After a year long stay in Manta Carlos’s correctional facility, Tiny is looking healthier than ever before. Still skin and bones, she no-longer has a sickly pale look to her, and the changes to her outlook are visible in her demeanor. No longer an unstable scaredy cat ( just a stable scaredy cat), Sinaloa’s curiosity entices her to keep her hood off for longer periods of time although she will still withdraw from time to time when the environment becomes too much to handle. She still wears her baggy ragged clothes, and the oversized hoodie, but now Sinaloa looks like she’s wearing the clothes, rather than drowning in them. In exchange for her old beaten up sneakers, Sinaloa has taken to wearing combat boots, sometimes with a slight high heel but usually without. She takes pride in her ragged ‘aesthetic’ although it still remains to be somewhere indeterminably between masculine and feminine.
Sinaloa’s hair has changed tint slightly, the blue-indigo colouring more visible in the light than it was before. Her messily cut hair has been shortened in the front to keep it out of her face while she works. Her eyes remain the same fiery orange-red they were before, but now that they’re more visible, they glow brighter.
Personality Description:
After Therapy:
Sinaloa is shy and withdrawn, though not so much as before therapy. She avoids initiating conversations, and replies to strangers with short, sometimes curt answers. People who never knew her, wouldn’t notice a change. Those who knew her before therapy would notice that her bird-like traits have become more prominent.
Sinaloa doesn’t place sentimental or monetary value on things like normal people, but she loves to collect shiny trinkets ranging from valuable gems to dime store cosmetic mirrors. She gathers her trinkets and soft objects to build a ‘nest’, preferring that over a bed or a couch. Sinaloa loves mirrors, but she hasn’t developed a habit of preening herself, so she constantly looks like she just rolled out of bed - not that she seems to mind.
Her habit of awkwardly people-watching has only gotten stranger, since she seems to be doing it more often as non-creepily as she can. Sinaloa likes to observe people going about their day, so she can learn about being a 'normal human being’. This habit of hers can lead to some awkward situations, where Sinaloa still doesn’t understand how to talk to people normally and can dig some rather deep holes if no one bails her out. She doesn’t always understand personal space, and while she is getting better, Sinaloa often crosses boundaries when she gets too curious for her own good.
Sinaloa’s nerd side has grown, now that she's had other things to do than write code that would never be used. She has delved more deeply into the world of theater and film, and has begun amassing a large knowledge of obscure trivia that will never be used.
Active Abilities: Tiny has a power nullification bracelet, given to her by her psychologist at the corrections facility. The purpose is to help keep her powers controlled, especially at night. The bracelet activates after dark and turns off in the morning, however SInaloa can activate or deactivate it at any time. The bracelet is designed so that she can’t take it off by herself, by Sinaloa’s request.
Dream Altering: Sinaloa can enter people’s dreams and change what is seen, particularly if the person is having a nightmare. She has to be right next to and touching whoever’s dream it is she’s entering, and keep contact or she will not be able to return to her own body.
Within the dream, Sinaloa appears as a smaller than average sinaloa crow. She can interact with dream-world things, and has an instinctive knowledge of where things are and how to find them.
If the person has charms for good dreams or dreams catchers near their bed, Sinaloa is unable to go near them, as if there were a force field around the room.
Walking through glass: Sinaloa is only capable of travelling through solid panes of glass, as long as there is no cracks, and the pane is big enough for her to wiggle through as if it was empty space. This doesn’t apply to mirrors or glass objects, only window panes and sliding glass doors. This power only works at night, and when noone is watching her. It won’t work in front of security cameras or when the lights are on, nor will it work if there is anyone awake on the inside to see her.
Passive Abilities: Shapeshifting: Latent Power. Sinaloa has not yet learned how to transform into a sinaloa crow in the real world, but will, from time to time, wake up with feathers trapped in her hair.
Shadow Travelling: Sometimes done by accident when she trips in dark alleys. Can’t control it, and can’t travel more than 3 meters.
Immortality: Sinaloa is not a fully corporeal being, and cannot be murdered unless the entirety of her body and spirit are destroyed, but she can be physically wounded. It isn’t confirmed if she has an infinite lifespan, but she will always heal from what would normally be fatal wounds and can regenerate lost limbs over the course of eight months or more. Tiny heals at the same rate as a human being normally, however the progress speeds up to twice as fast as normal when she’s inside someone’s dream.

Resources: Sinaloa stays in a very small, inexpensive apartment. She has a part time job waitressing in a cafe and attends mandatory therapy sessions. Sinaloa has, at the request of her therapist, applied for supplementary courses at the start of the new school year.

Appearance Description:
Tiny is a skinny little thing, barely more than skin and bones. An average person able to completely wrap their hand around her arm with a little overlap depending on hand size. Her actual height is five feet three inches, but she never stands at full height and appears much shorter. Tiny is always wearing loose, baggy clothing, usually worse for wear and awkwardly stitched up in places. The only exception to this is a black hoody, two sizes too big, and kept as clean as Tiny can manage. Her hair is a short-cropped mess in raven black with what look like blue-indigo streaks when the light hits it right.
It is rare to see her without some kind of electronic device out, whether it be a phone, a laptop, a tablet or some sort of handheld gaming device.

