Distinguishing Mannerisms: Crossing her arms when thinking, frustrated, or just when she has nothing else to do with her arms. Cracking her knuckles. A crooked grin.
Distinguishing Marks or Features: Scar on her leg, from ankle to knee, from when she skidded into home base while playing baseball in the street when she was little, and her knee smashed the glass bottle they were using AS home base.
Powers: Molecular manipulation of her own body that results in the random manifestation of various superpowers.
Riley has a permanent morphogenic field around her DNA. When she activates her power, she undergoes a random transformation where all the cells in her body change completely, and for about ten to fifteen minutes at a time she will have a completely random power (although many that she manifests are powers belonging to famous super-heroines in Marvel U), anything from talking to plants to telekineses. When the time is up, she changes back to a seemingly completely normal baseline human.
She can activate the change maybe two or three times in a given day if she takes a break in between each time, but it leaves her exhausted. In time, she may be able to draw out the time she can maintain having a power, or increase the number of times in a row that she can activate the change, but she will never have conscious control over what power she pulls up, unless someone else mucks about with her DNA and figures out a way for her to control it.
Sometimes a power will be useful, and sometimes it will be completely useless. That's why she's called herself "Knucklebones," from the name of an old game that was a precursor to dice games that involved tossing the knuckle bones of a sheep. Every time she uses her power, it's a roll of the dice.
However, due to the extremely unreliable nature of her power, she tends never to use it unless absolutely necessary, therefore she has an assortment of simple weapons, mostly modified sports equipment, such as an aluminum baseball bat, small knives, and smoke bombs and home-made napalm grenades, as well as martial arts techniques learned while studying Aikido and kendo for over half her life at a local dojo. By all appearances, unless extremely desperate, she appears to be one of those self-taught, home-grown, power-less vigilantes.
