known limits;; Maia is a powerful empath and she does have fairly good control over her ability; however her power does outweigh her control and there are times when she slips up. On occasions when she is trying to influence/manipulate the emotions of a large number of people and is tapping into a large amount of her power, there is the risk that she will lose control. When this happens her power rages out of control; extending beyond the boundaries of the huge school. She feels the emotions of everyone in the school and at least three - quarters of the city all at once. This is of course overwhelming and too much for her to bear and she goes completely berserk; losing all sense of reality for to her nothing exists but the tumult of emotions assaulting her.
This occurrence has happened three times since Maia has been at Sententia Academy and each time she has come close to hurting those around her and herself. Maia had to be subdued by the Academy Principal, Dr. Sullivan who possesses the sub - skill of suppression and then placed in complete isolation from any other human for a period of 36 hours (she is kept sedated for 12 hours of that time) so that she could recover and regain control.
power history;;how they discovered their power. since birth? teenage years? then illustrate it here. at least 2 paragraphs.
It started simple. From the time Maia was a toddler she just always seemed to get her way. She wasn't a perfect child; she got into things she wasn't supposed to and got in trouble like any other young, curious little girl would but the difference was that unlike other normal children she never got punished, scolded or anything else. One sad look and she got her way. Essentially everyone seemed to be putty in her tiny palms. This continued for years and she was the envy of most other children who considered her to have the best luck in the world. However, despite her unbelievable good fortune, Maia was generally a good child and she did know the difference between right and wrong so she never abused the endless lenience given to her and never got into any serious trouble.
It only later became obvious that it was more than just luck that had given Maia her perfect life. When she was ten years old, during her summer vacation, her mother took her to visit her ailing grandmother in Atlanta. While she was on her way to the home the strangest things began to happen. They were on a bus and Maia was standing up in her seat looking outside while her mother conversed with an old friend. She was watching a boy riding a bike and was about to show her mother when suddenly the boy fell off the bike and hit his head on the edge of the sidewalk. In complete unison with the boy, she clutched her head and began screaming.
The entire bus erupted around her as everyone looked to her in surprise and even more emotions flooded her being. Anger, shock, surprise, worry, fear, wariness and concern; all of these bombarded her all at once. People watched as she cried, screamed in fury, recoliled in fear, voiced surprise; her actions mimicking those of her around her as they reacted to her strange and alarming behaviour. Even as her mother raised her hand to strike her she did and hit her mother in the face.
When the bus stopped her mother pulled or rather dragged her out the door as whispers broke out around them and then quickly down the road away from other curious onlookers. They didn't stop until they turned onto a deserted street. She was released from her mother's grip and looked up to see nothing but fear in the eyes of the woman who had borne her. Her world had changed forever.

assets;; Her innocent, unassuming smile complete with dimples. Her eyes that almost always have a mischievous glint and a secretive knowing look. Her hair: - long, short, cropped, curly, straight, brown, blonde, streaked, natural; it doesn't matter it always looks good.
flaw;; She has a jagged scar on her lower back from when she feel onto some rusty barbed wire when she was a child.
distinguishing mark;; She has a heart – shaped birthmark on her right hip. Only a select few know of this mark for even in a bikini it is at least partially obscured.Maia has a nice, toned, fit body with all the right curves in all the right places. She is one of those people who can eat whatever she wants and yet never get fat. It probably also helps that she jogs at least twice a week and does yoga for an hour every other day (this is also supposed to help her to better her control of her empathy). Her skin has a natural glow to it perhaps from her strict 8 glasses of water a day regime. She has stunning, alluring brown eyes under her natural perfectly shaped eyebrows. For people who know her, these eyes tell you a lot about how she is feeling and what is going on with her.
Maia does not freak out over clothes as much as some other girls would but she does like do look nice. She doesn't have a set style and most definitely does not follow fashion trends; in fact her choice of clothing is very diverse. The only pattern she has ever had in picking out clothes is buying whatever style, colour, etc. that she thinks looks good on her. Her clothes are sexy in that they accentuate her figure nicely but they are not revealing. She is a firm believer that you should leave something to the imagination and not just let it all hang out for the world to see. As a result of this, she has been accused, more than once, of being a tease.COMPASSIONATE, FRIENDLY, LOYAL

eccentricities;; At times she spontaneously starts to count every step she takes when walking
Maia is a kind, nice, generous, trusting person with an open heart. She is smart, loves to read and has an open mind. Mai can be a bit shy at times but once she grows comfortable with a person she can make friends with basically anyone for she only judges a person on who they are on the inside as she believes that inner beauty matters the most. She is extremely loyal; the person who will be there for you through thick and thin - a shoulder to cry on during the hard times and a friend to laugh with during the good. However, don't be fooled into thinking that she is a push over for she is anything but and once you get on her bad side it is very hard and takes a lot to get back on the good. This is not because she is an unforgiving person but because she has been betrayed and hurt deeply in the past by the very people who are supposed to love you unconditionally and so considers betrayal to be the lowest and worst thing a person can do to another.
Mai like any other teenage girl can be moody at times. This is made all the more worst for her because of her empathy. Feeling dozens of other emotions of a bunch of hormonal - driven teenagers as well as to her own, all at once, and at times having a hard time distinguishing them from each other, would be taxing on any one person. However, with years of practice she has learned better control and is less temperamental than she once was. Basically she is less likely to bite off the heads of random people she runs into.
This young girl hates to see others in pain, not only because she can feel it too but also because that is just who she is. Even before she discovered that she had an actual ability, Mai has always tried to help others in anyway she could. Besides, having had as much personal pain as she has had, she wouldn't wish it on anyone else. It is also her hope that if she can show her family that she can control her empathy and help others in her own unique way that they will finally accept her for who she is and stop fearing her for something she had no control over. To Mai, her family's acceptance of her gives her hope that someday the world at large can also accept her and everyone else like her and that they would no longer have to hide who they were.
;;_we owe it all to HISTORY
father's name;; Michael Celise
mother's name;; Annette Celise
siblings name;; Baby sister – Calista Celise
significant other;; None at the moment
children's name;; N/A
others;; Grandmother – Natalie Gilmore
Michael Celise was a successful businessman just like his father before him. His future had been picked out for him before he was even born. He attended the best schools, had private tutoring and was only allowed to associate with other privileged children that his father deemed to be of their high class. All this so that he would follow in his father footsteps and enter the world of business, eventually taking over the reins of the multi - millionaire pharmaceutical company his father had built. Perhaps his life would have been different if his mother had not died in childbirth but that wasn't the case. Instead the young boy was left at the mercy of a hard, strict father who rarely showed affection and was more interested in making money than in raising a son. All Mike ever longed for was for his father to love him and make to make his father proud so as the dutiful son, Michael did all that was expected of him. The question however was if he was ever really happy.
Annette Gilmore never knew her father. Her mother, Natalie Gilmore, had gotten pregnant in the middle of her freshman year of college and when she had revealed that she was pregnant the man that was supposedly the love of her life suddenly wanted nothing more to do with her. Natalie's mother though initially upset at the girl when she heard the news took pity on her daughter and her unborn grandchild and after making Natalie swear that she would take responsibility for her actions, welcomed her back home. However, an unexpected stroke shortly after her birth disabled her grandmother and forced her mother to have her put in a home where she could receive the almost constant care that she now required. And so, Annette ended up being raised not having a strong male figure in her life and by a mother who saw her as nothing more than a mistake that ruined her life. This, of course, did nothing to help in young Ann's development. At the age of 23, having had graduated from College with a Bachelors in Science, young Annette moved from her home down of Atlanta to Maine where she hoped to obtain a job at one of the most successful and cutting edge pharmaceutical companies around in the Research and Development Department.
It was on her first night there as she ate dinner in the dining hall of the hotel that she was staying that she met Michael Celise. At the time she had no idea that he was the C.E.O. of the infamous One Heart Pharmaceutical Company although after she found out she couldn't believe that she hadn't made the connection. They instantly hit it off and it was much to both of their surprise when Ann walked into the conference room of the company's main branch to have an interview with the board the next day and they met once again. Annette did get the job and she also got the guy. Even though Michael was in all essentials her boss; the two dated for a while and developed a strong relationship. After a year of steady dating, Mike finally popped the question and shortly afterwards they were wed on a hilltop in late May.
