Element of Fire
APPEARANCE
Dahlia is a petite girl who stands 5’3” and weighs 105 lbs. Her diet and exercise keeps her lithe, despite her addiction to sweets. She has long silver hair that comes to her shoulders, golden eyes, and pale skin that’s smooth to the touch. Thick rimmed glasses sit on her face, although they are mainly for show. Her school clothes are her private school uniform consisting of a white blouse, a red blazer with black trim, and a long black skirt that reaches her shoes.
PERSONALITY
MAIN ABILITY: Element of Fire - Her main attack is her fire element. She has two ways of utilizing this ability. First is creating orbs of flames and flinging them at her opponent. The other is superheating her weapon (a bat).
SECOND HAND ABILITIES: Weapon Summoning – she can materialize her trusted metal bat by reaching into a portal she places on any flat surface.
Quiet, poised, and polite are the qualities Dahlia encapsulates. Whenever she interacts with others, she always shows a kind, yet otherworldly smile that would fit on a porcelain doll than a human being. Her demeanor gives most who don’t know her a sense of safety to some, and a potential pushover to others. She isn’t quick to anger, yet once something pushes her over the edge, she changes for the worse.
When her façade cracks, her other personality takes control. Sadistic. Brutal. Ruthless. Psychotic. Her once calm, almost doll-like demeanor does a 180 as she’s fully expressive with her emotions to the point it doesn’t even seem human-like. Explosive laughter at inopportune times while she showers her foes in fire or a flurry of strikes from her bat she has kept with her since her middle school days.
In all things, she likes be in control, or to maintain that illusion of being so. Her personality switch is a repercussion of losing that illusion. And once she feels that control has been reestablished, she returns to her pre-psychotic state as if nothing happened.
She also has a sweet tooth, and is always found in some candy store or pastry shop to try out a new treat. She spends most of her alone time taking care of her pet python or practicing her violin, activities that stabilize her mental state.

HISTORY
In her early years, Dahlia grew up in a positive environment. Being the daughter of a genius scholar and a top lawyer, high expectations on her future fell upon her shoulders. Yet deep inside, she could feel as if something felt off, like she was detached from others. Unlike most kids her age, she never showed much emotion. Smiling, crying, and laughing were foreign to her. Yet she always was the ever obedient child. She did everything that was asked of her, no questions asked.
With her being a child of a Subhuman mother and a human father, they tested her and found to have an infinitesimal chance of ever developing powers. They thought it best to let her live a normal human life. They enrolled her into private school and pushed her to make friends, yet the kids in her class found her mannerisms strange. In time, the teachers and fellow students dubbed her “Living Doll” as her appearance back then was akin to one. As time passed, she had always placed first in any and all academic achievements. Every accomplishment she achieved made her parents proud.
This way of life changed once she entered middle school when she found herself on the receiving end of a bully campaign by the popular girls. Their jealousy of Dahlia’s “Miss Perfect” image caused them to harass her nearly every waking moment between the walls of the school. However Dahlia remained stoic in her persecution while others watched from afar, never lifting a finger. That was until she met someone special, a girl that stepped into stop the bullying for some time. It was then she made her first friend. And through her, she began to feel something inside stirring. The barren wasteland of her emotions soon bore fruit, she felt happy, but she could never show it. She could never smile.
The bullying continued, but it never fazed her. As long as she had her friend who understood her, she could face anything. But it all came crashing down one afternoon when she was brought out to a secluded area of school. There, she found her friend held captive by several boys who were the popular girl’s lackeys. She watched as they groped her, forcing Dahlia to do humiliating things just to appease their ego and to see her face warp into embarrassment or even fear. Yet it never happened. They eventually went to their trump card, making the boys force themselves onto Dahlia’s friend. The crying screams from her friend cause the once emotionless girl to snap.
The events that took place moments later were unspeakable. At the scene of the assault, authorities found one girl with ripped clothes huddled in a corner, eight casualties - three boys and five girls – passed out on the ground with broken bones and second degree burns on their limbs. Dahlia stood motionless with a flaming metal bat and a vacant stare. Tears streamed down her face. But the thing they found the most disturbing was with a wide smile, chuckling.
She didn’t resist when they took her to the station, and her parents were alerted of the situation. She was tested once more and found to have manifested her powers, while also being diagnosed with Schizophrenia. In her trial, her friend defended her actions, citing what transpired between the 5 girls and Dahlia over the five months and the events of that day. She was found guilty of assault in the 2nd degree, and due to her special circumstances, she was to be sent to a mental facility catered to Subhumans for five years for treatment.
She was able to complete treatment in two years, and was released with supervision of a Subhuman detective to watch over her as she was sent to Shunojiski for her schooling.
