The Person
Name: Sarah Ann Winston
Age: 17
Place of Birth: Manhattan, NY
Applying too: Xavier's
In what capacity: Student
Family:
Eric Winston, father, disowned
Pamela Winston, mother, disowned
Height:
Five feet
Weight:
105 lbs
Appearance:
Sarah is a actually a tiny little thing, standing at only about five feet tall, and 105lbs. She stands on two legs and has harms and hands, and a normal shaped face like a regular human. However, her skin tone is orange, her hair is black, her eyes are reptilian in look. She has the forked tongue of a lizard and tail. Sarah also has short sharp claws that seem a bit more like nails on her hands. Her body is proportional in curves to her size and her body is slim. On a normal human she would seem to be a bit too thin, but as a mutate her form is fitting.
Skills:
Scrapping: Using anything she can get her hands on, her claws and her tail as well in a fight. She's vicious when her back is against the wall. If she ever get's pushed that far she can be extremely dangerous.
Cooking: Oddly enough she's very good at cooking, especially making something out of nothing and cooking over an open flame. It stems from years of necessity.
Dancing: Sarah loves to dance and she's watched dance classes from the shadows and mimicked the moves until she learned how to do them.
Mimicry: Sarah is actually adept at mimicking movements in an attempt to learn new things. However, she has to practice until she gets it right, it's not something she can just pick up on the fly.
Personality:
Sarah is actually a very caring and sweet young woman. She looks out for the urchins and those that can't protect themselves. She loves to dance and laugh, and has taught herself to make something out of nothing when it comes to cooking. She's self reliant and independent, though that is out of necessity. She doesn't speak much and when she does she has a bit of a lisp and her the letter S comes out in a slight hiss due to her forked tongue. She's terrified of strangers and does her best to remain unnoticed due to how she looks. She's a fierce fighter when she's protecting someone or her back is against the wall. She has an extreme weakness for unusual and shiny objects not to mention she has a real soft spot for ice cream. It doesn't matter what kind, she loves the stuff. She isn't very educated and can barely count on her fingers. She can not read nor does she know how to write, due to having been on her own at such a young age. She knows the streets and rooftops of Gotham as well as anyone and makes a terribly good tour guide. Sarah never asks for anything in return when she does something for someone, and often disappears before the person can even say thank you.
She's extremely shy and self conscious, which makes her extremely naïve when someone is actually nice to her. She'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt, but screw her once and gaining that trust back is nearly impossible. The girl is a fierce and loyal friend and would risk exposure if a friend was in trouble, even if she doesn't realize the friendship is one sided. It may take her time but she will eventually figure out if she is being used. If that happens she will cut ties with the user and more than likely withdraw further into herself. Her intelligence level isn't high on the book smarts, but she's clever. Due to her mistreatment at the hands of her parents she's wary of people, but anyone who actually took the time to get to know her, would find a beautiful young woman under her monsterous appearance.

The Mutant
Codename: Viscid
Mutant Abilities:
Pheromone secretion: Sarah has the ability to secret pheromones from her skin. It is only effective if the other person's skin touches hers. She can control this ability like most of her others, however like any other secretion powers, if she gets overly emotional her powers can go whacky, and may secrete more than she intended, causing the possibility of obsession.
Toxin secretion: Like the pheromone secretion, she can secrete toxins with varying levels of severity. For the most part the most her toxin will do is paralyze the person. Unless she actually uses it with the intent of making it more dangerous. Or if her emotions are out whack, she might set off a lethal level by accident.
Adhesion: Due to the fact she was spliced with a salamander [an amphibian often mistaken for a lizard], Sarah can stick to any surface, including glass. Hence where she got the code name Viscid. She can also climb any surface with this ability. If the surface has been 'slicked' with oil, or something similar, then she can not adhere to it.
Regeneration: It may take time, but she has the ability to regenerate lost limbs and organs, save for her head and heart. However her heart and/or head have to be fully removed for it actually kill her.
Accelerated healing: She has the ability to heal faster than most, from cuts, burns, to nerve damage. What could take months for other would only take her weeks, weeks are days, and etc.
She is immune to her own toxins and pheromones.
Weaknesses:
Pheromone secretion: If she gets overly emotional her powers can go whacky, and may secrete more than she intended, causing the possibility of obsession.
