Power:
✘ Hallucikinesis | Illusion Manipulation: User can create, shape and manipulate illusions, causing targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are.
Specifics
+ With her powers, she can generate various types of illusions,
+ She can create tiny and detailed worlds and alter the way she or her target is perceived.
+ Her targets can be forced with overlapping hallucinations, causing several negative symptoms.
+ Targets can experience their worst fears.
+ If the illusion is powerful enough, it can literally convince the brain to copy anything that happens to the victim within the illusion.
+ Pain illusion is the ability to trick an individual's mind into thinking they are in physical pain. Though it has no physical effect on the body, the pain is quite effective to put a target down no matter the size.
Limitations
- For starters, in order for her powers to work, she has to be within a ten feet radius of them. This also counts if she wants to keep the illusion going.
- And for her illusions to be very powerful, the targets have to look her in the eye. All it takes is one glimpse and they're caught up in a very powerful illusion.
- In order for her to make her targets feel, taste and smell in the illusion, she has to be touching them. Otherwise, they will only see and hear things that she wants them too.
- Psychics are all but immune to her power.
- Reflective surfaces show the true world. This could be a mirror or even the eyes of another.
- Lalisa is always in the illusions. Yes, she can disguise herself in them, but if she has created a tiny world to entrap a person in, it also means she is suspended in them too. If she leaves it, the world only lasts for a little while without her there to hold it up.
- If you step out of the world she created, which could be just the room or her radius, and she's not with you to move it along as you go, then it starts to shatter. Literally, cracks will appear.
- Her illusions can become addicting to targets if used too much and too frequently. It has driven people insane.

Background:
Lalisa cannot remember a lot of her early years. Just a few glimpse, sounds, smells touches. Nothing solid. She didn't know where she was born or who her parents were or how shot to the place that she had been entrapped in for years, until way later on in life.
All she remembers is the small box of a room with no windows, a bed, a toilet and a door that was always locked until the "stick people" as she called them, came and took her out to do her job. And what was her job you may ask? To use her powers for others, give them whatever they wanted in the form of an illusion because reality just wasn't doing it for them. Some people wanted to see their loved ones who they could not let go, some people wanted to just feel an experience some things they never would, and those could be awful things, and some people wanted a show. And Lalisa was their performer, she'd perform day and night for clients before being sent back to her room.
There were so many different kinds of people that came by, from different places in the world and from different backgrounds There were good people who were sad and there were people who were just bad. But no matter who they were, none of them wanted to help her escape and if she said anything out of line, she would get punished by the Stick People. Stick people because she was hit with a stick when she misbehaved. And it left nasty marks and scars. But none too obvious, after all, she had a job to do and no one liked looking at a beaten child. She was meant to be aesthetically pleasing to look at as her illusions were, after all, they dolled her up and made her do her job.
The only other time she was allowed out of her room was to go to the "rec room". They allowed her to play with another child there, his name was Opal. He had the power to make people feel whatever emotions he pleased, he reeled in nearly as much money as her. And to get her illusions to be varied and stronger, Lalisa was allowed to watch videos online. After all, it was impossible to create an illusion of something she never heard or seen before.
This lasted for a long time. Oh they were never short on clients. Lala's illusions could be … addicting. Sometimes clients would get violent and the Stick People would have to drag them out. But that was fine, she could bear it..that was … until one day she went to the Rec room and Opal was not there. She knew better than to ask, but she did anyone. He had died, they said, of sickness.
It split her heart in two to hear that. Then the years passed, she had never felt more alone. Until she was fourteen going on fifteen and found a video about a girl around her age. She was sassy and funny and such a cool person that Lalisa instantly began to like her. Through these videos, she learned broken English and found some happiness. This peace did not last long, one night, she heard gunshots and yelling and suddenly the door swung open and she was grabbed. It was one of her clients, the junkie who first got violent and was kicked out. She kidnapped her and locked her in his basement at home. He just needed to the fake world that she gave him for peace of mind.
Her living conditions were worse than the Stick People's. She was clearly an addict and a dangerous one. She often let her friends who were just as bad get the experience too. It lasted for months until one day she finally built up the courage to do something about her situation. So, she waited for the chance to strike and she did, first attacking him with a case, grabbed the keys and unshackled herself before running for the exit. The woman woke up and overpowered her, but frustration, anger and the need to survive took Lala over. She simulated killing this woman over and over and over again in her mind until she broke.
She then escaped and alarmed the neighbors. They called the cops and Lalisa was taken away. That was the week she learned about herself. Her full name was Lalisa Marie Vazquez, she was born in Valencia, her mother was a Thai-Spanish drug addict who sold her own daughter to support her drug addiction and died of an overdose a year later, her father was in jail for theft and she had six older siblings and the only one left to be her guardian was her paternal grandmother. But before all else, she asked to Opal Nunez's grave. It turned out he had lived, he had just been sold but eventually ran away. He refused to Lalisa, wanting the traumatic past to stay in the past.
She went to live with her grandmother in her small cooped up house. Lalisa learned that she had a mess of a family and assimilating into society was much harder than she thought. Her main comfort was watching the videos of that one girl. Cat Lovelace. But one bad at school, the teacher picked on her, calling her dumb basically so Lalisa put an illusion on her and all the kids that bullied her. It caused an uproar with the parents and staff, she was a freak and dangerous freaks like her were not allowed in their school and small town. She was shunned by all but her granny.
Then, not long after, she was sent to trial for her actions. It was jail or it Mosshurst. She chose Mosshurst.
