- Tracy

Tracy Barrett is a character in the Abnormalverse.

Tracy is a highly reclusive woman living in an abandoned apartment, using her ability to drive people out and make sure they never come back. One day, an encounter with a woman named Blake would see her slowly start to open up more, giving her the strength to leave her apartment and try to open up more. She claims that she doesn't remember much of her past, and that being with Blake has given her the motivation to find out.

Tracy is a young woman with blonde hair that's always in a mess. She's 5'7 (170cm).
 * -|Appearance=

She commonly wears clothing similar to honeybees, with her wardrobe consisting almost exclusively of black-and-yellow attire. She makes all of her clothes herself, rather than risk going outside to buy any.

Tracy generally has a stoic disposition, expressing very little and always seeming to stare off somewhere. This has caused some people who are trying to talk to her to think that she isn't listening.

Her favorite set of clothes involves a black jacket with a yellow striped shirt underneath, as well as a long, black skirt, yellow striped stockings, and yellow shoes. Tracy almost always wears a cap.

While she appears normal at a glance, Tracy has several insect-like traits which aren't immediately noticeable. For instance, her tongue is a proboscis. She can further morph to become more and more like a bee; gaining wings, antennae, an abdomen, multiple arms, and compound eyes, among other strange traits.

Personality
Tracy is completely reclusive to the extent that she secludes herself inside one room in an abandoned apartment with no company except her bees at all times. She seems to have a complete lack of focus on anything, aimlessly wandering around the enclosed space she’s placed herself into for hours at a time. She’s satisfied in this space, and wishes to never leave or be bothered, minding her own business with her insects. This lack of desire to go outside is extreme: She doesn't even bother to leave for food, choosing to gorge solely on the honey her bees produce instead. Tracy sleeps in an even tinier closet inside the apartment.

Tracy has an interest in insects and a particular obsession with bees, possibly due to her parents both having careers regarding them. Her desire to learn about bees has led attempting to study them even as a little girl. This obsession would grow into love, which Tracy expresses for all bees. She's been known to get aggressive if she sees someone harming a bee.

It seems difficult to keep Tracy's attention for long unless the topic at hand is about bees, in which case she listens attentively.

Tracy is mute, and doesn't speak to anyone at all, preferring to communicate by using gestures or her bees.

She has a phobia of riding in vehicles, and will gladly walk if it means she doesn't have to get in one. If she's forced into one, then her bees will attempt to tear their way through and get her out as fast as possible.

Friends

 * Blake Ginette - Outside of her insects, Blake is Tracy’s closest friend, having been the first person she’s willingly let into her apartment, and for a time, the only person she’s directly spoken to. Blake is the entire reason why Tracy even bothers to try and leave her home in the first place, despite the overwhelming anxiety, and get a job at Thunder Road just so she could see Blake as often as possible. The longer Tracy’s been with Blake, the more and more she’s opened up, becoming a little more confident than before. Having a protective side, Tracy won’t tolerate anyone harassing or hurting Blake, and has been known to become uncharacteristically violent towards such people. The time she spends with Blake, and the impact it’s made on her life, have culminated in her realizing that she has a crush. Tracy wants to confess that affection, as well as show how thankful she is for everything Blake has done.


 * Henry Ginette - Tracy originally attacked Henry after the latter wandered into her apartment on a dare with his friends, only to be sought out by Blake. Neither of them particularly liked the other, but as Blake’s brother, Henry’s presence was ignored by Tracy unless he stood too close, which made her nervous. Over time, however, the two warmed up to each-other. Henry is still admittedly unnerved by Tracy’s power, but he isn’t scared of her like he used to be. Meanwhile, Tracy doesn’t feel anxiety when around him, and even began to talk to him. Her speaking to someone besides Blake rattled Henry the first time, though.


 * Boston Rostami - Boston became acquainted with Tracy through Blake, after a fight broke out between Boston and Leonard Tenner, a fellow wrestler, outside of Thunder Road. Boston’s cheerfulness and outgoing personality, and especially his friendliness with Blake, caused Tracy to end up disliking him for a time. An opposite to Tracy in several regards, she couldn’t find herself able to even stay in the same room as Boston, often leaving whenever he came in. If she couldn’t do that, she would just try and ignore talking to him. Though she could almost say she hated Boston, Tracy became closer to him during the period when Blake was trying to cure his Aversion. She felt a genuine sorrow for Boston after seeing the torment he had to constantly go through, and found herself relating to Boston just a small bit. This acceptance of Boston would eventually grow into a genuine friendship between the two, to the extent that Tracy ended up assisting Boston in his gimmick during a wrestling match.


 * Kunta Kaligi - Tracy immediately became wary of Kunta due to his status as a fugitive, even after Blake began consoling him. At times, she’s even tried to talk Blake out of helping Kunta, because she feared that his presence would only cause problems for Blake. Despite that, she was able to soften up to him and even start speaking to him. Kunta still finds her a bit daunting, though.


