Ability: Freezing
Background: Horikita Maki was born in Tokyo, Japan where she had a relatively happy childhood. She has a harmonious relationship with her parents and her siblings. It can even be said that she had a "normal" family life. But that could be because her ability did not manifest until she was already a teenager.
She was in high school when she learned about her ability and it was a bit odd how that happened. After having another bizarre dream involving white things, she woke up to find her bed covered with a thin layer of ice. That in itself is unusual enough, but more so because it was summer.
Although this discovery frightened her somehow - what if she accidentally freezes people and cause hypothermia? - she decided that the best solution would be to try to control it. She tried to experiment while trying to conceal it from her family. Somehow a small part of her is afraid of how they will react when they find out.
Somehow she feels guilty hiding such a huge secret from her family so she decided to move away. She applied for scholarships to schools abroad and prepared herself by learning the English language. She was accepted at NYU and she's currently in her 2nd year (22 years old) under the Liberal Studies program. She's working part-time as a cinema attendant. During some weekends she'd also teach English to other Japanese in the area, mostly adults. Her salaries plus some the money she received from her parents helped her get by with the daily expenses.
She has to touch the object to be able to freeze it. It wouldn't work without direct contact. And her body temperature doesn't change whenever she freezes objects. She has managed to control this ability and she can even freeze objects without breaking them. Despite this, she is rather reluctant to touch people because she's afraid of causing hypothermia. She may not be quite generous with hugs, but she makes up for it by not distancing herself - emotionally - from people, or at least trying not to.
