Tallia Derasmo

Tallia Derasmo is an original fictional character.

Background
The youngest of the adopted Derasmo children, Tallia was barely a toddler at the time of the Last Stand and only remembers growing up with Alex and Kelly as her parents. Originaly from Belgium, her biological parents gave her up to the X-Men when her powers manifested only weeks after her birth.

As the most laid-back and easy-going of the bunch, her hobbies include napping, falling asleep while watching TV, falling asleep while reading books, falling asleep in class, and sleeping in on weekends. She is nonetheless a reliable kid with a big heart and a love of good humour and companionship. She loves fairy tales and all manner of arts and crafts, has a tendency to doodle on anything within reach, and likes to play with the magnet poetry on the fridge.

Powers and Abilities
Tallia is a Beta-level mutant. Her mutant power affords her limited control over plant life of all sorts. She can speed or delay the growth of plants and seems to be able to sense their needs. This allows her to help her father select only the finest, freshest produce, in addition to maintaining a vibrant roof garden back home.

Recently, however, Tallia has shown signs of an emerging secondary mutation. A streak in her ordinarily copper red hair has started to grow in green - then one day a tiny seed pod fell out of her hair.. and then another. Though each seed pod appears to be identical to the next, with a little nurturing, Tallia can cause them to grow into a variety of different plants. She has mostly grown vegetables and fruits for her father's restaurant, but she is yet to encounter a species that she could not replicate. The full extent and nature of her powers remains unknown.
