Character from Worm by Wildbow
A singer with a Master power she barely understands — convicted on trumped-up charges and sent to the Birdcage because the system fears what she represents more than what she did.
Paige Mcabee was a singer whose power let her influence people through her voice — a low-level Master ability she didn't fully understand and couldn't always control. An incident with an ex-boyfriend triggered a disproportionate legal response: a trial where she was gagged, denied meaningful defense, and sentenced to the Birdcage — the inescapable prison for the worst parahuman criminals. She is not a villain. She is an example — proof that the system will destroy you if your power frightens the wrong people. In the Birdcage, she survives by being useful and unthreatening, singing for cell blocks and hoping that being small will keep her alive.
Yellow-feathered hair — possibly a Case 53 mutation or a cosmetic side effect of her power. Otherwise an ordinary young woman. In the Birdcage, she wears whatever's available and keeps her head down. Her voice is her most distinctive feature — melodic, resonant, the kind of voice that fills a room without trying.
