ABILITIES: Ribbon Manipulation : The user can create, shape and manipulate ribbons, thin bands of material, only of the cloth material. She can not manipulate plastic or metal ribbon.
Though she can manipulate the ribbon, she has to say what is known as a color idiom/phrase to actually get the ribbon to appear in the first place and they commonly wrap themselves around her hair in the form of a ponytail holder so that they are out of the way. They often also will work their way down to her hands and appear as ribbon bracelets just to help her keep her balance when she is walking.
The ribbons gain movement and color from Ribbon herself as her tattoo that embedded herself into her skin acts much like a hub of color and a source for the ribbons to gain their color from due to the electrical nodes that were in her body while she was sourcing the energy out into them before Dr. Richards arrival while still maintaining it's shape of scales, forcefully intertwined together by small green colored copper wire inside of the hardened scales so that hub of color remains running constantly.
How much color the ribbons actually hold once they have sprouted is solely dependent on the amount of percentage of life that Ribbon's phone has at the current time, since Dr. Richards made sure to also place a piece of freshly colored red aluminum wire into the back of Ribbon's phone during the operation. I.E if Ribbon's phone is at one hundred percent then the ribbons are vibrant and eye catching and easily noticed while if her phone is closer to or at zero percent the ribbons go unseen by others looking like nothing more than a mere accessory.
However the ribbons themselves also have limitations. Even though they were made by Kasey Strife they do not operate as a weapon of killing so they can not be manipulated by Ribbon to change into a gun, a knife, a sword, or anything else that can kill a person. They are simply meant to be a defensive measure so they can wrap themselves around things, tighten but they have tasted the blood of death once and did not like the shade of color that blood left so they will never allow Ribbon to kill more than the once at least using them as a means of a weapon that can kill.
The use of the ribbons only coming out when she uses idioms is one so that they do not just sprout out all randomly scaring the hell out of her and two because since the ribbons are embedded into the pink shards that used to hold electrical charge, the only way of getting them to sprout now is only when Ribbon herself is in a state of complete balance which is recognized by her spouting off the color idioms since idioms are just a group of words that have a meaning as a group rather than single.
If she just went around spouting red or black then she could be talking about anything. Ribbon will only ever use three idioms and thus three rainbow colors ever in her life. The colors used in the phrases represent the colors of the ribbons because how are you going to ever stand out and be known for anything if you are just otherwise gray in a world of black and white.
Idioms used :
Out of the blue : Blue ribbon
Caught red handed : Red ribbon
Green with envy: Green Ribbon
Ribbon does not really understand her emotions and as far as feelings she also does not understand how people can flush through so many and still feel so lost so she honestly avoids her own emotions but still shuffles through anxiousness - (blue), anger - (red) and envy (green) herself but since she is trying to get a better grasp of her emotions, perhaps the ribbons and the use of them will help her find her own peace and balance across all platforms of mental, emotional, and physical.
SKILLS:
Gymnastic Training : Ribbon has two years of gymnastics training under her belt and is still currently taking it.
Track and Field : Ribbon has one year of track and field training and is currently taking it.
Sign Language : Ribbon had to learn sign language when her brother became deaf because she had no idea if he would feel comfortable reading her lips so she learned sign language.
Above Average Cognitive Skill (Hand/Eye Coordination) : When she made the choice to dive into crafting ribbons and then gymnastics, Ribbon decided that she needed to improve her Cognitive skill. This makes her a little better than the average at driving, typing, and her favorite sports of gymnastics and track.
WEAKNESSES: Rarely Speaks: For everything that she can do with her physical and mind, Ribbon barely actually physically speaks. There is nothing wrong with her vocal chords she just chooses to nod or if she feels like she can trust you then she will speak simple words like yes or no or maybe.
Distant: Ribbon would almost rather set the world on fire than be around a lot of people. It is why she went to Dubai and is just now coming out of hiding.
Lack of Self-Confidence: When she's not doing gymnastics or track she has no confidence in anything. This also played a major role in why she went and got such an extensive amount of plastic surgery. It was supposed to make her feel better but now when she looks into a mirror all she sees is plastic but getting the butt was totally worth it.
Forgetfulness : In a world that is so driven in technology, Ribbon is not used to actually having to remember to charge her phone because she feels that phones should be able to charge themselves now and yet they can not. Because of this her phone normally runs under 25% battery life or less.
"Sprouting" : The ribbons need a place to rest and keep their color vibrant. They have chosen the roots of Ribbon's hair as this resting place so occasionally as she speaks she will began to periodically sprout ribbons out of her hair from her scalp which yes is as painful as it sounds. The process of having ribbons constantly embedded into your scalp and at an access to her embedded scales is constantly keeping small pings of pain shooting through Ribbon so that she is reminded that as long as your roots stay planted deep your life can branch out into many different directions. Once the ribbons have sprouted a total of five times, Ribbon has to tuck herself away into a chamber of ice and solitude and allow herself to recharge, though it should be noted that she hates being in the chamber and simply sleeps during her time away. This process of her body's electrical nodes containing balance takes two-three weeks so she may disappear for weeks at a time but always stays in contact through her phone though she might not be physically seen.
"Embedding": The fabric that the ribbons sprout from are embedded so deeply into Ribbon's scalp that the pressure of carrying them keeps her off balance constantly but to allow her to carry such a heavy weight the Ribbon's keep themselves wrapped around her wrists ninety percent of the time.

