Basics
Name: Ayane Aiko
Nicknames: Lavender, Lavi, Bunbun
Age: 15
Birthday: May 11th
Grade: 10th
Power:
Rabbit Shapeshifting: Ayane is able to shift into an animal at will and remain that way for up to an hour. Now, she can’t just shapeshift into any animal, no no, certainly not. She’s only able to change into a rabbit. Yes, a rabbit. When in her full rabbit form, she is about the size of a full grown, white rabbit, though a petite one. While in her rabbit form she still maintains her “human brain”as it were, meaning she still thinks the same, though she can’t talk and can only do things regular rabbits can, meaning no holding things for example. Though it makes getaways easier since she can slip through small openings now, she’s incredibly vulnerable. Rabbits aren’t exactly known for their...offensive capabilities, after all. Along with completely shifting her whole body, she can shift different parts of it at will, which is the reason she normally has rabbit ears. She likes to keep them in her human form because she can hear so much better with them. Now, since she’s a rabbit shifter, she has some added traits in her human form. Along with being able to run faster than your average human thanks to her enhanced speed, she also has enhanced hearing -when her bunny ears are out- and reflexes. Her ears are able to pick up whispers within five feet of herself, though walls and barriers impede this, of course. Her ears are also very sensitive, and because of this loud noises can actually cause her pain. If something is loud enough while her rabbit ears are out it can even make her temporarily deaf because of the audio overload on her eardrums. Her flight or fight response is heightened as well, though for now it should really just be called her flight response seeing as she tries to avoid conflict. Helping her with that goal, is her ability to sense predators. It's not unlike being able to sense danger, though in this case instead of sensing impending danger like getting attacked with something, it allows her to sense how dangerous someone is. For example, say a powerful gifted around her was angry over something. She would be able to sense them because her subconscious recognizes them as a potential threat to herself. Predator sensing only applies to other people and/or animals, seeing as inanimate objects can't exactly be counted as predators.
Vocal creation: Lavender has the uncanny ability to speak things into existence. Now, this doesn’t include commands over people, powers, events events or even food. Nothing like that. Instead, she’s only able to call up inanimate objects for now. Even then, she can only hold that object in the real world as it were, for five minutes at maximum. She has to be able to picture the thing she wants to speak in her mind and concentrate on that image, or else the thing she’s trying to speak will either come out wrong, or just not come out at all. For example, if she wants to speak a butter knife, she must picture the butter knife in its entirety and if it was right in front of her instead of only in her mind. If it works, the butter knife appear in front of her as a physical object that she can then use and command -as in making it fly through the air or simply spreading butter on her toast- for five minutes. The more familiar she is with an object, the stronger it will be in the real world. However for more complicated objects, such as weapons, she must be very specific. If she simply says “shield” instead of let’s say “metal shield,” then a shield will appear, but it might come out to be plastic or wood instead of a metal. On top of this, bigger and more complicated objects take up more and more energy for every level of increased complexity. This is why she’s unable to speak animals, because to create a living thing, even for five minutes, takes an extreme amount of energy. Even if she eventually becomes strong enough to speak creatures, she will most likely blackout or faint as soon as those five minutes are up or even before, leaving her completely vulnerable. If she does lose consciousness though, her spoken objects will not fade, but will continue to exist for those five minutes, though not be able to do anything without her using them or commanding them. However, other people are able to use the weapons she speaks, again for only five minutes.
Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not: Nope
Appearance: Well, let's start with the thing that gave her the nickname of Lavender, shall we? Ayane's hair is long, almost reaching past her waist, and is a striking lilac color. Along with her hair, the other thing that stands out about her most, and probably are the first things people notice, are her ears. Thanks to her shapeshifting, she usually sports a pair of fairly large, white rabbit ears in addition to her normal human ears. Like a normal bunny's their incredibly soft to the touch and look it, which presents a problem since people sometimes want to touch them, which is something Ayane doesn't exactly like. Especially if those people are strangers. Since her ears are so sensitive she's grown protective of them, what can she say?
Her eyes are an odd, pinkish color that can appear bright red. Think what an albino animal's eyes look like and you can picture what her eyes look like when they seem red. As for clothes, she can normally be found in the school uniform, a little half moon pinned to her lapel as well. When not in the uniform, she generally wears pastel colors that compliment her hair and eyes, and she will admit that she rather likes skirts as opposed to, say, jeans. Though if those jeans are in light, soft colors instead of the regular dark blue of normal denim, she would definitely be willing to wear them.

History
Family Members/guardians: Chiharu and Hideo Aiko
History: Ayane, or Lavender as she’s more commonly known thanks to her hair color, was born in a relatively small town in the northern half of Japan. She appeared to be relatively normal at first, as normal as any little child can be, and generally succeeded in that. Despite being a bit faster than the other children and always winning races, that is. The first hint that something was up with the young girl happened around her tenth birthday, right as she was entering puberty. As if she didn’t have enough things changing already, she changed into a rabbit. It had happened when she got roped into watching a horror movie with her friends. She was okay at first, albeit hiding behind a pillow, but when she peeked at the screen and something made her jump...poof! Rabbit. Because of the horror movie her friends were more or less distracted, so somehow she was able to sneak away unnoticed and hopped to her room as fast as her little legs could take her, despite falling all over herself and tripping every five steps because of how unused to them she was. Once she got to her room she spent the next twenty or so minutes running around in circles and generally having a panic attack. Eventually she was able to get up onto her bed and fell asleep, having tired herself out from all the hopping and the freaking out. When she woke up, it was the next day, her friends had left for their own homes, and she was a girl again.
She decided to tell no one about it, seeing as it might very well have a dream -she hoped- but it wasn’t. She turned into a rabbit about two more times before she came to her parents and told them what was wrong with her. At first, they thought it was just a little girl’s overactive imagination. But then a tail popped out from her being nervous and anxious and they believed her. They tried to keep it a secret but it was difficult, strong emotions making rabbit parts come out more than they should. Around the same time as her rabbit shifting became apparent, so did her uncanny ability to speak things into existence for short bursts of time.
Her parents considered it a blessing that they found Ashford, even though as she got older Ayane gained more control of her shifting. Regardless of that fact, they still packed her a suitcase and sent her off, convinced that the school would help her. As for Ayane’s feelings? She...didn’t know. She was nervous about being so far away from home, but she wouldn’t have to hide her power anymore, and maybe she could learn how to control it even better.
