Face Claim: Rachel McAdams
Appearance:
Pandora stands at 5'7 fairly tall. She's not the tallest person but neither is she short. A lot of the people would consider her height as normal, sometimes even short. She has a slim figure, a woman's curves and rather pale skin. Although she hates the condition her skin stays, it never changes, no matter how hard she tries. Tanning works for a few minutes until she is fully recovered from the sun burnt tan when out at the beach. Her healing powers keep her from getting a darker skin tone. Her body figure is kept slender, however she works out every day at the Gym (or out for a run) to keep herself in shape and prepared for drunken men down the alley-ways. She's the type of girl who can eat a ton, gaining pounds but never looking it. She has a massive appetite and follows through with anything related to junk food. Pandora may work out every day but her usual routine is to eat off from a restaurant near-by once a week.

Pandora's hair is dark brown (sometimes dyed blond or dark red depending on her mood), always pushed back slickly in a chic manner or laid flat against her neck. But if she's having feminine difficulties (which comes by once every month) she tends to keep her hair straight and pulled back into a ponytail. Her hair is not floppy straight, it has slight definition to it, a little wavy when wet but rarely curly. It's not too long, the shortest cut she has ever had yet is till her collarbone. She hates to put her hair down on hot days, so she keeps it in a ponytail through summer days. As for her eyes, they're not special. A little large, almond shaped and grey-green in color. Her eyelashes are barely visible. She likes to put on eyeliner everyday and a dab of light blue eye shadow. Pandora has a prominent chin, her nose is a little crooked (after falling head-first and crashing into a pole) but her healing powers did the best. Although if you focus enough you can see the damage caused.

She has a large smile partly because of her 'sonic scream'. As a child she would scream a lot and apparently enlarged her mouth a little (strange, isn't it?). She loves her teeth though, the center of attention. White enough as they are and kept perfect in shape. Some people do get annoyed a little, with her smiling rather too much. Pandora doesn't mind though, it's just how her personality goes.

Due to the money access, she's a complete, t-shirt shopping, spoiled brat. She can be out all day, skipping school to shop for the new Puma shoes she would have discovered, or the in-fashion branded tee shirt in stores, or maybe even the pair of shorts and jersey's displaying an athlete's name for everyone to see. If she's off mood and doesn't give a crap about anyone just because she feels like a left-over, she would throw on an old sweat shirt and a pair of jeans with muddied, untied shoes. If she's content throughout the day, she'll wear her favorite pair of Puma shoes, sunglasses, tight jeans and a long tee reaching down low till her knees. Recently, after getting a job as Janitor at her previous school, her clothing habits have changed. She loves wearing pull-overs and skinny jeans and throwing on a baseball cap once in a while. She actually loves doing her job in her Janitor clothes. They're just that damn comfortable.

Personal History
Born in London, Ontario 1980, June the third. Her father was a secret mutant himself at the time. His wife, his son and his new-born child had kept themselves quiet. Although it was rather had to do with their new-born daughter shrieking like they've never seen anyone shriek before. It was a sign. Another child with strange powers. The first one was born with the ability of flight. The parents had no reason to fuss over their daughters health, as it would always be...healthy. Too healthy, however. She never got sick and when hurt the injury would disappear in the moment. The family had learned of a new place by the name of 'Blackbriar'. It was almost a miracle they had encountered. A place where they could live a happy and peaceful life. A place of their own.

She was barely five when the United States declared Blackbriar to be a success and had had given the mutants equal rights; the problem seemed to be over for the moment. At age five, Pandora had learned to control her sonic scream and rarely used it. She claimed it as a 'freak power'. She hated it inwardly but outwardly couldn't show her resentment to an ability most people didn't and couldn't have. A talent that was only to be used in severe occasions; there was a time when a drunken man had swayed down an alleyway, spotting Pandora taking out the trash. Screwed in the head, he tried to hurt her and then eventually fainted, waking up the next day to realize he was tone deaf.

Discrimination was evident in 1990, as a committee was formed to exterminate mutants. Pandora's family was safe for the time being in Blackbriar and her father joined the protest in Washington. He was scarcely hurt when the Civil War was imminent and came back alive to his family. Angry as he always was, Dora's father was a huge believer in Stones' actions. He raised his children to support the mutants through war. At the age of ten, Dora was deeply engrossed and interested in her powers. Often she would ask her father to help her practice, which he did with surprising force. He was like a Coach himself for his children.

At school Dora was the clumsy child, the girl who was behind on all her classes and rarely paused to learn. She hated learning. She believed that she had mastered her powers enough to survive through war and life. She wasn't a daredevil, very cautious of everyone around her and suspicious of all the students. Who knew what student could read another's mind? Who knew what student could hypnotize one another? She pretended to be happy at school but kept her friends at a far distance. She did not trust any boy or girl. She stuck close to her brother at all times, who was a popular kid on his own accord; smart, handsome and athletic. And Dora was never jealous. Right? She believed so herself but sulked all the more when her brother made new friends.

Her father was already a rich man and she decided, at the end of her passing school year that she was to become a janitor. Though she remained suspicious of every boy and girl at school, she could not help but feel safe and peaceful. With her bubbly personality and through her family's astonishment she was made a janitor at the Blackbriar University.

Personality:
Pandora tries her best to be optimistic, however, it isn't always possible. She makes jokes constantly, even when the subject doesn't call for it. For example Math... but usually about her clumsiness. She doesn't fear the opportunity to talk to anyone (ever since she was made a janitor), even the quiet kids who choose to sit in the corner or the girls that are labeled 'out of your league', but that doesn't mean that she likes everyone either. You never know until you try. Classified as a character, she often over exaggerates her stories.

She has a bad habit of not finishing her last sentences, or when she does, inserts descriptions that don't have anything to do with what she was talking about but more about her surroundings. When fiddling around with things and springs and bits happen to get away from her, you will often hear her squeak an 'Arrrh! Oh no!'. She's a very happy person most of the time and wouldn't hurt a fly.

Dora also has a varied personality, depending on both mood and situation. Whilst she is never really aggressive, she can be quite persistent when it comes to getting the things she wants. Of course, she goes about it in an entirely different fashion to someone more forceful, instead slowly working her way towards the things she wishes she could obtain. First impressions will differ. If she is irritated at the time, perhaps she will come across as arrogant, but ordinarily she has an air of grace and charm.

Fears:
[x] Immortality
[x] Intimidating men
[x] To be hurt over and over again and not die
[x] Heights

Strengths:
She is able to make friends easily but never tries to. Her cautious personality does help her through tight spots. She loves being a janitor and works quite efficiently at the Blackbriar University. She is good at healing, not only herself but tending to other people as well. She's very good at running and playing sports.
Weaknesses:
She has trouble remembering where she places her hat or paperwork. Never trust her when it comes to things of that nature. It's also never a safe bet to have her brew a chemical reaction of any kind. They often have a way of exploding at odd times. Finishing sentences could also use some....
