[b]Name:[/b] Natalie "Firefly" Lockheart [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Appearance:[/b] She has blonde hair styled into a ponytail going down to her mid back. She has green eyes. She used to wear stupid looking red glasses and had unprofessional looking hair but switched to contacts and prettied herself up more now. However, after some experiences she's not as afraid to go back to her old look and loose some of her pretty appearance as she gets rough and tumble in a fight. [b]Personality:[/b] She used to be a geeky kid who loved bug collecting, not having many friends as a result as they all thought she was weird and made fun of her. She rebranded herself as a cool kid after reaching high school, although this never felt right to her. She had trouble enjoying doing standard girly things and putting on acts, always feeling like her true calling was elsewhere. Seeing a group of other girls picking on a geeky kid like she was once, she blew up in his defense and made a scene, making everyone think she was weird once again and avoided her. Letting off steam in a small forest near the school, she spotted some cool looking fireflies and reverted back to her old ways, chasing after it for a better look. It's then that they entered into her soul and sealed her fate as a so called "weird firefly kid". She's become more feisty and tsundere-like after this experience, not trusting in other people as much as she trusts in herself, bugs, and her spirit animal. However, she doesn't truly dislike humans, at least in general, even if she does have bad things to say about them on occasion and feels unfairly left out of things just because of who she is. If she does learn to trust someone or feels pity towards them then she can be very kind to them to the point of self sacrificing. Otherwise she mostly likes to be left alone now to settle her own problems herself, just her and her bugs. [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Physical Abilities-[/b] She's not supernatural in physical ability, just a normal girl who got super powers by meeting up with her spirit animal. [b]Advanced Bug Knowledge-[/b] She knows a lot about a ton of different types, which can come in handy in very rare circumstances. [b][u]Powers[/u][/b] [b]Firefly Spirit Animal-[/b] She can summon firefly spirits out of her own soul using her energy to fuel them. Her fireflies glitter brightly, lighting up dark places enough to see clearly a good distance away without causing any blinding effects from being too bright. After three seconds of charge time where their glow expands further around them and intensifies, they can fire their magical glowing energy as deadly beams traveling 80 miles per hour and capable of punching through almost anything not of incredibly high defense if shot at point blank range. At a distance of 55 feet they can still cleanly pierce steel suits of armor but further then that they loose even more power. Firing a beam causes the firefly to evaporate after the beam is shot for three seconds, although if fired between two fireflies it can be sustained for six seconds until they both evaporate. However, fireflies can combine their energy as they form into a single firefly to increase the amount of time proportionally. She can have up to 40 fireflies out at any given moment but if they evaporate they can only be regenerated from her soul very slowly, making them only come back after an hour. She only has a total fire time of 2 minutes between them all, per hour, given these calculations. A secret power of theirs is the light defense pulse. They can release all of their energy in a pulse that defends against any attacks entering it by pushing it back, able to knock away a gorilla with a single firefly's pulse, although the range is limited to just an inch so it's very rarely anything besides a defensive technique unless attached to her fist, for example, and activates as her punch gets into range. Due to the fireflies having nearly instantaneous reaction times, they can activate the pulse before she's even aware of it to deflect attacks that would have normally gotten through. The lasers or pulse cannot harm her due to being her spirit animal. [b][u]Equipment[/u][/b] [b]Clothing:[/b] She doesn't wear armor but instead often wears normally human clothing. She prefers jeans but does wear a variety of clothing on occasion, not always sticking to the tomboy look just to prove some point. [b]Weapons:[/b] None [b][u]Bio[/u][/b] Where she comes from, finding one's spirit animal gives the person special powers when they combine with their soul. However, they must first be worthy and "find" themselves in order to do so. When she was a freshman in high school she tried to act cool but went to her true calling of being a geek not afraid to stand up for others even if it cost her newfound popularity. This allowed her to see her firefly spirit animal once again, originally seeing them as a young child that caused her interest in bug collecting in the first place but she never managed to catch them until now. Despite being inexperienced it was clear that her powers with her spirit animal were immense, causing interest in her to develop among certain groups who wished to use her power. Not being very trusting anymore she turned most of them down instantly, although after meeting with a boy about her age working for a group known as GUIDE, that slowly changed. He proved that he cared about people and was out for the best interested of others, including herself, so she decided to "semi" join them after a fateful battle with an evil spirit animal. She'd help GUIDE out on occasions where she could be of use, getting much needed paychecks in return, and that's about all she wanted to deal with them for a while until she started warming up to them, hanging out at their headquarters more and more without her even realizing it.
