PERSONALITY
*Description: It has been said that being blonde will give you extra favors from people. It has been a symbol of enormous beauty throughout the years. However it does not matter of what your hair color is, provided you know what you want. Bodi is the sort of person who knows what she wants in life, as well as where and how to get it.
She is fiercely ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive, independent, and has a rediculous amount of self-confidence. She is also precise, refined, has a fastidious love of cleanliness, hygiene and good order.
She is at her most effective when in a position of command. She is uncomplicated, knowing exactly what she wants and using all her energy, creativeness and resolution to get it, as well as being certain that she will get whatever she is after. Because... well, she just will in the end. That's always been the way things work out. Bodi tends to think and act bigger than others would normally dare; the ambitiousness of her schemes and idealism sometimes daunt those she is associating herself with, but if she meets with setbacks she will thrive on the adversity.
She has always been an almost pathologically determined young woman when it came to things she set her mind to: When Bodi was six her mom took her to an Olympic size pool. She decided that he had to swim the length of it without a breath. And then she was so frustrated when she couldn’t do it, she refused to leave the pool and had to be “physically coaxed out” by her father. She has always had high expectations of herself and thus has always been very hard on herself, not in a self depricating way, but that's just one of the ways she motivates herself when she is unable to accomplish something. She is also a suspected claustrophobe.
She is a very mischievous young lady, funny, very warm and compassionate, and also quite tough, not in an unpleasant way, but... gutsy. To get ahead in life, Bodi believes you need to be a wholesome person. You also need inteligence. She has a casual, almost unwanted beauty, and although she is young, she is also very wise. She displays sapience, unique knowledge, and good judgment. She does carry the "blonde gene", but she also carries incredible intelligence in a few particular areas, such as clear observation and great ability to see connections the rest of us don't. She appears to be a young woman who has experienced a fair bit to put it frankly, and has learnt first hand many things that the years bring.
In regards to the current circumstances regarding the paranormal beings, Bodi appears to be bitter towards them in front of her superiors, in spite of secretly fearing for their fate. She tries not to come out as being too scornfull, for she understands that the fate of paranormal-kind stands on the edge of a knife.
Although she considers herself a lady and preffers to behave as such, she's also very brave and is willing to "rough it" in order to get a job done. She is creative and enthusiastic, broad-minded and expansive. If someone does wrong to her, or someone she cares for, she will not hesitate to use cunning, lies and trickery to discredit them. These are her tools.
Habits: Dislikes being handed things.
When brushing her teeth, she feels compelled to walk in circles around the bathroom until she need's to spit into the sink.
She wont drink anything if she does not have a straw; this includes hot drinks such as coffee. It may be a bacteria thing.
She also tends to whistle at often strange an inconveniant times.
She hates having bare wrists and fingers. She feels the need to always have some bracelet or ring.
Soft Spot: She has a very strong soft spot for her young cat, Watson (Watty).
She also favors thing's of beauty.
Weak Spot: She does not remember the last time she cried out of hurt, but she will cry out of joy.
Best Quality: Willingness to make life meaningful--strength in overcoming pre-set notions of "this is all you will ever be."
Worst Quality: Past unfaithfulness in relationships
Biggest Vulnerability:
Biggest Strength: A strong dedicaton to whatever she set's her mind towards.
Best Memory: One of her favorite memories was recieving an electric scooter from her fathers on Christmas, when she was eleven. They asked her what she wanted and the scooter was something she had wanted more than anything. That memory will always be a part of Bodi's heart.
Darkest Secret: She is 24, and still sleeps with a stuffed animal.
*History: Bodicea came from an upper-middle class family living in Rio De Janeiro City. Her adoptive parents were Murray Manuel, an American who worked as a lawyer and Gabriel Manuel, who worked as a chef up until Bodi's adoption. They lived a standard, content life together.
In her short life Bodicea has gained allot of perspective and wisdom. She speaks two languages: English, and Spanish. Although she often frequently misuses and sometimes misunderstands any English slang words or sayings, she can speak it fluently.
During her school years she was the sort of girl who had a vivid imagination, eye for detail, and excelled in the more artistic area’s rather than math and science. She has always been a little sassy - but was still a very polite young woman in front of the teachers - most of the time. She was always happiest when taking dance classes - she is a tallented Belly Dancer - and cooking with her Spanish father.
When she turned seventeen, Bodi claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Out of everything she has ever experienced in life, she is able to remember it very vividly and describe in detail what happened.
She claims that when it happened, she had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly awoken by a strange low whirring and humming sound's through the window, and a bright blue glow pulsating through the glass. Getting to her feet, she pulled back the curtains, and gasped, immediately covering her face with her arms as something large, and triangular-shaped with a bright light coming from its underside swooped down in front of the window and temporarily blinded her. As soon as the light bathed her, Bodicea felt her skin grow numb, and she slipped into unconciousness.
Upon opening her eyes, she realised she was laid out flat on a cool, hard surface. The air around her smelt horrid. Able to look around her, she was amazed because she had worked in a laboratory before and she was seeing machines that she had never seen before, even in her line of work. It was then she turned and saw a short, rusty furred thing with large, blue, almond-shaped eyes with the smallest of pupils. It had no visible nose, or mouth. It was thin, with gangly arms as thin as sunflower stems, and three long fingers on either hand. She was unable to see what it looked like from the waist down, because it was currently preparing surgical instruments beside the surface she was laying on. Another of the creatures stood not too far away, with it's back turned doing something at a counter.
