Profile


Essentials:

-Can voluntarily enter any sleeping mind, stirring up and shaping dreams on a whim. Dreamers can resist her, but most barely recognize Ella as an outside force at all. She loves to play games in people's heads.

-If she visits a dreamer frequently enough, they will definitely remember her on waking. The next time she dreams with them, they will automatically be lucid and aware of Ella's intrusion/dream manipulation.

-Comfortable with her powers, uses them inadvisably often. It's gotten her into trouble on several, several occasions.

-Can seek out particular dreamers if she's dreamed with them before OR if she knows them well in person. Most dreaming is with strangers, however, which is straight up ChatRoulette style shenanigans.

-Some people are more lucid than others! Ella can coax dreamers closer to lucidity if she wants them to remember things when the wake, or if she wants to shape the dream in a more collaborative fashion. Sometimes she'll bring them up to lucid status just to talk more intelligently if she's feeling lonely. Or, there's always the option to try to bury them deeper if they're not pleasant conversationalists or express displeasure in her presence. If she overpowers them, dreamers may forget her intrusion completely, but that takes significant effort.

-Most people with any kind of unusual power (mutants, supernatural creatures, etc.) are aware of her presence. Whether that's frightening, intriguing or straight up tresspassing is up to the individual.

-If Ella dies in a dream, it doesn't do lasting harm. But it is disorienting! She's instantly thrown from the dreaming world back into her fleshy body, which hurts. It's just as painful if Ella tries to enter a mind that is awake- she can do it, technically, but it is severely upsetting and painful. Not recommended, even in emergencies!

 

Relationships:

Prof. Silas Hawthorn:

Cranky older mentor figure. Ella is constantly getting lectures, but she does like having an older mutant to watch her back. She visited him for lessons and advice at first, but now it's habit for Ella to just turn up at his house whenever she's bored/avoiding homework/whatever. He is not particularly thrilled about this habit.

Noah "The Storm" Miller:

She contacted The Storm when Prof. Hawthorn's friend came looking for help to save her husband. Ella agrees to chase off Noah's primary enemy if he'll help with a jailbreak.