Appearance
GENERAL: Ribbon stands 5 feet 8 inches with dark brown hair at the roots and under the very back edge of her light pink hair that often creates a zig zag pattern. Ribbon has blue green eyes and while she has had extensive plastic surgery everything about her body looks as if it was naturally made. Ribbon has a tramp stamp in the form of a single pair of scales with an electric wave across her upper back area, which has embedded itself into her skin and hardened to create a permanent scale along her lower back area. Her clothing style is very ribbon embellished which just simply means regardless of if she is wearing a dress or a pair of sweats there are always small ribbon accessories tied or pinned or attached to it. Most notably around the leg and arm areas and there is always a ribbon tied around her waist much like a belt would be.
Ribbon keeps her nails short always with a pink tip. Her favorite type of shoe is a flat sandal that she can slide her feet into and be comfortable in the summer and in the winter a pair of boots but no fur please. Animals are people too. Most of the time she will wear her hair back with a rainbow color of ribbons keeping it out of her eye sight. If you get the chance to look closely enough the rainbow color of ribbons read "Spectra." but no one has ever been known to get that close.
COSTUME: n/a.

Personality
Ribbon Harmony is quite the delight regardless of if you can get her to talk or not. She holds herself in a very high manner in order to hide that lack of self confidence but no one would ever know that she lacks that confidence because when she speaks she paints words so beautiful that it's believable. Even though she does not talk much her actions are always happy and more than that bright.
Ribbon is always smiling and constantly pointing out the positive in everything which after a while can become annoying but no one gets to know her that long or has not yet anyway. Her favorite things as stated are ribbons and making anything out of them and track and field. Being on the track and running towards a purpose even though it is a finish line is an amazing feeling to her.
She has two main dislikes. One is if you are speaking to her not looking at her eyes. She likes to return the respect that one is giving to you when they speak to you and stare directly in your eyes. The other is if you touch her. Don't touch her because she is not going to touch you and if you touch her then she will scream like no other.
Her motivation is herself. A lot of people would tell you that this is a bit narcissistic but she has learned that she needs to be her own motivator because if she is not then she will just not do anything and she knows that is terrible.

History
She was born Lori Fey Nottingham on a day where the rain poured and the lightning was out of control and her life has been just as wild since. Much like her brother, Lori's life did not really begin until she was 17. During her senior year a stranger caught her alone in a dark alley and attacked her but luckily she was able to get away with her life. She went on about her life and dove into arts and crafts; making her own hula hoops and even creating her own back pack which holds her crafting ribbon.
Once she returned back to school carrying her back pack and only choosing to craft in classes instead of paying attention it is said she earned the nickname "Ribbon." At 18 one Lori went through the process of legally changing her name to Ribbon Harmony in order to escape the tresses of her mother. She also went to Dubai and had extensive plastic surgery which easily changed her face but there was nothing that they could do for the natural pink hair that she was born with that has electric shards embedded into it deep into her scalp, which went dull the moment that her tattoo decided to embed itself into her back.
The plastic surgery cut the source of her powers so she has none which only caused her to dive more into her arts and crafts and she fell in love with the art of creating things out of ribbons. It is rumored that Ribbon is currently overseas since she could not find anywhere in the U.S.A. to perform the surgery that permanently changes your eye color considering people have went blind from it.
During the month of May in the current year Dr. Richards found her way to Oregon, however Ribbon's electrical powers had began to push through her body so much that she had began to use ribbons as a way of sourcing the energy to keep it at bay but it was not enough and Ribbon had to go under the knife one final time. During the surgery the ribbons would wrap themselves around Dr. Richard's hands and guide her hands along the work that is Ribbon's face structure.
The blonde hair dissolved as a deep brown ribbon wrapped itself around her hair and soaked into her scalp and infused themselves through her cuts replacing the blonde hair with brown, still with pink streaks underneath and under her eyes replacing her solid blue eyes with ones of a blue green shade as the ribbon finally settled itself and came out of one of her surgical cuts. All that barely known of the one known as Ribbon Harmony was gone and all that existed was Stasis. All of the energy that had existed in her body had found a new home in the ribbons by taking away the charges from her body and putting them along the soft material allowing her not control over electricity but control over ribbon fabric.
Sewing Machine History::
The sewing machine was an old and dusty antique when Kasey found it and she used it as a way of keeping herself busy. It was not until Ribbon came back from Alaska and was messing around with something that did not belong to her that the ribbons became something more. By simply touching it Ribbon's electrical output laid across the ribbons used but this was nothing that Kasey paid attention to she simply thought that the S' stood for Strife. None the less since Ribbon has gotten that bag from Micah and has been sourcing her energy into the ribbons the sewing machine itself is something that Kasey simply left behind as a keepsake and Mila will more than likely find it in a dumpster and take it apart for money.
