It's Joooo with her #8. This is Mercy Summers, kiddo of Hope Summers and Gabriel Cohuelo, which makes her Caylie's little sister. :D Hope disappeared when she was a few months old, and Gabriel sucks at all things parentage, so he gave her up for adoption and ran in the other direction. Mercy's been a foster care kid since forever, and her most recent foster home is with Chloe Collins warlikewitch, who obviously didn't take the kid in out of the goodness of her heart.
Mercy has two main powers: empathic power boosting, and limited chronokinesis. Within a close-ish range, Mercy boosts any superhuman power. If she's high stress, scared or angry, she makes other people more powerful and takes away their control. Calm or neutral, her presence actually helps instead, and gives extra control as well as a boost. Mercy is incapable of turning this power off, and it's only been recently that she knows it even exists.
Her second power lets her "pause" objects or people within a range. Think Piper from Charmed, without the explosions.
Her foster mom lives nearby and is in the process of manipulating the crap out of her. Chloe actively encourages Mercy not to get along with or get attached to people at the Academy, so expect Mercy to be That Kid when she starts out. She certainly doesn't think she wants friends or other adults to connect to, but she needs them, especially given that her new mom is secretly a supervillain.