Six months after their wedding, Annette became pregnant and on the sunny day of September 18th gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. At the time the company was looking at further expansion so as soon as little Maia was old enough to fly, the small family relocated so that Michael could supervise the construction and then head the new branch. Annette quit her job at Michael's suggestion and became a stay – at – home mom, after all she wasn't the most strong – willed person in the world and hadn't had the best role model. Everything seemed to be going perfectly until that fateful visit to the now aged and ailing Natalie that revealed that Annette and Michael's daughter was a little more special than they had bargained for. Michael who was always taught that everything had to be perfect did not want a freak for a daughter. He immediately pulled the young girl out of school before anyone else discovered the secret and then privately hired the best doctor's in the world to find a cure. Young Maia's home became a prison. She was confined to a wing of the mansion where they lived that was separate from the family quarters and varying tests were carried out on her each day. Maia wasn't completely neglected, her parents visited her weekly but she could always feel their fear of her during those visits and their relief when they were over. She was provided with everything she needed and her father even hired a tutor for her so that she could continue her studies and her own personal maid. To the outside world, Maia no longer existed. Friends who initially asked about her sudden disappearance was told that the girl had become dreadfully sick and had to be sent abroad to be treated. This was the young girl's life for three years but it was all to no avail. There was no sign that her strange ability was going anywhere instead it seemed to be growing.
One day when her mother and father were paying her their usual weekly visit a stranger was with them. Maia knew something was up because their emotions were offIt was revealed that the unfamiliar young man was the principal of a private high school in St. Louis where other "gifted" children just like her attended and that the school was offering her a place there. Maia wasn't exactly being given the choice as to whether or not she wanted to go she soon discovered, for her parents had already signed the papers and enrolled her at the high school. They had jumped on the idea where they no longer had to deal with some sort of freak that would ruin the image of the perfection they strived to maintain. Like his father, to Michael image and money were the two most important things in the world to him and Annette was too weak of a person to object and also she had become too used to being taken care of to risk having to start over on her own. Also, apparently her mother was pregnant again and Maia was told that they didn't want to risk having their new baby being infected with Maia's affliction. She was told that it was all for the best and that she would understand when she was older. Despite what they said, what Maia understood was that she was being replaced. Within a week, before Maia's fourteenth birthday and before she even had the chance to meet her baby sister Maia's stuff had been packed and shipped and she was on her way to Sententia Academy where she has remained since.

Her eyes opened slowly as she left the comfort and security of her sub - conscious where she was in control and re - entered reality where the cruel hand of fate ruled and seemed to want to cause nothing but pain and strife. The dream she had just awoken from was the same as always when she was in this place; a dream that revealed the longings of her very soul.
'Three times now.' she thought staring up at the high ceiling above her, 'Hope Felicity didn't worry too much'
As the joy she had felt moments before as she dreamt ebbed away, the young, dark – haired girl sat up cross legged on the soft bed where she lay and surveyed the familiar room around her. The walls of the room were white washed completely devoid of colour. The only furniture in the room was the bed on which she sat and a small couch off to the other side of the room that faced a stand on which stood a flat screen television and a DVD Player with stacks of various DVDs standing beside it. Other than that the large room was bare unless you counted the medical equipment. Heart monitor, CT machine, Brain Wave monitor, Respirator, IV stands and a desk laden with bandages and syringes of different sizes occupied the space next to her bed. A wooden door was set into the wall adjacent to where she sat and led into a small bathroom.
Maia sighed. She really did hate the seclusion and isolation but she knew it was necessary for both her well – being and the well – being of those around her so she didn't complain; after all it was her own doing that had once again brought her to the place. Shaking back the sleeve of the plain blue pyjamas that had been provided for her; she looked at the silver and gold wrist watch that adorned her wrist to check the time and drew small comfort. Her time here was almost up. She had just been about to get up and head to the bathroom when she heard the elaborate, electromagnetic lock on the almost invisible white door facing her from the other side of the room click open. She immediately looked over as a tall, young man in a lab coat entered the room, holding a clipboard on which he was reading something.
