Name: Ethel Starling
Alias: NONE YET.
Fandom: OC
PB: Lola Naymark

Age: 15/16
Grade/Occupation: Sophomore / Paper Girl

Affiliation: None yeeeet, but it's safe to say this girl is gonna land on the side of the good guys.
Powers: ACCELERATED PLANT GROWTH. Yeah, basically, if she has access to plant matter? She can make it grow as fast as she wants or needs it too. There are exceptions to this, of course. Basically, she can't make shoots sprout from completely dead sources. For example: a dried up rose in a vase? She COULD bring back, because her power would basically just wake up the structure that was still there, on the other hand, a dried rose pressed flat and used as a bookmark? That shit is dead, and it is staying dead. This exception mainly exists to stop her from making trees grow out of tables.

General Personality: Ethel is basically a good natured, fairly normal kid. She does a lot of reading, she is very trusting and enthusiastic when it comes to meeting new people or working on school projects or whatnot. She's also kind of hard headed though, she's a stubborn vegetarian and follows the loosest, teenage approximation of Buddhism possible (and is pretty smug about this fact). She's also pretty single minded, and both bullying and constructive, helpful criticism falls upon deaf ears with her. She sometimes comes across as being impossible to really upset, but the truth is, she keeps quite a lot of negative emotion pent up inside. Fortunately, she has an outlet in the form of the death metal band which she is front woman of: Murder City Piss Storm.

History: Her parents both work as diplomats, so to avoid her being dragged all over the world, they put her under the legal guardianship of her crotchety old grandpappy. Grandpappy (Or Pappy, as she called him) lived out in bear country, and dragged her out in the middle of the night, to try and hunt down the Jersey Devil.

Eventually, her parents found out, and demanded that Pappy take her to the suburbs and send her to high school, instead of home schooling her on the ways of the wild. Pappy agreed, and promised to move into the suburbs, but like HELL was he going to give up his Jersey Devil hunts, so instead, he gave Ethel a bicycle, and a map to Bayville, and she's been commuting to high school ever since (upgrading from bicycle to ancient hand me down Vespa when she hit the legal driving age.)

Her powers first manifested a few months ago, during a Lima bean related experiment during science class, and she's slowly been working on figuring them out ever since. Mostly she uses them to grow vegetables, so she can pretend to go grocery shopping, but instead just growing vegetables and pocketing the cash.

She's a sneaky one.
