Editing Shadow Stalker (section)

==Powers & Equipment==
Sophia was capable of shifting herself into a "shadow state" which allowed her to pass through walls and made her lightweight. She could pass on these attributes onto her equipment, including shots fired by her crossbow bolts.<ref name="9.2">[[Sentinel 9.2]]</ref> It was unknown exactly what her upper limit was. For example, while she was able to 'shadow' a fold-up chair and launch it through a wall where it would materialize as a projectile, it was unknown just how much effort this cost her.<ref name="27.3">[[Extinction 27.3]]</ref>

As Shadow Stalker, Sophia carried two crossbows with both lethal and nonlethal bolts.

She is greatly vulnerable to electricity in her breaker state, even with strong static shocks being transferred into sufficient injuries.<ref>My for-a-short-time teammate Shadow Stalker had been impervious to physical blows and conventional weapons, but a minor electrical shock threatened to kill her, and I’d heard that even a strong static shock had delivered actual injuries that had translated to muscle damage after she had turned human again. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/02/02/blinding-11-11/ Excerpt] from [[Blinding 11.11]]</ref> As a Ward, she had lenses built into her mask that could fold down over her eyes, designed to detect electricity.<ref name="9.6">[[Sentinel 9.6]]</ref>

If she "stalled" inside a solid object, she lost forward momentum and suffered excruciating pain. She also suffered as badly as anyone from pepper spray or other aerosols if she changed back while they were still inside her, if not worse.<ref name="9.6" />

Her power could be used to phase a bolt or other weapon into a target, then unphase it inside of them to bypass armor, though this is noted to leave a characteristic imprint in the victim.<ref name="9.6" />

It was stated that her powers affected her personality after she triggered, her behavior becoming more aggressive and violent as a result of her trigger event.<ref name="28.4">[[Cockroaches 28.4]]</ref> [[Weaver]] speculated that her [[agent]] was exceptionally aggressive, and had heavily influenced her personality to make her more violent.<ref name="28.4e1">"Way too passive," Imp murmured.<br/><br/>"So's Shadow Stalker," Tattletale said.<br/><br/>"But Shadow Stalker's passenger isn't.  If there are any undertones, any way that the passengers influence our actions, then Shadow Stalker was definitely influenced.  I dug through her old records, read up on her history."<br/><br/>"What?" Shadow Stalker asked.<br/><br/>"She got aggressive after she got her powers.  Generally more…" I searched for the way to phrase it.<br/><br/>"You fucking looked at my records?"<br/><br/>"…More violent than most people would be, in her shoes.  Lashing out, aimlessly at first, and then with a target, channeling the aggression.  Except it was the same amount of violence, just concentrated into fewer incidents, alongside a pretty extensive bullying campaign." - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/07 Excerpt] from [[Cockroaches 28.4]]</ref>

Her power had a negative interaction with [[Grue]]'s darkness, making it difficult to breathe in her shadow state, forcing her into a middle ground where she was slower and found it draining and painful to re-form after objects passed through her.<ref name="9.6"/>
