Love Lost

Nicole, known publicly as , a member of the Mall Cluster, is a speechless villain who means business.

Personality
Her personality is hard to understand given her muteness and comfortably in letting Snag talk for her. Before her trigger she said herself that she was screwed up.

Many people find her to be intimidating, even if she does not speak.

Love Lost is full of rage and hatred, over the death of her daughter. Due to unique bleed-through effects from her cluster, Cradle pushed Love Lost into his sociopathy, making her significantly more ruthless and cold-blooded.

Relationships
The extent of her relationships is unknown, again due to her muteness.

Everlyn
Was able to keep custody of her. She was strict with her, but loved her dearly.

Snag
Is seemingly content to let him do the talking for her.

Cradle
Tolerates him, it is unknown if she actually likes him.

Rain O'Fire Frazier
Love Lost deeply hated Rain for his involvement in the mall fire, going so far as to organize the Mathers Compound Assault in order to kill him.

Appearance
Love Lost is a tall, attractive redhead (sometimes dyed dark red brown), who tends to wear dresses that show off her figure. She'll generally wear a mask over the bottom of her face. Her varying tinker accoutrements adorn her body styled into claws and similar. Damsel appreciated her sense of style.

Emotional Manipulation
Love Lost's primary ability is an emotional manipulation power that expresses itself through a roar, she does not have much control over it and as such remains mute most of the time. It was given to her by her primary shard, Anguished Heart. When unleashed it can be particularly devastating wrecking people's emotions and driving them into a frenzy, to the point they can turn on allies. This makes her very effective against groups. This power includes a form of extrasensory perception, allowing her to sense others' emotions.

Solid objects could block the scream.

Mover power
Highly mobile, able to run on walls with little effort. This is her version of Snags ability.

Striker
Her claws were exceedingly sharp. This is her version of Rains ability.

Equipment
Her tinker ability lets her enhance her powers, specifically tinker claws that she attaches to her hands and feet. This power is courtesy of Grasping Self.

Her claws have built-in mo-cap interface, that allow her to communicate with text-messages, when necessary.

Background
She married a man named Lee and they had a daughter, Everlyn, who she loved dearly. She worked in law enforcement as a detective, where she excelled, winning an award for her work.

The marriage dissolved at least partly over arguments and resentment about her line of work, which was physically dangerous, unpredictable, and demanding of her attention. (and later hinted to be related to law enforcement in some fashion.) She was later confirmed to have been a detective. She entered a deep depression, bearing resentment towards her ex, and began to drink, but eventually rebuilt her life centered around Everlyn.

Gold Morning

Post-Gold Morning
