Synopsis
Don't let me looks fool you, or I might just steal away all those memories you thought were yours to keep ;)


Description


˹name˼
    Kora Lynn Garis
˹age˼    Twenty-three years young
˹gender˼    Female
˹height/weight˼    5-6 / 130lbs
˹eyes/hair˼    Blue / Auburn
˹unique trait˼    Her hair is naturally a red-brown color, but she likes to dye it just a bit more red. She says it makes her look more confident and bold (and it tends to rile the boys up). She also love to cut her finger nails into points for no real reason at all.


Personality
˹positive˼    Outgoing, cheeky, determined
˹negative˼    Stubborn, moody, dramatic

˹likes˼    Exercising, baking, theater, smartphones (social media), and being the leader/boss
˹dislikes˼    Losing, gum stuck on the underside of seats (poor hygiene), useless people (wimps or scaredy-cats), smoke, and onions

˹in a nutshell˼    Spunky, loud, and flamboyant. She's the type of girl to take offense easily if you don't coat her with complements. Some see her as dense or high-strung but she doesn't care for she walks with an air of confidence. Although she doesn't need your pretty words, she wants them. She loves the idea of having people cater to her and even fear her to some extent. She's like that cheerleader all the boys want and all the girls hate. She might not be the smartest girl on the block, but she has the best stamina and stubbornness to boot.


Equipment / Abilities
˹ability˼    Psychometry

˹skill level˼    Even though she's very new to the program, Kora's connection with her power is anything but elementary.  Granted, because she's a rather new user, she has her landslid of issues.  Namely, her inability to separate her facts from fiction.  The most she uses her power, the more she forgets her own life.  You would think touching someone would make her wary of her own memories, but Kora doesn't seem to care.  It's almost as if she wishes to erase her past and truly start anew.

She likes learning about other people, other things.  She can reach out and touch a tree and learn its pain, understand how it bleeds when couples carve their names into its bark.  Or she can lay a hand on a car and detect its starting issues.  With people?  Well, it's a bit trickier.  She can touch them, but she only gets glimpses of what's wrong or at foot.  Just little fragments of a life that flicker before her, enough to get a feel but not enough to know the whole truth.  To dig deeper and gain a full connection she must do more.  A kiss, a kiss is a great way to gain access to memories.  An embrace is good too, but not as strong as a kiss.  And, as one might assume, sexual relationships grant her the most access to those she wishes to connect with.

˹athletic abilities˼   She's a runner by heart and desire.  Her ability to run long distances is above average.  When it comes to fighting, the girl took her fair share of self-defense classes.  She also took Tai-Chi and a volleyball class to keep herself busy.  Kora absolutely loves the water too and is a very strong swimmer (she's also a lifeguard, though she doesn't recall this).  Now, being a girl, she's not as strong as the males but she will definitely give them a run for their money.  Kora has always loved being active and has never missed a day at the gym.

˹weapon˼    There's something about a bow that just piques her interest. Granted, such a weapon can be hard to hide so sometimes you just have to rely on your fists and your legs. Oh, and those pretty teeth and nails of hers!


History
˹years of service˼    6
˹memories retained˼    21%

˹career˼    Home sitter. She works for the wealthy and gets paid to babysit their fancy houses while they're away. She also does some cat and dog sitting on the side as she loves the furry creatures.

˹before death˼    She was a student and a damn good one too. She was going to school to be an engineer and was absolutely loving life. Everything was perfect. She had a great boyfriend, the best of friends, and an awesome, supportive family. She knows she has a sister but cannot remember anything about the girl. She doesn't even remember her boyfriend's name. Wait, did she have a boyfriend? Eh, things are a bit hazy for her.
[She did have a boyfriend but he wasn't really a boyfriend, more like a boy that she did sexual things with. She was doing just fine in school, not the top of her class but not the bottom either. A lot of people wondered why someone as beautiful as her would go for engineering of all things and Kora always explained that -- it isn't about looks, it's about attitude. Whatever that meant! Regardless, she was a solid B student just clinging onto her 3.0 GPA. She was in her final year of schooling too. She was to be the star of her college's school play. She was to help her cross country team reach the top. And then, well, she died. And all those dreams were put on ice, literally.]

˹after death˼    It was refreshing, new, and fun.  It was everything she always wanted and then some.  Since she was already dead, she no longer worried about STDs or anything of those silly medical issues that could kill her.  Why fret over AIDS when you're already dead, right?  So upon her new position, she whored herself out and started gaining memories and visions.  It was exciting and fun.  She learned so much about bad men and used to help the organization.  That was until she realized that her own memories were slipping away.  For five solid years, she user her looks and body to gather information and in those 5 years she lost 70% of her memories.  Within the last year, she decided to pull out of the prostitution pool and decided to do something more low-key.  She found a job watching wealthy homes, which was perfect.  One touch of the bed and she could learn all about the sinning that took place between the sheets.  She could still gather the intel they wanted, but she no longer needed to deplete her own memories to gain access to it.  Sure, she still loses moments of her life, but it's far slower than before.

˹regrets˼    Getting in that car and taking that drive. Oh if there was one thing she could undo, it was that stupid, stupid decision. She recalls her death vividly for it was so cold and torturous. It was the first bad snow of the year at it came in late November. She was going to a pre-race party. It was the cool thing to do. And it was cool. It was an amazing night. Beautiful, sexy men wanting to dance with her. One of them sweeping her away. Driving her to his place. Driving him to her place under the influence. The roads were slick and the black ice was thick. To get to his house, you had to drive over a wide river. The bridge, having no salt on it due to the unexpected nature of the storm, was so greasy that the car (not AWD or 4WD) slipped and slid. And it slid right over the edge. Over the side they toppled. He, the boy, was killed on impact for he didn't have a seatbeat on. She? She was trapped. Pinned because metal on ice doesn't always fair well. The car crumbled, it was weak and on its last leg, and she found herself trapped between a broken seatbelt, a door, and a broken window. The icy water gushed in. She screamed. No one heard. And like a captain, she went down with the ship. It was the slowest, most painful death she had ever come to expect. She counted the minutes and the bubbles that took her life away. Until, until there was nothing left of her mind.
