Every OC needs a superpower, right ??
   Katey is, for lack of a better world, partially solar powered.Â
   Her body takes in energy from the Sun during the day, and stores it for various uses. At first, she noticed that sometimes her fingertips or the ends of her hair were glowing and was curious about it --- but no doctor could explain it. Those were the first signs that something was different all of a sudden. Soon, with deep concentration, she learned to control the light coming from her body. She could make her hands glow, then her arms, then during one particularly hard period of meditation, her entire body could emit light! One day out of the blue, she couldn’t do it anymore. She looked out the window and saw there was a Solar Eclipse ongoing; she determined it must be the Sun giving her this strange new gift. Upon accidentally giving a radiation burn to a dear sister, she determined it was not just regular light coming from her body, but genuine sunlight.
   A few years have passed, and she has learned to emit this sunlight from her body in specific forms and shapes. She likes to create cute little glowing mice and hummingbirds as companions. They seem to have a mind of their own while they play with her, but she can also ask them to protect her when she is afraid. To touch one is to touch the Sun, so they would severely burn most people who come into direct contact with them. If need be, she can emit Sunlight directly from her skin, so to touch Katey directly would also cause harm, but she does not have complete control of this power quite yet.
   Her daily use of this power is to give herself light when she needs it, to create her mice and hummingbirds mostly for fun, and to replenish her energy stores. In her younger years, due to her illnesses Katey was often very weak and tired throughout the day. She says this ability is a gift from God to overcome that. As for offensive capability, if Katey were of the mindset, she may be able to project the sunlight in the form of a laser to cause burns, but Katey is not a fighter, and she does not wish to harm people. The thought of this capability has crossed her mind, but she has never tried. In terms of defensive capability, her mice and hummingbirds may attack an aggressor to cause burns, but they are not strong enough to entirely incapacitate anything, and she can use her sunlight in concentrated doses from her skin to burn anything touching her. She cannot use this gift during Solar Eclipses, and she can only use the gift as much as she has sunlight stored in her body. If she were to use it all night long, she would run out of light in the deepest dark of the night, before dawn, but during the day, it auto-replenishes so long as she is outside.
