Microstory 149: Solange Attar

This is an experimental Bellevue Profile microstory. The introduction can be found in Microstory 101. More to follow.

When you really get down to it, Solange Attar and her sister, Monique had wildly different abilities. Sure, both of theirs could be related to animals, but not inherently so. Monique could control the pheromones of animals and people, and use these to place a target in a form of hypnosis. Though she was strong, she was limited, and controlling her target’s actions would have been a reach. Solange, on the other hand, could mimic the sound of anything that she had heard at least once. This included, but was not limited to, human voices, animal calls, and machine sounds. Knowing no other way of using her ability, she decided to become a performer. Her fame spread around Paris, then across all of France, and then throughout the entirety of Europe. She would not only mimic sounds in her act. Her vocal cords also gave her what was considered to be the most beautiful singing voice in the world. People traveled from miles and miles away to hear the lovely and amazing voice of Solange Attar. One night, she was seeking some alone time on the Eiffel Tower when a man appeared out of nowhere. He had no memory of who he was, or where he was from, but he somehow had the ability to teleport himself and anything equal to, or lower than, his own mass. The family took him in and gave him the name of Gaston since it meant stranger. Solange and Gaston formed a close bond, and eventually fell in love. They conceived a daughter, Zoey, who developed physically at an astonishing and dangerous rate. They sought help from Bellevue, and collectively became four of the last six anomalies to be discovered by the organization besides the low number of Generation Twos yet to be born.
