Sheaenna -

kind of branches off of Shana, which has Hebrew origin and means "beautiful", it's also a feminine version of an Irish name "Shane"

Shea -

Irish origin! means 'the stately, dauntless one'

Tomatuk - Cree Origin

Desmond - Irish Origin

human

full Cree

5'9"/173 cm
on the taller side for someone her age, but not too extremely tall

160 lbs/72.5 kg
fairly average and a little on the heavy side, it's all muscle

a dark tan with warm undertones

muscled and well built. not bulky, not skinny, a happy medium.

pointed chin, sharp cheekbones

orange. like garfield orange. Yes, she dyes it that way.

the natural color is dark, dark brown

shea just leaves her hair down or ties the top section of it up into a messy bun in a half-up half-down type of deal.

her hair is medium in thickness but it's insanely fluffy. she doesn't take the best care of it so it's pretty wild looking. kind of choppy

n/a

her natural dark chestnut color, kind of sharp and thick, usually arched downwards

shea has round almond-shaped eyes with violet irises and long, black eyelashes. heavy and dark bags underneath them

before experimentation, her eyes were dark, dark brown

has a long, slightly-hooked nose, the bridge is crooked due to her breaking it when she was seven

medium lips, a wide mouth, and a mischievous smile.

one scar stretching from the left side of her hairline all the way down to her jaw, goes over her eye and through her eyebrow

large jagged scar near the bottom of her left ribcage from where she clawed the tracker out of her

just some assorted tattoos on her arms, nothing too much and nothing of significance. on her right arm there's a cartoony frog on her shoulder and a snake winding around her bicep. on her left arm there's a patterned band around her bicep and a big lightning bolt across her shoulder and back.

slightly slumped, but still not terrible.

Shea is naturally pretty energetic and upbeat. She's excitable and loves to go do things. She's also pretty physical-touch driven and likes to tackle people sometimes. She loves a good competition, she loves just the thrill of competing, even though she doesn't care all that much if she comes out on top. Kind of like a dog, y'know? She's also very naturally curious and always has a million questions on her mind. She rarely asks these questions, instead choosing to figure them out on her own. However, she dislikes it when a topic gets highly theoretical and abstract. Pretty logic-based.

Shea can be intense, often taking things up to the next level when the situation really doesn't need to be escalated. Shea also really only looks out for herself. She thinks that people are great and all, but in the end the only person that's going to be there for her is herself. Shea tends to forget other people's emotions exist and just says whatever out of pocket thing she's thinking of. She doesn't mean to, it's just she has to filter and no speedbump between her brain and mouth. Despite this, Shea's a naturally very extroverted person and loves making friends and talking to people.

Shea is also teasing and loves to give people a hard time. If she accidentally offends someone, she really doesn't apologize unless it's absolutely necessary. Kind of an asshole, not gonna lie.

When she makes a mistake, though, she owns up to it and moves on and gets snappy when somebody tries to dwell on it. She's very confident in her abilities and rarely doubts herself. Once a decision is made, it's made, but if things go off-track then Shea's willing to improvise and go with it.

When Shea gets angry, her emotions end up controlling her. She doesn't exactly have the coolest head and that can lead to

ESTP-A - The Entrepreneur

chaotic neutral

fight

Shea's never one to back down from a brawl and isn't afraid to throw down. even if she knows that she won't be able to take down a threat by herself, she'll sure as hell still try.

• Not knowing
  Due to Shea's natural curiosity, she really does want to know. If she can't know, then she's in the dark and then that's bad.




• Hurting those she loves
  Shea's ability is very hard to control, even a millisecond of eye contact is enough to send somebody spiraling into hysteria. Shea forms close bonds relatively quickly and the idea of hurting those she loves always leaves a bitter taste in the back of her mouth.




• Having her past catch up
  Shea knows that she isn't at fault for what happened to her. She was brainwashed and experimented on and turned into a slaughtering machine. The last thing she wants is that catching up to her, to have it be the reason for her destruction. She wants to move on and start anew.

Super, Epic, Cool

Intense, Powerful, Energetic

• Figure out her childhood
  After Shea was kidnapped and after being stuck in the Compound with no memories before eleven-years-old, Shea grew very suspicious and did some digging. She found out her last name and that she had a life before the Compound and she wants to know. This curiosity was what led her to escape the Compound and go on a world-trekking adventure to figure herself out.




• Shut down Donovan
  This is kind of a secondary thing for Shea, but it's big for Bianca so now it's big for Shea. After she escaped the Compound, she kinda realized how fucked up Donovan Enterprises and the Six Initiative is. With the help of Bianca, she realized exactly how corrupt Donovan is and how he plans on taking over the world and that is a no can do and so now she's trying to take him down.




• overcome what Donovan did to her
  Now that she knows all of the screwed up things Donovan did, Shea wants to figure out who she really is. When she finally realizes the nature of Donovan’s influence, Shea just wants to break free of that and grow into who she was really ment to be.

Assassin for Donovan Enterprises

Shea just really loves purple because of just how cool it looks. Her favorite purple is a vibrant purple just barely ebbing into pink.

Frogs

the little suckers are her favorite. She loves to chase em around and always instills a sense of nostalgia in her

clear nights

something about the atmosphere always puts her at ease. she loves looking up at the stars and studying them.

October 16th

small little utopia city in Ontario, Canada

educated in public schools until age 11, then was taken by Donovan and educated heavily in many different topics in the Compound

Shea was born to her biological parents in Ontario, Canada, however the area she lived in was extremely high in violence so her biological parents gave her up for adoption. Shea was then adopted by Martin and Adrienne Desmond and she went to live in a small town near the northern Ontario and Quebec border. They had a son two years older than her named Colton.

When Shea was six, she started in hockey - the town's favorite sport. (literally this small utopia town went batshit insane over this sport) Shea was naturally pretty good at the sport and by the time she was ten, she had made up her mind that this is what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

When Shea was eleven, she had tried to convince Cole to go out on an adventure with her to the Frog Pond. Cole, too busy with his middle school homework, told Shea to go alone and he'd join her text time. Slightly dejected but still itching to get out of the house, Shea left on her own to go to the Frog Pond.

It was here Shea was snagged by Donovan Enterprises.

She was taken from Quebec, Canada all the way to Eastern Concordia to the Compound. She had her memories wiped and then she was experimented on.

The Compound underneath Donovan Enterprises Facility #16 in Eastern Concordia, located in the Sonoran Desert.

Runaway Protagonist

Dynamic

Grows from not really giving two shits about others to saving the man who tried to slaughter her. learns what love is.

Grows from pretty much a pawn in Donovan's plans to killing him. realizing the extensiveness of Donovan's Empire

When Shea got to the Compound, she was instantly thrusted into hand-to-hand combat lessons and breaking and entering. Basically, they wanted her to be the "monk" of the Six. She quickly became the best rounded physically. She's the second fastest, second strongest, most agile and dexterous. When she was fourteen, Donovan began experimenting on her to heighten her reflexes and speed.

From ages 12-14, Shea was trained and injected with steroids and supplements to help prepare her body for her great surgery which would truly turn her superhuman. However, when Shea was in surgery, she had an unexpected reaction to the anesthetic and it caused her to have a seizure. The doctors misaligned the steroids (which were going to go into her cerebellum and reflexes) the needle hit her amygdala. It was going to kill her, so the doctors had to quickly improvise and change her abilities.

Since Shea wasn't built for this ability, it has had serious backlash on her. Shea often wakes up with nightmares of her own and can't truly control her ability. She got migraines that were near debilitating and always felt the urge to cause fear and create destruction.

She was fifteen when she was sent on her first mission: slaughter three leaders of a rising organization CACSE (Citizens Against Capitalist-Systematic Endeavors). She succeeded.

