“I didn’t mean to!”
Name: JoAnne “Jo”/”Anne” Jeanette Stephens
Age: 28
Date of Birth: January 24th
Skills: Whittling, Fishing, Plays the Harmonica, Baking.
Special Ability:
Dimensional Self-Storage/Dimensional Pocket – JoAnne is capable of storing objects within her own skin like storing within a dimensional pocket. She is only capable of using her own body as storage space, but thus far storage space appears to be limitless.
Peculiar traits:
JoAnne has no peculiar physical traits related to her ability. But she does have a knack of accidentally stealing things by slipping them into her dimensional pocket and forgetting about them. She’s become quite the kleptomaniac – without intending to, of course.
History:
JoAnne was born in Hopewell, South Carolina to a biracial couple. In her mid-teens, she went through severe depressive spells caused by her power discovery, which shaped her much more reclusive nature to this day. The depressive episodes worsened further after her mother’s disappearance when JoAnne was twenty. Jo was left with her father who struggled to care for her while working. The man always seemed to be on edge since his wife’s disappearance.
JoAnne discovered her ability by accident when she was fourteen. The girl had tried to push a pen into her hair for momentary storage while doing homework. When searching for the pen again, it was nowhere to be found. That pen was gone for six days before something as simple as lazily leaning her head on her hand forced her hand to slip inside a dimensional pocket in her head where she was able to find her lost writing utensil. She was later able to discover that any part of her body could become a pocket of space in which she was capable of storing any object as long as it was equal to or smaller than the size of that body part in width (eg: she could not store a car in her body, but is capable of storing a crowbar in her hand).
After a few too many public slip-ups, and a strange show in front of an attempted purse-snatcher and dozens of witnesses, JoAnne's ability had been made a little too public. With the heat rising from the community about a woman who pulled part of another human into her body in broad daylight, Jo decided to pack up and disappear. One chance encounter later, she was on her way to Sancuary in hopes to be freer than ever.
Personality:
Reserved but secretly passionate. She’s a bit of a push-over, but when she is pushed far enough JoAnne can turn into a spitfire – though that takes a lot of pushing. Normally, she keeps to herself and hesitates to speak up, constantly assuming that most everyone else knows better than she does. Since her mother’s disappearance, and the disappearance of many other people, Jo has started to come out of her shell a little bit, taking a bit of a firmer stance on things and standing up for herself a little bit more.
