Appearance: Short and skinny, with deep bags under her eyes and an almost sickly appearance, Dillon looks as if she hasn't slept or eaten in days. Her hair is an unnatural white, her skin pale, and she is incredibly sensitive to the sun. Since her gift, she has rarely gone outside in an effort to avoid the sounds of all of the shadows and their voices. She is a bit twitchy with long, pianist fingers and runner's legs. Dillon's Necklace
Personality: Quiet and a bit skittish, Dillon obviously exists more often in another world. She talks to things that most people are not aware of, opting to hold conversations with the shadows that usually surround her rather than the people that try to divert her attention. She wants to better herself for the sake of her "friends" and listens to the advice of Paw and his companions before the advice of other people. Often, she seems completely off her rocker, but she accepts that and often, uses it to her advantage. Most people want to stay away from the crazy person. At heart, however, she is a good person, and she only wants the best for those that she cares about. Where she is not combative, Paw is incredibly brash and often a little bit cocky. He is combative where she is skittish. He is social where she is uncertain.
Abilities/Powers: Animated Shadows: The user can transform their or others shadows into living and sentient beings. As the rule of anything happening to the real body happens to the shadow, this ability may allow the user to manipulate the shadow and cause damage in reality by using it to attack. This means anything that happens to the shadow will be reflected in the true body; in short, a form of "reverse" shadow puppetry. {Even when she does not use her powers to bring forth the shadows into other people's awareness, she can hear them as if they are normal people.} Common forms for Paw
History: For as long as she can remember, shadows have been a part of her existence. They were her "imaginary" friends as a young girl: just a part of her life. She loved them dearly and treated them as if they were real people. However, the older she got, the less people seemed to understand this, and the more they began to isolate her. The only person who didn't seem to care about how "weird" she was happened to be the little boy down the lane. He grew up strange, in a world he wished he could escape.
Her parents accepted him into their family and he became her only true friend. As the nightmares got worse, and the bullying got worse, she clung to Jude as if he were her savior. At night, when she couldn't sleep, she'd curl into his bed as if he could save her from the monsters in her dreams. Even Paw liked him and let him protect her.
The older she got, the more she realized she couldn't control the shadows. They existed all around her and spoke to her, and the moment they realized she could hear them, they refused to shut up. She began to lose her grip on reality, and it was her best friend that kept her somewhat sane.
When Jude decided to go to Paradigm, Paw refused to let her stay behind. It took her some convincing, but eventually her parents agreed to let her go. They hoped that her time at Paradigm would help her to balance her powers.