Aside from this, Shea became close with the other members of The Six, but she mainly coincided and socialized with Number Two: Abel Nakamura. Abel and Shea quickly became best friends, both of them with an internal drive for destruction.

When she was sent on another mission when she was seventeen, she witnessed Abel brutally massacre a woman, even after she pleaded for her life. She had children at home. Abel didn't care. While her high-opinion of Abel didn't change, Shea's view of Donovan and his corporation slowly began to. He never told them why they were killing the ones they did. He never told them his own agenda. When Shea returned to the Compound that night, she began wondering. A mother. What about mine?

Donovan had always told them that he saved them from the war-torn streets, that he took them in when the world would no longer look after them. But that didn't feel right in Shea's mind. It didn't add up.

The last straw was when she was twenty-one. Shea was just entering the Compound after her mission, tired but entirely successful. Per usual, there were guards and officers around the building as Shea entered through the heavily concealed entrance just on the side of Facility #16. The cries of a daughter she heard earlier that day rang in her ears. The parents' soft shushing echoed. Her heart aching to know at least what happened to her family won over any sort of self-preservation and Shea lashed out. She killed all eight security officers before they could sound an alarm.

And she ran.

She took off into the Sonoran desert, clawing at her side to remove the tracker embedded along the crest of her ribcage.

Shea has the ability to control anybody's reaction to fear via eye contact. Her amygdala (part of the brain that controls a reaction to fear) is predatory and likes to latch on to any surrounding amygdala and control it. If Shea makes eye-contact with somebody, she then has control over their amygdala even if they break eye contact. Shea has a hold on it until she decides to drop it. Now that she has ahold of it, Shea can either send the amygdala into overdrive (can make their heart go so fast it stops, can make them hallucinate, can make them go mad with fear) or she can stop all sorts of amygdala reaction (get rid of any sort of fear reaction at all).

How to beat Shea in a fight:
- wear something over your eyes that's difficult to remove
- keep your distance
- watch your back
- basically avoid any sort of eye contact with her

How to avoid a fight with Shea:
- keep your head down, don't get targeted
- keep your mouth shut
- don't draw any attention to yourself

Donovan was sick of people blackmailing him so he started the Six Initiative and took six children and turned them into superhuman assassins

experimented on ages 11-16

Shea wasn't initially supposed to have this superpower, but when in surgery on her brain (she was 14 years old), Shea had an unexpected seizure and the surgeons ended up injecting her amygdala with this hyper-serum instead of her cerebellum. This is what gave Shea her powers. It wasn't what Donovan had planned, but considering that he can't go and get a brand new assassin, he just rolled with it.

nothing more than a quick, purple, glowing flash of her eyes

however, her victim can hallucinate if that's what Shea wants and they see whatever they fear most.

• fully takes over someone if she gets the smallest amount of eye contact


• it's only over when she decides it's over

• her body wasn't built for it


• heavily backlashes on her with nightmares


• has to be eye contact without any sort of barriers (including glasses, contacts and windows)

loud, kind of grating, fast talking and lower voice. gets more and more crackley the louder she speaks.

hyena-esque low and airy cackling sound, clutches her stomach and doubles over if it's particularly good

Shea grew up speaking primarily English and French, but due to her heritage and community she also knows a little Algonquian.

After she was abducted, she was schooled in a few more Native North American languages and a couple Latin-based ones.

• curses a lot


• likes to use wild comparisons


• huffs and seethes a lot when doing something that requires a lot of effort


• mumbles to herself when focused

her usual day-to-day attire (bottom to top):
- ratty yet vibrant purple high tops
- dark gray-blue wide legged jeans with tears in the knees
- a leather gray belt with a black buckle
- cropped and flowy purple-gray t-shirt
- delicate silver necklace with a four pointed star charm on it

assassin outfit (bottom to top):
- knee-high black boots with a slight platform and plenty of buckles and straps
- flexible yet fitting black pants
- a thick dark-gray long sleeve
- a black army-style bulletproof vest with lots of pockets
- black leather gloves
- black and gray metal mask that fits over the bottom half of her face.

