Name: Memory
Ability: From a young age Christiana was able to remember just about everything that ever crossed her path. Anything that she ever saw/heard/read/etc, she could remember in excruciating detail. This can sometimes make her really depressed, remembering the worst moments in her life bit by bit. This also would probably make her seem like a nerd of some sort, but she doesn’t tell anyone unless she really trusts them, which has yet to happen.
History: As previously stated, Chrissy has had this ability all her life. Everyone was amazed and always gave her a ton of attention for it. After a few years, she hated it, and to this day she still does. She doesn’t feel it gives her any challenge when it comes to school and that she can never earn her grades really fairly. Christiana likes to pretend she doesn’t have this skill. She will still take notes in class, double check her work, and study almost every day. However, in other aspects of her life, this can come in very handy sometimes.

Name: Artistic (Writing)
Ability: Christiana has always been extremely creative. Her mind is constantly dreaming. Anything around her can give her inspiration for writing. She also has a knack for the little details, and can describe them just as easily as she can see them. Reading books has been a great help for developing this skill, seeing examples of perfect punctuation/grammar/etc, and amazing story lines. But, practice has made (almost) perfect for her. She’s always willing to learn more, and believes there's always more she can learn. This skill helps her some when it comes to writing in school, she can get her ideas together faster, and normally finish the assignment quicker.
History: When she was little, Christiana’s mom would read to her every day, and it didn’t take long at all before she was pulling the books off the shelves by herself. She eventually started drawing/writing her own little storybooks. They all started very beginner-like (lots of mistake and such) and her talents grew over time. Now she writes short stories/fanfictions pretty regularly. People have called her “Verbally Artistic” because of these skills. She’s not very good with drawing, designing, dancing, etc (though she normally develops ideas for these as well) she cannot seem to express them like she can writing. She very much enjoys these activities, and wishes she was any level of decent at them.

Name: People
Ability: Christiana is really good when it comes to understanding other people. They always felt comfortable in confiding their deepest thoughts and/or feelings to her. She can normally (not always) tell when someone has the whole ‘fake smile’ act going on, or just when they’re upset for some reason. She’s an excellent listener, and can really get into when someone is talking to them. She seems to feel exactly what they’re feeling. Normally she always knows what to say and when to say it. If only she could help herself like that.
History: Once her mother passed away and her father went into a depression, Chrissy had a lot to deal with. Her, her family, and friends of her family, they all had many conflicting emotions. She learned every aspect to every one of them. She was there for her brother because nobody else could be. She had to be able to understand the feelings of, and explain them to, a child. As time went on, Chrissy became better with these skills, and once she entered High School, more experiences allowed her to use these skills in even more ways.