Personality Description:
On a first encounter, Tiny is more likely to flee the area than to stay to have a conversation. She’s reluctant to initiate conversation, and has trouble forcing herself to answer in more than two-word answers. Tiny does a lot of listening, mostly because she doesn't know what to do when people start ranting at her about their problems. She notices when people close to her are bothered, but she doesn’t pay as much attention to complete strangers unless they’re making a scene or very clearly upset.
Tiny is very trusting of everyone except herself. She's easily influenced by charismatic people, but she’s constantly second guessing why they might show an interest in her instead of others. Even when faced with obvious evidence that someone might not be who she thinks they are, from her own experience and intuition or from someone else, she’ll make excuses to herself to keep her image of them intact. She’s a people pleaser, eagerly jumping to the aid of anyone who’s shown a friendly interest in her, even more so if it's a romantic interest. In the same way that she refuses to see the bad in people, Tiny will also often idolize them over actions or things they’ve said when nothing was meant by it originally. She likes to twist her view of the world to something prettier than what it is, glamorizing darker parts with made up reasoning. Confronting her about it leads to her only denying reality even more than she already does.
Tiny does horribly when put under pressure or presented with conflict, reacting with seemingly over-the-top outbursts. She doesn’t care who's right or who’s wrong in an argument, focussing only on making it stop with a favourable outcome for her and the person she likes most. When being put on the spot, Tiny’s first instinct is to drop everything and flee. The only way to get her to have a solid, one on one conversation, is to trap her and refuse to let go until the conversation is finished.
It’s hard to keep a stable relationship with Tiny because she’s never willing to admit her true feelings about anything, and has never once in her life said ‘I love you’. The idea of marriage terrifies her, having no experience with it aside from media portrayals, but she loves the idea of true love and soul mates. Because she tends to place people on pedestals, Tiny often gets into bad or abusive relationships with no desire to leave them simply because she was led to believe that the other party loved her, either by the significant other or by her foolish daydreams.

Biography:
It is unknown when and how Tiny was created. There is no sign of her ever having parents, nor did anyone summon her. For all intents and purposes, Tiny started existing at the age of six in the middle of new york. She was found there and taken to an orphanage, where she became attached to a teenage boy. Matthew wasn’t fond of her, barely tolerated her, but she would always watch him work on his battered old computer.
From watching her ‘friend’ writing code, Tiny started to learn herself, slowly. She got a job as soon as she could, working in a shitty cafe in an unsafe part of town in order to get a laptop, and continued working multiple jobs after that both offline and online to keep up with major technology advances.
Tiny kept talking to Matthew through email even after he left the orphanage, running away to live with him when she was 15. They shared an awful apartment with a tiny water boiler and a leaky sink drain, but they made the most of it. It was a tiny one bedroom, shared between her, Matthew, and his girlfriend, but Tiny didn’t like big spaces. When they presented her with the option of moving to a new, bigger apartment, Tiny protested by bringing a box into the house and tucking it into the corner. From then on she slept in the box, and only the box, except for the really cold nights where she snuggled up in the bed with her 'parents’. It was on these nights, curled up between them, that she discovered her ability to enter dreams and change them.
Matthew and Tiny joined a hacking group, never going too far over the law. With the group, they would take jobs hacking into systems to help companies improve their digital security. On their own, they would usually hack display screens to give anti-government, anti-sexism, or pro-lgbtq messages. They typically got away with it, although there were many close calls which Matthew’s girlfriend would have to save them from.
As time went on, Tiny and Matthew’s hacking group became more and more criminally involved. The trouble the two got into became worse and worse, to the point where if they were caught, neither would escape without heavy sentences. They started crossing lines, and making enemies. It got to the point where Tiny started getting shot at on her way home, usually missing her, but one day someone landed a fatal hit. A miracle she’s alive, they said. By all accounts, she should be dead.
She recovered, and Matthew brought her home to find that everything in their tiny house had been packed up. It was time to leave, to an island they said. Someone had come in to talk to her ‘parents’ while she was in the hospital to discuss sending her to a special school on an island they had never heard of, and they readily agreed to go when Tiny recovered.
Off they went, barely out the door before guns fired. Tiny was riddled with holes again, Matthew was dead and his girlfriend was dying slowly. By the time help arrived, it was too late for her family. Tiny was patched up again and shipped off to Manta Carlos after yet another impossible recovery.

Tiny didn’t accomplish much after arriving in Manta Carlos, barely making any friends. Her most memorable act was making a scene of robbing a bank, getting herself arrested so she could be sent to the corrections facility. With her powers dampened there, combined with extensive amounts of therapy, she began getting better. Less frenetic. She got her powers under control, no longer letting it control her. Sinaloa remains in therapy, but has been released from the corrections facility.
Resources: Sinaloa stays in a very small, inexpensive apartment. She has a part time job waitressing in a cafe and attends mandatory therapy sessions. Sinaloa has, at the request of her therapist, applied for supplementary courses at the start of the new school year.
