Elsie Collins

Elysia 'Elsie' Collins is a supporting character in A Few Cruel Twists of Fate, and Riley's best friend and confidant.

Ironically, her most distinguishing feature is that she has no powers, even after the rest of her formerly-human classmates had already gained extraordinary abilities in one way or another. In fact, by the end of Volume 1, she is already the only one left in her classroom who doesn't have special abilities of any kind.

Early Life
Elsie was born on October 28, 2001. At some point, she met Riley, and the two became the best of friends.

Genesis Event
Miraculously, Elsie was one of the few people who were not mutated by the Genesis Event. After schools closed down, most of her close friends except for Riley had left Newheart.

Appearance
Elsie is the shortest student in 11-Socrates. She has a petite physique and pale complexion with freckles. She usually wears her hair in a ponytail.

Personality
Elsie acts as the 'straight man' to Riley. As her best friend, she gives Riley advice and listens to everything she has to say.

As one of the few arguably normal humans left in the world in a time where the superhuman population grows each day, Elsie struggles with the feeling of inadequacy and not only being 'average', but below average. Even before the Genesis Event and the Superhuman Era, Elsie already felt average, as she didn't particularly shine in any talent or field, which Riley naturally resonated with. In response to these sentiments, she either does her best to stand out in other ways like her appearance, academic outputs, or talents, or simply stops trying or caring. She is especially disheartened when someone else can do whatever she can in a better way and in a shorter amount of time.

Powers
Elsie has no powers and will likely never receive any, as she possesses a gene that is not receptive to paradynamic mutation.
