persona
personality
arabella, to start off with, is very open and outgoing. she's quite the social butterfly, so much so that nobody would ever expect she's been through such a rough childhood. That isn't to say she doesn't have flaws though. as much as she can be vibrant and adventurous, she can also be a little guarded when it comes to learning things about her, and she can close off pretty quick if someone starts to question her too much. she can also be quite blunt, rarely thinking of what to say before she says it, and the same goes for her actions, which have gone both good and bad at various times. arabella is loyal, almost to a fault, and she's quite trustworthy. however, from having to stay as a prisoner in labs, she has acquired skills such as good acting and cunning mannerisms to get what she wants. she is also incredibly stubborn and never one to give up. it's impossible to argue with her because she hates admitting she's wrong, even when she is. she had a bubbly exterior and can always be seen trying to make people laugh, with her slightly quirky behaviour, but he also has a very short temper and people typically stay away at that point because she could easily electrocute someone. all in all, arabella is adorable — even though she thinks otherwise — and fun to be around. she's basicay like the sun. a big ball of energy and always vright but he could definitely sting if you get too close and rub against her the wrong way.

abilities
alias
electrolyte
powers
> electrokinesis ;; the ability to shape, create and manipulate electricity, as well as controlling electric fields, electronics and electromagnetic forces.
> ferrokinesis ;; the ability to shape and manipulate any kind of metal.
> magnekinesis ;; the ability to shape, create and control magnetism of any form.
power strengths
> electrokinesis ;; she has power over just about any electronic device and has the ability to 'read' them and understand how they work with just a touch. she can also electrocute people by generating her own electricity or using a nearby power source.
> cyberkinesis ;; the ability to shape and manipulate technology. it is a variation of electrokinesis and is something of a sub-power.
> ferrokinesis ;; with metals alone, it can act somewhat like telekinesis, so she can move large chunks of metal from nearby places. she also has the ability to sense in a certain mile radius whether there is any metal around. she can even change the state of metal if need be.
> magnekinesis ;; she can either manipulate existing magnetic fields, or she can act as a human magnet, considering she has the ability to control metal as well.
power weaknesses
> electrokinesis ;; she is a little unstable as she has yet to understand her power fully, which means she could accidentally electrocute someone if they catch her at a bad time and just so happen to touch her. usually they won't though because they'd be able to see little sparks flying off from her. and just like she has the power to control electronic devices, her mood can also affect devices that she's not even touching, so she could walk into a kitchen in a bad mod and have all the appliances freak out.
> ferrokinesis ;; it is extremely hard to control metal that is twice her own body weight and causes a lot of strain on her mind which partly adds to her blackouts.
> magnekinesis ;; since she can act like a human magnet, her metal manipulation can come in as a weakness because things could just fly toward her without her even realising. all of her powers are currently heavily influenced by her emotions so it usually causes trouble for herself and others.
abilities
> her physical abilities extend to enhanced speed but not so much strength. she is also more alert, flexible and has much better reflexes after experimentation.
costume
she doesn't have a costume as yet because she's not identified as a super hero or anything, however, if she chooses to join steve and bucky, she would most likely don something completely black and easy to move around in. [
x ]
weapons
she carries a knife in the back of her shoe at all times, but this is merely for self defense purposes. since she is not part of a team, as such, she has no other weapons.
equipment
she doesn't have much equipment because her powers are sufficient, however she does always carry her laptop, because with her control over technology, she can use her computer to access just about anything as long as she's in the right place.
alignment
chaotic good
team
she is not part of any team as such, as she was only vaguely aware of the avenger's existence, but after participating in the civil war, it is clear where her loyalties lie.
relationships
mother
isobel sofia moretti [ nee delacour ] ;; deceased ;; arabelle never knew her mother much. she has vague memories of her that were mostly destroyed due to experimentation, and so she is unaware that her mother was being tested on too and died because of it.
father
giovanni kane moretti ;; alive/whereabouts unknown ;; arabella has resented her father most of her life considering she wasn't born out of love, and merely to satisfy his experimentation needs. she swore to end his life if she ever came face to face with him again.
siblings
>
alexander lorenzo moretti ;; older brother / 24 / whereabouts unknown ;; arabella has always been close to alexander, considering they both shared the same troubles and wanted to escape their horrible father. all the siblings were quite close that way because they had to look out for one another. currently though, arabella has no information on his whereabouts, or whether he is actually alive, but he would be twenty six if he was.
>
alfie nicholas moretti ;; younger brother / 18 / alive ;; arabella dotes on her younger brother even if they're only three years apart and he usually acts like the older one. they've protected each other this far, and will continue to do so for as long as they might need to.
extended
> isaac delacour ;; matenal uncle / alive ;; arabella and her siblings are all quite close to their uncle who brought them up shortly after they escaped experimentation. he is currently working as an agent with shield.
best friends
>
nathaniel watson ;; a friend she made in the labs during experimentation. they escaped together and kept in touch all these years, and continue to do so despite being in different places. all that's needed is one call, and they'll rush to each other's aid without hesitation.
