Distinguishing Marks: N/A
Appearance:
Skei is a cute little girl. Resting atop her thin face, is her curly hair, that in which is somewhat frizzy. Occasionally, she'll put it up in pigtails. The only thing that never changes about her hair is the twisted braid on the right side of her face. She always has that in, though, unless she is showering of course. Her slim eyebrows are the same color as her hair, though luckily, aren't curly in any way. Her eyes are large and are a deep brown, yet her lashes are not very long or full at all. Her nose is curved and her lips are pulled into a faint, natural smile. She has a petite figure, and only stands at about 4'10" and weighs 85 lbs. As for clothing, Skei likes to dress up and look and feel nice. She likes to wear skirts and dresses, along with some ballet flats. Although, if she had to decide, Skei would prefer to not wear tights. She feels as though she can't really move around in them or that they look nice. Even so, Skei is willing to wear them if she had too, as well as a T-shirt and jeans (not at the same though).

Likes:
- Drawing -- Skei is actually quite good, though she doesn't think of herself as an artist. Even so, she loves to draw and paint, and especially watercolor. Oh, and let's not forget about finger painting preschool style!
- Origami -- For some reason, Skei has always admired the Japanese culture. Though Origami would have to be her favorite thing about Japan, well, you know, besides the food. Still, Skei is able to make practically anything, some things in which she has invented herself.
- Dresses -- Skei loves to dress up and look nice. When she went to school, she would wear things as if she were going to a wedding. Yet, she would rather wear bright colors over dark, though blue is most preferred.
- Music -- Due to her powers and abilities, Skei cannot play an instrument. Though she has always been fascinated with the Cello. It's fine wood and deep sound, it was all so beautiful.
- Milk -- Skei loves to drink milk. If she had to choose between soda or milk, it would be milk. For some reason, she has just enjoyed it all her life, sort of like a miniature addiction. When she's sad it calms her down, as well as when she's angry.
Dislikes:
- Her Power -- Skei feels as though her abilities just cause destruction and harm, to others and herself. She can't do a lot of things, which can be a problem depending on the situation. Still, Skei just wishes that she could be an ordinary human, or at least have a power that wasn't so destructive.
- Dishonesty -- This little girl is big on lying. If anyone ever tries to trick or deceive her, and she finds out...yikes. Skei also doesn't lie. Ever. If you asked her what you were getting for Christmas, she'd flat out tell you.
- Criminals -- She hates them with a passion. They are the only reason she actually uses her powers, because she wants to help save others. When she sees one, she can't help but get a little...furious, even if they are in prison.
- Being called "Little" -- Yes, she's short for her age. Tell it to her face and she'll wreck yours. She's insecure enough as it is, so don't add on to it by telling her she's too little to do what she does.
- Cold Weather -- Skei prefers the warm sun in her face, the flowers blooming, the ripe fruit on the trees falling. Spring and Summer are her favorite season, casting out Fall and Winter. Besides, she can't wear her dresses in Colder Weather.
Personality:
Skei is a gentle, sweet little girl. She loves to make others smile and help those in need. Whenever something goes wrong, she feels as though it's her duty to help and assist those who need it, whether it be her job to do so or not. She loves the springtime, when all the daises are blooming and the skies are cloudless and blue. Healthy eating is also a big thing for Skei. She tries to eat lots of fruits and vegetables often and makes sure stays away from sweets. Drawing is a favorite hobby of hers, as well as Origami. For some strange reason, Skei is just fascinated with Japan. She sometimes will wear things like Kimono's around the town, though that is a rare, because she is insecure and is worried that people will judge her.
Skei has a flaring temper. It could be set off by the slightest thing and she has barely any control over what she does during her anger tantrums. She also can be a bit moody. One moment, she will be as happy and joyful as ever, then someone will make a rude comment, and she will go off and cry, her previous mood completely abandoned. Skei also can be quite stubborn. If she wants something, she gets it. And if she doesn't retrieve her desired item or wish, well...things get messy.
"With great power comes great responsibility"
Powers:
Skei only has one ability, but it is extremely powerful. She can blast fire from her left hand, as if it were a flame-thrower. As the fire nears her hand, it takes the shape of her fingers and palms, but as it gets farther away, it gets more wispy and uncontrollable. Due to the fact that it only comes out of her left hand when her palm is completely spread, she has to keep her left hand clenched at all times, though she usually just keeps it in a pocket. The flames can span out to over 100 yards, depending on how focused Skei is. Luckily, she flames don't affect her in any way, even if she put her other hand in front of it. Though that's only with her fire. Other fire would most definitely burn her.
Weapons: N/A
Strengths/Abilities:
- Gentle -- Skei is very gentle. She knew how to hold babies before she even picked one up, and she can calm anyone down just by talking.
- Curious -- Skei loves to explore new places and try new things. If she hasn't done it or seen it before, she will be more than eager to give it a spin.
- Caring -- Her uncle calls her "Care Bear" because she is so generous and kind to others. She is just a genuinely good person, and loves to help those around her. When she makes someone smile, she can't help but do the same.
- Honest -- She actually may be a little too honest, but we can ignore that for now. Anyway, Skei is a very honest girl. If you ask her something, she will tell you the answer no matter what. If she did something wrong, she will go immediately to her uncle and ask for his forgiveness.
- Hopeful -- Hope is all Skei has had her whole life, and, coincidentally, it's her middle name. She says her prayers every night and avoids bad luck, just to boost up her hope for the day to go right.
Weaknesses:
- Hot-headed -- Skei has a tendency to get a little...angry. And when she's angry you don't really want to be around her. She could get mad at the simplest of things too, like a spilled drink or a lost item.
- Stubborn -- When she wants something, she'll get it. Let's say, Skei wanted to go to stay longer at an amusement park, she would sit in the girl's bathroom until her uncle had to ask a female employee to get her out.
- Shy -- Skei doesn't talk very often, or very loudly for that matter. The only people she really communicates full-out with are her brother and uncle. If you really want a conversation with her, you're gonna need to get to know her a bit better.
- Gullible -- This kid will fall for the classic banana peel on the sidewalk if you tried it. Just be careful with the tricks you pull on her, because she may get a little angry if they are too extreme.
- Temperamental -- Skei has a tendency to flop around with her moods. She could be extremely happy one moment, then the next, bawling her eyes out. Of course, she does have to have a reason, it's not like it's at random.

