Dr. Selena Sullivan

[attr="class","infobxyaki"]

Sweet
Despite the darkness and corruption in the world, Selena is genuine and kindhearted, a woman with a heart of gold. She has always been filled with deep compassion towards others, altruistic by nature, and seeks to aid those in need. Selena is the kind of person who will nearly always lend a helping hand even if it means going out of her way to do so, flash a shy but sweet smile to warm another and perhaps give them even a small sense of comfort, offer compliments, profusely say please and thank you, and give apologies, even when unnecessary. She is not trying to be a kiss-ass or obtain some sort of gain. Being nice is simply who she is and aiding and soothing others gives her a sense of purpose, hence why she worked hard to become and establish herself as a doctor. It is a profession undoubtedly suited to her nature.

Empathetic
The doctor is a sensitive girl who is highly in-tune with others, not only aware of how they are physically due to her training, but also on an emotional level. She has a strong emotional awareness and is very sensitive towards how others are feeling, and it is not unlike Selena to share their pain in her heart.

Shy
Despite her intellect, training, and power, Selena can come across as nervous and demure. She is not especially confident, having a tendency to downplay her capabilities and disregard her accomplishments. While helping others pleases her, Selena is still an introvert and is not fond of being the center of attention. Selena tries to not stand out nor draw attention to herself, and large groups of people, or particularly boisterous or aggressive persons, make the girl nervous.

Gullible
While an intelligent woman, Selena is undoubtedly a walking doormat. Even if suspicious of someone’s intentions or nature, she tends to either question herself, believing herself to be too critical, or to simply accept whatever is going on; it is not unheard of for Selena to simply follow along, allowing herself to be manipulated and to be sucked into someone's shenanigans. The healer often has a hard time saying no, even when she probably should.

Pure
The woman is pure, of heart and body. The same could be said of her intentions; Selena is an honest woman with the best of intentions in mind. Doing the right thing, forgiving others for their misdeeds, and keeping herself free of negative emotions and thoughts is something she strives for.

And while she is knowledgeable and aware, Selena is easily embarrassed when it comes to physical intimacy and flirtation and has avoided such as best as she could over the years.

Selena is above average in height, tall and relatively slender. While not particularly active, the doctor is healthy; her eating habits are not the most ideal, but she often consumes little and goes long hours on her feet, and when she has the time she will take strolls outside or exercise when she had indulged in one too many junk snacks (a weakness of hers.)

With fair skin, light blue hues, long brown locks, and often a kind smile gracing her lips, the doctor by most is deemed as a beauty, and she is always dressed nicely, having an accomplished sense of style adopted by her mother. Always well dressed, she is most often seen in pencil skirts, blouses, dresses, and heels. She can also be found in pant suits and even more casual, although the latter is generally only at home or if exercising. Selena enjoys wearing nice clothing and, while not particularly prideful, she spends time on her appearance, picking out her outfits ahead in advance. Her makeup is generally simple, however, the doctor going for a more natural look.

A lack of scarring upon her flesh indicates a sheltered upbringing and removal of conflict in her life.

Ignoring the fact that Selena has learned no defensive arts, she is passive and peaceful by nature; the prospect of fighting and hurting another is abhorrent to her. Selena is a healer at heart and, as such, does not engage in combat. At most, she may flee if necessary or use force-fields for protection, and hide/shield others to protect them.

Natural Healer
Selena has the capability to increase the natural healing rate through touch of the afflicted individual. With enough focus and time, diseases can be cured or lessened, and emotional distress can be soothed through physical contact. But her power does not apply to herself and strenuous use lowers her own immune system, making Selena more prone to physical weakness and growing ill. She can also summon force-fields, but they are limited in scope and power. The further and larger the force-field, the weaker it becomes. A durable and reliable force-field can only be within close proximity of herself, such as a bubble around her person, or, say, a nearby surface, such as over a set of doors or a window. The max height and size of her force-fields is the size of a two-story house. Any larger and the force-field will become brittle and shatter.

