Lee Sherwood, daughter of Hermes

Name: Lee Pácansihuta (Sparrow) Sherwood

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Eyes: Dark, dark brown. Most people think they are black.

Hair: Black and straight, cut in a chaotic way over her shoulders.

Height: 1m64

Body Type: Lean, scrawny, with very, very small curves.

Skin Color: Brown. She's Amerindian (Lakota tribe).

God Parent: Hermes

Mortal Parent: Vivian Sherwood

Country of Origin: USA, but she was born in Ireland.

Pets: None

Talents: Thieving (picking locks or taking something from people's pockets without them realizing it), running, climbing. She's very good at informatics and technology techniques. Lee is also very good at hiding and blending into the background, she has sharp dexterity and stealth capacities, is very good at keeping her balance, which makes her agile above-average. In addition, she has great reflexes.

Weapon**:
→ She owns six folding knives which she hides in her clothing, all six turning into a Swiss knife, and a dagger for training and Capture the Flag. All celestial bronze, with carbon fiber handles and holes in them to make them lighter.
→ She also has two throwing discuses, both made out of light Fiberglass with razor sharp celestial bronze edges. They turn into bracelets.

Personality: The real prankster. Malicious and tricky, she lets one think of a mischievous pixie with her eternal smirk, upturned eyebrows and sparkling gaze that makes you immediately feel your pockets to check everything is still there. She's misbehaving, very playful, fun-loving, adventurous and curious about everything, which makes her quite... invading.
She is cunning and shrewd, but careless about a lot of important things. Cautious, imaginative and creative when it comes to planning pranks, she doesn't work a lot in school; she's daring and doesn't hesitate to defy authority or break the rules: being always excited and full of ADHD, she makes one think of an energy ball about to explode. Her humour is tainted by a lot of sarcasm and irony; she's carefree, taking life as one big joke, which drives her to be a rebel and constantly test her limits.

Flaws: She doesn't know when to stop, she's kind of addicted to her phone, she's very stubborn. Lee is also a kleptomaniac. She lacks in responsibility and maturity. As for her physical appearance, she has too pronounced cheekbones.

Abilities: She can sense locks or other security devices in a perimeter of five meters.
She can communicate with snakes since they are among Hermes's sacred animals.
She can detect and think herself into radio frequencies used to communicate. This means: she can listen to phonecalls or know what a text contains if the person calling/texting is at less than ten meters from her, she can patch herself into different signals, and access the internet in her mind. When she closes her eyes and wills to interface with radio waves or the Internet, it's as if a screen had appeared behind her eyelids. (Please do not copy that one!) (Approved by Tom via Skype.)

Powers(must relate to god parent; optional):
∆ Thieving: She can open/deactivate a security device by touching it. On a scale of one to twelve where one is the simple padlock you use for school lockers and twelve is the super sophisticated device used to protect nuclear weapons, the maximum she could deactivate would be of seven, a well-guarded bank vault, but that's the absolute maximum, meaning unless she gets nectar or ambrosia afterwards, she passes out a couple of moments later.
Four times a day, 30 minutes cool down.
∆ Speed: She can accelerate her speed critically to where she can run about ten meters in two seconds. The limits of this is that it's not like time slows down, the time is exactly the same for her like for others when she uses her power, which makes it not very easy to maneuver at all. She can use this to run or to fight, or anything that requires top speed. What she often does are series of quick movements. Run five meters in a second, then another five meters, and so on. These series normally consist of five speed accelerations.
Two series per day, six individual times a day, twenty minutes cool down. (Please do not copy that one the way I presented it! You can try different aspects of speed.) (Approved by Tom via Skype)

