Bio: Azalea grew up with her mother and step father. She never knew her real father, she only knew that he was someone get mother never wanted to talk about. She also knew that both her mother and herself had their names legally changed so that her father couldn't find them. 

As she grew up her step father taught her all she needed to know when it came to fine arts. He was a fine arts professor at the local college and had been teaching Azalea vocals, acting, and dancing since before she could remember. As a result she had won many awards in said aspects of performance. She began to learn instruments such as the piano, the violin and many others by the time she hit middle school but none of them really appealed to her. 

It wasn't until her first year in high school that her powers began to show themselves. It started out small, knowing when someone was creeping up on her was the first thing to happen. It was quickly obvious to her parents that she had an acute 6th sense, though they all thought nothing of it. The next thing to occur was the occasional electronic shorting out in her hand or near her, this of, course was also brushed off. Of course unruly hair was what came with the shorting electronics, as her hair would always stand on end like a static covered ballon was over her head. 

Her parents didn't start to have real concern for what was happening to there daughter until it got to the point were nobody could touch her without being shocked. From there is escalated quickly, though they still weren't entirely sure what was happening to her. However, one day, Azalea had become aggressively angry with an ex boyfriend and had shoved her hand out to keep the boy away from her. Without knowing it she had sent a small bolt of low voltage lightning into the boy's shoulder. He ended up hospitalized though was eventually fine.

By her junior year in high school she was considered a loner and a freak, she had bottled up her emotions to attempt to control her still developing ability, and had quit all aspects of preforming. When she turned 18 she dropped out of school, left her home and began life and a vigilante, more or less. She took random jobs from unknown sources to get money to survive and still does to this day, now five months after leaving home.  

Other: She got the scar on her face from a particularly nasty job that she avoids telling others about. She usually keeps the scar covered with a bandage.

She doesn't have an official costume she simply wears a yellow bandana with holes cut in it as a mask along with black combat boots, ripped blue jeans and and black tank top with black fingerless biker gloves.
