Background

When your parents come from old money and from a thriving American company - telecommunications - and your the youngest of four children, you can get away with anything. The first child is the heir, the second the spare the third is for marrying and the last, the last is indulgence. Wendy was the last child of Peter and Patricia Hunter. A surprise and a delight in a sea of boys.

She was a tom boy thanks in part to her brothers, and ran through a string of nannies as she was growing up. Parents often away on business, she was left to the devices of her imagination and the indulgences/protectiveness of her brothers. Let me tell you, dating at 16 when all your brothers are in college and ready to stand there with varying scowls on their face while your date is stammering is a hard thing to overcome. She would have preferred if it was her father.

Schooling was, while good, not too much of an interest. She did well enough to satisfy her parents and excelled in the more artistic endeavors that were available at their private schools. Enough so that she went to university for art history. This for a whole six months before she dropped out, much to the disapproval of her father. Her mother though went to bat for her. What did she want to do? She would come into the trust fund that her Grandfather had set aside for her. She would have control over her shares of the business. She would be expected to actively participate and be responsible for keeping the family Legacy going. Fine, whatever, she could do that. But what did she want to do?

She wanted to be an artist. A live in the city proper and immerse herself in an environment that would be ripe for inspiration. And boy was it! The noise, the people, the societies. She often found herself painting/sketching in the park for money - despite being able to pay for her rent and food regardless - party at night in the various clubs both expensive and cheap. She flirted briefly with a drug habit but through intervention from her brother, it was curtailed and now she channels her addiction into a half pack a day smoking habit.

Through this all, things were happening, changing. A tugging at times sent her looking this way then that. An indescribable urge to follow a certain direction that could be overwhelming at times. Strange mental sensations when shaking the hands of people. These very sensations were sometimes the inspiration for the art that she made. Not famous, she sold pieces steadily at art Gallery showings that her parents sponsored. She had skills, that was for sure, but like all great artists, it's not something that will become priceless till she's long dead. For now though, it's a pretty penny to buy her sculptures and one sits in the lobby of Hunter Telecommunications as well as some other companies.

It wasn't until the explosion in midtown of which she barely escaped and saw the destruction of all of her work that had yet to make it to a gallery that she found her true inspiration. The endurance of the human spirit, and banding together of human kind in the face of tragedy as well as the turning on of those who were greedy to those less fortunate.

It was too after the announcement of the evolved gene that she could put a name to those sensations and pulls. Evolved. Not only that, she could tell who WAS evolved. She was one of the first to register and never looked back. her American duty to do so. Though no one had really bothered her to use it, as it's not really been advertised. But after the bomb and the flocking of those whose genetics are different, it can at times be a bit daunting for her when she's out and about as there seems to be more 'pulling' these days than there ever was.

Psych Profile

Evolved Ability

The basics of the ability is that Wendy is capable of identifying an Evolved from a non evolved person as well as the general nature of their ability within a certain distance and touch.

Identifying Evolveds

Wendy gets no visual cues that the individual or individuals are evolved. Instead, it's more like a directional compass in how it operates. In a given room, at a radius of 50 feet, she can discern that there is any given number of evolveds and their general/immediate direction. Beyond that range, they don't register on to her. The closer to her, the better for her to pick them out. Someone at the far end of her range will be muzzy and harder to relate positionally. Someone standing within twenty feet or closer of her can be more easily identified/located as evolved. This aspect of her ability is passive and persistently on and cannot be turned off. Can be dimmed and shoved to the back of her mind, but it is always on and active.

Discerning Abilities

She needs to be physically contacting the individual in order to discern what their particular talent may lay in. Each ability has a distinct and innate sense attributed to it. However one atmokinetic feels like another atmokinetic. A pyrokinetic who can create flame, as opposed to another who can only manipulate it will both come off as the same to Wendy. Her own ability lays no distinction between the two. A person with multiple abilities like Sylar and Peter, she senses only the dominant ability, or whichever one that is currently active. There is a variation on this when it comes down to negation. An individual with blanket negation like Trask cannot be identified nor those within the area of effect of the negation nor can she obviously discern that the individual is evolved unless noticing that suddenly any other evolveds in the room stop registering as well on her "sonar". It doesn't register either way. An individual with pin point negation, like the Haitian or Kailin, does register, so long as the negator is not concentrating upon Wendy individually. They then also have a certain 'sense' to them as well.

