Name: Marina Sychowitz

*Nickname:
- Marina and The Diamonds (She loves this one.)

- Marine Biologist

*Alias: Poison Ivy (Of course, I had to.)

Age: Almost 19

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Heteroflexible

Personality: 

Marina prefers to consider herself a seductress in private. She knows how to talk to people and bring them to their knees. Although not silent and observant, she takes great pride in being able to manipulate even the most enigmatic of people. Of course, being overconfident in her abilities, her vivid emotions and quick speech may turn into blubbering nonsense if she is humiliated. She hates failure in any way or form. If you are the cause of her misfortune, you should begin writing your will soon, and maybe even a restraining order.

Pure envy is part of her drive. Marina wants to be the one every boy (or girl) looks to for a good time, the one that can command a diamond ring and receive it at the blink of an eye. She gets what she wants because she asks for it, not because she's really that deserving of it. Her drive is to be the best; if there is no success, than what's the point of existing? In compilation with these ideas of her's,  it is rather difficult for her to feel guilt for her actions. Marina sees most things as a game of chess, and she likes to think that she's the queen piece.

She is not gentle in the slightest, although Marina can find ways to lay it on thick if need be. Most of her words incorporate little white lies that she thinks no one will detect. She says what she thinks you want to hear, and if she says the wrong thing, her mind rushes for a way to fix it. When she is unable to mend the situation, scorn and/or a kiss on the cheek are to be expected.

A perfectionist and a downright puppeteer, she loves to make it difficult to get out of her trap once anyone is sucked into it. Marina is an amazing actress, if she may say so herself. Although she is supposed to be a superhero, she will most likely stick with the class that will benefit her most. She is selfish and will not do anything for anyone unless it will help her as well. It wouldn't be a surprise for her to have the next few years of her life planned out. One of the only people she displays her slight overprotectiveness over is Kermit, who had been sucked into her trap while they were only in middle school. Yet another bites the dust. 

Appearance: (Will have scars on either back, chest, or stomach from testing, depending on how many times they went through the procedure.)

Fiery ginger with bright green eyes. Sickly-looking skin; many, many freckles. Typical hot-stuff— curvy figure, walks the walk and talks the talk. She looks sassy and speaks the language fluently. Marina has scars along her back and arms, not to mention the two faint scars edging the corners of her mouth as well. Her lips are tinted an acid green. Her blood runs viridian, leaving her with greenish blush as well. Probably has had more plastic surgery than anyone in this world. She likes to think that she's drop-dead gorgeous. (Did I mention that she's conceited as well?) 

Powers (2): (powers should relate to each other.)

- poison kiss: Her saliva is layered with a specific type of poison called Strychnine. May cause seizures, paralysis, and eventual death due to the decomposition of internal organs. This ability only works with lip-to-lip contact, or on opened wounds. If used on any other part of the body, there will only be temporary numbness or stinging within a short radius of the afflicted area.

- plant manipulation: Some types of vegetation-- vines are her favorite resource-- pose as a weapon for her usage. She can make plants grow, shrink in size, or shrivel them up completely. She cannot control wood, however, nor can she control plants in their altered/concentrated forms. (i.e. cotton clothing, fabric, paper, etc..) 

Weaknesses (3): (Stronger the power, the stronger the weaknesses.)

Poison kiss:

- This ability is really only useful when the saliva is in direct contact with either wounds that allow the poison into the bloodstream, or during lip-to-lip contact where the saliva can be shared without the victim's notice. 

- Although she can spit at people, it isn't very accurate and doesn't cause much damage.

- She used to have a major habit of chewing on her knuckles. The poison isn't limited to others; it can also be used on herself. If her saliva comes into contact with her own skin, the effects are enhanced due to her skin having turned rather paper/leaf-like in both texture and in the ability to withstand only small amounts of pressure and/or tugging.

- Isn't really that effective unless the target is either sleeping or seduced in some way or form. 

Plant Manipulation: 

- She is unable to create plants from thin air, and can only use the resources provided.

-  Marina is basically powerless in areas without plants or at least potential for plants to grow (infertile/barren soil).

- High levels of radiation in a concentrated area may cause defects in the ability.

- She can only control carnivorous plants and vines. 

- She can only create conscious creatures out of vines (which usually aren't readily available), and for a very short time. If she strains this ability any further, there will be a blackout. 

- Only three plants can be controlled at a time. Distance and the knowledge of her power makes this ability less effective as well.

- Fire, ice, and electricity will make everything shrivel up and die for almost certain. 

Fears (4): 

- She is very afraid of fire and lightning, along with most forms of heat. Her body temperature has been rather cold after the procedure, actually. Her form has been frail as well, not to mention sensitive. She found these fears after a bad experience.

- Marina abhors being proved wrong, along with being humiliated in public.

- Being a natural klutz, actually, she fears tripping and falling and possibly making a fool of herself. Marina wants her reputation to stay as high as possible, whether it be good or bad.

- She works very hard to somewhat secretly seduce people, you know! If she ever gets found out, Marina will most definitely move to a different country ASAP.

- The dark, surprisingly. She acts all tough and sassy, but she will scream like a little girl in pitch black.

- Isolation; her 'popular' group leaving her. 

Backstory:

Marina grew up as a spoiled rich kid. She got whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted it, almost immediately after she asked for it. As she grew up, although she had the wit and smarts to get good grades in school, her family still bribed many to bring her to the top. Her parents loved her very much, yet she rarely expressed her faint emotion for them. She does not feel love for many anymore, not even her closest friends. She has dropped many people when they even breathe in the wrong direction. She grew up throwing many tantrums when things didn't turn out her way. She has had a practically effortless life, and probably didn't read the contract when she decided to join the SH program. Marina most definitely believed that she deserved it, no matter what. 

*Fun Facts:

+ She loves to tease, but hates being teased herself.

+ She used to be a big bully with all the cash from elementary school to now.

+ She has poor Kermit wrapped around her slender finger.

*Likes: 

- Drugs

- Friends

- Increased Dopamine levels (all the candy.)

- Keeping up a perfect image

*Dislikes:

- Probably your character tbh

- Being called a whore, even if it's true to some extent.

- Raccoons. One bit her at age seven, and she never got over it.

- A lot of things, actually. Tea, coffee, clouds, nature, high heels (although she wears them all the time), people thinking that she's lower than them... The list could go on forever.

- Ooh, and copycats. 

*Other:

- She's a major hypocrite, actually. For example, Marina always says that she hates people that try too hard, but she's the one throwing herself into everyone's face.
