Nickname(s): Puri
Age: 26
Height: 5' 5" (5'9" with heels)
Weight: 120 lbs
Rank: Former Model (current status: survivor)
Personality: While in these days she wears a mask of indifference, she is no stranger to compassion. She shows this softer side of herself to children. In her eyes it is they that are truly deserving of such an emotion and she will risk life and limb to care for them. Other than that she has hardened herself, finding no use for emotions that can lead to recklessness. There is not much room for error in the mental world of Puritas. She dislikes to see mistakes repeated, and has no patience with inefficiency. She often becomes quite harsh when her patience is tried in these respects, because she is not naturally tuned in to people's feelings due to her upbringing, and doesn't believe that she should tailor her judgments in consideration for people's feelings.
Puritas typically has strong powers of reasoning, although she's not particularly interested in theories or concepts unless she can see a practical application. Fiercely independent, on occasion she needs to have the space to make her own decisions about her next step. She also has strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends her a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in her approach, she can generally succeed at any task which she undertakes.
Physical Appearance: While she is of slender build, she still does have beautiful womanly curves, average c-cup yet perked breast and long shapely legs. Her skin is a beautiful china white and is as soft as silk. Her hair, is voluminous and thick, taking on the color of snow with strands of silver scattered in the mix. Her sapphire eyes.....those eyes that appear so empty....so lifeless are the second most haunting things about her. They seemed to stare right through you. However, what is the most haunting thing about her was her monotonous voice. Due to the lack of emotion in her tone, one never knew what she is truly thinking.
Before, her attire consisted of Gothic Couture but in days present, since the viral outbreak, her clothes have either consisted of cargo pants and a short sleeve shirt with a tank top beneath and hiking boots, or shorts with the same form of tops and shoes.
Biography: Puritas was born with a silver spoon in her mouth so to speak. Her mother was a renowned ballet dancer and her father and opera singer. Their careers resulted in them bouncing from one country to the next keeping Puritas from forming any bonds with the children she'd come to meet. Unable to stay in one school for too long, a handful of tutors were hired to ensure that she was educated properly but lacking the proper amount of quality time with her parents that are essential for children to develop properly she's always been more reserved and content with her own company than most. However, the desire to please her parents never faded. Instead it drove her to learn as much as she possibly could and to succeed in all that she did, not just for their approval but for their attention.
The attention she desired would come, but the moments they came were brief and few. Eventually she completely succumbed to the fate of being on her own, and while the hired help assisted in her care, she for the most part raised herself. She studied politics, history and social behaviors of societies of cultures. While privileged, this by no means that she was a brat with self entitlement issues. No. She understood the concept of hard work to make a good a financially stable future for yourself. Her parents absence were a constant reminder that nothing was free and that with financial comfort came sacrifice.
At the age of twelve, during one of the rare occasions her parents were available to spend some time home, she attending a get together of sort with friends of her parents. There her by pure chance she was noticed by a designer of Gothic couture. Her pale skin, big sapphire eyes, small frame and voluminous hair were perfect aspects for a model he desired to model his pieces. It was on this night, with the blessing of her parents that her career began though that is not to say her studies stop. Actually, they continued, her tutors traveling with her. It was when she was eighteen years old that her name was known world wide and her image in every couture magazine out there. A great deal of money passed through her hands but none of it was squandered away on pointless things. About twenty percent of her earnings went into her savings while the other eighty percent went to charities that dealt with children, schools and the improvement of low income and otherwise ignored communities.
She saw it as her duty to give back to the community and to help those who would otherwise lack the ability to grab the opportunities that would benefit them and give them a fighting chance to make something of themselves. When the virus hit in 3010 she was twenty one years of age and her parents fell victim to it, dying within days of contracting the virus. The rich and the healthy were the first to be evacuated, but she stayed behind and volunteered in the local hospitals assisting nurses and doctors in the care of the patients by bathing them, feeding them and keeping them company. Her volunteer work continued all the way up until winter of 3015 when she herself had to go into hiding because of the raids that took place and the gathering of human women with the mutants being the reason behind their abductions.
She managed to keep below the radar for a few months before she was forced to move on. However, this move couldn't have come at a worse time. Puritas fell ill and was burning with fever. She figured this was caused by her lengthened exposure to the virus during her years of volunteer work and only now was it taking affect. However, if she was going to die, she was going to die somewhere in a peaceful sleep and not at the hands of the rioters or the mutants. Driven to survive for just a bit longer, she took possession of one of the many abandoned cars and drove the long expanse of a barren road before finally falling asleep at the wheel thus flipping her car into a ditch and slipping into unconsciousness.

Abilities: *Please note that at this time she has not come into her abilities. As the story progresses they will come to surface.
- Enhanced Flexibility- Power to effortlessly bend and twist body.
Capabilities
Able to bend and twist her body far beyond the normal limits of physiology, although still only from the joints. Her joints, muscles, tendons and physiology in general is modified to allow her to perform near-boneless looking contortions without stress or damage and stay in any position she choose as long she needs without effort or strain.

o2. Unable to control or manipulate water, except possibly slush.
