Tripper

Biography
Tripper doesn't recall much of her former life. Vague memories of living among a commune, happy and free with her hippie kin, are all she has left. After the virus struck, Tripper found herself rooted in a thick forest of Maple trees. Taking a few days to figure out what she was doing, Tripper eventually used her powers to uproot herself and wander to civilization. Upon seeing  the collapse of society, and the sudden division of survivors, Tripper found herself wanting no part of the new world. She would instead stay on the outskirts with the other loners, her new and free kin. She can be found in her forest, usually surrounded by a small number of tame beasts.

Powers & Personality
Tripper's Nature Manipulation has, of course, been obvious to her from the start, what with it effecting her very DNA. It seems her powers are basically non-destructive, with extreme plant and animal empathy, as well as the ability to move and shape plants to her will. If an animal is already "alligned" with someone, her powers have little to no effect.

By complete accident she discovered her High Empowerment. Suffering from post-apocalyptic depression, and finding that she could grow natural hallucinogens and other  highs, she took to injesting as many natural drugs as she could force herself to. When she found that her ability to grow plants and communicate with animals dramatically improved, there was no going  back.

Because  of all this, she  comes across as a "wandering monk" type, always speaking in  a soft, dreamy tone. She empathizes and  understands people very well, but not a lot could be said for her "book smarts." Despite this, Tripper is a good-natured,  happy plantpersonthing, who just happens to love going on long "spirit trips" with her naturally made product.
