Comme c'est riche! Comme c'est divin! Comme c'est merveilleux! Une phrase simple, une simple s'exclamant de la vérité comme Brett l'a vu, et comment rincé vers le haut on obtient. Il est clair qu'un nerf a été frappé. De toute évidence, la fille avec le casque avait autant d'intelligence qu'elle avait le sens de la mode. Ce qui est à dire, aucun du tout. Un sweat-shirt à capuche blanc? Des Jeans? C'était quoi, le côté sournois du Bronx? Cette ennuie avait été l'une des personnes impliquées dans les activités loser-ish. Les puns étaient assez mauvais, et ce n'était pas comme si ces sortilèges tiraient des jeux de mots au niveau de The Bard, pas un super - Shakespeare.
Déploiement. C'était ça. Brett n'a certainement pas été intimidée, pas par quelqu'un qui ressemblait à elle appartenait dans un infomercial pour l'angoisse adolescente et comment l'empêcher. Ça n'a pas aidé les choses que le bruit de ses écouteurs était à peu près aussi agréable que son attitude. Ailleurs dans ce que Brett supposait être une sorte de cabine, quelqu'un exprimait la faim et un autre faisait un travail de bang-up à être un médiateur. De plus en plus il semblait que son évaluation précoce d'être entourée de perdants venait à la lumière.
"Oh, vous devez être la Reine des Losers, alors?" Brett a parlé avec un ringard derrière ses mots. Même sa façon de parler semblait parfaitement alignée sur l'ennui ou la tisane, il avait un ton hautain à lui qui était des parties égales 'rich brat' et 'classic-era Hollywood actrice'. "Comme c'est précieux. Vous n'êtes à la hauteur que de votre titre alors, Loser, avec la facilité avec laquelle vous vous énervez. Courez, petit Loser, je suis sûr que votre cercle de réprouvés peut continuer leur discussion sur les choses destinées aux bébés et aux nerds - désolés, les losers - qui ne peuvent pas grandir, mais le faire en silence. »
Bret agita le dos de sa main vers la reine Loser comme si elle licenciait une servante qui se plaignait de la réduction de leur salaire. Bien sûr, c'est à ce moment-là que deux autres se sont pointés, cherchant à couper... peu importe ce que c'était dans le bourgeon. Et à cela, Brett n'avait aucun problème à rire carrément, une paume devant sa bouche et un rire très malhonnête et moqueur c'était.
"Vous devez être le roi et la princesse alors, oui? C'est adorable. Oh, oui, je suis celui qui se fait un cul de moi-même, quand c'est la reine Loser ici volant de la poignée sur des mots simples. Emmenez-la, vous deux, elle ne sert qu'à s'embarrasser et je suis presque désolé pour elle. De la même façon qu'un membre de PETA se sent désolé pour un animal en cage dans le zoo. Courez maintenant, avant que les gens commencent à supposer que je suis en ligue avec vous."
Brett, qui n'est pas prêt à laisser assez tranquille, regarde une fois de plus vers 'Queen Loser' et les sourires.
"Et au fait, baissez cette horrible merde, n'est-ce pas? Certains d'entre nous n'apprécient pas les bruits d'ordures dans nos oreilles."
Real Name: Brett Faulkner
Superhero Alias: Prima Donna
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: Ah, Brett, always on the cutting edge of each new trend, every school has that person who fancies themselves a bit of a runway model, always wearing designer clothing and generally wanting to capture the attention of a room. Brett, even when wearing casual clothing, does so to make a fashion statement above anything else. At just under six feet, Brett is tall and with a slender build; her hair is a striking platinum blonde that, in certain light, almost appears to be white in color. Her eyes, a deep green, are expressive, befitting one with a penchant for the theatrical.
Power Set: Sonokinesis
-Brett can, using her own voice, create and manipulate sound waves via the medium of song. She cannot manipulate sound from any other source other than her own voice and as of yet she has not found a way to tap into her power by any other method than song. At present, her sonokinetic abilities allow her to 'sing' out physical bolts and blasts of sound that sharply effect the eardrums; these manifest in the shape of circular rings that expand or contract depending on the note being sung. She can let loose a continued stream of sound in a sort of razor-sound wind that lasts for as long as she can hold a note; the sound waves used in this attack appear to be sharp, razor-like vibration blades and have the same feeling when they connect. Further abilities are yet unknown, but sonokinesis is a very flexible thing.
