Wow. This is different. As a comic geek, I've always been intrigued by the idea of "shapeshifting/illusion" as an ability. To me, its an equally destructive gift as one that is more physical in its damage. I mean, one's identity is strongly tied into one's image of themselves. The face in the mirror is your own and is often the thing that gives you grounding--or judgement. If you can change your image, do you change how you see yourself? Does your center of morality shift? Does your past disappear? Do you lose sense of time and reality? Hmm, shades of Hollow Man...

Candice is an interesting character to explore if Kring decides to go there. I look at Mystique from the X-books as example of those complexities mentioned above, and think that her character is truly lost/detached and slightly insane because of it. It may be why she desperately latches onto Rogue.

But I really like what you did with the few sentences you wrote. Its kind of a brief snapshot of Candice, her limitless possibities, with enough ambiguity whether the damage is permanant.
