Here are the character notes for "Crosstalking Senses in Translation."
Neona (Nina Freemont) -- She has fair skin, blue eyes, and long wavy hair streaked in neon pastels. She is graceful with an hourglass figure. Her heritage is American. She speaks English and French. She is 24 years old in 2015.
Nina grew up in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Arts Management with an Art minor at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams. There she joined the Book Club, Crafting Club, Moving Beyond the Mundane emotion management group, and Outdoors Club.
After graduating, she became more interested in the intersection of superpowers and art, especially synesthesia. She took the cape name Neona. She moved to Northampton, Massachusetts and started the art gallery Sensoria. Neona sought out works by artists with superpowers, particularly those with different senses who tried to render their perceptions for others. Then she got the idea of translating works for people without such superpowers. She coaxed two other synesthetic artists to join the project, and together they made an exhibit about it, which proved quite popular.
Origin: When she was in high school, a rival threw hair dye on her right before prom, which turned out to be zetetic. After that, Nina has little tolerance for mean girls.
Uniform: She tends to wear simple clothes in black, charcoal gray, or navy to set off her neon hair.
Qualities: Good (+2) Artist, Good (+2) Arts Management, Good (+2) Emotional Intelligence, Good (+2) Graceful, Good (+2) Inspiring
Poor (-2) Low Tolerance of Mean Girls
Powers: Good (+2) Crayon Hair, Good (+2) Synesthesia
She has aura synesthesia, seeing colors around people that mark emotions and personality traits. She has colour personification synesthesia, in which colors have personalities and emotions.
Motivation: To promote art.

Clubs
BOOK CLUB
This club promotes extra-curricular reading and provides an environment dedicated to increasing literacy, exploring literary genres, and group discussion.
CRAFTING CLUB
Crafting Club is a place where people who have any kind of desire to create and express themselves can relax among like-minded people. Our meetings are the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself after a hard week of school. Each week there is a different art/craft project so there is always something new to bring you back!
MOVING BEYOND THE MUNDANE
The purpose of Moving Beyond the Mundane is a chance for students to gain a new perspective and control over their emotion's effects on them. Stress and anxiety reduction is the goal of this club and will hope to achieve this for any student through the works of meditation and breath work. This club also opens the doors for discussion of spirituality and its practices.
OUTDOORS CLUB
This club offers students the opportunity to experience the Berkshires at its finest. With many resources in our area, the club benefits from a wide range of options for outings. The club sponsors trips year round including hiking camping, and more. All are welcome to join regardless of ability.
There's nothing more artsy, hippy, young, and vibrant than the community built around Northampton (NoHo to locals). Though the atmosphere is definitely that of a college town thanks to Smith University, Northampton has something for everyone, young and not-so-young. You'll find eight art galleries, eight bookstores, countless specialty stores and consignment shops, restaurants serving locally-sourced foods and ethnic cuisine from all over the world--all in one walkable, picturesque, small New England town.
"Aura" synesthesia (projective personality-colour synesthesia)
Personality-colour, person-colour and perceived emotion-to-colour synesthesia can all be called “aura” synesthesia when they are projective rather than associative (i.e. when the concurrent colour perception is seen physically in the real world and not merely in the mind’s eye). A synesthete who projects their perceptions in this way sees one or more colours located around the head or body of the person observed, these being the colours they associate with their personality type or the emotions they intuitively sense that they are feeling.
Colour personification
Personifying colours is an example of the personification of series or sequences of concepts. It is an uncommon type of synesthesia that consists of automatically associating each colour with human characteristics such as gender, personality, physical appearance, feelings and also friendly, romantic or family relationships. The associations are formed during childhood and are stable, tending to show no variation over the synesthete’s lifetime.
Reina De Colores (Reina De Cordova) -- She has tawny skin, iridescent eyes, and long wavy hair streaked in rainbow jewel tones. Her heritage is American, Asian, and Hispanic. She speaks English, Japanese, and Spanish. She is 22 years old in 2015.
Reina grew up in Florida. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art (Studio) with a minor in Translation Studies at Florida International University in Miami. There she joined the Caribbean Student Association, Geek Culture Club, International Arts and Design, Kayaking club, and the Women's Network.
After graduating, Reina moved to Northampton, Massachusetts and got involved with the art gallery Sensoria. There she helped translate works so that people without superpowers could appreciate them more completely. Unfortunately her vivid appearance and mixed background attract bigos.
Origin: She volunteered as a model in her body painting class, which turned out to involve zetetic paints, and developed superpowers.
Uniform: Reina likes practical women's wear, usually a solid-colored outfit matching one of her bright hair colors.
Qualities: Good (+2) Dexterity, Good (+2) Fusion Cooking, Good (+2) Multicultural Skills, Good (+2) Painter, Good (+2) Translation and Interpretation
Poor (-2) Bigot Magnet
Powers: Good (+2) Crayon Soup, Good (+2) Enhanced Vision, Good (+2) Synesthesia
Reina has considerably more than the minor visual enhancements (like seeing into the ultraviolet) that often accompany crayon colors, and she has the distinctive eyes to show it. She also has chromesthesia and color-sound (or color-tone) synesthesia.
Motivation: To translate perceptions.