-Brett can also project her voice, as in she can be in one room and be heard in a room down the hall as if she were standing in it. Her range, at present, is limited to having to be on the same floor or level of whatever room she is standing on. This doesn't mean that she can attack when projecting her voice.
-Brett has been learning to replicate voices, but as of present the most she can do is foreign accents and various celebrity impersonations. But they do sound good and are a good conversation piece.
Other Skills: Brett is a wonderful cook, or at least that's what she has been told by those she has cooked a meal for; but seeing as she wanted, or perhaps still wants, to own a fine dining restaurant perhaps it's not just simple complimentary phrases. While not especially good at more...hands on techniques, such as martial arts or melee combat, Brett is positively gifted in the art of social interaction and quick thinking since improvisation is a crucial part of any interaction with humans.
And this is less a skill and more a...quirk, but Brett can name every winner of the 'Best Musical' Tony Award and can do so by year. It's wonderful at parties with high class citizens.
Weaknesses: As her power requires her own voice, she cannot use outside sources of sound and any obstacle that impairs her vocal ability, be it a sore throat or even duct tape over her mouth, will render her quite harmless, or at least far, far less effective. Brett is, to put it as nicely as possible, a bit of a diva and will thus be less likely to want to do anything too...difficult and even when she does decide to 'help out' she desires nothing more than to be the center of attention, for better or for worse, and that has and can bite her in the ass. Of course, there's an emotional weakness of a fear of loneliness and unacceptance, but that's something she buries deep down.
Personality: There's a reason why Brett's alias is 'Prima Donna' and it isn't just because of her fondness and appreciation for operas and live musical theater; it's because she's quite taken with herself and her ego and constantly parades around as if she is the queen of the castle. Sure, she's sociable, but more often than not the people she interacts with would just as rather cut her out of a conversation completely or else not bother speaking with her in the first place. Not even Brett knows if she has friends, she's never really had to question it and she's far too socially conscious to ask that out loud.
In Brett's mind, all the world's a stage and she is the lead role, whether others know this or not. As such, other people are but characters in her mind, and she's certainly not above using socially approved tactics such as persuasion, flirtation, or little white lies to get ahead. Sound is not the only thing she can manipulate.
Backstory: Brett grew up without a father, he didn't run out or leave her mother pregnant at the altar or anything, he passed away in childbirth. In that he was in a fatal accident when he was driving to the hospital to be there for the birth. The accident was a side effect of two supers having it out in public, an innocent bystander just in the wrong place at the wrong time. If Brett holds that against powereds, she hasn't said so. Her mother was not always there in the developmental years as she was on tour with various Broadway performances. Always the lead role, her mother, and it wasn't until her pre-teen years when Brett learned that her mother's power was in manipulating others with her voice; she was able to make them feel things about her, hypnotize them, provided they weren't super as well.
Brett wondered if she took after her mother. Having been involved in singing from a young age, starting with church choir and moving on to school choirs and auditions, Brett worried that she was manipulating others - this was, of course, before she found much less sinister ways of doing so. But she found out that her power was a bit more...destructive than that when, in the middle of a choir recital, she accidentally caused the stage lights to shatter when she hit her high note.
When her powers came through her mother was so pleased. They would take over the entertainment world as a mother-daughter duo. The Sound and The Fury! While Brett was also excited at the prospect, she did start to wonder what intentions, if any, her mother had. As such, she fought hard to put those motherly plans on hold in order for her to properly learn to use her ability at Herculean Academy. Mother agreed, but was disappointed at first, and Brett still thinks her mother was at some point trying to use her manipulation thing on her.
Still, Brett does think sharing the stage with her mother could be a good path, but not necessarily the one she truly wants. And isn't that one reason for schooling? To figure out what one wants to do? It is for Brett. Among other, personal, less scrupulous reasons.