Wendy does not intuitively know what any one persons ability is if she hasn't come across it before and cannot assign or be given a name to the sensation. If she's never come across a telepath before, she won't associate it with that particular ability unless she's told "I'm a telepath/they're a telepath" and can relate that sensation to that ability. This aspect of her ability is not on all the time and can be activated at will.

Limitations

Negators obviously interfere with her ability to a degree depending upon the type. Those with the ability to trick the mind via illusions can confuse Wendy and the link between what she see's and what she senses. An illusion can conjure up a sight of a forest that's empty with nary a person in sight while she's standing on a city block and her ability will still say "There's evo's about" but visually she can't confirm it. Invisibility provides some interference as well in that someone invisible could be standing beside someone who is normal and Wendy might mistake the visible person to be the Evolved individual when in fact they are not. This can be eliminated through the use of the secondary function of the ability and with a simple touch to confirm yes or no. If not.. well then Wendy has a mystery on her hands! Unless the invisible person gives her reason to suspect that they are indeed invisible and not just some screw up of her ability, she would remain oblivious.

Another limit is population. Too many evolveds in a given amount of space and she'll be unable to point you in the direction that an evolved is located. Up to eight, give or take a few in her range and she can function fine. You begin to increase it and she won't be able to point in which direction and would have to resort to randomly touching people to ascertain if they are evolved or not. At some point, too many and she will be unable to function. An institution like the Company would give her migraines or worse from the sheer concentration of evolved within their walls if she was actively instead of passively checking for evolveds.

So instead of just goodbye I'll say so long
And as for the light by which you see me leave it on
I'm a better man than I was before
knowing you has made me strong
and I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone
^{When I'm Gone
Randy Newman}

Trivia, Quote's & Scavenger List

Trivia

• Had a light to medium drug habit just before the bomb. Her parents and brothers tossed her into rehab after an intervention in the hopes that it would stick and she'd get clean. Mostly it was painkiller abuse, Oxycontin was her friend as well as Percocet. It worked and though still to this day she battles with her demons so to speak, the only drug habit she has now is a half pack a day smoking one and caffeine. She's fallen down the rabbit hole again. E and soon to be Refrain so far.
• While she comes from money, she tends to live well within her financial means and more in tune with her artistic tendencies. She does appear at social functions when beckoned to, but otherwise, sticks to those more around her day to day social strata (not the rich).
• Is a fair to middling successful artist who's main talent lays in sculpture and three dimensional art but does on occasion paint and sketch. There is occasionally a gallery somewhere featuring her work and some installation pieces in her parents building and a few others company's around the US of A.
• Nicknamed "goldfish" by her brothers due to her eyes.
• Twitter

++++Skills

Languages

Wendy is skilled in French and Spanish. The first by virtue of the fact that it's the second most spoken language in the world and 'refined' as her parents put it. The second because her revolving door of nannies growing up were mostly Spanish and as such, taught her how to speak it. English of course, is a given.

Artistic

Give her clay, plaster, and a few other mediums and she can produce you something if she has the appropriate inspiration. She's well skilled in the use of all sorts of tools required for the trade. She's had no real formal training, save for half aborted attempts to attend university and a 6 month stint in Art History. Needless to say, she never carried on with it and instead preferred to go her own route instead of someone else's.

Cook

She can cook. Really cook. Be it ramen in a pot all the way to a Duck l'Orange. She considering cooking just another form of art.

Driving

Lets just say, her parents had a lot of cars and she got her drivers license at 16 just like every other kid. She's skilled at handling fast cars at high speeds and has the speeding tickets to prove it.

Memory

By no means is she a pamnesiac, but she actually has a very good memory. Not for every day things or faces and names, nope. She has good memory when it comes to her ability. Which ability is which, and the classification of it. She also has a good memory for art, movies and insane little bits of trivia. You do not want to watch jeopardy with her.

Finances

She's not an idiot. She lives off a trust fund and she has stakes in the family's businesses. She shows up without fail to board meetings and manages her own finances and is hands on in that respect with the accountants and such. It may not seem it with her sometimes ditzy air, but there IS a brain lurking somewhere and she always knows the balance of her bank account and status of her finances.
