Miscellaneous Information:
Enya loves the color: Aqua
Enya's ex goes to school with her, though they don't know it yet.
Enya has a twin brother
She has a tattoo of the number "01" in red on her left fore arm.
Style: Shequan There are several Chinese martial arts known as Snake Boxing or Snake Style (Chinese: 蛇拳; pinyin: shéquán; literally "snake fist") which imitate the movements of snakes. Proponents claim that adopting the fluidity of snakes allows them to entwine with their opponents in defense and strike them from angles they wouldn't expect in offense. Snake style is said to especially lend itself to applications with the Chinese straight sword. The snake is also one of the animals imitated in Baguazhang and Xingyiquan. The sinuous, fluid motion of the snake lends itself to the practical theory that underlies the "soft" martial arts. Enya uses Northen Style.
Enya uses a variation of Shequan. Instead of using swords or staffs, Enya uses senbon. Senbon are large needles that are often used in acupuncture. She finds that using these help disable her foe quicker, by placing them in vital areas of the body. However, Enya doesn't carry around too many of these senbon. Once they're gone, they are gone. Weaknesses: Enya has a light frame, and not much weight behind it. The girl cannot take much as far as hits go, and hates pain with a passion. She also can't do much damage, as her strikes don't have muscle behind it. Since her movements have to be fluid, breaking her flow can disrupt the process of attack. Strengths: Enya is quick on her feet, and can dance around most of her opponents. The girl is also very flexible, and she's one smart cookie. She knows where to strike on a person's body to numb different limbs and make them unusable.

History:
[/b] As to why her parents ever got together, Enya never questioned. Her mother ruled the house, and her father ruled the garage. Yun McKensie never spoke of the past, of the years before Enya and her twin brother Liam were born. Wesley McKensie only spoke about things like racing in the streets of Japan. She knew they had met in high school, had gone to prom together, and had gotten married shortly after high school. Then they had moved to Ireland, and China, and several other countries one right after the other.
Enya and her twin brother were raised in an odd little home. They traveled often, though as to why, she never knew. Her mother's job, was all that she was told. Her father raced where ever they went. Street racing at night, his beautiful expensive car. Her mother had fits when he came home hurt. Screaming in rage. Dad always had more wounds after every fight, though he never commented on it. Yun ruled the house, and only found comfort in her normal family.
Enya and her twin went to several different schools all around the world. Her parents helped each other and helped them at every chance they got. She often heard crying at night, from her mother. And her father trying to comfort her. The pale girl never got along with many kids at school, and often didn't try. She was sweet, and polite, but never overly friendly with people she thought were fake and stupid.
It was a year ago, when Enya looked like this that she decided suddenly to dye her hair. Place in contacts the exact same shade as her suddenly aqua locks. Finger nails and everything matched. Her OCD suddenly kicking in, everything had to match. Her room, her clothing, everything. Just like dear ole mum. This was when her Qi had started poking around. Enya just took it as normal and kept on going with her life. Trying her powers out whenever she had a chance.
Her parents began to fight just two months ago. Her parents had never fought before, in any point of Enya's life. So when this began while they were living in Korea, Enya was scared and shocked. Her father moved out, and Yun began the paperwork to send her children to Point Hope. Away from it all.
After Point Hope
A few months after joining Point Hope, her father arrived with news that her mother had died. She went into a bout of depression, that only her boyfriend Ternie could save her from. However, it was shortly after this that Enya received a letter from her supposed dead mother.
Her mother had faked her death, in order to get her dad to stop tailing her. Enya went to where her mother was, somewhere in the heart of China. The woman explained that she had plans for her only daughter. The plans? Well, Yun was an assassin apparently. The woman was surely crazy enough for it. So she began to train Enya in the ways of her art. Yun wasn't some girl who was trained from birth or something. Enya's mother was just crazy, and knew a few ways to kill some people by offering contracts to mafia members.
She taught Enya shequan with the senbon, and sent her on her way. Enya has never killed anyone, nor has she really wanted to go down the path her mother was on. Instead, she moved here to the Collective and started school at O'Hare. She met a nice boy over the summer, and is currently dating him. His name is Justin. She has no idea that a big piece of her high school years is all grown up, and going to the same college. [/ul]

It looks like you...forgot to put in your Nationality. It would be nice to know
Also, you listed "either or" for your handedness, which I assume to be meaning ambidextrous. So, while you put in your nationality, you may as well change your wording there too just to be fancy and official.
EDIT: How very timely of you. APPROVED!
