Lihua clearly looks the part of a matriarch that is leaving her prime. She carries herself with grace like royalty, and never slips up. She looks like that that condescending bitch who looks down on you, and judges you for your lifestyle (Both are true). Everything about her is neat and orderly, she wouldn't let you live if you so much as saw her with a spec of dirt on her. Lihua is a very tall, obviously Asian woman, the kind of woman that just stands out in a crowd. She has a thin build - but recently, Lihua has put on some weight. She has developed a bit of a gut, and thickness in her arms, legs, and breasts. Fortunately, she isn't completely rotund. She's clearly working to lose this weight. Though, there was a point where she was nearly in peak physical condition. Those days are long gone. Moving on, Lihua's arms and legs are rather proportionate to her body. She has rather broad shoulders due to her build. Due to the heels she wears, she tends to appear a lot taller than people may guess. Her bra-size is a DD-cup. Lihua's skin is a whitish color with heavy golden-overtones - true to her Asian Heritage. Her facial features are Asianic, more consistent with China. Lihua is battle scarred, if she takes off her clothes, everyone would see every scar she has. Burn scars, slashing scars, bullethole scars - it's astonishing that she's even alive here today. She's managed to keep the scars off her face, though. Most of her scars are fading. Other than that, Lihua's body has an appropriate amount of stretch marks - a given, since she's recently been putting on the weight, - blemishes, and wrinkles, given that she is aging. Most notably, there is a large mole on her right cheek. Lihua's facial features are heart-shaped, and she has a small head. True to her heritage, her eyes are slanted, and have a deep-brown color to them. Her nose is triangle-shaped, and very pointed, with triangle-shaped nostril. She has a small mouth - Her lips are thin, and usually painted a pink, or red, color with lipstick. Lihua has a strong jawline, and a square-shaped chin, with particularly small cheeks. Lihua has small, diamond-shaped, ears. Lihua's hair is straight, clean, and very well-maintained. She keeps it styled in a bob-cut, with bangs off to the side.

Lihua's eyes are always seen behind a pair of sophisticated glasses. On the job, Lihua tends to dress up like a business woman, wearing pinstriped suits, various dress-shirts, and skirts. Lihua tends to wear heels that elevates her height by a few inches. In more casual situations, Lihua tends to dress well anyway. She'll wear a skirt of some sort, along with a dress shirt. Even if she's at home, she always makes a note to dress very well. Lihua wears jewelry, along with things like sunglasses. Lihua also tends to carry around a purse, usually a fancy black leather purse. However, this is more than a simple purse. Inside the purse is a hidden compartment with a gun holster. Her glock. On NEST missions (Which Lihua rarely goes on), Lihua has her own custom Battle Dress. To reflect the one that she used earlier. It consists of a black flak-jacket, with a black longcoat thrown over it. Along with padded combat pants, a tactical belt (and two holsters), steel-toe combat boots, gloves, and a shirt to wear under the armor

One fierce woman. Lihua, despite everything she's gone through, has kept her competitive and standoffish personality. People refer to her as being strong, albeit very aloof and callous. Lihua is a woman that holds her pride and accomplishments as a woman above all else. She would hate to take another blow to her pride. Which is why she's very quick to retaliate once someone attacks her. Someone throws a punch, and she's certain to hit right back. And if she doesn't get even in that moment, expect her to retaliate at the earliest possible opportunity. That's just her beliefs that she was raised upon. Not returning a proper show of force is a form of weakness. She's quite haughty, and arrogant, her body simply emanates vanity. Her pride and her arrogance combined basically means she isn't the type to accept help. She believes that, if she gets herself into something, she can certainly get herself out of it, and see the endeavor to the end. Without needing a helping hand, or a crutch. And hell, she has the drive and talents to see it to the end. This, somewhat applies to other people as well, she tends to look down on the people who cannot do things themselves. However, she will help people if asked to. For reasons as shallow as boosting her own ego.

