Skills:
Brand is a fully trained SHIELD agent. She is trained in hand to hand combat and marksmanship, as well as espionage techniques and seduction. She also knows a lot about poisons, and prefers to use them as opposed to brute force.
Personality:
Once upon a time, Abby was a fairly normal girl. Well, as normal as a SHIELD agent could be, but that all changed the day her sisters died. She threw herself into her job, closing herself off from everyone else. She can be cold and distant, but will do whatever it takes to save the lives of her teammates. She can also be quite sarcastic, and has little patience for stupidity. She can be rather impatient in general, as a matter of fact.
Abby doesn’t want to lose anyone she cares about ever again. In the worst case scenario, she would gladly sacrifice herself to save others
She usually keeps to herself, a fact that may have gained her a reputation as being a bit of a bitch among some of her other SHIELD agents. The only exception to that being the few who have either managed to break her shell and get to know her, or who have known her since she joined SHIELD five years ago.

The Mutant
Codename:
Brand
Mutant Abilities:
Pyrokenisis- Abigail has a very specific type of pyrokenisis- she can envelop her hands in a blue glow that can either heat or set others aflame via tactile contact.
Omnilingual- Abigail also has the ability to understand any language. She just needs to hear it once, then she is able to speak it fluently.
Weaknesses: (Weaknesses related to powers, personality, fears etc etc)
Despite her SHIELD training, Abby is still a normal human with no increased durability or healing factor. She can be injured or killed like anyone else. She can only summon her fire around her hands- no other parts of her body.
She also hates hearing people talk about Anna and Grace- knowledge about them can easily be used against her.
Abby also suffers from hemophobia (fear of blood).
History:
Abigail’s father was killed in a car crash before she was even born. Her mother, broken hearted, died soon after giving birth to the little girl. She was adopted by her father’s brother and his wife, who had recently given birth to children of their own.
Growing up, Abigail- Or Abby, as she was known, was always close to her ‘sisters’, Anna and Grace. She was only a couple of months younger than the twins, after all. They were her best friends, and the three did everything together.
They all manifested their mutations around the same time, as well, when they were 15. Anna could change her size at will, while Grace could control kinetic energy. And Abby got a mix of powers- her pyrokenesis and omnilingual skills.
And finally, the three girls went to West Point together for college, and were recruited by SHIELD soon after their graduation. After training, the three girls were usually sent on missions together- because they worked together so well, or they were mutants, or they were just good at what they did- Abby wasn’t sure which it was, but it didn’t really matter to her, either.
However, it was on one of their missions together that everything went wrong. They had been tasked with eliminating a person who had been spying on the US government. To do so, they had to go undercover. Normally, that was no big deal for them, but something went wrong- the person they were after had found out about the SHIELD mission.
Abby, Anna, and Grace were captured- other SHIELD operatives were sent on a rescue mission. However, by the time it was over, Grace was dead, and Anna was gravely injured. Abby tried to save her life and stop the bleeding, but she failed. Anna died, leaving Abby covered in her sister’s blood and in shock.
Once she returned from leave after their death, Abby greatly increased her efforts in her training and missions- anything so she wouldn’t think about Anna or Grace. This lead to an estrangement with her parents; Abby blames herself for Anna and Grace’s death and she couldn’t stand to be around them, for fear that they would blame her as well for not being able to save them.
It’s been almost two years, and Abby has moved on. Or so she says; anyone bring up Anna and Grace in conversation will be met with either a glare or a view of her back as she turns around and leaves the conversation.
RP Sample:
Brand forced herself not to shudder as he ran his fingers through her hair. The normal green had been dyed a dark brown for this mission- green hair tends to stick out in undercover missions, after all.
“I really am lucky to have found you…” he muttered into her ear as he kissed along her neck.
She traced her fingers up his back. “You have no idea just how wrong you are.” She muttered, bringing her hands up to his neck.
A quick tap to the pressure points on the back of his neck quickly knocked him out, and she took a step back, adjusting her top with a look of disgust across her face. “Time to pay for your crimes.” She said, crossing her arms over her chest.
Several SHIELD agents stormed into the hotel room a moment later, quickly placing the man into custody, even though he wouldn’t wake up for several hours yet.
“Good job, Agent Brand.”
She looked over at the agent who had spoken, then nodded once. This was her job, after all. He had been wanted for various crimes in several nations- and someone had to get him. And this way, he could stand trial for his crimes… even though Brand personally thought he should die. But that wasn’t up to her.