All capabilities must be actively turned on and used with concentration. The more intense the task, the more concentration and energy required.

Selena was born in Montana to a Phillip and Elaine Sullivan, a handsome, well-educated, and content couple. While her father was a professor at a nearby university, her mother was a veterinarian and kept her daughter close by as she attended local farmer's livestock and tended to their small farm. Selena was raised around animals and care-taking, so it wasn't a surprise she took similar interests, helping her mother where she could and taking in several injured animals and nursing them back to health. Like her mom, if not more so, the girl had a compassionate heart and helped all that she could, animals and people alike. She had a knack for it, not to mention a clear immense intellect, the girl picking up whatever books she could find and devouring them. By the age of five, it was clear she wanted to join some sort of medical field, picking up every medical book she could get her hands on and reading them front to back. While her passion for helping animals and people was equally strong, after a neighbor boy and good friend of hers had a terrible accident and battled between the verge of life and death, Selena determined her future profession with vigor and the utmost determination: she wanted to be a doctor. She was seven.

Her will never wavered over the years, and the bright girl skipped several grades and was enrolled in advanced classes. She dived into her studies, Selena's life comprised of school and caretaking; she left room for little else, although her natural people-pleasing demeanor resulted in favour amongst most of her classmates and associates. Selena was seen as a little darling, an angel, and people really weren't far off in their accusations, particularly once she hit puberty.

Already well into high school, at fourteen Selena obtained her Qi, discovering it with a bit of a start when she stumbled across a critically injured deer at the side of the road that she had been trying to resuscitate. She did not only that. The creature that had been bleeding out miraculously recovered, its wounds and shattered bones mending. Before long, it stood and scampered away. It came as a shock and Selena immediately told her parents. Not one for lying or storytelling, they were hard-pressed to believe her, especially after her father's finger was mended after cutting himself whilst preparing dinner. The family decided to keep her newfound powers a secret, and her mother pushed and supported her daughter in using her powers and learning how to wield them effectively in order to harness them for the good of others.

A couple learned of her powers, but it remained on the down-low as Selena entered university in her mid-teens. She studied more than ever and dived into medical school, all the while participating in a number of community services and quietly using her healing capabilities where she could. The girl excelled in her studies and soon enough was in medical school at Harvard as a budding young woman. While there were those who were incredulous of her age, her image of a darling scarcely changed. She was an angel, a saint, and while some appreciated her overwhelming kindness and compassion, there were those who were critical and snippy. But she kept to her studies, brightened by her capability to aid others and learning the necessary knowledge to do so to the best of her abilities. And her family's support remained unwavered.

Years ahead of everyone else, Selena has graduated medical school, officially a doctor at age twenty-five. She currently works as a new but competent and trusted doctor at the ER of a hospital in NYC. While using her abilities in secrecy and only a very limited number of individuals knowing of her particular powers, rumours have nevertheless spread of miracles at the hospital, of patients near death miraculously turning around and ailments disappearing all together. And with the death rate exponentially low, it is sure to raise some attention. By whom... only time can tell.

Vegetarian
Considering her background with animals and highly empathetic nature, Selena cannot bring herself to consume meat, including beef, pork, poultry, and fish. Eggs are the exception, as they are unfertilized embryos and she was raised on a farm; eggs were a regular part of her diet growing up, as was dairy.

Cookie Monster
Selena has a weakness for junk food. Whether it is cookies, chips, ice cream, or a myriad of other choices, the woman regularly craves them. There is always at least a goody or two on her person at any given time.

Addictive Personality
As indicated by her penchant for junk food, the doctor actually has a somewhat addictive personality, although scarcely explored. Thus far, she is married to her profession and charitable work, and indulging in food when she can, but there is potential for much more. Whether it is a side effect of her Qi is uncertain, but cannot be discarded.

Admin Edit. Chocolates are nice though.