This also means that she's a firm believer of fighting your own battles. If someone gets into a fight they cannot finish, then Lihua will tell them that she will not fight for them. Only once things go too far shall she step in. Which means the same applies to her, she refuses to take help when she's fighting. Of course, this doesn't apply if an organization such as NEST fights, as it truly isn't personal (far as she can tell). This is heavily connected to her beliefs that people should take responsibility for their actions, and they shouldn't cop out because they've gotten in over their heads. Those who can't are lower than dogs in her eyes. Aside from the raging arrogance, one of Lihua's other defining traits is her discipline, and patience. Years of years of training and experience has given Lihua an amount of temperance. The ability to resist base desires and hold in her anger. Her will is iron-hard, and very rarely will she give in to temptation or any of the sort. This woman contains her anger very well, though, she's rather easy to annoy. She'll shrug off petty insults, and other irritants - usually distracting herself. However, once people push her buttons too many times, she can be a handful. Very hard to control - and even harder to calm down. Though, she has a habit of slipping into Chinese whenever she gets annoyed. Lihua is very determined, and rough, once she gets herself set on a goal, she can be very hard to get her away from that goal. Lihua is very competitive, and always strives to reach the top. She won't hesitate to fight for her positions. When you need a leader, she's there.

In conversation, Lihua is very polite, albeit rather condensing. She's very choice-y of words, and quiet, only speaking if she has something to say. Though, her openness is rather situational. In professional settings, she's rather aloof, to the point, and rarely shows emotion. In casual settings, she's much more friendly, and passionate, casually throwing jokes and having fun - even then, don't expect her to share much more about herself other than her accomplishments. Though, she isn't as straight forward as people make her out to be. Even in casual situations, she could be called the "scheming" type. She's constantly seeking to learn something that'd allow her to get an edge on other people. Around people she distastes, she tends to go into closed-off mode until they go away - acting very passive aggressive. Underneath the friendliness, she tends to judge the people she's around silently. Judging them off their hobbies, jobs, and all around life choices. Hell, she'll even judge you by the shoes you wear. She keeps these sentiments to herself. With this judgmental attitude, she filters the people she wishes to associate with. At times, she'd flat out tell people that she doesn't want anything to do with them. It's relatively uncommon for her to forge close bonds with other people. The way she treats her family differs from how she treats friends and co-workers. She expects the best from her children, and she guides them so they don't go down the same paths that she has. She only wants what's best for her family. I don't even have to say that Lihua's a mother bear. Fuck with her cubs, and she'll eat you. Lihua is very in touch with her sexuality, and won't hesitate to hit on a man that's her own age. Though, she isn't looking for any longterm relationships.

Morality-wise, Lihua truly is a mixed bag. One would get the impression that she has no morality, given how far she's willing to go to serve her goals. Going far enough to kill a person if necessary, and betray even the closest friends. However, she still has some semblance of humanity left in her. She will help people in certain situations, such as when she truly loses nothing, or, mainly, when she has something to gain out of it. That isn't to say that she's not sympathetic to people. She won't stand by as a woman's getting sexually assaulted, and she'll at least spare a penny for a homeless man. Nor will she leave someone (that she feels doesn't deserve it) to die. Though, she isn't the type who'd go out of her way to help these people - only when she crosses paths with them should she help them. Lihua's maternal instincts are still strong as ever. She has a soft spot for young, innocent, children. They really bring out her emphatic and sympathetic side. She'll certainly comfort a child in need, especially crying children. As for other people (such as teens and adults)? They'll usually get a scathing comment for their vulnerability, and told to toughen up.

Under it all, Lihua is a very cruel and ruthless woman, who will go to any length to achieve her goals. Whether those goals are good, or bad, and how she obtains them are moral or not. In her eyes, it is survival of the fittest, honor and rules don't mean much. Right now, almost everything she does is for her family. She just wants a quiet life - but at the same time, she doesn't. Lihua believes that there is only one place for her; the battlefield. Lihua truly feels awkward, since she's worked with the military for all of her life. Lihua is haunted by her past, she's seen, and done some very fucked up shit. Things that keep her awake at night, and wonder what would happen if it caught up with her. She doesn't trust anyone enough to open up and tell her story, mainly because she's paranoid that the country she fled to would forsake her, and her daughters. Lihua is deeply paranoid, and keeps a gun close to her at all times. People want her dead.

