[attr="class","appbold"]PERSONALITY:
- olesya olesky prides herself on the ability to maintain impeccable composure.
having spent nearly a decade under the media spotlight as part-time superhero, part-time celebrity chef, she's found she's had to act something poised. that aside, olesya's always been cool-headed anyway. she provides service with a smile, too; while olesya's not particularly expressive she's dedicated to being amiable with people she likes or doesn't know. she's playful as well, even if it's playfulness dashed with an unnerving flair for the macabre, capable of being both remarkably straight-faced and overwhelmingly grim. olesya comes off as reserved but friendly, if just with a startlingly morbid sense of humour.
it's no wonder that some people closer to her affectionately refer to this temperament as a calm before the storm given olesya's actual thrill-seeking personality. olesya's a real daredevil and incredibly competitive, obsessed with pushing herself, and other people, to the limit (and past it) for the thrill of it. not only can this be thoughtless but olesya displays quite a controlling streak.
this is as olesya is totally unsympathetic to most people who can't satisfy her reckless tendencies. despite the warm, homely media persona aside she'll be cold to anyone who she views as boring her. she's a prideful person as well and this culminates in an incredibly unforgiving nature when crossed. she is at loathe to let people even have the possibility of betraying her. her lack of emotion – and her reliance on her media face — is partially a stern paranoia of being vulnerable by exposing herself emotionally.
however, olesya also holds a belief that anyone has to earn emotions outside her persona from her. expressiveness is a prize won by those close to her and, frankly, the easiest way to gain her favour is to agree to do something where your life is at risk.

[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- olesya was never interested in becoming a hero when she was a child.
her family, ethically ukrainian and married in kiev, relocated to st. petersburg, russia, when she was young given her mother's high-flying, illustrious superhero career. as an only child, and displaying powers much of her mother's calibre, she was expected to follow her into heroing, especially when her mother switched to an even bigger, international sponsor company mid-nineties. olesya rejected that heritage, however, spurred on by teenage rebellion and spent her time invested in using her powers, and whatever else she had going for her, on dangerous stunts. this was how she met one rudolf volkov and, following the meeting, fell pretty helplessly head over heels in love with him.
engaged to each other in their early twenties, olesya and rudolf's marriage was called off following his rise to fame as a hero. she felt betrayed and humiliated when he started running by a superhero and adamantly refused to have anything to do with him if he intended to continue it or, god forbid, get sponsored. with it mutually broken off she used the money she intended to buy the wedding dress with and bought a plane ticket to america with the intent of working as a chef there.
several years later, olesya ended up catapulted to national attention when the restaurant where she worked in run afoul of a super-villain. a staunch, ardent defence by her helped by the use of her duplication powers to fight him, all recorded, meant she spent some time in the national media. this drew attention of a sponsor company that was interested in branching out into advertising domestic products and with the temporary hype around olesya, she seemed like a prime candidate. she accepted the offer from them of a cooking segment on a superhero show, a superhero identity and cooking utensils line despite the resistance she'd had over the years.
until 2011 olesya had a largely successful run as a part-time superhero and part-time celebrity chef. she'd married one of the co-hosts of the show she'd initially been a star of – where she had gained the moniker 'titania' to her husband's 'oberon' — but the uncovery of sponsor corruption spiralled her career and marriage into ruins. the company that produced her show played a massive part in producing fake villains and her show was cancelled when it was discovered that most of the conflicts were staged. through connections she's found herself employed at vireximus university as a caterer, using her duplication power to great effect. while it was initially a place to work and lie low while waiting for her divorce to be finalised, and figure out what else she wants to do, olesya's taken to the job with great enthusiasm.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- SELF-REPLICATION: olesya is capable of creating duplicates of her physical form, able to manifest multiple copies of herself with physical properties. this is accomplished through psychic constructs as she is able to project and solidify psionic duplicates of herself. these duplicates are not fully sentient. on generation, they follow commands introduced to them in them on their creation and follow a limited variety of commands from olesya following this but this is dependent on their auditory functions; olesya does not uphold telepathic psychic connections with them. while they have their combative uses right now olesya uses them mainly for additional hands when cooking. in her opinion, whoever said "too many cooks spoil the broth" obviously never had superpowers.
alongside their limited sentience, olesya can only spawn a limited number of her duplicates. the most she's managed to replicate at once has been eight. this mass duplication through psionic means is exhausting mentally, fatiguing physically, and would not be sustainable for lengthy periods of time. however, she can sustain three and four copies for a couple of hours in an area if not under stress.
additionally, while olesya does not undergo the actual physical harm inflicted on her copies she still feels the pain. usually her duplicates will disappear following physical damage but will disappear if olesya commands it. however, they must be her line of sight to do this. otherwise her copies cannot exist more than 50 feet away from her.
as a side note in order to differentiate herself from her duplicates she typically wears a flower clip in her hair which is not replicated on her copies. however, only minor physical differences are able to be projected on them otherwise.
