Basics
Name: Adalia Farah Ivy
Nicknames: Ada
Age: 16
Birthday: June 6th
Grade: 11th
Power:
Phosphorous Manipulation: Ada controls phosphorous, a poisonous and volatile element even by itself. She only controls it in its solid state, black and while phosphorous being her choice forms to use. Her control of its gaseous state or phosphorous smoke only extends to whether or not smoke is produced when it explodes. After the smoke is produced it's a free for all, Ada neither able to manipulate it nor neutralize it. Beyond controlling it and shaping it, she is also able to cause it ignite and explode at will. In the case of ignition, especially with white phosphorous which ignites on contact with oxygen and doesn't stop burning until it's cut off from said oxygen or there's simply no phosphorous left to burn, she can delay the ignition if she chooses to.
Whether it's a side effect of her manipulation or part of her adaption, Ada is immune to phosphorous. At least it's poison seeing as explosions and burning phosphorous in direct contact with her skin can still hurt her as it would normal people, even though it'd take large amounts of it to bypass her adaption to the heat.
Environmental Adaption: This is a very handy power to have. Having environmental adaption means Ada's body adapts to the environment it's in. Underwater? Her lungs and respiratory system will change for her to be able to breathe underwater. She will almost never need a gas mask. She can also withstand extreme temperatures, heat that would make most pass out and cold that would induce hypothermia, without the help of "outside systems." That being said, she cannot withstand said extreme temperatures for very long, and will succumb to the effects like normal. Also although her body will adapt to sudden changes in the environment, if something happens too fast her body won't be able to deal with it as thoroughly as it would if it had been given more time. An example would be if she was caught in an explosion; depending on the strength and heat thrown off, it would damage her because the blast would be too fast for her body to adapt well enough to defend against it. Her adaption isn't as enduring as some might think though. The weaker she becomes the weaker it becomes.
Enhanced Intelligence: This is very self-explanatory. Enhanced intelligence means that Ada can easily comprehend theories, concepts and other things that are beyond what a normal high school student and indeed most people can understand. She learns faster, learns more, and retains more. She is, for all intents and purposes, a genius with the IQ to match.
Member Group: Prefect
Canon or not: nope
Appearance: First and foremost, Ada is tiny. Topping out at only 4'11, she's shorter than dang near everyone. Her build is petite obviously, not even weighing 115 pounds soaking wet even though she loves to eat, but she does have some muscle tone...it's just not easily seen. Her hair is a reddish brown color and kept short. It's usually messy seeing as she doesn't brush it some days and just doesn't are about how it looks. Her eyes are bright and green with an edge to them, almost like she's always planning her next scheme. She's pale with little to no freckles though she can tan a little.
Her side is almost completely covered in scar tissue, caused by shrapnel wounds from the explosion that killed her sister. Though she isn't embarrassed by them anymore, she still doesn't go about advertizing she has them but she doesn't try to hide them either. Beside those on her side, she has many little scars scattered on her body, either from playing rough as a kid before her adaption kicked in or lab accidents that managed to get through it. One thing that Ada always has, no exceptions having yet been found, are her goggles. Made herself, the lenses are pink tinted and capable of both protecting her eyes and becoming thermal vision goggles with the flick of a button.

Overall Personality: The first thing you should know about Ada is that unless you're a rare case that shares her enhancement she's smarter than you. She'll let you know it, too. She often spends all night in her lab, sometimes going days without sleep, working on her projects. These projects could be anything from experimenting using her own DNA to see the full potential of her adaption to flying robots designed like mini flying saucers with specialized programs. Along with her robots, a favorite past time of hers is hacking. She would classify herself as a white hat hacker, usually only hacking to gain knowledge -of which fellow Ashford students are a favorite- or just for fun; setting up a virus as a prank that's more annoying than actual damage causing. This is because when Ada has a problem with someone she prefers to deal with them in real time and not in cyberspace and usually with fists.
She tends to have a little bit of an...issue with authority. If she respects the person giving her orders she's mostly fine. However if she doesn't respect or doesn't like the person it's a whole different story. She'll either do it and mess up horribly on purpose or just not do it at all. This particular quality of hers managed to get her in detention so much at her old school that she knew the teacher who oversaw it by their first name.
She's a snarky one, rebellious and sarcastic, but that doesn't mean she can't be a good friend. She's protective of her friends, not hesitant to resort to violence when someone messes with them. She's not the best at times at showing feelings besides sarcasm, anger or rebellion but you'll know she cares for you in some capacity when she can pick on you but no one else can. When you realize this don't worry; while she may allow other people to smack you around a little depending on who it is and how much she cares for you she's the only one that's allowed to seriously injure you.
But she can be nice, if she's good enough friends with the person. She'll still tease them but she won't hit them as hard. She's a good listener and can offer pretty good advice, often being able to tell if a person's off or sad in someway. She doesn't like to see her friends sad, hates it in fact, and will try her best to cheer them back up.
History
Family Members/guardians:
Lillian Ivy - mother
Henry Ivy - father
Ava Ivy - little sister, deceased
History: Ada was the kid who ripped the heads off Barbies and used them as slingshot ammo. Pretty much how she is now, she was a little tyrant. She picked fights with anyone that dared make fun of her for size. Though she was excelled in school and passed all her tests it was a fight to get her to actually do her work. She didn't see the point of it. She passed the tests and understood everything- why do the homework? For the most part Ada's early life was pretty good.
At age four, Ada got a surprise. A little sister. Named Ava, as soon as she could waked she was her big sister's shadow. At first Ada resented the fact that Ava felt the need to always be with her but eventually she grew on her. She took Ava under her wing, becoming extremely protective of her little sis. But then the day came when Ada could no longer protect her, and she was was the cause.
It happened when Ada and Ava were ten and six, respectively. Her active power, the phosphorous manipulation, had shown up and Ada kept it a secret from everyone, even Ava. She snuck out to practice one day, going to an abandoned warehouse. It started fine enough, Ada learning to control her powers more. Then Ava showed up. Ada hadn't realized she'd been followed. She just suddenly popped up out of nowhere just as some white phosphorous lit and exploded. The first explosion caught something, setting off chain explosions as Ada panicked,trying to do something to stop it. In the end it wouldn't matter, Ava screaming as an explosion hit her only to be cut off as the flames roared and things came apart. Ada didn't leave unscathed, her side now covered in the scars she got from the shrapnel.
She doesn't let herself think about it, never truly let herself mourn because in her mind it's all her fault. Two weeks out of the year she puts out a single flower, a snowbell, in remembrance. One for Ava's birthday and one for the anniversary of her death.
