Personality:
Ephemera is a pleasant young woman but not one to be crossed, ever; if you do you do it on pain of death. Like the saying says ‘Hell hath no fury like love to hatred turned nor hell a fury like a women scorned' this girls one you really don’t want to scorn. Ephemera can be sweet but like the ocean she can be restless and dangerous. When most people first meet Ephmera she is viewed as friendly unless you’re a guy that is planning on trying to have his wicked way with her, that is not a very good idea since she won’t take very kindly to it. She is a naturally seductive young woman who can be quite the temptress when she wants to be despite this however she is actually very innocent for a woman her age. Behind her flirty personality is a girl afraid of getting close to someone , she’s had bad experiences with men in the past and finds it very hard to trust them though she would gladly put her life in their hands. She would be a lot more reluctant to do so with her heart.
Though the friendly side of Ephemera is the most commonly seen side of her those who truly know her and have witnessed her fouler mood know that it’s best to not upset her if you value your life. True she doesn’t mind getting into fights but she can honestly say that she has never started a fight without a good reason. In her opinion there are only three things worth fighting for; your family and those you care for, your life and the co existence of human and mutants. She hardly ever looses her temper but even when she does, she calms down very quickly. Usually she removes herself from the company of others as not to saying or doing something she could later regret.
She is protective of her friends and won't allow anyone to push her friends or herself around, she isn't the sort of girl to back out of a challenge and if you try to push her around your challenging her so watch out, she also doesn’t like to be confined and restricted. She has a warm heart under the defensive layers, she is an avid lover of literature and is known to be a very romantic individual who would do anything for her family, she has a habit of spying on them to make sure they are alright, if they weren’t afraid and ashamed of her she would more than likely approach them openly, despite all that she would give her life to protect them.
Flaws:
++ Her heart and emotions sometimes cloud her judgement.
++ Is still adjusting to being an empath and can feel overwhelmed by others emotions which makes it hard for her to be around others.
++ Somewhat untrusting of men.
++ Misses her family despite their disgust towards her.
++ Is very claustrophobic.
++ Hates to disappoint people.
Family:
Father – Morgan Tempest – Human Lawyer – Living
Mother – Aleena Tempest – Human Justice of the Peace – Living
Twin Brother – Caleb Tempest – Friend of Humanity – Living
Younger sister – Morianna Tempest – Human High School Student - Living

. some of us are, different
FOR MUTANTS
Power(s):
The first power to manifest itself was her ability to fly, having had this since she was twelve she has become her adapt at it, she is able to fly long distances and at great speed though after a while she grows very tired and needs to rest.
Her second ability to manifest was her control over illusions, by picturing something in her mind she can project it for others to see, after years of practice she has learnt to narrow and widen the reach of her illusions, she can ensnare entire groups or a single person, giving them bliss or their worst nightmare. Her illusions are incredibly realistic, by making contact with whoever she’s casting the illusion over she can make the illusion personal to them whether in a good way or a bad way.
Her final and newest gift is the one that has given her the most trouble. Empathy. She can feel the emotions of others as if they were her own which interferes with her own, sometimes making it hard for her to distinguish if the emotions are actually hers nor not. There are times when she acts on said feelings ...even when she really doesn’t mean to. In time she will be able to alter the emotions and moods of others though it will take a bit of work to control it.
Weakness(s):
++When Ephemera is knocked from the sky and hits the ground she is usually down for some time, the higher she is the longer she’s down for.
++She can’t hold an illusion when pain is inflicted upon her; example - if she is hit her illusion will fall.
++Her empathy can make her very unpredictable in a fight for both her enemies and allies.
++Bruises very easily, a playful punch can bruise her.
++In a fight she can’t use weapons or guns, only hand to hand which makes her somewhat vulnerable if unable to cast illusions.
Cause:
Flight – When she was twelve her parents sent her to Russia to see a world famous ballet with her nanny, on the way back the plane started to lose altitude because of a fire, as they attempted to flee Ephemera fell from the pale but soon realised that she was no longer falling but descending towards the ground. It took her a few weeks to realise that it wasn’t a one off occurrence.
Illusions – When her family found out she was a mutant her twin brother attacked her out of what she believes to be fear. Unable to defend herself she wished he would leave her alone and remember that she was still his sister. That was when it happened. He seen her as the toddler that used to hug him when he cried. When this happened she fled. The illusions continued to manifest whenever she felt threatened.
Empathy – She has no idea what triggered this, she’d cast an illusion for the benefit of one of the young students who’d recently lost a relative and found herself feeling the same grief and loneliness.
