Physical Description:
Lhea wouldn't stand out in a crowd unless she put her mind to it. Possessing a nominal stature and height, she often tends towards flamboyant hairstyles,accessories and an attitude to match to get herself noticed.
Standing a mere five feet and two inches, and pushing one hundred and ten pounds, Lhea is almost the perfect picture of a pert, little redheaded nymph. Aside from her attitude that is.
Her hair is a bright, natural red, which she keeps cropped and usually kept up in spiked and unruly pigtails.
Her facial features pretty much follow the "Standard Redhead Appearance". High cheekbones, full lips and a small, upturned nose. Although if she gets too much exposure to the sun, she freckles, much to her dismay.
Her eyes however, don't match that profiling. Where they would typically be a bright green or brown, her eyes are a cold and almost dead pale green. If it were possible , they'd almost be more white than green.
History Description:
Lhea grew up in a divided home. At the age of eight, her parents divorced and her mother moved her away to live in a small town just outside of Chicago. Her mother worked part time during the day while Lhea was at school and was home when she needed her most of the time. It was a pretty average and normal childhood until about the age of thirteen, when Lhea's mother died in a car accident coming from work to pick her up at school.
After the funeral, the courts attempted to find her father to send her to live with him. Though, nearly five years had passed since she'd even heard from her father, let alone seen him and refused to live with a man she knew nothing about. Especially after hearing he had remarried and had new children to love.
The Courts having no other alternative seeing as Lhea had no other living relatives, sent her to live in a Community Child's Home in down town Chicago.
Again, life was routine, until she hit her early teens and decided that life in the Home was too chafing, shortly after her fifteenth birthday, Lhea ran away.
At first, she made her way by living at the homes of friends from school. When that started to wear, she dropped out of school and lived on the streets, stealing, begging and getting odd, under-the-table paid jobs at random. It served her well enough at the time.
After nearly two years of living off the street and the charity of others, Lhea got into a small "accident" that nearly cost her her life. Technically, it did, but there were extenuating circumstances that led her to believe she was wasting her life.
After pulling quite a few favors, Lhea landed a job washing dishes in a small dinner not 5 blocks from where she 'grew up' in the Children's Home.
The irony of this was not lost on her.
Working as a busser and dishwasher at the dinner helped her pay off most of her debts, and helped her save a little to get away from Chicago. There were too many stories about her and strange happenings that involved her for her peace of mind.
Thus, with a tidy sum saved up, she pulled another favor and transfered to another Dinner, this one, a little large, a little cleaner on the outskirts of ((Please insert name of current city, I think it's Sanfrancisco????)).
Settled in her new job, and a new flat.. however dirty and derelict. Lhea sets out to continue her "experiments".
Psychology Report:
Lhea has lived most of her life with a very strong will and Self Serving Attitude.
She does have small abandonment issues, and there for wont let any one get too close to her. That's not to say she wont get to know people or have friendships and relationships, she just never lets any one in all the way. She always keeps a small part of herself hidden away. More often than not, it's the polite and kinder part of her. Having learned on the streets that if you showed that to others, it got you beat, humiliated, or even killed.

Mutation Report:
Lhea has the power to pass her injuries, hurts and illnesses onto others around her.
She has the ability to decide WHO gets that injury , and she's even managed to control her power enough to decrease and even increase the severity of the pain and injury.
When Lhea was about seventeen, and had already well immersed herself in a violent crowd and life style, she discovered her blessing and her power.
~Lhea's Story~ (to be added at a later date please?)
First off, Lhea could only pass the injury and nothing more to a random person. Usually the person closest to her at that time.
At first, it seemed like a fluke, and it took almost a month for Lhea to work up the nerve to try experimenting... to see if what happened really did. And more importantly, if she could control it.
After her initial success, Lhea started to experiment more. Mostly by cutting herself in crowded, dark places. She found that Raves and other such underground parties were the perfect place for "mysterious injuries" to appear.
With practice, Lhea learned how to push her injuries to specific people, only within line of sight though. There were some limits to how hard she could push herself after all.
Persevering, she soon learned how to diminish how much of the injury she pushed along. As well as to increase it. If she diminished the injury, she could spread it out to two people, her max. But increasing the injury, she could only do one person. Any thing more than that usually made her pass out from the sheer amount of effort it took.
Having found her limits in that direction, Lhea turned her attention to what KIND of injuries she could pass along. The cuts she gave herself never left any scars or marks, so she decided to try bruises. It worked. Sprains, headaches, colds, the flu, hangovers, and the typical "Smokers Cough".
If she was willing to expend the energy, she found that nearly any physical ailment she got, she could push along to some one else.
The thought had occurred to her once before, that if she could push her injuries to others, perhaps she could also TAKE them from some one onto herself.
However, that was a very fleeting thought, considering she'd have to give a rats a** long enough to want help.
Passing off her injuries was quickly manifesting into an addiction. The side affects were almost pleasant to her.
When she concentrated, the area of the injury burned and tingled, more than the normal burn a cut had. She'd feel a heady rush of endorphines and adrenaline pour through her veins, often leaving her a little dizzy, light headed and disoriented for a few seconds. It also costs her precious energy, which only feeding herself could replace. The only problem was, she didn't get hungry. It was almost like pushing her pains to others took away all the pains. Including that of hunger and sleep.
She soon learned to make eating and sleeping a habit. Whether she felt she needed it or not, she made sure she got it.
As a result, Lhea does not weigh very much, and has difficulty keeping the weight on.
