[u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Kendra Martins [u][b]Alias:[/b][/u] Cassandra, formerly Foresight [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 18 [u][b]Sponsor:[/b][/u] Wonder Woman [u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Stoic, stubborn, proud [u][b]Powers:[/b][/u] Kendra has the power of foresight, though her visions are not completely reliable or concrete. They tell her what is [i]most likely[/i] to happen based on the decisions a person is going to make, but not what will [i]definitely[/i] happen, as decisions and choices can change over time. She can access these visions veer mediation, occasionally, but not always, accompanied by incense, which can help make the visions more vivid and clear. She can even control what she sees by thinking of a certain person, place or event that she knows is going to happen. These visions can vary from extremely vivid to brief and unhelpful, with rarely any way to tell how urgent or far away the events foretold within them will occur, and, as said before, the future isn't written in stone. She also had something of a 'danger sense', which will alert her seconds before danger hits. It really only helps her, however, and can't be used to assist in-danger teammates. Kendra also, to aid her with her lack of offensive power, has had training from the Amazons and Wonder Woman, and has even been lent a magical spear, which was christened [i]Aristokles[/i], meaning 'the best glory', that can change shape and responds to verbal commands in Greek. [u][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/u] Kendra has no other powers besides her foresight, and therefore is physically weaker than most heroes, usually having to rely on her wits, training and occasional danger sense to help in her fight, meaning she might be next to useless against large, more powerful threats. Aside from her physical weaknesses, Kendra will also have difficulty getting on with others, often keeping to herself and rarely socialising outside of a battle, which might make working on a team with her incredibly difficult at times. She also likes keeping information shown in her visions to herself, as she believes that keeps her as in a position of power despite her lack of physical strength. On top of this, despite her stoic and proud persona, she's actually very insecure and full of self-loathing, and even has quite the temper that may reveal itself should her weaknesses be exposed. [u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [img]http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab337/Caged_Ardvark/Fellsing%20Cassandra_zpsyq3hrrq2.png[/img] (Special thanks to Aro for creating this awesome micro for me ^^) Kendra is very short. About 5'4", to be exact. Despite her lack of height, she's gained a quite a bit of muscle from her time training at Paradise Isle, making her sturdy and strong. She has blonde hair that is so long she could practically sit on it, though she often has it tied up in a plait, particularly when in battle. While originally pale, she has gain some sun from her time with the Amazons, contributing to a warm tan and a face sprinkled with freckles. She has narrow hazel eyes that always seem to be set into a glare, a tiny snub of a nose, slightly crooked teeth with a prominent gap between her front two teeth. Her costume can be seen in the image above, with armour beneath her hood, and she seems to rarely wear anything else. Expect her when not wearing her costume and armour to be wearing very baggy, loose clothes, and she doesn't seem to like showing much skin. She seems to favour the colour green. She also has a silver pendant, given to her by a very dear friend, which she almost never takes off. She keeps it under her clothes and costume, and it seems to have a picture inside, but she'll only look at it when she feels she's alone. [u][b]BRIEF Bio:[/b][/u] Kendra was not born with her powers. In fact, up until the age of 14, she lived a fairly normal albeit lonely life. She was an only child and her parents both worked full-time jobs, often meaning they would not be back before Kendra came home from school. Being shy and socially awkward as a child, she had very few friends. However, she did have one friend, a very close friend: Juliet Silverman. Kendra and Juliet were as close as two people could be. "Like sisters," Juliet often said, though, as Kendra got older (around age 13) and began to hit puberty, she started to wonder if it was more than that, if her feelings for Juliet extended beyond friendship, if she... loved Juliet. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when the supervillain and terrorist Snafu (my character and, no, he will not be popping up in this RP) entered the picture, when he blew up the local police station. Juliet's father was a policeman and Juliet had been there visiting her father when the station was attacked. Juliet's father and a couple of other police man somehow manage to escape with minimal injury, but, alas, Juliet did not. Kendra was devastated. Her best friend, her only real friend, had been killed. For the next few months of so, she locked herself up in her room, not going to school or talking to anyone. Her parents, who were never good at dealing with their daughter, decided to leave her alone, believing she would get better in time. However, what they didn't know was that ever since Juliet's death, Kendra had started to become obsessed with occult and spiritualism. She began researching on necromancy and demonology, hoping to find some way to bring her friend back. After much searching, she finally found something, stories about a demon known as Mammon, the demon