 * Giselle Bismarck - Tracy met Giselle after taking a walk in L.A., in an attempt to prove that she had gained enough confidence to do so by herself. After becoming curious of a garden she found, Giselle discovered her, and thought she was messing with the plants. In the mishap, they fought, but came to an understanding after Giselle realized that Tracy was just pollinating them. Though Tracy is scared of her cheerfulness, she becomes better accustomed to it, often returning to Giselle’s greenhouse and working as an assistant for her.

 * -|Skills and Abilities=

Skills

 * Entomology/Melittology - Tracy is an expert in all matters related to bees and intrinsic knowledge on insects in general. Both of her parents were entomologists and hobby beekeepers, which sparked her own interest in bees in the first place. This interest would grow into obsession as Tracy would try to learn everything she could about bees, forcing herself to understand them as much as she could and building up a massive wealth of knowledge on anything related to bees. This was only furthered by the manifestation of her Abnormality.


 * Botany - Tracy is also knowledgeable on plantlife, applying it to grow various plants in her home.


 * Mastery - Due to manifesting it at a young age, Tracy's Abnormality was difficult to control. But, through years of obsession and determination, Tracy was able to completely master her own Abnormality, figuring out how to use it any situation she needed to.

Abnormality
Eclipse is the name of Tracy's Abnormality, granting her the power to transform into a swarm of bees. Since she manifested it at young age, she has had plenty of time to explore its potential. In spite of its mundane weakness against fire, Eclipse is an overwhelmingly dangerous Abnormality to face.

Bees
Tracy is capable of turning any part of her body into a mass of bees, and controlling each insect individually. She can turn into any species, and has access to wasps and ants as well, due to their close relationship to bees.

Because she isn't a single body, but rather a multitude of entities that can scatter and reform, Tracy is nearly invulnerable, and can alter or contort her body in any way she wishes. She can choose to become a single insect, a swarm, or a combination of human and insect.


 * Clothing Generation - Tracy can produce clothing made entirely from her insects.


 * Stinger Shot - Tracy is capable of firing stingers like bullets, either from her own body or from her insects.

Biokinesis
Tracy can alter the fundamental biology of her insects (and herself by extension) down to the genetic level. Her in-depth understanding of entomology has allowed her to further what she's capable of, allowing her to use this ability in any way she pleases.


 * Mitosis - Tracy's bees can rapidly split apart and duplicate themselves at any time.


 * Mind Control - Tracy created a special, mutated version of the emerald wasp, that could latch onto and alter nerve signals. With her powers, she could plant this wasp into the body of a victim and make it find its way to the nervous system, where it would release its venom. By sending commands to the wasp to manipulate nerves, Tracy can control the body of another person while dulling them to the situation at hand thanks to the toxin.

Hive Touch
If Tracy touches someone, or if her bees sting someone, hexagon-shaped holes will appear all over their bodies, and a swarm of insects will spill out of the holes. This affects every portion of the body, including internal organs. However, these holes don't kill the victim, and simply deal a great amount of pain.

The amount of time the holes last on someone is roughly equivalent to the amount of time they were touched or stung. But, because the increasing number of bees can continually sting a person from every part of their body, it becomes difficult to escape their wrath.

This is a power that warps space to create this effect. As such, Tracy's insects can sting and bite their way through any material, no matter what it is, in order to

Interstellar Overdrive
Interstellar Overdrive is the name of the power that Tracy unlocked when she surpassed her Abnormality. It is an ability that represents Tracy's downward spiral, emotionally and mentally.

The initial power Tracy demonstrates from this is being able to convert anything, whether it be matter or energy, into bees. In a simple case, the ground she stands on and the air that surrounds her will become bees, and even the light that shines on her will transform. Whenever she would walk, the kinetic energy from stepping on the ground would change into bees as well. This is such a potent ability that Tracy can even affect nonexistent things, such as images in a photograph or pain. Attacks directed at her are negated completely since attacking will turn into bees.

The bees created by this power are, in turn, "infectious". That is, they can leave Overdrive's range and contaminate everything they touch with bees.

Overdrive, upon its initial appearance, is limited it's range in that Tracy can only use it on things she touches. However, it rapidly expands without limit around her; growing indefinitely as it affects everything that gets caught inside.

This affects Tracy down to the smallest level, causing every fiber of being to be bees. Every individual particle that composes Tracy is its own bee, made of bees in turn, making Tracy an infinite number of bees that are also made of an infinite number of bees. Objectively, she's a bee in every possible way, in both a physical and esoteric sense.


 * Infestation - Best seen when not in Overdrive's range, but when making contact with the bees created from it. Tracy can "infest" anything with bees, which have variable effects. The thoughts of people will cloud with bees, words in text will change into bees, and talking about bees will cause them to flood from the mouth of the speaker.

Pyrophobia
Tracy's Aversion causes her to be especially weak to fire or extreme amounts of heat, which are the only known things that can cancel out the regenerative powers of her bees. Even a simple lighter is enough to stop her in her tracks. It's known that hot air from a recent explosion (such as from a car accident) can slow her down and cause her to suffocate, when it wouldn't do the same for others. She's about as flammable as paper.

A simple lighter or a match is capable of holding off the swarm, as they won't want to get close to it.