History:
Skei loved her parents. They were so kind and caring and tried their hardest to spend as much time with their kids as possible. They weren't a very wealthy family, though they were happy all the same. Although, when Skei was at the mere age of 6, her parents were shot in a bank robbery. She and her brother, Alexander, had been visiting their uncle at the time, so they didn't know until they got a phone call from the police later that evening. Devastated and furious, Skei went on a rampage. She ripped things apart, knocked things over, and practically destroyed her uncle's home. She never did open up her left hand during all this, so she didn't figure out her power that night. Even so, she was rushed to the therapy the next day.
4 years after her parents' death, Skei discovered her abilities. She was in therapy and her therapist asked her to close her eyes and take deep breaths, and let out all her anger without moving or talking, just thinking. Unfortunately, that was exactly how Skei's powers were triggered. She rose to her feet, and opened her left hand. Without even realizing it, she blasted a swirl of flames right out the already open window. She barely missed the therapist, who was calling her uncle and the cops just as it was happening. Skei was sent to the hospital, and had a series of tests run. The results of the tests were shocking for everyone, even for Skei. They had no cure for her condition, and no idea how it came to be. So, they sent her home.
Not even a week after the hospital visit, the FBI arrived to the Jones/Mello household. They wanted to use Skei as a weapon for war. The whole family was against the plan, but the government wouldn't take no for an answer. So, they took her with them to the airport. Although, at the airport, the ran into Skei's therapist. He had known that they would arrive and want to take her, and he tried convincing the FBI agents that Gotham needed her. After a long discussion, they were agreed to let Skei stay, that is, under one condition. That she fight against the criminals and villains in Gotham and that she learn to control her anger and power. If not, they would take her. Skei agreed, and was sent home to her now happy brother and uncle.
Ever since, Skei and her uncle have been traveling all over the world, so that she may use and practice her powers so she can learn to control it better. Alexander has left for college in Italy, though they visit him from time to time. The Government keeps a close eye on her, just in case she slips up or doesn't fulfill their bargain.

Writing Sample:
Sitting on the cold sand, Skei looked over to where her uncle was parked. He was eating the subway sandwich they picked up before they came, unaware of her eyes on him. She smiled, and focused her gaze out to the rippling ocean. The water wasn't very pretty, it was grey and had bottle and other litter scattered across it. Even so, the sound of the waves crashing against the beach was like a sweet lullaby. Still smiling, Skei crossed her legs, and spread out her bright blue skirt so that it made a big circle all around her. It seemed as though she were the only true color in the whole area. The sky was grey and cloudy, as well as the murky ocean water. The tree's leaves were brown and crumbled, for it was autumn, and winter was on the way. Even the car Skei's uncle, David, sat in was dull. It was completely black, with a few stickers colorless stickers on the bumper. Skei though, was wearing a bright blue dress. The skirt part of the dress went down to her knees, and expanded out faintly. The sleeves were simple thick straps that were the same color as the rest of the dress. To keep her warm, she wore a bright yellow raincoat that had cheetah print fur on the inside. She definitely stuck out in this scene.
After a few minutes, Skei began thinking of her parents. Gradually, the anger inside her built, and she began breathing heavily and more rapidly. Glaring across the open waters, Skei felt as though she could burn everything to the ground, including those she loved. She imagined the world in flames and her on top, smiling ever so slightly. Suddenly, she felt her uncle's arms around her. She shook her head. She was still sitting on the beach in the same position she had been in, but tears were streaming down her face, in which she hadn't even realized until then. Closing her eyes, Skei spun around and hugged her uncle back.
"I miss them." She sobbed.
"I know." He replied, his voice steady. "I know..."
"I'm through talking, get out of my cave,"
