Mutation:
Despite her code name, Anna is not technically dead. But nor is she technically alive. Her mutation was triggered by her murder and has left her trapped between life and death. She’s not fully dead, but she’s not fully alive either.
She is technically Immortal, meaning that she does not require food, water, heat, or oxygen for sustenance and that she posses a Regenerative Healing Factor that rebuilds her molecular structure from physically any physical attack, regardless of how much damage or destruction she sustains. She is capable of regrowing severed limbs and rebuilding her body after being reduced to nothing more then a skeleton. She is incapable of dying or sustaining physical damage.
While she might be incapable of dying, she is capable of feeling pain. Any time she sustains a physical injury, she feels the same level of pain that a normal human would feel if they sustained that same injury. Also, while her healing factor would allow her to regrow that limb, it is not instantaneous and she would be debilitated while waiting for it to heal.
Her healing factor is regenerative, meaning that it will heal any injury, but it is not accelerated. This means that she will take the same length of time to recover from most injuries that a normal person would. This, of course, does not apply to regrowing limbs or other such drastic healing, as of course they do not occur in normal humans, but even in these extreme cases the process is long and slow and can take a long time to finish occurring.
While physical injury can incapacitated her for the length of time it takes her body to recover from it’s injuries, she can also be incapacitated through any physical object that restricts or restrained her physical movements, such as being locked in a cell or a coffin.
In addition to her Immortality, Anna also has Necropathic abilities, which allow her to use a specific form of telepathy that is connected with death or the dead. She can use this ability telepathically communicate with cells, bacteria, and/or dead or disintegrated tissue left by corpses. This allows her to discover facts about the person, their life, and their death that might have been previously unknown. She can also use this ability to temporarily “resurrect” dead people by summoning their images from the minds of those who knew them. This creates a “ghost” that is able to communicate and interact with the living, although the ghost is limited to information contained within the head(s) of the person(s) it was made from, and it can not provide new or previous unknown information.
The first of these two uses, the telepathic communication, is restricted to cases in which there are some physical remains with which Anna can communicate. She does not need to make physical contact with the remains in order to facilitate this communication, although it helps, but she does need to be both capable of seeing them and within a close physical range to them
In the second of these two uses, the “resurrecting ghosts”, she only capable of using this on people who are susceptible to telepathic communication, meaning that if the person is protected from telepaths through a device or a power, they are also protected from her.
In addition to resurrecting ghosts, Anna is also capable of becoming a ghost herself, making herself both Intangible and Invisible. This means that she is capable of “phasing” through solid matter by reducing her molecular density and shifting her remaining atoms through the spaces between the atoms through which she is moving, while at the same time allowing those atoms to vibrate at a frequency that prevents individuals from perceiving her visually. When this happens she is officially off the radar, incapable of being seen, touched, sensed telepathically, or detected mechanically. She is capable of sensing and remember that which is going on around her, and of communicating verbally with others.
These two powers are linked and only operate as a pair, meaning that she is incapable of using them individuals. Also, the longer and more frequently she uses them, the more difficult it becomes for her to return to her tangible, visible form. She runs the risk of becoming permanently trapped in his form if she uses them too frequently or uses them for too long a period of time
Anna’s body is technically dead, and as a result there are some physical limitations. She has no heartbeat and, although her blood continues to flow through her veins, it does so had a slower speed then normal human beings. This means that her core body temperature is lower then most humans and that she appears to physically cold when touched. It also means that her brain receives only a limited flow of blood, which, while it does not impair her cognitive capabilities, does impact the abilities of telepaths to access her mind. They are capable of perceiving her surface thoughts only, her stream of consciousness and her current emotions. They cannot access any deeper, subconscious thoughts or her memories.
Skills:
Anna has an intricate knowledge of history and speaks about it with great interest, knowledge, and articulation. She is particularly informed on the events of the 20th century, although she refuses to divulge which, if any, come from personal experience.
She speaks Russian, French, English, and Spanish fluently and without trace of accent. She plays the piano well and from memory. She has read most of the great Europe writers and texts multiple times. She has an encyclopedia-like memory for pop-culture trivia from the last century, which makes her an unstoppable Trivial Pursuit opponent.
