Name: Zelenka Novakova
Codename: Whisperer; Bohemian (Dr. Dolittle)
Age: 35
Affiliation: Mansion Faculty & Staff
Relations: (same Zelenka from old room, all grown up)

Powers: Ability to telepathically talk with and understand animals, and control them to an extent. Since her childhood, she's been trained how to use her telepathy to mentally communicate with humans too, but she can not control them (unless they have hardly any willpower). The general conscensus is that she can't control the creature if they are "sentient" or able to totally think freely. Her human telepathy only extends to "surface" thoughts, she can't delve deep into a person's mind, but she can an animal's.

Skills: Thourough knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of many different animals, veterinary medicine, farm management & animal care, intermediate survival skills, intermediate hand-to-hand combat skills, basic fire-arms training.


Brief History: In her childhood she was an undocumented immigrant from the Czech Republic, traumatized to muteness after the tragic death of her family. Once she was found by school staff, she was taken into the mansion and work was done to make her a legal immigrant on a student Visa, and legally in the care of the school staff. With their help, she not only eventually overcame her psychosomatic issues but also learned a greater control over her powers. After being recognized as a permanent resident she went through the processes and became a normalized citizen of the United States. She eventually finished her schooling at the mansion, with a degree in Animal Husbandry & Care while working towards a Pre-Veterinary medicine degree. Before she could fully commit to the vet program, an event happened that altered her outlook on things. The grounds were attacked (one of many times over the years, no doubt) and her hand was forced into the fray to protect the younger students. She used her power to control several animals, domestic and wild that were in the area, to attack the attackers and keep them at bay. At the end of the day the mansion was re-secured (of course) and no major injuries were occured to students, but many of the animals she had corralled into action were lost. To her, it was devastating, and it started to make her question whether or not mutants could ever be allowed to exist peacefully with everyone else. It got to her. Soon after, she decided to leave the school and go out on her own. A bit of soul searching and a bit of self expression at the same time. She was about 28 at the time.

Now, seven years later, she's recently contacted the School with hopes to come back as a faculty member, to help teach basic Biology and advanced courses in Animal Anatomy and related Veterinary classes.
