Electroplasm

Following a bizarre accident (while she was trying to build her own Tesla coil), Sarah McAlder found that she had been gifted, if that's the term, with a strange ability - she can project her consciousness outside of her body, in the form of a girl-shaped cloud of charged ectoplasm, what she thinks of as her "electric ghost". At first she used this ability to spy on others, giving her an edge in the traditional childhood game of gossip; soon enough, however, she discovered that she could exert control over electronic devices as well. She was found out when she went a bit far in adjusting her grades in the school computer, When Atonement heard of this, he pulled some strings to get Sarah transferred to his school. Now, along with the normal curriculum, Sarah is learning to better control her abilities as Electroplasm.

Over the course of the past few years, as she has begun experiencing menstruation, Sarah has discovered another problem - under conditions of emotional stress, she loses control of her powers, and her "electric ghost" disassociates from her body at random.

Powers (only usable in "ghost" form):
- Electrical discharges (low power, akin to touching an electric fence)
- Control over electronics
- Ability to remain unseen, but only in well-lit areas (in shadow, discharges are more noticeable)

Weaknesses:
- Powers difficult to control under stress
- Body vulnerable during excursions
- No usable powers while in her body

Motivations:
- learning to keep her "ghost" under control
- making sure her powers don't hurt anyone (she's basically a good kid)
