Name: 王星雨 (Wang Xing Yue)

Alias/Nickname: Wendy Wang (the English name that she has adopted)

“Can you move your arms and legs? Your fingers and toes?”


Appearance: Wendy is tall and slim, with relatively tanned skin and chocolate brown eyes. She has thick, straight black hair which she usually wears in a high ponytail. Her hair goes halfway down her back, but she is considering cutting it to shoulder length because it can be a pain to keep long hair out of her face. Wendy has long, slender fingers characteristic of a piano player although she has never touched a piano in her life. Wendy has a heart-shaped face and eyes that are rather thin. She has a small, flat-ish nose and average sized lips which are a pale red color. Wendy's feet are small in comparison to the rest of her body. 

Height:
5 feet and 7 inches
170.18 centimeters

Weight:
120 pounds
54.43 kilograms

Body Type: willowy

Distinguishing Marks: A long, thin scar running down the side of her face from her left eye to where her face meets her neck-can usually be partially hidden by her hair. The scar is the only mark from a car accident.

Clothing Style: Casual-usually sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. She isn't really one for fashion.


“Where is the pain coming from?”


Personality: Wendy has always been a relatively relaxed and easygoing person. She is ferociously loyal to her friends and family and a go-with-the-flow kind of person. She's mellow and calm, and keeps a cool head under stressful situations. Wendy is always up for chatting with others, but she tends to keep to herself when she is around people that she is unfamiliar with. Full of soft smiles and gentle words, she can be a pushover at times, with a dislike of hurting other peoples' feelings, but if worst comes to worst then Wendy will bite back. She is not easily provoked and doesn't like getting into fights, and can easily sense how people are feeling. However, if someone or something is threatening people she is close to, Wendy will do whatever it takes to get them out of danger. Wendy is dedicated to any cause that she feels strongly about, and she doesn't wish harm upon others unless they're the ones causing harm in the first place. She likes to appreciate the simple things in life-stopping to smell the flowers, so to speak-and adapting to new situations isn't her strongest area of expertise. She genuinely cares for people, perhaps even too much at times. However, she can take charge under pressure if she knows what she has to do and how she has to do it. During those times, Wendy can transform from a shy, reserved woman to a focused, confident leader in a matter of seconds.

Biography: Wendy was born in the suburbs of Nanjing, China called Lai An (来安). She was an only child, as most of her peers were due to China's one-child policy, and she lived with her mother and father on the fifth floor of an apartment building. Her grandparents on her father's side lived in a one-story house five minutes away, walking. She had an aunt and uncle on her father's side in America, and two cousins-Alexandra and Alyssa-who lived in America too. Growing up, Wendy had always been interested in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and wanted to become a doctor when she grew up. Her grandfather was an expert on these traditional medical procedures, and she often spent afternoons learning from him about various herbal plants and remedies. Wendy studied hard in school, and eventually got into Johns Hopkins University. She moved to Baltimore, Maryland, and completed college there, with plans to go to graduate school. 

Shortly before Wendy was to fly to America, she was walking across the street at night when a drunk driver came swerving in front of her. Wendy thought that she was surely dead, but she managed to survive with only a broken arm and a broken leg. The doctors said she was lucky-somehow, she had moved out of the way fast enough to avoid being totally crushed. Wendy forgot about it for a while, her broken bones her main priority. Wendy was released from the hospital in crutches and a cast, and one morning around two weeks after being let out she woke up to find that her leg was feeling strangely painless. Upon further examination, Wendy realized that it was perfectly healed, which puzzled her. How was that even possible? A few days later, Wendy got up, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, and accidentally tripped over the last step as she was walking down the stairs, causing bruises to form on her good leg. To Wendy's surprise, silver sparks began shooting from her fingertips and to the bruises. The sparks completely erased the bruises from her skin. Wendy began experimenting. The first thing she did was heal her broken arm-it came as naturally as breathing. She learned how to control the flow of sparks, instead of simply letting them come whenever there was even the slightest of injuries. That was her first power.

A year or so passed, and Wendy continued to hone her healing power, bewildered yet fascinated by it. She found that it was like running-healing continuously without a break would tire her out. At the same time, Wendy began to think back to the accident that led her to discover her power in the first place, remembering how everyone was shocked that she had even survived. Wendy had never been much of a runner, but she decided to start improving her cardio-respiratory endurance if only for the sake of making healing easier. She discovered her second power one day while out on an early-morning run during her first week in America, when her feet began to pick up speed seemingly on their own accord and she ran and ran before stopping, hardly out of breath. Wendy realized that she had ran out of town and into the surrounding countryside. After returning back to her cousin Alyssa's house, where she had been staying, Wendy began to look more into people with powers like her. She went off to Johns Hopkins, and was on vacation with Alyssa when the Technocrat and his Crusaders put the city on lockdown. She lost track of Alyssa in the ensuing chaos, and joined up with the Resistance in an attempt to somehow get rid of the Technocrat and find her cousin in the process.


Skills: she can speak both Mandarin and English fluently, and she knows some Latin from studying medicine. Wendy has some medical skills although she doesn't have much experience in the field, and is a fairly good runner even without her power.

Powers: Healing and super speed

Both drain energy fairly easily, but as stated above improving cardio-respiratory endurance will make it easier for Wendy to use both powers for longer periods of time. As for the healing, she isn't much good with sicknesses and diseases-it has to be some external injury that she can see. 


“Stay still for me please. This should only take a few minutes....”
