  UPDATED BIOGRAPHY

  ---

  
  <EARLY YEARS>
  
  Ika was raised by her biological mother, Kelsie Sokosaki, after her biological father, Maximilian Magson, failed with his personal research on biological engineering. Ika was one of the many test tube babies that Maximilian experimented on, but she was the only one to survive, but she was considered a failure. She didn't have the same abilities as a 'Magson', which is determined by the red-colored iris; Ika had purple.
  
  She spent 10 years in Japan. Although, at age 7, she was sent to a psychiatric hospital when she broke into hysteria for the third time at school. Each time got worse, and the school advised that she had to get checked. Ika was put into isolation and wore a straightjacket. Her prolonged stay in a small, room built up her claustrophobia. Her mother was transferred to Chicago. She resumed her stay in a psychiatric hospital, learning how to control her emotions to a level that is enough to keep her from having an outburst. At the same time, Ika had a tutor to teach her and prepare her for when she was alright to leave the hospital. Among studying and some sports, she was given permission to study martial arts once the psychiatric hospital confirmed she was stable. She was able to leave when she just started high school.
  
  <STUDYING IN HIGH SCHOOL IN CHICAGO>
  
  Ika attended the same high school as her future close friends. Like in elementary, she was labeled a freak for having purple eyes, comparing her to the students with the red eyes. She appeared stoic, calm, composed and relaxed, since she have trained to do so for years. She met her first friend, Stacey Figiel, who had the same classes with her for the whole year. Through Stacey, she met Ellis Magson. Stacey and Ellis were cousins who both had red eyes. At first, Ika was apathetic with the duo, but as she spent more time with them, she grew attached to them, and eventually looks for them when she felt bored or alone. She became close friends with them, along with Jhona Barley, Starks Figley, and Charles Castillian
  
  <REVELATION AND MANIPULATION>
  
  After a while, Ika met Stacy (not Stacey Figiel), Ellis' ex girlfriend. She knew of how Ika came to be. The revelation made Ika slowly emotionally unstable. Stacy took advantage of this to manipulate and turn her against Ellis by telling her that Ellis would never understand her, that he wasn't like her, that she was a freak because of him. This made Ika angry towards Ellis and caused a rift in their friendship. Eventually, she fought Ellis, who didn't fight her back, saying that he had no reason to. After confronting him, she disappeared for two months, isolating herself.
  
  Later, by Stacy's guidance, Ika kidnapped Stacey to lure Ellis. Ika held a gun to Stacey's head, threatening to kill her. Ellis just let her and she confronted him about why letting Stacey die. Stacy said that it was Ellis' nature, and that he only cares for himself. Ika thought about the situation and drew to a conclusion that Stacy was manipulating her to kill Ellis. This made Ika turn the gun at Stacy, shooting her arm and making her flee. Ellis gets Stacey but Ika doesn't go with them.
  
  Ika didn't join the two until Christmas where she woke up on her mom's grave to see Ellis leaning against a tombstone near her. They conversed, and she found out that his mother died on that day. Ellis left while she was turned around, then moments later, Ika followed him, after writing 'I love you, mom. See you soon.' and a rose from Ellis' bouquet.

  THE MAGSON ABILITY

  ---

  
  In general, the Magson abilities are more on better reflexes than an average human. Ones who possess the perfect Magson gene also have higher sense of danger. Ellis can control his access on his ability.
  
  Ika on the other hand cannot control her access on her ability. Her ability is only triggered when she is emotionally unstable, and her left iris turns red. In such state, she is very agile and has very keen senses. However, with just her purple eyes, she is able to see half a mile away.
