Ulah Sokolova is a woman many would call the Queen of the Art Department, the Puppeteer of Theatre, or the Absolute Scorn of Imperfection. Ms. Sokolova is an albino dancer whose origin lies in Russia, where she learned her trade of ballet, acting, and gymnastics. From a young age, Ulah was told to push what she was good at to the absolute limit to get ahead in life, which eventually became a core aspect of her character. Because of her condition, Ulah often stayed inside and religiously practiced every skill that was embedded into her to near perfection.

Ulah’s perfectionist attitude often creeps into every aspect of her life, to the point she expects the same degree of performance from others she associates with. To her, there is always a better way to perform, an angle that was slightly off, or a wild strand of hair that will distract from a show. Things that seem small or rather inconsequential to others is often a disgrace in the eyes of Ulah, and they must be corrected. Because of her behavior and obvious expertise in theatre and dance, she naturally rose up and became a incidental teacher and role model to many students in the department, despite her unhealthy tendencies she forces unto others.

Ulah’s Electi Ability is referred to by her as ‘Magnificent Shadow.’ Ulah’s shadow, instead of just reflecting her movement, often reflects her turbulent and ever-shifting inner desires. The shadow, despite often following the shape of Ulah, can stretch and shift in abstract ways. If Ulah is feeling happy, her shadow may puff its chest out. If Ulah is feeling sad, the shadow will slouch or become really small. At times, Ulah might even find herself talking to her shadow, despite it just being a mute inner reflection of herself.

The downside of ‘Magnificent Shadow,’ is that it can often reveal things Ulah tries to hide through her stoic mask. If she’s secretly plotting, the shadow may maniacally tap its fingers together. If she’s withholding anger, her shadow may become big and scare whoever ticked her off. Because of how telling and often ‘imperfect’ her shadow is, Ulah is at a crossroads with whether she hates her ability or not.
