Sophia was a peculiar and precocious girl who grew up in the foster system. Nothing was known by the officials when she turned up, head shaved bald with an "M" brand over her left eye. Even her own memories were mired with hallucinations from juvenile schizophrenia. She never completed high school, but is well-read with a genius level IQ. Though her hallucinations stopped, she is still considered somewhat eccentric and detached. She now likes to live as a combination of nomad, thief, and squatter. She studies a residence and the inhabitants' routine and lives in the house, often keeping her backpack of goods hidden in a closet. House Mouse is usually most active at night since that is when humans usually sleep. This is usually when she eats, pilfers away leftovers, showers, or otherwise uses the household's amenities. Always very quietly, of course.
Her goods include a backpack containing a secondary set of clothes, toiletries, a stolen iPod Touch, earbuds, and charger, lock picks, and a switchblade.
She chose the moniker "House Mouse" for a number of reasons. People would occasionally call her "Mouse" because she was always the smallest in both height and weight, always very cute, quiet, and loved sneaking and hiding in small places. When her power of invisibility manifested, and she began living in other people's house under their noses, the name of a creature that did the same made sense.
Her current* abilities consist of invisibility and genius level intellect. She is also able to lift her own weight easily and is very flexible. Her invisibility is attributed to the ability to bend light around her. She is able to turn objects she is touching invisible if they are of equal size or smaller than she is. She is not able to maintain her invisibility while unconscious.
Spatial Sense/Intuitive Aptitude
Sophia's psychokinesis isn't not always used as an active ability (i.e. lifting things with her mind). Whenever she is awake, her mind is continually emitting psionic energy in a non-obtrusive form that almost works like an X-ray or sonar. She says it's her ability to "see through people." Though she is not actually able to see through dense matter, she is able to project her thoughts through or into an item or person to sense its fundamental nature by it's construction. This is easiest to do with psionic mutants whose brains function on a certain wavelength easily distinguishable from other minds.
Journal Entry:
"To humanity,
You might think I'm cold and overly idealistic in my nihilism, that if I could only mature, develop connections with my fellow humans, I would resign to become a contribution to society. But your warm need for companionship and purpose is inessential to existence. You could say, "but your passion for disestablishmentarianism and crime is also inessential for existence yet it seems to fuel your action." True. It is not essential, but neither is the colour blue. And I have a preference for that. The point is, I have learned the absurdity of your existence... and mine. I do not live in a delusion even if I accept elements by necessity.
Besides, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun."
*Brainchild
Sophia's ability to become invisible is due to her ability to warp and shape the two-faceted nature of light (wave and particle) by touch. The nature of her ability is attributed to a complex psychokinetic ability able to manipulate energy and matter of all kinds with or without a physical connection. This is unknown to her and probably anyone else. Should this ever become known, she could expand from invisibility to more expansive, world-altering abilities associated with Omega-level telekinesis.
