More in Depth?
Personality:
Missy appears to be confident, cocky and witty. She likes attention and finds it easy to get on with most people as long as they don't annoy her too much. She is fun loving and a little wild, willing to try almost anything wrong, she had few boundaries and finds it rather hard to conform, often she will do things just to shock and get a rise out of people.
She is deep down insecure and incredibly lonely, she finds it hard to let people get close as it feels like anyone she really cares for goes away in some way or another. She hides her nerves behind a mask of bravado and confident flirting.
If she does find she can trust you enough to call you a friend she will defend you to her own death. she has lost people and knows what that pain is like so she would fight for all she was worth to keep those she cared about safe.
She loves animals and music and hates her powers.

What I can Do and Can't
Powers:
Missy's powers revolve around memory. She can read memories of anyone, seeing anything they can remember in their entire life. For this to work though she has to have physical contact and cannot control it. She can brush skin with a random person on the street and her mind is assaulted with all of their memories in mere seconds.
She can manipulate memories and even implant fake ones, but this takes great concentration and constant physical skin to skin contact, it puts a great strain on her and can cause nose bleeds.
If threatened she has been known to be able to cause a searing pain through a persons brain, sort of like a psychic wave, though it had only happened a few times and seems to be more of a defense mechanism.
She has little control over her powers and tries not to use them preferring to just pretend they don't exist.
Abilities: Missy can fight in hand to hand combat though with her powers this can be difficult, she is trained in American kick boxing and can defend herself.
Weaknesses: her powers can leave her weak and disorientated when used, also sometimes receiving too many memories at once can give her a kind of over load to her own memory. Her powers only work with skin to skin contact, so don't touch and you're OK
What Happened to Me
Missy was born in England, in the south west of the country in a small tourist area near the coast, her mother was a single woman, Missy's father having decided being a parent was far too much responsibility. She lived happily enough with her mother, her younger brother Adam was born when she was three, again no real father figure in her life.
Things went well, Missy was shy and often bullied at school, her brother developed behavior problems, he was difficult and violent, it put strain on the young family with visits to doctors and specialists. different medications. There was little attention left for Missy at the end of the day, but she didn't mind she often preferred to be on her own.
Things didn't get much better when her brother was eleven and Missy fourteen he was sent away to live in a group home for children with problems, leaving Missy and her mother alone. The damage had been done really. Missy was with drawn and often depressed, she skipped school and started drinking and smoking cannabis as well as self harming. Her mother noticed the signs and together they got help. Missy had counseling and things got better, her and her mother became close and things seemed perfect enough.
When she had turned seventeen she went to a party and her drink was spiked by a man. She felt ill and confused and in this confusion he managed to get her alone and attacked her. When his hand touched her arm to try and force her to the ground though he fell to the ground in pain gripping his head. Missy wasn't aware but this was the first manifestation of her powers. She found after this it gradually got worse, she could see peoples memories, she thought she was going crazy but after speaking to her mother she learned that her father had also had some abilities. He had been a telepath and it had been part of the reason he had left. being able to hear peoples thoughts had driven him to seek a life of solitude.
Missy tried to keep going, she wore gloves and long sleeved tops and after leaving school she found it easier to connect with people, though only really on a superficial level, she would flirt and have fun, but not letting anyone close.
On her eighteenth birthday her brother turned up unexpected at their home, he came into the house and all seemed fine, he was polite and sweet, all the things he had never been growing up. After waiting for the two to drop their guard he attacked Missy's mother, blaming her for all of his problems he stabbed her to death with a pocket knife and then turned to Missy, again her powers kicked in causing him to collapse in pain and black out. Missy held her mother as she bled to death on the kitchen floor and was still there cradling her body when the police arrived. Her brother was arrested and put away for murder and Missy was left alone. Being 18 she was classed as a responsible adult and left on her own.
Never having been on her own before it was scary, she had to live in the big wide world. She found an advert for a room mate in a town near her home and moved in with the small amount of possessions she could take. She soon grew close to her room mate Beth. she was a sweet girl who liked to read and enjoyed music. She encouraged Missy to try new things and got her involved in a kick boxing class where Missy excelled and found she had a natural talent for it. They were soon best friends spending a lot of time together. They would party together and go on double dates with guys they met. Missy told her about her powers and despite her shock at first Beth believed her and didn't seem bothered by it.
After a night out together they returned home and both went to their rooms and fell asleep, in the morning Missy went to Beth's room to wake her and found she was dead, no sign of anything wrong and calling an ambulance the cause of death was described as natural, her heart had just stopped beating, adult death syndrome they had called it. Missy had lost everything she cared about and at the age of 18 she packed her things and emigrated to America. She moved from place to place trying to keep to herself and not cause trouble. She worked as a singer in bars earning money.
After one performance though it seemed she had managed to attack attention and bumped into a man who abducted her and took her to a place full of others similar to her with powers where they conducted tests on them.

writing sample:
This morning Gwen had left the Sharm family area as soon as she could. she had dressed quickly in some black jeans and boots with a ripped guns n roses teeshirt and a leather jacket. running her hand through her long bright red hair and then she had ran off into town. Mainly it was because she knew she would be in for some kind of talking to from one of the members of the pack. She knew it was because they cared but she really didn't feel like she needed a lecture. She knew she had a problem and she suffered from moments of weakness. She couldn't help it. Last night had been a bad night. She'd gone out and come back high again, not the first time since she had joined them and most of them knew now she had a problem she was trying to recover from, but it was difficult.
Gwen walked through the mall not really thinking about where she was going or what she was doing. She could smell people and hear conversations from inside the stores. She was tired and on a come down, a foul mood and being weak didn't help her to be able to block out anything. She felt as though she were being beaten in the head every time some child shouted or someone dropped something on the ground. She stopped and closed her eyes taking a deep breath to try calm herself, but all this did was fill her mouth and nose with the smells of bacon, coffee, and muffins. She was practically salivating as she stood there in the middle of the crowded mall. She walked a little closer to one of the Cafe's in the Mall. They were serving hot sandwiches and coffee with muffins, she could see people sat biting into that lovely food and she heard her own stomach growling.
Dipping her hands into both her pockets she pulled out a meager amount of change and her lighter, she had no money at all. She was going to go hungry.
