App for Little Hades

[coercive]

This app will contain some spoilers for the movie Logan, but they are kept to a minimum. I looked and didn't see anything about waiting a certain amount of time before applying from a new canon, but if it's too soon just let me know and I'll retract my app!

💀 Character Information
Name: Laura / X-23
Canon: Logan / X-Men Universe (Movieverse, Films, WHATEVER YOU KIDS CALL IT THESE DAYS)
Canon Point: End of Logan
Age: 11
Description: Short, thin, incredibly angry. The #1 thing that everyone wonders when they first meet Laura is how someone so small can have so much feral rage packed inside them. Laura is basically an average size 10-12 year old girl who was surgically altered to be given an adamantium skeletal system. This enables her to have claws that come out from both her hands and feet. She's pretty much a tiny badass that runs around in floral sunglasses and unicorn shirts.

Physical changes: Laura's teeth will become incredibly sharp, and her canines will extend in length. She'll basically be able to tear things apart with more than just her claws now!

Powers: To make this as quick and easy as possible: Laura is a tiny and less hairy Wolverine. She can heal and has the same adamantium skeletal system. She has two claws that come out from each hand and a single smaller claw that comes out of her feet. She's incredibly feral in nature and has animalistic traits such as : heightened senses (smell, sight, etc), reflexes, agility, flexibility, and strength. She's much stronger and faster than any child her age and size has any business being and will not hesitate to kick anyone's ass.

History: Here!

Hell Status: Hell Child Newbie

What Brings Them To Hell: Laura's killed a lot of people. An insane amount of people. She doesn't necessarily feel apologetic for it either, because she thinks they were all bad people that she killed. The vast majority of kids aren't sent to hell when they die, but because Laura's kill count is pretty high up there for an 11 year old and she doesn't really care it was decided that a healthy dose of community service was needed.

The Pitch:
Look at this precious child.



You'd never guess that she was filled with anger and was capable of killing groups of men like a tiny feral warrior. And you'd definitely never think that she was able to sever a man's head, hold it in her bare little hands, and throw it at the man that's hunting her. But this precious lamb is able to do all that and more. She fights and kills what she thinks are bad people, in order to protect herself and stay alive. After having been grown and raised in a facility, Laura's still learning what's right and wrong. All she's ever known was being forced to be violent, and she's been through a hell of a lot. She was subjected to surgery when she was young in order to give her an adamantium skeleton and claws. She was pushed to attack and be a feral child, and when the switch was pulled on her program she was supposed to be terminated. But she escaped, and now she's determined to make a life for herself outside the walls of the facility she was raised in.

And if people get in the way of that, she will dismember them and put their severed heads on spikes. Because she's going to be free, and she's not going to let anyone turn her into their weapon. Laura fights for herself, and for those that need protecting.

Because this angelic child is not out only for herself. That's really what I love most about her. Despite all that she's been through, she's determined to protect all the other children that were also raised in the facility with her, as well as Logan. She could be selfish and a villain but she chooses not to.

Laura's never been allowed to express emotion until recently. She's never felt safe to feel emotions. But with Logan, she was able to find a safety net that allowed her to feel and show what she felt. As she traveled with him and got to know him, he taught her that there were emotions other than anger and fear. She didn't always have to act like a caged animal, that she didn't have to turn into the killer that she was created to be. Laura's still learning about things like free will and choice, and if she wants to stroll into a gas station and steal cans of Pringles and sunglasses? She'll do it with a smile on her face. She still needs someone to guide her through the rights and wrongs of interacting in society, but even Lucifer himself might be in danger's way trying to correct her. She isn't exactly known for her patience or her receptive responses to criticism of her behavior.

Something else she isn't known for? Talking. This little bean has a beautiful Spanish accent and she can easily switch between Spanish and English while speaking. But she doesn't really talk unless she trusts someone. It's easy to think that Laura doesn't have anything to say, but that's not true at all. She has plenty to say and lots on her mind; she's a very intelligent girl that's observant of everything around her. She just doesn't think most people are worth speaking to, because she doesn't know who she can trust. Once she trusts someone though, she'll freely state her mind and it's hard to get her to stop bossing you around. So it's probably a good idea to not let her get too comfortable around you, or else you might wind up being shouted at in Spanish by an 11 year old.

Basically: She's a strong, complex, well-rounded, and powerful Latina superhero that should not be underestimated because of her age or the fact she kills grown men that are three times her size while wearing a rainbow unicorn shirt.

Setting Fit: Laura may be young and she may have no idea how to interact with others but she's not someone that will necessarily be out of place. She's more than able to fend for herself, and isn't going to be looking for replacement parent figures. She may eventually find a mentor or people she enjoys being around, but she doesn't need someone to take care of her. She's stubbornly independent and is very curious about everything. She was just getting used to being out in the real world back home, and once she's in Little Hades she'll have a ball getting to learn about a new place. She won't really care about dying and being in a "bad" place. Her primary concern will be attempting to find Logan, and hoping to be reunited with him is something she won't let go of. It isn't healthy but even an 11 year old needs an afterlife goal.
