personality: Shay is really really shy until you get to know her. Or until you spark her interest with a subject she really likes. Which isn't a whole lot. She spends most of her time working, playing tennis, or studying different science theories. And if she has time she will devote it to beating what ever book she got from work that day. She usually has a one track mind, and once she sets out to do something she will get it done.

On the surface she can seem a bit cold and distant. Most people peg her to be a snooty person. But really she just has trouble interacting with anyone in real life. She barely has any friends, and she doesn't really attempt to make any either. She loves solitude, and even when she goes to play tennis, she prefers facing a wall rather than another human being. After watching people for most of her life, she realized that she doesn't really like them. There are only a couple types of people that she likes to relate with.

Once you've gotten through the tight shell that she usually hides away in, there is a girl who few really get to see. She is bright, witty, and a very cheerful, loyal friend. Almost no one has seen her cry because the girl likes to keep all her negative emotions to herself. But in most cases, that makes her all the happier. Until everything comes to a boil and she has to go take a big long walk in the woods to finally burst.

detailed history: During most of her childhood her parents were constantly fighting. She thought this was normal. When her father started beating her, she thought that was normal too. It wasn't until she made a friend and visited their house that she realized that it wasn't supposed to be like that. This is where her resentment of people came from. Also her strive to be a better person then her parents were. Though to escape from the struggle to be happy she began to become emotionless. Not really caring about anything.

It barely phased her when her father died in a car accident. She just kind of went on in her room reading. This distressed her mother to the point of yelling at her every day to do something. She'd sit their straight-faced and deny her mothers request. That's when her mom dumped her on her aunt and moved out of the country. And that's also when therapy started. Shaymin hated other people worrying about her, especially when they were nice like her aunt. So she acted her way through all the tests. It's funny how easily smiles are faked.

After going to the Library practically every day she was offered a job there. And that's when she started spending all her time. She was either there or in her room reading or doing puzzles. And that's where she began to notice something weird. Although she never really cleaned her room, everything always seemed neat. Anytime she tossed something somewhere it wouldn't go just anywhere. But she really figured it out when she got frustrated while playing a game of solitaire. She tossed the deck of cards behind her only too look and see them stacked, and in the order that you'd get them in when you buy a pack.

Shaymin Maccouley had the ability to make order from chaos. Of course, she couldn't really tell anyone, who would believe her, and why would they want to know. It wasn't like she could cure cancer or anything. In fact she never really thought much of it. It was just something neat she never knew she could do. She didn't know how she got the power, it just sort of showed up. Sort of like the way she could stay calm no matter the situation.

fears: Very few. She doesn't fear death nor pain, so ultimately nothing can scare her save for a few irrational fears. Like her fear of loud noises. If she hears anything like a jackhammer or a firework she will cover her ears and run for safety. At the very least twitch and have her heart beat like a hummingbirds.
strengths: Some might consider her emotional control a strength but usually it just pushed people away so it could be either.
weaknesses: She can barely talk to people in a social setting. She isn't very strong. And if she keeps her emotions bottled up for too long she is likely to explode.
likes: Books, quiet places, long walks in the woods, watching the sun rise, lady bugs.
dislikes: Most people, her abusive parents, being told what to do, When things are out of place. (She has slight OCD, probably from her power)

facial appearance: She looks a little older than she is, with a long thin face and eyes that see beyond her years. It comes from reading so much probably.
clothing: Shay always looks like she is bundled up for winter in Alaska. She usually wears scarves, a sweater, and a hat of some sort.
build: Very petite. She barely eats enough to keep standing all day, and then she goes and works out and plays tennis.
marks/scars: She has several scars along her arms and her back from being pushed around as a kid. And she has a some freckles everywhere.
species appearance: Like a girl. OH SNAP.
powers: Able to make order from chaos.