• 2 knives (switchblades)


• a pistol


• gum


• sleeping pills


• shortstaff

usually she favors her powers over anything because of how effective they are, but she also settles for a short staff (about 1 yd/1 m) that breaks in half at the center to create two smaller staffs. these can hold an electrical charge and shock when Shea presses a button. the staffs are dark gray with glowing purple rings at the center where they can separate and at the ends.

Shea usually uses whatever Donovan provides for long distances, but when the distance is shorter, Shea loves to use a motorbike.

Her favorite motorbike is a sleek dark-gray with glowing violet trimming and led lights. the design is modern with a smooth seat.

the muscles on the left side of her face don't move as well as the right side due to the scarring

farsighted, needs glasses

suffers from intense nightmares due to the nature of her power

Biological Parents: Charlotte & Jackson Tomatuk
Shea was born to them, but she was given up only about a month after her birth. They gave Shea up for her own safety and Shea's curious as to what happened to them, but she doesn't consider them her real parents.

Mother: Adrienne Hence
Adrienne is a soft woman with a big heart. She took Shea in with almost no hesitation and wanted to give Shea the best life she could ever want. Shea and Adrienne were close. Adrienne was a good mother, knowing when to put her foot down and when to give in. Shea never asked for much, and Adrienne usually supplied Shea with anything she needed.

Father: Martin Hence
Shea and Martin were close and they liked to do a lot of things together. Martin is a biologist and Shea's favorite thing ever was to go out and catch frogs. Martin's knowledge in amphibians and reptiles always fascinated Shea beyond belief. She really looked up to Martin.

Biological Brother: Morrison Tomatuk
Shea never knew of Morris's existence. Morris was fourteen when Shea was born and practically living on his own away from the Tomatuk family.

Adopted Brother: Cole Desmond
Cole and Shea were thick as thieves. They loved to go adventuring around the town and track mud prints into the house. Both of them were equally adventurous and curious. They were an obvious headache to their neighbors, but they couldn't care less. When Cole began getting older and getting more responsibilities, Shea couldn't help but be insanely upset which led to some tension between the siblings. Nevertheless, Cole would lay down his life for his little sister and Shea wouldn't hesitate to do the same.

biromantic, bisexual

cool beans, sign her up for that sounds nice. nothing too serious towards the idea, maybe the right person will change her mind.

physical touch

shea loves to tackle people and sling her arms around them. she gives out high-fives and makes up all sorts of complex handshakes with people. she just really loves physical contact and since she can't really make eye-contact with people, some intimacy is hard for her to achieve.

Bianca Wong

Bianca and Shea first met when Bianca's friends found Shea bleeding and unconscious in the middle of the Eastern Concordian Desert. They brought Shea to the hospital and they patched her up. Bianca was skeptical of her and stayed by her bedside while she woke up. When Shea woke up, Shea immediately professed how hot and attractive she thought Bianca was. Bianca was unfazed. Shea, high on painkillers, told Bianca (who was already extremely suspicious of Angel Donovan) about where she came from and who she worked for and how she wanted to run away. Bianca, slightly impulsive, said that she wanted Shea to take her to all the Donovan Facilities around the globe to shut them down. Shea agreed.

Over the course of the journey, Shea found herself very attracted to Bianca, but really only discovered her feelings after Bianca was attacked by Paisley and bleeding. Shea fell asleep next to Bianca, and when she woke up, she saw Bianca's eyes. Ever since then, Shea's been extremely protective.

Shea is pretty clingy in a relationship and very much touchy-feely. she can be pretty protective of Bianca and goes feral if/when Bianca's hurt. Shea also drops the corniest pick-up lines and the sappiest comments that make Bianca both want to throw up and kiss Shea senseless.
