Ailey Jackson (Earth-513)

Pre-MHS
Ailey Jackson was born and raised in a small town in Nebraska. She has two siblings, a brother named Jessie and a sister named Lindsay. Just after turning 15 she woke up and saw a light in her room. Originally she was terrified, until she discovered the light came from a small sphere over her hand. After time she came to realize that generating the light made her dehydrated.

One night her father walked in on her at 4 AM reading a novel, and shortly after that her entire family knew about her odd ability. Though the reactions of fear and anger quickly dissipated when they realized she couldn't do much else and after her mother had made her swear never to use the ability in front of people.

Word reached her of a school of people with special abilities and she begged her parents to let her go, even though it was several states away. Eventually they relented and sent her on her way to the school.

Personality
Ailey is usually straighforward and has a tendency to rely on snark. She's short, though unlike the large amount of short tempered people, she's patient with all but a select few that get on her nerves. Because of her gift she often prefers to study in the dark and drink water, more comfortable with her own generated light than the electric lights everywhere.

Ability
The ability to generate a floating orb of light, usually silver or white in color, slightly above the size of a baseball that floats over her right hand. As she's still developing future abilities may present themselves.
