LADY LUCK : moon yerim ──♡── 23 ( jun 27 ) + intelligence hero + biexual ( single )
numerical precision is the ability to be precise with numbers and view
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PERSONALITY : Every little girl dreams of being a princess. Let's just say that Yerim never stopped dreaming, even if her current situation is far from the princess life. You would think that being obsessed with clothes and looking like a princess is something that you grow out of. That not everything has to be pink, but this hero has never thought that way. Her lifestyle reflects a life of someone that has never quite given up the dream of being swept off her feet by a dashing prince, a penchant for shiny things and bright colors. Yerim has always been bright and happy, and maybe a bit too romantic for her own good. A string of...less than successful prince trials will prove that. It also doesn't seem, from first glance, that she's supposed to be the intelligence hero. A bit airheaded at times, despite the uncanny way she can tell you the precise time. Combined with an airy voice; forget it — most people think she's a little slow, but it's just the way she talks when she's not excited.
Yerim has always been a bit particular. Wants certain things exactly the way she wants it. It's a wonder the costume department even managed to get her to compromise over the gigantic skirt she'd wanted in the beginning. The start of her career as a hero would have been very different, to say the least. But — it's pink? And this isn't just her costume, we're talking about. It's important to have a healthy balance in life. She's never been the kind of person to neglect care of herself, and deems it just as important to have a work-life balance. And...some people tend to see this as her not taking her job seriously — especially with her being on the older end of the big hero spectrum. But she does. At the end of the day, she's still just a person.
Or, in her case: still just a princess waiting for her prince.

HERO NOTES :
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
HISTORY : When this whole thing started — y'know...life — her parents hadn't expected much. Yerim was born bright and happy, so happy they said she laughed instead of cried when the doctor spanked her newborn tush. Which was a lie, but they liked to think she'd always been fairly happy. Happy into childhood, in her little pink jumpers and neat little maryjanes. They didn't think too much of the way her math scores had been so good, or the way she could just seemingly luck out on something that seemed so precise. Her powers were not something so obviously noted until she hit middle school.
Picture this: the annual all-grades dodgeball match. Yerim hadn't been able to participate in the sixth grade, but as a seventh grade without a sign of being sick, she was ready to go. Her sparkly pink hair scrunchies holding long black hair out of her face, laces just as pink as she darted around the court. They tried to get her first. They tried getting her second. They tried that little ricochet movie they saw in that one movie, where the ball would bounce off someone else and onto her. But nothing seemed to work. Then there's Billie Dyer, with his super strength and maybe she had a crush on him.
But a crush didn't matter in light of winning the game for her team.
Yerim, and everyone else, learned several things. The chief among those things was that she was gifted with the sort of precision that was borderline godly. A dodge here, a turn there; she was giving Billie a run for his money. But there was also the matter of her returning throws being just right. Just out of reach of someone, but just where it needed to be to double bounce off three people. Until it was just she and Billie standing, and well...She won. Suddenly the talk of the whole school, she was thrust into the spotlight and suddenly there was testing being done.
She was much too young then to even realize what she could do with her powers. Mostly it served her well in getting good grades, picking the right seat. Little things like that. It wasn't until the whole crime rate thing because a problem that anyone considered she might be a hero of some sort. Small things where she might interfere with an active crime with a well-placed object or perfectly timed step backward. Yerim, as much as she liked helping others, tried not to be too much in the spotlight.
Though, when the hero licenses were first announced, she jumped at the chance. Because: a) what better way to meet her prince charming than working as a hero and b) she could wear a super costume while doing what'd done for quite some time. (Okay, so maybe the costume bit isn't as great as it could be, but she likes the one she has now!) The only problem is, she doesn't really see herself doing this for long. Get in, get hitched, and get out is the game plan. Even with all her adoring fans cheering her on.
P E R S O N A L I T Y | devil in a new dress
Let's just get right into it: there is no saving Garcelle's soul. Her soul, if she ever had one, is never going to see the pearly gates. She's not the sort of person that someone considers good or even average. The most forgiving person may never forgive her for the things she does.
P O W E R S | binding pact
The average individual will meet and greet thousands of people. Some with intention to harm, or do some good. But all seek to benefit from this meeting in some way. Garcelle's ability is primed for this, somewhere in the magic category. [ Binding Pact ] allows for Garcelle to form of a pact where she may manipulate an individual into doing her will, for a price. Some may see it go so far as summoning individuals. It requires that she have their full name or true name (as in the name that applies to them specifically; not a nickname either. Trans individuals would be using their current name — not their dead name — as that is who they truly are) and a handshake lasting longer than 5 seconds. This contact, following the initial shake, lengths the time she is able to have someone under her control. It's truly a nefarious ability, but she isn't a villain for nothing.
minor abilities:
limited teleportation (requires someone she knows to be in the location she is teleporting to, and previous knowledge of it).
limited weapon creation (must understand how the weapon works and cannot be made from nothing).
twenty-seven ( dec 13 ) / asexual / unaffiliated villain / 6'1 / blk hair / silvered fingertips
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────The problem is that Garcelle is aware of how pretty she is. A striking sort of beauty that one might consider to be fox-like. Uncanny in some ways, but whatever the case: you stare. And it's fine; she used to make money off her face. There's nothing wrong with that. It's the knowing she's pretty, with her rough voice and sweet words, that causes the trouble. Usually decked out fairly fashionably, she prefers long coats, sleeveless shirts, sometimes a halter top, and long pants. She may sometimes be spotted wearing gloves, but those are usually fingerless to show off her mutation.
