Trivia

Powers

Magnetism

Her powers allow her to pull and repel any objects made of or containing metal towards/away from her, just like the positive and negative sides of a magnet. Super handy when your whole job is mainly gathering and selling metal scrap! She’s able to ‘sense’ objects she can affect, there’s a range limit to how far she can control and feel things. (If you need an existing example, think of it similar to magnesis from botw.)

With time Mal is able to train herself to reverse her powers, making other objects act as a magnet for her rather than the other way around. She’s able to quickly pull herself to any metal surfaces or send herself flying with a negative magnetic pulse.

Backstory

Mallory was raised by her grandma in the small desert town of Sunaal. Her parents have been out of the picture for as long as she can remember, all she knows is that ‘mum’ is grandma's daughter and ‘dad’ is someone who grams doesn’t like talking about. They've been borderline poor their entire lives. Once she was old enough, Mal took up whatever jobs she could to try and help out with cash. She eventually picked up scrap scavenging once she found out it could pay well and now it's her main gig. She sells to a number of different clients (it’s crazy how many people want this junk) most customers seem shady. Mal’s street smart in her area, but not so much the city. She's only been to ninjago city three times in her entire life and she's not the biggest fan of how busy it is.

Mal loves her grams very much and would do anything for her, she’s her only family after all. At some point, gran becomes sick and unable to work. Mal has to work her ass off to try and pay for important medication for her grandma and house bills, which means she's spending more time out and about looking for things that can make a pretty buck and picking up more jobs here and there. Because of her desperate situation, Mal ends up stealing from the bounty one day when the ninja just so happen to be in the same area. They’re out on some mission and left the ship parked in an area she happened to stumble upon. Taking the opportunity by the balls, she steals Jay's gaming console, takes some parts from the ship's control panels and motors and maybe even nicks a few minor weapons they left lying around. The ninja get back to find things gone and are all pissed. Nothing suuuper important got taken, everything stolen could be replaced but still..they’re pretty mad. They rewind the camera feed on the ship to find out who did it and they get a bit of a glimpse of Mal but she’s got her hood and bandanna up so they can’t make out who she is. There's no leads past the camera clips and they can’t track her, bummer.

A few weeks later, the ninja visit Jay's parents and Mal just so happens to be there junk diving. They dont even realise shes the same person that stole from them until the last minute when she tries to slip away in a panic, thinking 'oh fuck i just stole from these people’ and pulls her bandanna up to try and hide her face more, and zane being a robot with a photographic memory goes "wait a minute, your silhouette looks familiar." Once the ninja figure out it was her who stole from them, they get angry and try to corner her. Mal ends up pulling down a large heap of scrap with her powers in an attempt to get away which catches the ninja off guard and she's quick to hightail it out of there before any of them are able to catch her. So now they’re aware she has powers of some kind. Great.
