Exercise One: Character Profile

For this exercise, we've been instructed to "chat" with a fellow N190 friend via Facebook to compile information we will be using to construct a character profile. We were told to exaggerate as much or as little as we like. Here is my character profile:

Name: Kristi Cline
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Superpower: Psychokinetic Saxophone abilities; can control matter when playing saxophone
Loves: Music
Dreams: Graduate IUPUI, Move Away From Indiana

Kristi Cline was given a special gift the day her mother gave birth to her; as the legacy was passed down yet another generation. Kristi was granted the gift of musical superpowers that would later in her life result in musical crime-fighting. Kristi was born in Galveston, Texas in the same hospital room and delivered by the same nurse as her mother; it had to be this way. There were always certain protocol and procedures for people like Kristi and her mother; people with abilities. By the time Kristi's mother was giving birth to Kristi; the nurse had grown very aware of the mother's musical abilities and turned rogue, and even jealous towards her mother. The nurse contacted a wise evil-doer who suggest that she kidnap the newborn child; who will guarantee to inherit musical powers from her mother, and use them to her own financial and successful gain.
As Krsti grew up in the mountains of Chile, she immediately found love with the saxophone. She mastered the instrument at age 5. It wasn't until age 10, when she realized that she could control physical object by using her mind in combination with playing the saxophone. Kristi had psychokinetic powers when she played the saxophone and she practiced these skills for years until she grew quite proficient at it; boasting even one time she had stack four vehicles on top of each other in an abandoned junkyard. The day came when Kristi realized that the mother she knew of was nothing short of a life of lies. When she uncovered the truth; she challenged the "nurse" mother in an epic duel of musical psychokinetic magnificence in which Kristi remained as the victor.
Kristi was reunited with her mother and immediately began training in the studio. Her mother had a power a psychokinetic ability when she sang; controlling objects with her voice. Kristi also came to learn that she had a brother. Her brother harnessed the ability of psychokinesis while he played his drums; controlling objects mentally combined when his drums are played. The three, together, learned that their power of psychokinesis no longer worked. The family was baffled by this and agreed to send Kristi on a mission to discover a clue or an answer. An answer that would give the family their abilities as a group.
They decided that they should move to Indiana, and they should keep a low-profile in the community while they search for this answer. Her mother agreed that she would attend IUPUI and go for the Bachelor of Science in New Media Degree. She knew by doing this; Kristi would have all of thes answers in the world.
