Appearance Description: Haley is a white 16 year old girl with dirty blonde hair that goes down to the middle of her back and pale blue eyes. She is a Southern gal, with a thin Georgian accent. At 5’6” and 160lbs, she is fairly tall and a little chubby for her age. The weight bothers her, but not enough to start dieting. She has small breasts, wide hips, and a farmer’s tan. Her parents didn’t allow her to wear any makeup, except for formal occasions, but she is interested in starting to. She does her best to dress for the occasion. Whenever she is going out casually, she wears a pretty, floral dress that goes past her knees with black boots. She wears a hat, jeans, leather boots. a plaid button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and puts her hair in a ponytail when she needs to work outside. At school, she wears the school skirt uniform, though she is a little uncomfortable with the length. She also has one formal, plain, floor length dress she wears with flats for church on Sundays, and she has one white, formal ballgown should the occasion present itself.
Personality Description: Haley is a very polite southern belle. She is an outgoing, introvert, as in cheery, friendly, affectionate, and loves to be with a close friend, but finds spending time with people emotionally draining and cannot stand being in large groups of emotional people. She goes out of her way to treat everyone nicely, and does anything she can to make others happy, likely because of her empathy ability. However, because of her empathy powers, she puts other people’s emotions ahead of her own. She is an enabler to an extreme, which causes problems in abusive or toxic relationship. If someone is sad and needs help because they spent their rent money on booze, she would want to loan them money no strings attached. If someone excitedly tells her they want to break into the old, decrepit factory, she is there! When someone gets angry at her, she gets angry at them, leading to extremely fierce fights.
Active Abilities: Emotional Control Aura: Haley can force others within a 25’ radius to feel the same emotion that she is feeling right now. It does not affect anyone that is already feeling an emotion more strongly than Haley. It forcibly activates if Haley is experiencing an extreme emotion.
Passive Abilities: Empathy Aura: Haley feels the emotions of everyone within 25’. If Haley tries to ignore it and the emotion is not strong, Haley only gets a superficial understanding of the emotion. If Haley focuses on a person within the aura or a person is feeling a strong emotion, Haley experiences that same emotion, including any pain that is causing the emotion.
Weaknesses: If Haley is in a crowd or mob that is experiencing a wide variety of strong emotions, her empathy ability overloads, and she screams and passes out.
Common Magical Items: Aura Warning Bracelet: While not actually magical, Manta Carlos distributes customized bracelets for those with auras. Depending on the shape and color, people can tell at a glance the approximate range and nature of the aura of the wearer.
Biography: CW – implied noncon fetishization
Haley grew up on a farm in rural southwestern Georgia. She has had her empathy powers as early as she remembers, though she never thought they were supernatural and does not know why she has them. Her mother would joke about how of all the children, her crying was the most impossible to ignore, and she had to go to great lengths to get you to stop.
She is the middle child with 4 siblings and had very conservative southern parents. They taught her all the polite niceties of society, which Haley learned quickly thanks to her empathy ability. They taught her to do all the farm work and Haley enjoyed being outside with nature. What Haley did not like was the cruel conditions the chickens were subjected to. Every time she would go near the coop where the broiler chickens were kept, she would feel their pain, fear, and anger. This led to long, heated arguments with her parents at the age of 10. She insisted on going Vegan until they improved the conditions of the chickens. She got grounded, extra chores, and spanked as punishment for not eating the food the parents raised themselves, but Haley never relented. Finally, one of Haley’s father’s friends suggested he convert his farm to peanuts and humanely raised meat and see if that would get Haley to eat. They switched over, and though Haley forced them to make a few more changes to improve the conditions of the chickens, she eventually went back to eating meat, always making a prayer thanking the chicken for this delicious meal. A new restaurant in Atlanta was looking for good local humane meat stores, so it ended up being profitable.
At school, Haley was able to make some good friendships. Occasionally Haley was bullied, but it never bothered her since she could tell the bullies were just trying to get over their own pain. She had a crush on one of the boys in 6th grade, and she could tell he had a crush on her. He would get turned on every time she walked by, which would turn Haley on. However, her parents made it clear that she wasn’t allowed to date until she was 16. A year later she started to get a crush on her best friend, a girl! Haley was very embarrassed and ashamed by this and would never tell anyone about it. She couldn’t imagine what her parents would say if she started dating a girl. When Haley turned 16, she was presented at the Cotillion debutante ball. All the newly eligible bachelorettes would be there and were expected to exhibit utter grace. It had been a lot of stress and pressure, but when she stepped up to the top of the staircase in her flowing white ballgown, she felt happier and more beautiful than she had ever felt before. That lasted until she reached the bottom of the staircase and the empathy aura kicked in. Suddenly, she knew what all the attendees were thinking, whether it was her mother being proud of her, a man imagining a romantic dance that ended with a kiss, a man thinking she looked like a fat cow in that dress, her younger sister seething with jealousy, the men that wanted to rip her dress off and debase her, others who didn’t think she belonged here and wanted her to leave. It was all too much emotions, and Haley let out a high-pitched scream and passed out. The next day, one of SA’s scouts came by after noticing the commotion and offering to take her to Starlight Academy. The scene she made at the ball already made her a laughing stock in the county, and her mother horribly embarrassed, so she relished a chance to get away.
Resources: Small stipend from the school and money from a part-time job as a gardener at Lyrseir's Tranquil Spa. Sends a third of her money money back to her Family in Georgia and tithes 10%.
