Lol. Don't worry about it. It's one of the bigger national languages here, which is why I noticed. xP My character isn't really comic relief, but she's sort of the sweet, quiet one of the group. I can see her trying to calm down Damon and getting on with missions while others are arguing...

[b]Full name:[/b] Rain du Toit

[b]Alias/Codename:[/b] N/A – Still needs one

[b]Age:[/b] 18

[b]Country of origin:[/b] United States of America (New York)

[b]Basic appearance:[/b] Rain has long, curly brown hair to her waist and bangs swept to the side. Her eyes are a light, piercing blue color and she stands at 5,3". She’s quite slim and petite, suiting to her power. Her facial features are delicate and 'sweet' – much like a, ‘girl next door.’ 
Costume: She hasn’t really made a proper costume yet, but she prefers to wear black exercise leggings and a black t-shirt, along with goggles – she’d learned about bugs the hard way, and the leggings offer her freedom of movement.

[b]Skills:[/b] 
~ Unassuming. People tend to think that she’s not a threat, and she doesn’t exactly [i]look[/i] like a superhero. She’s sort of a fan of Natasha, since she’s also on the short side and is often underestimated too (from the stories she’s read, anyway). It can be an advantage for infiltration and combat. 

~ Perception. Rain tends to notice things other people might not when it comes to emotions and body language. She’s a good reader of how people are feeling, and although she’s often in the background, she tends to hear a lot more than those who always talk. This is a result of her being quite sensitive, and having a high EQ. 


[b]Powers:[/b]
~ Super speed. Rain can run really, really fast. Like, to the point where the world seems to almost stop around her. Her body is reinforced to stand the forces that super speed creates. That’s it, really. [Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NnyVc8r2SM ]

[b]Brief bio:[/b]
Rain grew up in a single parent household with her mother, who was the daughter of South African expats. She was never told who her father was, and the most her mother would say was that it was too dangerous to stay with him – although he wasn’t a bad man. She has always wondered who he was.

She attended public school in New York, and gained her super speed at age 13. She didn’t use it for much, unsure and a little bit scared of what the authorities might do. When the Avengers came into the spotlight, she felt a little more accepted. However, that was also when her mother found out about her powers. For some reason, she freaked out and threw Rain out of the house for a few days. Eventually they reconciled, but their relationship was never the same.

Rain felt lost and alone, and wanted to do something with her powers. She contacted SHIELD through a long process, and after some tests, they decided to take her on for the team.

[b]Initial observation report:[/b] Super speed ability, similar to that of Quicksilver and the Flash. Experience has shown this ability to be extremely useful in the right hands. Subject is timid and will need encouragement as well as extensive physical training.

[b]Training regimen/expertise:[/b]
~ Basic combat training. No experience.
~ Strength training. Subject can break walls at high speeds, but needs this for better combat skills.
~ Infiltration training. 

[b]Potential outlook:[/b] Potential for a very good de-escalator of hazardous situations and rescuing civilians in harm's way. 

[b]Best case scenario:[/b] Icon of safety for civilians. Disabler of enemies, infiltration.

[b]Worst case scenario:[/b] Possibility of being too shy to be useful in combat. Relegated to saving civilians in the way of Avengers. Extreme unlikelihood of uncontrolled powers or villainous tendencies.

I'm unsure over whether or not her hair should be silver. It could make it a little too obvious who her father is?