The Network hosts experiential events to build relationships and to authentically connect with peers, mentors, and industry leaders.
Chromesthesia
Chromesthesia is a general name given to any type of synesthesia where the inducer is sound or music and the concurrent is (or includes) colour.
Colour-sound (or colour-tone) synesthesia
A type of visual-auditory or conceptual-auditory synesthesia
This is an uncommon, little-known type of synesthesia in which seeing colours triggers sounds, i.e. tones, frequencies or musical notes.
Information on this type of synesthesia is scarce as it has not been studied scientifically, but it appears to be experienced in response to stimuli such as abstract paintings, coloured objects or surfaces (walls or clothing for example). The sounds heard are not usually loud or strident but tend to be more like a low hum, or pure tones at a low volume. The depth and texture of the colour observed can also induce changes in the tone or note heard or perceived.
Aeolis (Alexis Argyris) -- She has tawny skin, black eyes, and short hair streaked in pale pink, blue, and lavender. She has three piercings in each earlobe. She is petite with shallow curves. She is nonbinary, but identifies as a lesbian because she loves women and has a female body. Her heritage includes American and Greek. She speaks English. She is 23 years old in 2015.
Alexis earned a Bachelor of Arts in Gender and Women's Studies with a minor in Studio Art at the State University of New York - Plattsburgh. There she joined the clubs Biketopia, Dungeoneers’ Guild, LGBTQ Student Union, Literature Club, Plattsburgh Association of the Visual Arts, and Women in Leadership. She took the cape name Aeolis, which is a historic term for the island of Lesbos.
After graduating, Aeolis moved to Northampton, Massachusetts and got involved with the art gallery Sensoria. There she helped translate works so that people without superpowers could appreciate them more completely.
Origin: She was born with her abilities.
Uniform: She wears artistic women's clothes. Her base colors are black, white, and gray accented with shades of pink, blue, and lavender.
Qualities: Good (+2) 3D Artist, Good (+2) Fast, Good (+2) Gender Studies, Good (+2) Intrapersonal Intelligence, Good (+2) Lesbian
Poor (-2) Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

