Zelda von Hausen

Gender: Female

Age: 26

Group: Elemental Manipulation (specify)

Game: The Gifted

Nationality

Austrian born, USA citizen

Mutant or Human

Zelda can freely generate, shape, and manipulate fire; the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion; releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. She is also immune to heat, being more or less invulnerable to the direct and indirect effects of fire.

Job/Occupation(not required)

(Formerly) Performance Artist - Principal Dancer in Solstice Ballet Company

(Currently) Instructor/Trainer - emphasising cardio & general conditioning via Pilates, yoga and plyometrics

Physical Appearance

She has the classical physique of a dancer; slim with a long neck, a medium length torso, long legs with complimentary long arms and high insteps. And she owes it all to genetics, ridiculously long days of training and selectively applied instances of malnourishment.

5'8" 115 lbs (170 cm 52 kg)

Personality

She is a notorious flirt and natural negotiator, but until The Rupture, Zelda spent very little time outside of the theater; dedicating most of her waking hours to practice, rehearsal & performance. She enjoys sketching, but makes very little time to pursue it. 

Backstory

On the night the ether and boundaries between universes collapsed and brought them into contact with one another, the Solstice Ballet Company’s stage cracked clean in half; rupturing gas mains and swallowing the performance troop whole. It took Zelda three days to claw her way to the surface only to discover she was the lone survivor of one horror among countless others. In the weeks and months that followed it became clear that society’s efforts were solely directed towards survival. With resources and work force in high demand, it would be years if ever before elite art forms such as ballet and theater returned to the opulent. Sustenance, shelter, safety - these were what mattered. But Zelda was ill-equipped to contribute towards any of those. So her journey towards practicability was a tough one indeed.