Toxin secretion: If her emotions are out whack, she might set off a lethal level by accident.
Adhesion: If the surface has been 'slicked' with oil, or something similar, then she can not adhere to it.
Regeneration: However removing her head or heart can kill her. She can't regenerate them if they are gone.
Accelerated healing: It's not instantaneous.
She is not immune to outside toxins, poisons and what not.
Viscid is extremely shy and somewhat naive which makes her an easy target for getting conned into a situation. She is also easily hurt by being made fun of and her reactions may vary from tears to violence.
History:
Sarah Winston was born a sickly child. She spent the first seven months of her life in the ICU of the pediatrics unit at one of New Yorks finest hospitals. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with the little girl. Finally, she had been able to go home with her parents when she became stable. Her parents worried because she was always ill, hardly ate anything, and very rarely made a noise. Her parents would take shifts staying up with her at night to make sure she didn't pass on in her sleep. It was never discovered what was actually wrong with her. As she got older she didn't physically develop as other children and remained small for her age. She was still quiet, not really speaking, but it was proven she wasn't deaf since she'd look when she heard noises. Her motor skills developed as they should, but she still remained fairly weak. The young one was never allowed to attend school, due to the fact that she got exhausted easily and her parents didn't want to put her under the emotional strain of bullies. She was sequestered from the rest of the world with just her mom, dad, and nurse for company.
When she was ten years old, her nurse told her father about a risky procedure, that could very well save their daughters life. She had started to fade and her death was just over the horizon. The doctors had only given her a few more months to live. So, out of desperation her parents consented and she was put under the dangerous procedure. They had been led to believe that their daughter would just get healthy and maybe have a few enhanced senses. They had been lied to and something went horribly wrong. In order to give her what she needed, the doctor had spliced her DNA with that of a salamander. Siting the regenerative properties as those that would save her. Well, they did, but she was mutated in the process. Sarah went in a normal looking human and came out as some messed up hybrid of human and lizard. Her hair had turned black, she was originally blond, her skin turned a burnt orange, he eyes became reptilian, her tongue forked, and she had a tail and talons. However, the girl was now healthy, but she had become an abomination. No longer seeing her as their child her parents dropped her off in the worst part of New York and left her there. She was still only ten years old.
Sarah has spent the last seven years living on the streets and in the shadows of New York. She's learned to fend for herself and she's taken to saving those who couldn't save themselves, always within shadows. Thanks to her talent to mimic she'd learned how to fight, somewhat, and dance. Thanks to her need and resourcefulness she's learned to cook and make something out of nothing. She's been alone for the last seven years and has no one she can call friend. She hasn't grown overly much, having topped off at barely five feet tall and just barely over one hundred pounds. But her body is strong and she is no longer sickly. That was the only good thing that had happened, though there are nights she cries herself to sleep and wished her parents had just let her die. Recently a man by the name of Pete Wisdom stumbled across the young girl and brought her to the safety of Xavier's Institute. Now she is struggling to get over her fears, though she spends most of the daylight hours in her room. At night, she creeps the shadows as she learns the school.
RP Sample:
The shadows were her home. The young splicer was clinging to the side of wall, just under the edge of a roof as she looked down in the alley way below her. Her head tilted from side to side as she watched the scene unfold beneath her. Her face took on the look of one trying to figure something out. She couldn't fathom why people would harm others, just because they could. It never made sense to her. Silently she crawled down the wall as she made sure she stuck to the shadows, and got closer to the two men holding up the young couple. The two victims were about her age and they had just wanted a nice night out, she could tell that much. Reptilian eyes blinked as she made her way to the ground. The two men had knives, not even guns, and she had to respect the male victims want to keep the female safe. Well this was going to be easy enough. She slid off both of her gloves and touched the two thugs on the back of the neck. They dropped like a bag of rocks as the paralysis took effect. Then she leaped and scrambled up the wall once more as the couple tried to figure out what had just happened.
Sarah made her way up to the roof she was sleeping on and crawled into her bed. Her arms wrapped around an old teddy bear as she curled herself around it. Seeing the couple made her heart ache something fierce. As she closed her eyes, two tears leaked out and slid down her cheeks.