Life Before CHB*: Lee was born in Ireland, the land of pixies and leprechauns, which quite suits her personality. Her mother had been on trip there, since her work involved a lot of traveling, and had given birth to Lee in Dublin. Since Vivian Sherwood traveled most of the time and deemed it was not a condition to raise her baby daughter, she decided to settle down in South Dakota, in the rez where the majority of her family was staying at. Lee lived the first years of her life there with her mother before she took up her job again, and the little girl moved to one of her aunt's, her mother coming back once every week to check on her before departing the next day or two days later. She was sent to primary school, then to a boarding school, when she was nine. In that boarding school, an Afro-American boy called Darnell befriended her. Darnell was twelve (in fact, twenty-four because he's a satyr), and recognized her as a demigod a couple of months after they met (since her smell wasn't very strong due to her young age). He brought her to Camp the next summer. Very early, Lee developed kleptomania and a love for speed and heights. Having dyslexia and ADHD, she did not really have the best marks, and quite honestly, she didn't care. She often skipped lessons in order to climb onto the roof of the school, run off into the surrounding wild, played pranks on the teacher, picked locks and doors, stole items from her fellow classmates, which of course resulted in uncountable detentions. The only lesson she was good at was running, she ran faster than any of her classmates and had skyrocketing marks in sports.
Her powers manifested slowly. It started by having a light buzz in the head whenever she was near locks, safety devices, a phone or a computer (rare). The buzz spread later on to her ears and ribcage and became a bit deeper until it disappeared when she was ten, replaced by a sudden awareness. Her speed power started manifesting when she got to Camp at age ten. First, she could only move scarcely more than a meter with her super speed, but it escalated when puberty came knocking at the door. Being later on surrounded by phones and computers, it became much easier to patch herself into the radio waves and interface with them.

RP Example*: The warm early summer wind was playing in Lee's short hair, messing it up even more than it already was. Her fingers were sweaty, but didn't slip as she held on tightly to the corner of the window, extending her other hand to the emergency ladder on the side of the building. She was standing upright on her  toes, on a thin window sill, twelve meters above ground level when she should have been sitting in English lesson with Mrs Dewitt, that booooring teacher. It had been quite easy to sneak away to the dorm building, which was adjacent to the lessons one, and as Lee looked down to the ground to get another adrenaline rush, she really did not regret to have broken the rules yet another time.  

"Are you sure we won't get caught?" Darnell asked, following her with agility even though he was exempt from sport -- some weird chronic illness stuff.

"Who cares?" Lee retorted. "Would you rather be in class with Lady Boredom?"

Darnell mumbled something the wind masked, but Lee had reached the ladder and was now climbing up, fast and stealthy. In a matter of moments, she had reached the top of the slightly inclined roof and was walking up the old grey-brown tiles. From here, she had a fantastic view over the panoramic landscape she knew by heart. The plain to the right, the curves of the two hills straight ahead, half-eaten by a forest that spread to the left, and the small town encompassing the perimeter around the school. She breathed the fresh, vivid wind in; the air felt so alive on her tongue....

Darnell came up to her, panting a bit.

"Whew. Nice view," he breathed.

"This is my world," Lee grinned.

"I should take a picture," he said, putting a hand in his pocket. "Wait a sec... whoa, where's my phone?!" he suddenly exclaimed, looking around him and frenetically checking his pockets.

Lee laughed mischievously and fished it out of her pocket. "Calm down, mate."

"Dude, Lee!" Darnell warned. "When did you...?"

"During our climb, before I managed to get in front of you. It was looking out of your pocket so invitingly..."



Any notes about your characters:

Distinctive physical feature: an animated tattoo that follows her spine (like this). It's a subcutaneous display and its movements and pulsations are powered by blood sugar.

This is just out of my own curiosity. She has the power to unlock any secure device by touching it. So if she wanted to hack into the Pentagon or steal the Declaration of Independence, could she do it?

Not to be rude. But she said in her Sheet that she could only do a well-guarded bank a 7 which that Pentagon or DOI would be 12.

No. She could not xD she can open a well guarded bank vault, but not a maniacally guarded bank vault protected by nineteen snipers, three bulldogs, laser rays, automatically shooting and a Justin Bieber CD on constant replay ;)

Yep, that Justin Bieber CD would be the thing to get you caught.  

Don't post on other people's forms, John. And yes, I know. I was asking out of personal curiosity and a love for the movie National Treasure

Approved.
