[b]Backstory:[/b]
[indent]Born in Jamaica, Tanya was the daughter of a reggae-rap duo known as [i]Smokey Summers[/i]. They were rather popular in Jamaica, and America. They often went to the states in order to record songs, preform live, handle business with record companies, or just hang out with their musician friend. They brought Tanya along most of the time in order to keep her from developing emotional problems from the lack of love and attention from her parents. In fact, they intended on raising Tanya to be the third member of their band. She was given singing, and guitar, lessons from teachers, and her parents, and was encouraged to explore her creative side. The lessons paid off, and she was proving to have inherited her parents musical talents. Now, they figured that she could use a solid education, as well as a place for her to develop her musical skills. So, Tanya was shipped off to the Copperworth Academy, and remained there for a couple years.[/indent]

[b]Power:[/b]
[i]The Bird of Paradise.[/i]
[indent]To summarize, this power is basically Avian Physiology and Aerokinesis mashed together. Tanya has the ability to transform into a bird-human hybrid with an appearance similar to harpies. Meaning, primarily, her arms and legs will be transforming. Her arms will morph into fifteen-feet long wings, with massive feathers. I should note that she won't have any hands in this state, but Tanya's wings will be flexible enough for her to grab things. Her legs will similarly be covered in variously colored feathers, but she'll have four large talons on her feet, and her legs will be covered in rough, black, keeled, scales. These talons are very strong, and capable of grabbing objects. A kick from her would not be great. There are feathers and scales in other parts of Tanya body. A unique feature of these feathers is that they're glowing their color, and are razor sharp, so running your hand through them will not be great. Now, the first ability this grants - flight - is obvious, but works in a different way than you'd expect. Instead of flapping her wings, she's capable of a more supernatural flight that's assisted by the aforementioned Aerokinesis. She can do everything you'd expect a flier to do, but she can hover in the air. While in the air, she's incredibly fast and agile. Capable of complex aerials maneuvers and outrunning everything on the ground. Now, I have to cover the aerokinetic aspects. Tanya has a limited control over air (Or more accurately, wind) using her wings. To put it in simple terms, a strong flap of her wings and send a gust of air that'll send the unprepared flying. She can control the force and size of these blasts. She can use this power in order to give herself a burst of speed in any direction. The final ability that Tanya has is that she can fire off her razor-sharp feathers at high-speeds like daggers using her aerokinesis to put uumph behind it. While they don't have the weight or density to really penetrate anything armored, they can give someone a nice cut. 

As an unfortunate side-effect, this power has given her weak, hollow, bones. In, and out, of her Bird-form.[/indent]