> sam wilson ;; out of all of those hiding out in wakanda -- besides bucky -- arabella gets along with sam the most almost as soon as they get to their hideaway, and they constantly tease each other and make jokes at each other's expenses.
friends
> bucky barnes ;; bucky started out as an acquaintance that was seen as antisocial, but arabella quickly turned it around because she was intrigued and wanted to know more about him, and so, with her bugging, they became friends and actually hit it off quite well. as soon as they became friends though, they already started to realise that their relationship was quickly developing into something more.
> steve rogers ;; steve is basically like arabella's big brother. he's always very concerned about everyone and wants to keep people safe, and that extends to arabella as well, especially after learning that she means something to bucky.
> wanda maximoff ;; being the only other female in the compound, naturally, the two got along. they're also among the youngest so they feel as though they can understand each other as well as their powers which seem to be out of their hands and very powerful.
acquaintances
> scott lang ;; arabella and scott are the type to talk occasionally and make jokes but they aren't very close.
enemies
> giovanni kane moretti ;; arabella's father is someone she fears and also detests. she never wishes to meet him again and if she does, she swore that she wouldn't let him walk away from the encounter alive.
> hydra ;; the people her dad worked for, and the people that she assumes has taken her brother in again, so naturally, she holds a lot of hatred toward them.
background
history
arabella's parents experienced something like the love of romeo and juliet. her mother worked for shield with her brother, and her father worked with hydra. it was a chance encounter, but they had hit it off. or at least, her mother had thought so. it was all really part of her father's plan to woo her and get children that he could use for experimentation. he had convinced her to leave shield and join him on a 'very important' task which only meant having experiments done on her as well. this was around the time of arabella's birth, and she was growing weaker. because of the stain it had on her body, she died during the birth of their younger brother, when arabella was just three. arabella's father didn't really care. he had three worthy candidates that had great immunity since they were tested on as babies, so he continued his work, keeping the children in cells in a lab that belonged to hydra, somewhere in england, which was where the family moved to from italy after their mother died. arabella made a few friends in the lab, other experiments who had fathers or mothers working for hydra, and among them was nathaniel watson, a two years older than her, with telekinetic and telepathic abilities. eventually, by the time arabella turned ten, her eldest sibling realised they had powers that could take down most of the hydra scientists, and so they formulated a plan and managed to bust out. arabella, her two brothers, and her best friend nathaniel, along with some other kids, had managed to break out. not all of the kids made through it alive, but those closest to arabella were with her. they roughed it up for a while before they were contacted by three agents from shield. apparently, it wasn't easy for four kids with powers to hide out because they didn't have full control over them yet, so accidents happened sometimes. the agents took them to the shield base situated in london and tried to identify their families, and, from what they could remember, the hydra base where they had been located for so long. when they got there, it had all vanished without a trace, and the whereabouts of arabella's father remained unknown. nathaniel's parents both died in the scuffle of them all trying to escape. they were then contacted by a man who claimed to be their uncle -- their mother's brother -- and he hadn't known that she had kids. he had only known that she ran away and he never knew for what reason, and he was unable to track her down. now seeing that he had a niece and two nephews, he readily took them in, choosing to be their guardians, while another agent chose to adopt nathaniel. the kids were given a normal life after that -- or at least, shield tried to do that. they went to normal school in england, but they had to report back to shield headquarters every two days to brush up on their powers so they could learn to control it.
present
once arabella graduated high school, she wanted to pursue a career in dance as she started to learn once her life started to get back on track. her brother headed off to america for college and work, while arabella headed off to bucharest on scholarship to a brilliant classical dance school. her little brother is currently still finishing his last year of high school. while in bucharest was when she met bucky. they eventually grew to be very close, often sharing meals in each other's apartments, or just talking after a long day, and it came to the point where bucky started to feel like he could have a normal life. there were always moments when things would take a slight romantic turn before one or the other would back away, not wanting to drag the other in their messed up life considering neither knew that the other had powers. Eventually, after a nght of bad chinese take out and halfway through a movie they were watching together in her apartment, they kissed. One thing led to another and it became a night full of longing and passion. The next day, things were supposed to be good for the both of them. He had gone out to get a few errands done while she was still asleep and that was when he noticed his face all over tabloids, accused for something he didn't do. Arabella didn't see him after that, and she had no clue what to think. She was taken in for questioning by a few agents that asked her all she knew about bucky, and she kept her mouth shut, but she also learned a bit about his past while she was being questioned. when she returned to her apartment, she kept hoping to see him, but the day never came. it had been almost two weeks that she went without seeing him, and suddenly her door was knocked down. three guys had come in trying to take her away, but her powers acted of their own accord, as a result of self defense, and the three men were basically fried by the end of it. arabella immediately contacted her uncle, who it turns out, had been trying to call her, to tell her that her elder brother was missing and his phone was unreachable and untraceable. so, arabella knew something was up and that he was possibly taken, just like she almost had been moments ago. she didn't waste time in packing what she could to try and search for him. before she got the chance to leave though, she was contacted by steve rogers — and to her surprise, bucky was with him — and she was asked to help with the ongoing disagreement of the accords. she stepped in, wanting to help, and was reunited with Bucky but they didn't have the time to discuss their relationship. After being imprisoned, Bucky and Steve broke Arabella and the others out and took them to Wakanda to hide away, and how the relationship develops from there is yet to be seen.
