Saki Vaughn

Name: She doesn't know, but she calls herself Saki Vaughn.

Gender:female

Age: She says it's something between 14 and 20 years, but doesn't really remember.

Appearance:
Saki personally thinks that she had looked different before loosing her memory. At least, she says, the colour scheme must have been different.
She might be right, in some ways, she doesn't look like this was ever supposed to be her:
Her hair is a dirty gray, the kind of gray you can't call majestic white anymore, because it's too dark, but it's not black either. She also seems to be quite tanned, but somehow still manages to look like she lacks colour. Her overall colour scheme looks like someone took an eraser and tried to erase all of her colours alltogether, but failed to do so. The only thing about her that's different are her eyes. Their sandy, golden brown colour makes them stick right out. When she uses her power, the white in her eyes becomes black, and the brown fades to white. It looks really creepy...
She keeps her hair short and it's always a little messy, except for two streaks on each side of her face. They reach down to her breast and even become a little more black at the ends.
She's very small, around 5'4'' and looks frail. If you look closer, though, she's not really that delicate, but rather stringy and even a little muscular.


Clothing:
As she doesn't care about clothing or looks overall she just wears whatever seems comfortable and good for running. She can often be seen wearing sweat pants or loose skirts. She doesn't like short-sleeved shirts, and wears sweatshirts most of the time, rarely T-shirts too.

Craft:

Saki's craft is a sort of memory manipulation. She can't change memories alltogether, but can make people forget about everything she chooses. It's not clear if she surpresses the memories/ feelings of said persons or if she erases them alltogether. The more important the information was, though, the harder it will get for her to erase it, and the more likely it is for the person to remember it, even though it might take some time (for example, if someone had a kid and she would try to erase it completely from their memory, it is possible that she can't erase all of the memories/ feelings tied to it/ leaves clues of its existance behind).
She can also, with some effort, make them forget about abilities, but only for a short amount of time (never longer than a few days). In that case, the ability doesn't become her ability, she can't use it.
The amount of time she keeps the abilities/ feelings/ memories from returning to the people she took them from is up to her, but if the thing she took is important, she can't keep it from returning to them forever.


Weapon of Choice:
None, as she's not much of a fighter. If she has to fight though, she's usually with using any kind of gun or knife.

Personality:
Saki's quiet and doesn't smile a lot, but always has a provoking gleam in her eyes. She can be really headstrong and stoic, and most likely wouldn't admit it if she needed help with anything, or if she was defeated by someone. In that case, she starts sulking easily and tends to bear a grudge against the person who, from her point of view, humiliated her. The truth is that she really would like people to help her with some things (like teaching her how to read again, everytime she does that by herself, her brain seems to block every try she makes off), but asking makes her feel pathetic.
Since she had lost the ability to speak for some time after her sudden memory loss, she doesn't understand metaphors or irony very well, and may have problems with difficult or long words.
Sometimes she can be seen doing things that make no sense, like staring at the pages of a book, even though she can't read, or standing in a hallway watching a door (or her feet, or the wall, or a window, or....) with a very concentrated look on her face (sometimes she's also humming some sort of melody that nobody really seems to know). That means that she feels like some of her memory is returning to her. Mostly, she just stops after some time. If someone talks to her during that time though, she won't remember. It's like she's in a trance.

Family:
She doesn't know who they were, or if she even has one. She acts like she doesn't care, but it's really hard for her not to remember them.
She likes making childish stories about them up, like that her father is the prince of a beautiful island, and he and her mother are desperately searching for her. Everyone, including her, knows that they're not true though.

History:
Saki seems to have amnesia, or something else that keeps her from remembering her past.
The first thing she remembers is waking up in the snow, near a big river. Around her were big houses and the sky was grey. She was bleeding from somewhere in her face, but she didn't care much. Later she'd learn that the town was London, and she took on the name Saki Vaughn randomly, by listening to the conversations of people and picking out the names that sounded interesting to her. That's why her first name is japanese.
She first discovered her power when stealing food (she was living on theft back then, seeing as she didn't know what was wrong with taking what she needed). She got scared when she noticed she was being followed, and wished nothing as much as for that theft just being forgotten. She didn't think it was her doing that the baker she had stolen from actually did forget. But the incidents kept on piling up until she decided she couldn't keep ignoring the fact that she wasn't normal.

Extra:
Sakis loss of memory also involves a loss of basic things like reading, writing or, for some time, speaking. The ability to speak returned to her, but many other remain lost.
She has a theory on how she forgot:
When she was in London, something must have activated her craft without her knowing, maybe some sort of strong emotion or pain. During that time, she might have been unconscious, or otherwise unable to control it, so it just went on erasing her own memories.
It's just her theory of what could have happened though. Another one includes her life sucking so much that she chose to end it herself, but instead of commiting suicide, she simply erased all the memories of her old life.
No matter from what point she sees it, she's pretty sure her memory loss was her fault somehow.
If it was, then it was her single greatest masterpiece.
… On a completely different note, she's also a very fast runner and quite good at athletics. It came with running away from the people she stole from.