Her power and situation has put her in a unique position so far as death and grief, and experience and research have made her a competent grief counselor.
Personality:
Because of Anna’s abilities and history, she prefers to keep her thoughts and feelings to herself, and is reluctant to share them with others. There are only a few people who have known her long enough to truly know what she’s like inside and most people just see the quiet, reserved, exterior.
To the world, Anna is a reserved and distant woman who usually keeps to herself. She rarely speaks, and when she does it is usually to ask questions. She once confessed to a friend that she had gone two days without making a single declarative sentence. She is not shy or hesitant, and usually exudes a sense of self-confidence and self-assurance that is unusual in women today.
She is constantly watching people, and seems keenly interested in the going-on's of the world around her. Yet she does not feel the need to become personally involved with the people or world she is observing. She is generally friendly and interested in the people she meets, but she rarely seems to get personal with them or allow them to get past her exterior shell.
Even with her friends she still never fully lets her hair down and there is a constant sense of a barrier or distance between them. She is more talkative with them, more free to express opinions or share her insights. She has a tendency for silliness and humor that sometimes appears, as if from nowhere, and disappears just as quickly, as if she’s afraid to show it for too long.
She is extremely generous with others, although her generosity is not overtly visible. She is constantly helping others out, even strangers she overhears in a restaurant, but always in a way that prevents them from knowing that she’s helping them or from thanking her.
She hums sometimes, and then gets embarrassed when people catch her doing it, as if the just discovered some secret about her. She is terrified of letting people get to close or discovering too much, mainly because they will eventually die and leave her, and death is easier to except in stranger then it is in friends.
History:
The exact data and place of Anna’s birth, as well as the exact data and place of her death, remain a closely guarded mystery known only to Anna and a few other key individuals. Occasionally she will make a veiled reference to her family or her childhood, but she never provides any solid details.
She was born somewhere in Eastern Europe, in a place that would eventually become the possession of the Soviet Union. She doesn’t talk about her childhood much, but it is known she has at least one sister. She died during the First World War, murdered, although she has never revealed by whom or for what reason.
It is known that her powers activated themselves in the moment of her death and prevented her from fully dying, although they did not leave her fully alive either. At first if was just immortality, although eventually she would discover the necropathic abilities as well.
Anna doesn’t speak much about what happened after she died, if she ever got revenge on the individual responsible for what happen to her, if she ever saw her family again. In fact, she speaks very rarely about any events in her life, in those that happened yesterday.
It is known that she resurfaced a few years after her death, as a Soviet prisoner. There are a few references to her imprisonment in the newly released paperwork of the former Soviet Union, although it doesn’t provide details as to how long she was kept, in what conditions he was kept, or what was done to her. It is unknown how long she remained there or why she was released, but at the end of the second world war, she appears in Germany, working in a refugee camp with the American Red Cross. That is when she was first contacted by the US government, with whom she’s been working on and off for the last 70 years. From there on there are a few references to her activities, most of which are classified and top secret. She helped to test the atom bomb; worked on the JFK assassination, spent some time in Vietnam and Cambodia identifying the remains of POWs, and failed to discover the body of Jimmy Hoffa.
She is also an old friend of Charles Xavier’s, having met him several times when he was young and new to his powers. She had been his silent partner in the founding of the Institute, and had even worked as a teacher there for a short time. But the two had had a falling out over when he began to turn his students into the mutant fighting team known as the X-men. The two stopped speaking after their falling out and Anna lost contact with her most of her former students, and at the time of his death if had been well over a decade since she’d had any contact with any of them.
She was in Europe when Xavier and the others were killed, and while she mourned the death of her old friend, as she mourned the death of her former student, Jean Grey. But she quickly moved on with her life. Death was a common theme in her life, both due to her powers and her extended life, and it was something she’d learned not to spend too much time moping over.

(OOC: Please note, most of the information here has been taken off Dead Girl's entry in the Marvel Data base and Wikipedia, although I have altered her powers to make her seem less godly (can't control zombies, or turn her body into claws, or have enhanced strength, speed, etc, or a few other things). She still is a little godly because of the whole immortality thing, but with the code name Dead Girl, that can't be entirely helped, although I have tried to put in enough weaknesses to balance it out. Let me know if you need more.)