of greed who would grant a human's greatest desire, albeit for a price. Kendra didn't care about any 'price', she was too young to understand about consequences and too possessed by her grief. So she summoned the demon Mammon and asked for him to bring her friend back. However, Mammon confessed that, despite his powers, he could not revive the dead, yet he did say that he would gladly grant any other request Kendra desired. Kendra was upset... "If only I could see the future," she said. "I could have prevented it... I could have saved her." She didn't mean that as a request, but Mammon decided to interpret it as such. "As you wish," he said, and with a click of his fingers, he was gone, though Kendra begged him to return. It was only a couple of days later that Kendra's powers began to make themselves known, first showing when she managed to save a little girl from getting run over by a speeding car. A few days past, each day passing with Kendra's powers resurfacing and allowing her to help other people. She couldn't control them and wasn't sure what to do with them, but she was grateful for them nonetheless. They gave her a purpose, a reason to keep going even though Juliet wasn't there anymore. She couldn't save Juliet, but she could save others. Of course, everything comes with a price, and Kendra soon got a second visit from Mammon a month later. He told her the powers he gave her was a taster and if she wanted, she could keep them for the rest of life... she agreed that, once she was at the age of 20, she would come to the underworld with him and become his bride. Kendra was a little frightened, and yet, she didn't want to give up her powers. So she agreed. "See you in six years," he said with a grin, and vanished again. For the next year, she used her powers to save others, fighting crime as the vigilante Foresight, at the time NOT sponsored by the League, which meant she was not trusted or liked in the public eye. She particularly made it a personal matter to deal with the villain Snafu, using her powers to catch him and lock him away for good. But her last battle with Snafu was a close call, and she decided that it was too dangerous for her to continue, so she instead settled on sending anonymous tips to the police and letting them deal with it. It was only when she was nearing her 17th birthday that she started to worry about her deal with Mammon and began to regret it, knowing she only had three more years before he would come to collect. She tried to summon him in an attempt to call off the deal, but no matter how many times she tried, the demon would not appear. It seemed there was nothing she could do... at least, not by herself. It was then she decided to contact help. She first thought about the JL Dark, but knowing Constantine's reputation, she decided against it, and instead went to the Justice League. They were unsure of what to do at first, until they decided that the best course of action was to send her to Wonder Woman, who was now ruling over the Paradise Isles with the other Amazons, believing that only could Wonder Woman protect but also teach Kendra to protect herself. Kendra lived at Paradise Isles for about a year, training under Wonder Woman, as well acting as a soothsayer for the queen. Back home, her parents did not know, and still don't, where she has gone and she been written off as a 'missing person'. Kendra feels this is for best. She doubts her parents will believe her anyhow. Kendra had also discarded her old identity of Foresight and changed her alias to 'Cassandra', after the Greek soothsayer. In fact, Kendra seems to have adopted the name Cassandra as though it were her real name, asking Wonder Woman and the other Amazons to refer to her as 'Cassandra', and prefers that to 'Kendra', as she feels that that life is behind her now. Still, she keeps a reminder of her past: a small picture of her old friend Juliet, which she keeps in a silver locket that Juliet gave her for her 13th birthday, so many years ago. Recently, though, Wonder Woman has noticed that perhaps Cassandra needs more than just protection, and she needs to learn how to get along with others her own age, so she sent her off to the Young Justice in order to learn how to, well, be a human being again. She promises she'll keep in touch, and that the League will still do their best to look after her and make sure Mammon doesn't come to get her. Cassandra is skeptical, but she has been talked into it, and has come to terms with the idea on the basis that the team might need her powers. Now, she's just arrived in Star City, and is determined to take the team by storm. [u][b]What's Changed:[/b][/u] Very little. She's had a little longer to train with the Amazons (about a month or two, at the most), meaning her fighting skills are better, but is perhaps a little less likely to warm to others as quickly, and will probably take a lot more to gain respect her new teammates. Spending over a year with a group of proud warrior women who look down on mortals will do that to you. [u][b]Notes:[/b][/u] - Cassandra's past is one she keeps to herself. Only the League know the truth about her deal with Mammon, and have agreed not to divulge this information to the YJ, hoping that Cassandra will tell them herself when she's ready. - Cassandra is a lesbian, though she hasn't yet admitted this to herself. She does believe she was genuinely in love with Juliet, but doesn't think herself of loving women as a whole. Then again, she doesn't really think of herself as loving men. If you ever asked her, she'd claim she is incapable of romantic feelings towards anyone (besides Juliet, of course). [u][b]Sample Post:[/b][/u] WIP