Looking down at her own self, she realised that her pyjamas were missing, replaced with what looked to her like a hospital gown, only thank goodness there was a back to it! She remained still, not wanting to cause any trouble. Strange tones and frequencies rang throughout the room which made her ears hurt. As the other creature turned, it saluted the one closest to her, although it was not wearing any military clothes. Both were dressed in dark green jumpsuits, but the clothing had no insignia. Though the fabric it was made out of looked strange. It wasn't polyester, or silk, or like any material she'd ever seen.
Bodi was then handed some sort of drink by the 'nurse' as she often describes 'him' as, she told him that she wouldn't do it and through some form of telepathy, he said it would be much easier if she would comply. She began to cry, suddenly feeling a sense of great fear. As if her own arms had acted against her will, she then realised that the cup had been raised to her lips, and once again, unconciousness claimed her.
When she awoke, she was told to get up and go into a seperate room to change back into her other clothes. She noticed blood, as if she had started her period. But, she continued to get dressed and when she came out she saw the two creatures speaking together. Bodicea just stood there... helpless. She felt more alone then than she ever had in her life. She felt like a guinea pig. After the doctor left the laboratory, and left the nurse there with her, she was silent. She felt unexplainably angry at him for allowing this to happen to her, as if he could have prevented it. But he said it was necessary.
When she asked what they had done, he did explain that they injected her with some sort of modified techno-organic virus-like body restructuring machines. By rewriting her biology, she had gained an enhanced healing factor, and was partially able merge with technology - technopathically controlled by her own brain. Her enhanced technopathy extended to every piece of technology, limitless and effortlessly due to her ability to interface with communication satellites and wireless connections to increase her "range".
After she was told this, a blue light filled the laboratory, and in a blink of an eye, Bodi found herself abandoned on a beach not too far from her home, where she soon phoned one of her fathers' who, understandably distressed, informed his adoptive daughter that she had been missing for a fortnight.
Thinking back on it now, at the time she had presumed the aliens were hostile, but in retrospect she isnt so sure now. She had no recollection of what happened during the procedure, but prior her nurse was at least mild in temperament.
Bodicea was surprisingly quick to accept her fate, although it did take alot of getting used to her new found abilities; the television may often flicker while she was in the same room, or the toaster would pop at strange times. Now she has built up enough skill and accuracy she is able to change radio stations by using her thought, changing traffic lights at will, hack into systems, and over all "communicate" with machines and technology. She has remained silent on the subject to all but her fathers. That is, until she met a boy called Jason.
Of course she fell in love with him. He was a backpacker, from Sydney. With the Australian accent, the surfer tan, and long sandy blonde hair what was not to love about this foreigner. Once it was time for him to return home, she followed him back to Sydney, where she soon applied for a job at an Internet Cafe. They dated for a year, but when it came time Bodi finally felt brave enough to tell him of her ability, he fled out of fear. He did not understand.
She did not want to go home straight away. She had a lust for travel, but lacked the funds to do so. She needed to find better work. This is where the Facility comes in. She had heard of the "paranormal friendly" city in Tasmania, and decided to start over fressh, and move there.
About a year and a half ago, she approached a "research facility" for work in dealing with technology; re-buiding equipment and machines, as well as fixing and dismantling things all together. She jokes, calling herself a "computer surgeon".
Even now, Bodicea knows very little about the compound and what happens in there. During her orientation, she was met by a guide, who took her to a computerized check-point with two cameras on each side. To her left was a large groove where a small transit vehicle would carry herself, and the guide further inside.
To her right it looked like a long hallway where there were many offices. She took the transit car and went for what seemed to be a very long time to another secured area. It was then that she was told to step onto some type of scale-like device that faced a computer screen. She saw lights flashing and numbers computing and then a card was issued with holes punched into it. She would later realize it was used as identification inside a computer.
She asked her guide where they were going. He didn't say too much the whole time except that he was to show her some things that she needed to know for future reference. He told her that they had just entered Level One of the 'compound'. She asked what kind of facility it was and he refused to answer.
She was then taken to a huge elevator that had no door. It was like a very large dumb-waiter. It took them down to Level Two where there were two guards in a different color jumpsuit, she had to go down a large hall and saw many offices that had computers that lined the wall. As they walked by, she noticed the lighting was strange in that she could not see a source for it.
Other people walked by and never once acted like she was a stranger. She felt she was in a huge office building where there are many employees with many offices and cubicles. She then saw an extremely large area which looked like a giant factory. There were small alien-type craft parked at the sides. Some were being worked on underneath and it was then that she saw the grey-type alien species for the first time. They seemed to be doing the menial jobs and never once did they look up as they passed. There were cameras posted all over the place.
She would see more people pass them in the hall. Again, it was as if Bodi was a ghost. She asked her guide to please explain this place to her. He said that it was a very sensitive place, and that she could not be told much else for her own safety.
They then got into a small transit car and it took them to the other side. It was there that she saw the most disturbing things of all. She saw what looked to her to be people of all different types standing up against the wall inside a clear casing-like chamber. She went closer and it looked 'as if' they were wax figures. She could not understand what she was seeing. She also saw animals in cages. They were alive...
It was then she was told that if she was to leak any sort of information to the general public, she would be "terminated". Though to this day, no such threat has been carried out. Her job and sole purpose in the company was to take things apart and put it back together (even better). They wanted her to work specifically with alien technology, seeing as most of the technology was far more advanced than anything Humans had ever encountered.
At this current time, she lives in a small house in Battery Point, where she spends most of her spare time listening to music in her little garden, growing flowers and herbs. And often selling them to various neighbours and the occasional stores.
