned into strengths. Firstly, though she cannot move in any form except human and slinky, she can use these forms to hide rather effectively. If she were to become a slinky in a toy bin or a mixer in a kitchen, it could be perfect camouflage to the unsuspecting. Secondly, Sarah retains all of her senses while in the new forms. She isn't sure how this is possible but she can hear, see, smell, feel and even taste in her other forms. This allows her to be very observant while in her other forms and allows for good observation. Finally, though she is not a physically strong person, Sarah is rather robust in her other forms in that she will not take any damage in her other forms unless parts of her are removed. For example, if someone were to bend her in slinky form and she reverted back, while it would hurts, she would not be damaged at all and her slinky form would be fine once she reverts back to it. If parts of her were to break while in her other forms though then she would sustain a severe injury.

 HISTORY Sarah ended up knowing very little about herself as a child. Her parents abandoned her early on for unknown reasons, she has no idea who they were or where they went. Her earliest memories involve herself being inside of an orphanage. She was treated badly by the other children there, unfortunately for her she was the only nonhuman in the orphanage. This made her a target for the other children who finally had someone to put all of their pent up aggression on.

Being as frail as she was, Sarah had a very hard time defending herself, and instead she spent her energy and stress on making her first Mimic forms as items around that she could hide with, hence her chair, kitchen utensil, and toy forms. These were created due to her stress at her upbringing and forced these forms. She never could learn any more forms from that point on. With no other mimics to teach her how to control her powers, she stagnated quickly after taking her first forms that she took when she was six years old for the first time. 

It didn't take long for the children to figure out which pieces she was and to destroy any items that looked like her. They took to destroying the items that looked similar to Sarah's transformations and she found herself reverting to her humanoid from with bruises, cuts, and broken bones. It wasn't long before she realized that she wasn't ever going to be adopted and had to leave. She struck out into the night after a particularly bad bout of bullying and never looked back.

Sarah wandered streets and paths and alleys as an urchin for years as she developed from a child to a young woman. She found she could hide and steal and survive her harsh world with her acquired forms. The guilt eventually caught up to her after a time and she tried to find a way to be more productive in the world instead of scraping by. She wandered until ultimately boarding a ferry and finding herself on the strange island of Foresta.
