Mallory by Anne Farron

She has an ability to summon Eldritch like tentacles from her body. This causes a massive strain on her however and causes her body to degrade and break down, already having resulted in a lost arm and reducing her life span. She uses these powers in dire need.

She also has a mild psychic gift to telekinetically move small objects.

Mallory was born into a cult worshiping the Ogdru Jahad. Her mother was a scientist fascinated by unearthly beings and tried to experiment on her fellow cultists to create superhuman abilities to mimic the Ogdru Jahad.
