Name: Elizabeth Chang
Alias: Shrieker
AKAs: Betty
Physical Description
Hair: Lng, raven-black, often in a loose ponytail with long bangs.
Eyes: Light brown
Ethnicity: Chinese/Latin American (Chinese-American mother, American-Mexican father)
Age: 17
Build: Tall, athletic curves, 5'8''
Uniform: As a member of a junior X-Team, Shrieker wears boots, pants & a tight fitting sleeveless jacket over a sport's bra, all of the typical X-Team style and motif
Personal Style: Betty favours a bit of a punk rck look with large boots, tight torn grey jeans, shirts, tank-tops or t-shirts that usually have a band logo or design on them, and more often than not a black leather jacket.
Psychological Description
Personality: Shrieker II, contrary to her power set and in contrast to her boyfriend Danny, is a very quiet person. Not in demeanour or attitude, which is really rather confident and mildly brusk, but in the fact that she doesn't talk. Or at least, very VERY rarely does. She's perfectly capable, and quite eloquent and intelligent, she just doesn't tend to speak unless absolutely necessary. She finds she can say anything that really needs saying with an expression or gesture, especially if Danny is around to interpret, should such a thing need be done. The understanding is that she must speak often and openly with Danny at least, it just must only be in private. Sometimes she can be seen to be doing so from a distance, if no one else is in earshot. This is for no unusual reason at all, she just grew up with a natural level of innate stoicism, but Danny is obviously a very special exception. She is fiercely loyal to her closest friends; Danny, Alex and Eddie, but can be stand-offish with others. Not cold or rude, she doesn't really have a problem with people so long as they don't make a nuisance of themselves, she just prefers a comfortable personal distance between herself and anyone other than her nearest and dearest.
Relationships: Betty gets on great with both her parents, Shauna Chang and Felix Hernandez (they never married, and chose to give Betty her mother's name). Contrary to her, her father is quite a loud, chatty person, often accused of being a loud-mouth, but by all accounts a lovely person. He was a student at Xavier's school once upon a time also, able to emit powerful sonic screams from his mouth. She adores her tight little circle of friends; Danny, Alex and Eddie. Especially Danny, who she is hopelessly in love with. They aren't openly saccharin and disgusting with it, with all the PDA and what-not, but it is clear they are sickeningly devoted to each other. She is relatively close to Eddie's cousin Elsie Bishop, at least compared to anyone else in the school amongst who she has the occasional acquantance; that's who she goes to if she needs girly advice or chats. Usually quite one-sided chats, but Elsie's pretty understanding about the whole thing.
Powers & Abilities: Shrieker II has the ability to generate and/or manipulate sound waves, vibrations and oscilations. She can create sound on all levels of all spectrums, or dampen them. Most notably this includes producing piercing sonic screams or whistles with her mouth, or creating sonic vibrations and oscilations with her hands or finger-tips. In truth, she can actually use any and every cell in her body to produce these phenomena, including the sound-absorbing and dampening effect she can employ with enough focus and effort. Due to her powers, her own hearing is simply incredible, and she can control its level of sensitivity at will; its almost more as though she actually just 'senses' sound with her whole body, like some kind of sonar or tuning apparatus.
Weaknesses: It is unclear why Betty chooses not to speak except but to a chosen few (her parents, Danny... that's pretty much it). Initially, it was due to a lack of confidence in control of her abilities, but her skills with them now are much improved. Most assume now that it is a habit she simply can't break.
Skills: Shrieker II has had rudimentary combat training as a junior X-Team member.
Equipment: Shrieker II's protective X-Team uniform comes equipped with all the usual little gadgets, widgets and do-dads, including a communicator.
Background: Elizabeth Chang born in China Town, New York. Her father had been a student at Xavier's school, but also a semi-professional singer performing around the city. That was where he'd met Betty's mother, Shauna, a third generation Chinese American helping run her family's bar in China Town.
Her powers manifested when she was 8, and though she was once a bubbly, chatty child, she quickly learned to stay quiet as much as she could because she couldn't always control the sounds she made. Her parents never hated or feared her for what she is, on the contrary her father couldn't have been prouder and encouraged her to exercise and practice her gifts as much as possible. She was 11 when it became clear she needed more help than he could offer alone, however, as he had never been the most focused and responsible of students in his own days at Xavier's school. She was offered a place at the school on a legacy basis.
She met who would become 2 of her best friends in life on that first day; Alex Mahroufi and Danny Treborn... she may just have loved him from the moment he first said hello to her. But it took several years of uncertainty before he finally admitted he liked her, and she interrupted him with a quick, awkward kiss to let him know she felt the same. They've been together ever since. Eddie had joined the group not long before that and had been the one to really notice how Danny looked at Betty (maybe Alex just hadn't noticed the change over the last few years, the frog in the boiling pan perhaps), and instigated the teasing that pushed Danny to bite the bullet.
The four of them have a band, 'The Devils Here', that gig in the city. Betty is also training as a junior X-Team member, and excelling very well thanks to her practical approach and attitude, in contrast to the kind of student her father had been.
