In-Character

The only child of Kathy and Alan Finch, Macie's life began without trouble or worry. Despite being high-flyers - Kathy a Human Rights Attourney and Alan a wealthy CEO - her parents were loving and devoted, ensuring that their daughter had everything she needed for the best possible growing up. Shortly after her third birthday, her parents divorced. Alan won custody of his child and moved with her to New York, where his company was based. Macie was enrolled at the New York School of Dance before she turned four, learning tap and ballet whilst a home tutor prepared her for schooling. Alan buried himself in work, as the company was developing rapidly and people more demanding than Macie took up his time.

She spent a lot of time alone, taking solace in her dance and waiting for her father to return home so that she could show him what she had learned. Unfortunately, time spend with her father was little and precious, and when she enrolled into elementary school, the lack of interaction with others made it difficult for Macie to make friends. Further problems developed as she found it difficult to understand classes; numbers and words made no sense, her learning was slow, and her worst fear manifested in reading out loud before the class. Retreating from the ridicule of others, she remained solitary, scared to ask for help as teachers didn't seem to be able to solve the problem. At eight years old, she broke her leg and wrist after a failed landing in a ballet class, and relished the time away from school. She worked hard in sports classes, where she was able to keep up with the other students, and continued her study of dance, rising up through the grades with considerable speed. By the time her final year reading assessment came, Macie couldn't control her fear of being ridiculed and promptly burst into tears while stood in front of the class. At that moment, a voice murmured in her ear, "Don't worry. I can help." At her side was a young adult man with features similar to her own, a calming hand on her shoulder, manner gentle and understanding. With his help she managed the reading exercise with little trouble, and he remained with her, telling her that his name was Sam, that nobody else could see or hear him, and that he was going to stay and act as her shield.

Enrolling into middle school, with Sam's help, Macie quickly caught up with the other students, and reached an level of understanding on par with her classmates. Suddenly, her existence made sense again. Ever a benevolent influence, Sam praised her efforts and encouraged her in her dance study. He helped to save her life when she reacted badly to a bee sting, staying with her until an ambulance came to treat her, and later explained the effects of her condition: anaphylaxis. He helped at home, performing small tasks such as fetching utensils for cooking, and finding things that were lost. Macie has yet to realise that this second, stronger personality only exists within her mind, and that she is developing into a powerful psychic in her own right.

Powers

Telekinesis - Can lift and move small objects; from her perspective, Sam is picking them up and carrying them. When in a heightened emotional state, she loses control of this power and may cause objects around her to vibrate, shake, and/or shatter. When the Sam personality asserts control, this telekinetic power is considerably stronger: he has the ability to move and manipulate larger objects - people, cars, etc. He can also at the extreme conjure telekinetic energy to his hands that he can deliver on contact, or project over short distances.

Sixth Sense - Has the ability to sense the basic emotions and surface thoughts of people around her. This often manifests as sharing a "sense" with them - experiencing the same smells, touch sensations, etc. As the power evolves, she is able to share more advanced senses - sight, hearing, etc - and can sense them over longer distances when the subject is someone with whom she is familiar. She can sense if she is the subject of an individual's conscious thoughts - if someone is watching her, for example. She usually percieves this as Sam having spotted the person in question, warning her, etc. Sometimes, this sense can provide her advanced warning: she may recieve a flashed image of someone thinking about harming her before they have the opportunity to, which gives her a few moments to react, as if with precognition. It also manifests in a manner not unlike dowsing and scrying, giving her the ability to "find" people and objects seemingly by instinct: she percieves this as Sam telling her where the object / person is.