Tactile-visual synesthesia
Touch-colour, touch-shape and possibly touch-image
This is one of the types of synesthesia that can be called "visualized sensations"
One very uncommon type of synesthesia involves perceiving colour or shape sensations in response to a tactile stimulus of some kind: the sensation of being touched, the sensation of touching something, the perception of the textures touched or tactile sensations on the body such as water or a breeze.
Colour-tactile (colour-touch) synesthesia
It is possible, but very uncommon, for some synesthetes to feel tactile sensations triggered by seeing different colours. For these to be considered synesthesia they would have to be involuntary and also basically consistent, i.e. the same colour would always evoke the same sensation. Such a type of synesthesia would probably only occur in people with a high “synesthetic disposition”, i.e. with numerous types and strong concurrents, and it would be likely to occur at times when they were specifically focusing on the colour in question, rather than being perceived at all times. As far as I know no studies have ever been conducted on this type of synesthesia.
Neona (Nina Freemont) -- She has fair skin, blue eyes, and long wavy hair streaked in neon pastels. She is graceful with an hourglass figure. Her heritage is American. She speaks English and French. She is 24 years old in 2015.
Nina grew up in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Arts Management with an Art minor at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams. There she joined the Book Club, Crafting Club, Moving Beyond the Mundane emotion management group, and Outdoors Club.

Then she got the idea of translating works for people without such superpowers.

Chromesthesia
Chromesthesia is a general name given to any type of synesthesia where the inducer is sound or music and the concurrent is (or includes) colour.
Colour-sound (or colour-tone) synesthesia
A type of visual-auditory or conceptual-auditory synesthesia
This is an uncommon, little-known type of synesthesia in which seeing colours triggers sounds, i.e. tones, frequencies or musical notes.
Information on this type of synesthesia is scarce as it has not been studied scientifically, but it appears to be experienced in response to stimuli such as abstract paintings, coloured objects or surfaces (walls or clothing for example). The sounds heard are not usually loud or strident but tend to be more like a low hum, or pure tones at a low volume. The depth and texture of the colour observed can also induce changes in the tone or note heard or perceived.
Aeolis (Alexis Argyris) -- She has tawny skin, black eyes, and short hair streaked in pale pink, blue, and lavender. She has three piercings in each earlobe. She is petite with shallow curves. She is nonbinary, but identifies as a lesbian because she loves women and has a female body. Her heritage includes American and Greek. She speaks English. She is 23 years old in 2015.
Alexis earned a Bachelor of Arts in Gender and Women's Studies with a minor in Studio Art at the State University of New York - Plattsburgh. There she joined the clubs Biketopia, Dungeoneers’ Guild, LGBTQ Student Union, Literature Club, Plattsburgh Association of the Visual Arts, and Women in Leadership. She took the cape name Aeolis, which is a historic term for the island of Lesbos.
After graduating, Aeolis moved to Northampton, Massachusetts and got involved with the art gallery Sensoria. There she helped translate works so that people without superpowers could appreciate them more completely.
Origin: She was born with her abilities.
Uniform: She wears artistic women's clothes. Her base colors are black, white, and gray accented with shades of pink, blue, and lavender.

Poor (-2) Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Powers: Good (+2) Crayon Hair, Good (+2) Synesthesia
Aeolis has tactile-visual synesthesia, where touch and texture create colors. She also has colour-tactile (colour-touch) synesthesia, where colors activate tactile sensations or seem to have textures of their own.
Motivation: To express diversity.
Aeolis is a historic name for Lesbos, implying "Island of Winds" or "Changeable Island."

Tactile-visual synesthesia
Touch-colour, touch-shape and possibly touch-image
This is one of the types of synesthesia that can be called "visualized sensations"
One very uncommon type of synesthesia involves perceiving colour or shape sensations in response to a tactile stimulus of some kind: the sensation of being touched, the sensation of touching something, the perception of the textures touched or tactile sensations on the body such as water or a breeze.
Colour-tactile (colour-touch) synesthesia
It is possible, but very uncommon, for some synesthetes to feel tactile sensations triggered by seeing different colours. For these to be considered synesthesia they would have to be involuntary and also basically consistent, i.e. the same colour would always evoke the same sensation. Such a type of synesthesia would probably only occur in people with a high “synesthetic disposition”, i.e. with numerous types and strong concurrents, and it would be likely to occur at times when they were specifically focusing on the colour in question, rather than being perceived at all times. As far as I know no studies have ever been conducted on this type of synesthesia.