Interests? Lihua is a woman that enjoys the quiet, simple, moments over the hectic and excited chaos teens are used to. Though, I should note one thing that she loves: donuts. If she isn't seen with one of these sweets, something is wrong. The second she came to America and tried one of these treats, she found them simply delectable. Fucking with her donuts is a good way to get her angry. Now, Lihua enjoys Yoga, martial arts, bike rides through the city, and sculpting statues with her power.

Lihua has, due to (You know) living there for a good chunk of her life, a near mastery of the Mandarin Chinese language. She can maintain a conversation in Chinese for extended periods of time. It's English she has trouble with. Now, Lihua has, for a good chunk of her life, worked for the military, and has tons of experience under her belt. I should note her hand-to-hand skills first. Lihua nearly achieved black belt status in Tai Chi in her youth, and has been taught Chinese Military hand-to-hand. She was a pretty badass fighter.... Was. She's rusty, and hasn't practiced either form of martial arts in years - not to mention the fact she isn't getting any younger. She'd get her ass kicked by someone younger that knows what they're doing. Lihua also knows how to shoot a variety of firearms. Pistols, assault rifles... though, she prefers a simple pistol, that's what she's best at. She has a good aim, it degraded a bit, but she can still shoot straight. She has an easier time shooting a pistol, though. And she has loads of experience dealing with, and fighting Metahumans. Along with espionage and information gathering. Some of these skills have stuck with her enough for her to use them on reflex. Finally, her most defining talent is leadership. She's been put in charge of a large group of people and lead them to victory. That leadership skill translates to other fields... quite well. She's also incredibly skilled with using her powers, as she was trained, and has much combat experience.

Elemental

At the right age, Lihua has developed a form of terrakinesis that is limited to controlling concrete. The very matter that makes up the very city of Verthaven. With hand and feet motions, Lihua is capable of manipulating concrete. Moving it telekinetically, and shaping it. These two uses have plenty of offensive and defensive applications when you get down to it. On a small scale, Lihua can shoot concrete shards, create spikes of concrete, or forge a shield around herself. On a larger scale, Lihua can create dramatic structures, and absolutely destroy other structures - with a considerable amount of effort, of course. With this power, she can bend the city to her will. One trick she came up with is basically creating Earthquakes. She can focus, and cause the concrete around her to begin violently shaking. Causing untold destruction in the area. It'll leave her exhausted afterwards. Another trick is using her power to move around, by surfing on concrete. She can use this power to essentially fly by pulling a giant piece of concrete off the ground and ride it.

Lihua's power works as far as the eye can see - however, the further she goes out, the less effective the whole power is. She has a harder time controlling concrete that is far away from her than what's close to her, and it'll take more energy out of her. The same goes with the larger feats. Lihua's power is limited by the purity of the concrete. If it has asphalt, rebar, or any of the sort, she'll have a very hard time controlling it. It takes more energy, and she won't be able to move it as easily.

First of which, whenever Lihua manipulates concrete, she'll become "grounded". A state which her mobility will be very limited. It'll be very difficult for her to move, until she stops and regains her mobility. Even then, there will be a couple second lapse until she regains the ability to move normally. Using her power causes her skin to dry up and crack. Usually it's small and subtle with the basic uses, but the grand uses will instantly cause a massive crack in her skin. Which... is pretty bloody and painful.

Lihua is an Intelligence Officer and Investigator for NEST - was recently promoted to Head of the I&I (Intelligence and Investigations) Department. Former leader of the secret Chinese variation known as the Gai Hexin Yuan. They were more of spies than Metahuman regulators, and Lihua was the best one. They carried out countless espionage missions against neighboring countries, and battled many Metahumans. She keeps a Glock 17 as her sidearm, and has several more hidden behind a safe in her house. She has a license to conceal, and very rarely will a gun leave her side - even off duty she keeps a gun in her purse. As for automobiles, Lihua likes it real classy-like. She normally drives a modified 2015 Cadillac XTS Luxury Sedan (A gift from her brother), with tinted windows so nobody can see in, of course. There's a scanner and other equipment in here. She's not too much of a field agent, so she rarely drives this on missions. There aren't any NEST logos on it.

Lihua has many contacts within the criminal underworld that she uses to scope out the bigger threats. Usually she blackmails them, or makes a deal.

Formerly a very frightening woman in terms of appearance and personality... a few years later, and she's only frightening in terms of appearance. Lihua Zhao is a woman who's former prime has gotten even further away from her. With half a century under her belt, it hasn't degraded her appearance all that much (Despite having two kids over her lifetime). Age truly isn't a factor - though it shows in her wrinkles, and face. Lihua is a woman that simply breathes elegance and class. It's the way she dresses, how well-maintained she is, and even the way she walks is a sure sign that she's in a much higher class than everyone else. Neat and orderly is her creed that she lives by to this very day. She appears to emanate vanity. However, the woman that lived and breathed pure arrogance is long gone. She has been replaced with a more humble, and kinder woman.

Lihua still has the looks and demeanor of a matriarch - the top woman in her family. She calls it her "Royal demeanor." Lihua's most striking feature is that she is tall. Like ridiculously. She absolutely towers over most women, and even men that aren't tall enough. It makes her very hard to miss. Her build is quite thin, her arms, legs, and stomach have a bit of fat packed on to them from childbirth not that long ago. Fortunately, she's been able to keep thin by practicing yoga, jogging, and bike riding. For her age, she is actually in great shape. Though, when she was in her twenties, she was at peak physical condition. A bit of that condition shows when she demonstrates that she's much stronger than she looks. Lihua's arms and legs are quite proportionate to her body (With her legs making up most of her height), and her shoulders are quite broad given her frame. Her build, while solid, is still quite curvaceous. Lihua's hips are a tad wide (but not ridiculously). Though, she's very blessed in the chest area with impressive 42HH bra. Something she tends to flaunt.

Lihua passed down much of her traits down to her children. Namely her ridiculous height, and her Asian heritage. Lihua's skin is a whitish color with golden-overtones - true to her Asian Heritage. Her facial features are Asianic, consistent with the Chinese. Her skin... well, it's seen better days. Lihua is quite battle scarred. Her powers has caused her wounds that traveled all over her body, it looks like her skin was cracked stone. These scars are all over her body... but have faded a bit. Lihua hides them with her clothing. However, there is one of these cracked scars on her face, starting at her jaw. However, she has wounds from other incidents. Lihua has bullethole, burn, and acid, scars on her upper body. These scars are, again, hidden by her body, but if someone were to see her naked, they'd be amazed that she's alive here today. Other than that, Lihua has a lot of stretch marks on her belly. A given, since she's had two kids.

Most notably, there is a large mole on her right cheek. Lihua's facial features are heart-shaped, and she has a small head. True to her heritage, her eyes are slanted, and have a deep-brown color to them. Her nose is triangle-shaped, and very pointed, with triangle-shaped nostril. She has a small mouth - Her lips are thin, and usually painted a pink, or red, color with lipstick. Lihua has a strong jawline, and a square-shaped chin, with particularly small cheeks. Lihua has small, diamond-shaped, ears. Lihua's hair is straight, clean, and very well-maintained. Thanks to the superb hair stylists within Baybridge, she managed to get her hair styled in a Chinese-bun, held up by a double-pointed knitting needle.

Lihua dresses much like royalty. She likes to appear sophisticated, and very good, whenever she wears her outfits. What helps is the squared, thin-rimmed glasses. Her favorite color is blue, and her second favorite color is black. However, her outfits tend to gravitate towards the latter. Due to her rather high income, she's capable of buying some of the best looking outfits, without being too ridiculous with the price tags. Lihua, even casually, always seems to wear a dress of some sort. These dresses are always black, and are quite modest (Despite showing a bit of cleavage). These dresses are accentuated by black heels that brings Lihua's height up even further, fancy gloves, and jewelry such as earrings and necklaces.

Every time she goes out, it's always a different dress (And she'd be quite disgruntled if something happened to it). While she's a teacher for Academy 61, she tends to alternate between a dress, and a pin-striped suit. Though, she likes the dress more. On special occasions however, Lihua opts out of the American dresses, and wear a cheongsam (Or qípáo). Lihua also tends to carry around a purse, usually a fancy black leather purse. However, this is more than a simple purse. Inside the purse is a hidden compartment with a gun holster. Her Smith & Wesson Model 686. The other thing she has when she's walking around on the street is, oddly enough, a parasol. She's seem a few parasols, and thought they were just great. So, she has five different black parasols that she uses when she goes out for a walk. It keeps the sun out of her old, weary, eyes.

Seven years ago, Lihua saw herself as the prideful, arrogant, competitive, aloof, callous, and ruthless matriarch of the Zhao family. She was a very disdainful woman that only thought about herself, and her family. That did everything to get ahead of everyone else, and make life perfect for their family. The kind of woman that was a terrible human being in general.

Now... she's different now.

Lihua spent several years reflecting on her previous behavior, and she came to the realization that she needed to change. So, after the Verthaven disaster, she spent the next seven years of her life improving upon her behavior. Now, the cruel, callous woman has been replaced with a much softer, humane, person. Lihua Zhao is a nice, soft-spoken, woman that is incredible polite and cordial. She treats other people with respect - always giving a person a chance to prove themselves to her. Lihua is known for her rather cool, and calm personality. Almost like she is professional at all times. She seems to be devoid of energy - but, she often shows her playful side to people. Cracking jokes... her brand of humor seems to be sarcastic, and zany. Though, even while joking, she is very choice-y of words, and thinks about what she's going to say before she says it. Despite her friendliness, she can come off as aloof sometimes. She isn't super open, and sometimes will just find a spot to be alone and remain alone.

This polite, professional demeanor is the result of years of training to discipline her. Despite her changes in character, this disciplined persona remains to the very end. Lihua is a woman that has restraint. She will not give into temptation easily, and keeps her emotions in check. She's incredibly patient (Not as patient with other people, but yeah), She's willing to wait for ages before taking action, and she only takes action when it's appropriate. Some people may call this hesitation, but Lihua calls it considering all possibilities before she does anything. Her most notable trait is the fact that she holds in her anger very well, and is very slow to anger. She'll shrug off insults, and whatnot, without the slightest change in demeanor - she can be quite easy to annoy, though. This patience, and ability to hold in her anger prevents her from acting rashly. However, if Lihua is angered, she gets furious. The few people who managed to set her off tend to realize that she's incredibly fierce, loud, and frightening.

Lihua is a very confident woman, that does not doubt her abilities. This confident shows whenever she's talking, and whenever she has to do something. Though, unlike most people, she backs up her confidence with sheer skill. Though, she's confident enough to be willing to talk to anyone she finds attractive. Despite her old age, she's still very in touch with her sexuality and romantic side, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Though, in terms of sexuality, Lihua is easily the world's straightest woman (Seriously, scientists are studying how she can be so straight). She has never had a single sexual thought about a person of the same gender. Lihua's very ambitious, and wishes to constantly move up in the world. Even though she's in a good position, Lihua will start to feel fatigue whenever she doesn't move forward. Back in the day, she used to do anything to reach the top, but now she changed somewhat and has a different mindset now. She doesn't go to the same lengths anymore. Lihua certainly isn't the type to bend forward, and take punishment from people. If someone hits her, she hits back, but even harder. That was her creed as a woman. They find out that she's quite a handful.

Lihua's personal creed is self-reliance above all else. Throughout her life, she's had the idea that, despite all the awful things that happened to her, the world doesn't owe her anything, along with the inverse. She doesn't prefer to depend on other people, when she can simply do things for herself. Whenever she gets herself into something, she'll get herself out of it. Simple as that. Because of this, she doesn't like "help" from other people. People volunteering themselves to help her are quick to earn her scorn. Lihua's a realist, and very down to earth. She can come off as pessimistic as she deflects idealistic claims. She's seen the worst of humanity (Hell, she used to be one of them), and been through literal hell, and that doesn't inspire idealism. She has a habit of calling people who believe in such foolish things children, and tends to ignore them. Though, she tries not to be so harsh and judgmental.

When giving advice, Lihua tends to be very blunt because she's down to earth. She isn't afraid to mince words, and will tell people what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. She'll certainly tell someone that they're being whiny and self-important. Through years of experience, Lihua is very wise and intelligent. She knows how to deal with people, and has seen all sorts of problems (In fact, Lihua feels like she's seen it all). She's seen things people wouldn't believe.

Morality-wise, Lihua's been making improvements. Back in Verthaven, she could be considered Lawful Evil because of all the lengths she was willing to go to under NEST to ensure that she gets the job done. Now, she's more on the Neutral-lawful scale, perhaps leaning on good. On one hand, Lihua wants a simple life in which she, and her daughter, is happy and safe from harm. She'll stay out of conflicts that she has no stake in, and prefer to let the younger, more obligated, people handle the problems that may arise. On the other hand, Lihua's perfectly willing to help people if she comes across them. She has the ability to help people regardless, so why stand by? When dealing with foes, she tries not to go to the same lengths as she did before. She attempts to show mercy to enemies, instead of mentally dehumanizing them.

Lihua is a family woman to her core. Despite being rough around the edges, she loves both of her daughters (And all of her nieces, and sole nephew) with all of her heart, and only wants to see them succeed in life. She used to be aloof towards them, but she's now trying to make an active presence in their lives. There was a time in which her daughters were the only thing stopping her from going insane, and she held them above all else in her life. Which is why she was so willing to burn so many bridges, and be an awful person. Because she was a bad person, but that doesn't mean they had to be. She changed now, and is trying to better herself along with them. However, Lihua is fiercely defensive of them, and will go to any length to protect them from harm.

Deep down... Lihua hasn't truly changed. She is a very broken and deeply flawed woman that has seen shit that will chase her to the grave. She's done things that she can never speak of. Her past as a soldier has made her inhuman, comparable to a sociopath. She's recently regained some of her humanity, but that cruelty and ruthlessness is innate. Something that she can tap into. Whenever she's forced to, say if her daughters are in danger, she'll access this inhumanity, and then become a monster. Lihua is quite the force to be reckoned with if pushed to it. She's experienced, skilled, powerful, intelligent and, above all else, ruthless. All of those put together make Lihua an enormous threat that will get the job done at the expense of her humanity. Lihua has has a deep-rooted paranoia, that came from trying to escape from her past as a soldier. This was an idea that popped in her head that if it finally catches up to her, everything that she's built up will be taken from her. She fears the day that her past catches up to her, and the sheer paranoia will cause her to break down sometimes. This paranoia also stems from the ugly state of the world. She's always ready for something to pop off, and keeps a gun very close to her at all times.

She has PTSD from everything that has happened to her. Killing people, committing acts of war crimes, and almost dying too many times have not done her mental state any favors. Nightmares of what happened keep her up at night, and she sometimes has episodes and seriously starts affecting her performance. It feels like no matter how much therapy or drugs that she shoves into herself, nothing ever works. The only thing that helps is a bottle. Lihua is a very heavy drinker, and some people criticize for her growing drinking problem.

Apart of her great deal of personal growth, Lihua decided to pick up a few hobbies and things to bide her time. One thing she likes doing is simply finding a quiet place and relax. Spend some time to herself, and read a book as she enjoys the scenery. The other thing that Lihua loves are the classy things in life. Nice clothes, fine wine, good music, etc. Mixing the first two interests together is how Lihua finds her happy place. Physical activities have been catching Lihua's interests. She's always been a practitioner of yoga to stay in shape, has a bicycle for bike rides, and has been jogging. While she loves doing these, and they keep in her great shape, she requires a nice, serene, environment. However, she also likes decoding Luis' diary in her spare time, and is curious about the secret world of Metahumans that Luis lived in. It's a pain in the ass, but she finds the results very interesting.

Lihua has, due to (You know) living there for a good chunk of her life, a near mastery of the Mandarin Chinese language, with a skill in the Cantonese dialect. She can maintain a conversation in Chinese for extended periods of time. It's English she has trouble with. Lihua is a very intelligent, clever, and experienced, woman that has seen much conflict. Even off the battlefield, Lihua's experience has given a wisdom that few people have, and allows her insight. She might not look like it now, but she'll definitely be a headache. Now, let me get this out of the way now; Lihua has extensive experience in the military fields. Her time in the military began with the Hei Long Special Ops division, where she was their best soldier, and eventual leader. This has given her unmatched skill in firearms, