Relationship:
She is close to her mother and a bit intimidated by her father. She wants to be closer to her sister but is unsure of how to go about it.
Personality:
Opal is a shy, reserved young woman who usually prefers to keep to herself. She's an indoorsy type who dislikes getting her hands dirty, and would rather take refuge in the safety of routine rather than trying something new. Opal will be polite when speaking with others, but she might come off as distant or pensive. This is partly out of shyness, and partly out of her dislike of drawing attention to herself. She tends to be suspicious of strangers' kindness as well, and often hesitates or verbally stumbles when accepting it. Despite this, she is highly dependent on others and finds herself flustered or at a complete loss when left to handle things on her own.
Powers:
Bubble Manipulation
Opal can create bubbles, usually from her hands or fingertips, though she can make them on any surface of her body. Air bubbles are faster and easier to create, while bubbles full of water take a bit more time and effort.
Bubble Stream
Her main method of attack is a stream of hundreds of small air bubbles. While not very powerful, it tends to push the opponent back. The bubbles are also just hard enough so that, if it doesn't hurt on impact, the feeling should still be enough to irritate or distract the foe. It's usually enough to force them to cover their face or close their eyes. Opal can also increase the size of the bubbles, causing them to do more damage in exchange for making fewer of them at one time.
Water bubble streams hurt more than air bubble streams, but are slower for Opal to set up. She tends to favor making one large water bubble and launching it like a Hadouken.
Seafoam Slide
Opal can create a coating of tiny bubbles on any surface of her body. This foamy surface has no friction. Opal usually applies it to her shoes, using it as a means to "skate" around. She can't quite skate on rough surfaces riddled with bumps and rocks, as it causes her to lose her balance. Opal can also create foam surfaces on herself as a means of softening physical attacks against her, causing punches to slide to the side, though this requires quick reaction time, which she lacks. She can more easily use the foam to slip out of someone's grip.
Bubble Shield
Opal can encase herself in a giant, flexible water bubble. Its elasticity makes it easy for it to absorb physical attacks. It can even withstand sharp points unlike her other attacks, though not for terribly long. Opal can also create a giant bubble as a cushion to break someone's fall, or as a springboard to launch someone into the air. The bubble itself can last for as long as Opal desires unless it's attacked too many times.
Opal mostly tends to use this for aerial transportation, propelling herself forward by placing her hands behind her and releasing an air bubble stream. Opal can also take the bubble underwater, though she has to take extra precautions to reinforce it. If she doesn't, the bubble can be easily popped underwater.
Weaknesses:
Sharp edges are an easy, obvious counter to her bubble attacks, though Opal herself doesn't consider herself much of a fighter to begin with. She's never been in actual combat and would rather run away and hide from a fight. She doesn't have much of a means to defend herself, but she hasn't ever really encountered the need to.
History:
Opal is a young woman who was brought up in a well off family. Her life was comfortable and for the most part uneventful - or rather, safe. According to others, the only real peculiarity was her father, Malik. For a family of their standing, he wasn't very personable or well mannered. He had outlandish rabbit ears that he disliked talking about, which she inherited... And he had a strange condition that afflicted his body. To Opal however, they weren't out of the ordinary - that was just who her father was. He was admittedly a bit scary, but in the end, he cared for her.
Unfortunately, Opal would learn that there was more to her father than she thought. One day, a stranger calling himself Skarn appeared, revealing Malik's origins to the family: a facility called Gaia Labs. Skarn casually demanded that he come with him at Gaia Labs' order, but Malik refused and fought back. When Skarn failed to subdue Malik, he shifted to more underhanded tactics and targeted Opal. If he couldn't bring Malik back, then he would lure him back!
Opal herself was terrified. One moment, she saw the man rushing at her; the next, she had blacked out. She would later find herself awakening in a clean, sterile room. Opal could only assume that she was in the strange facility that Skarn mentioned, and her heart sank.
Now trapped in Gaia Labs, Opal can only feebly wait to see what fate awaits her. Fortunately, it seems there might be someone at the facility who's taken pity on her predicament...
Anything else:
- She was originally posted under the name Mei Amano with a different backstory where she was adopted by Jun Amano, but her original identity was always Opal Meija.
- She's based on one of my first OCs lol
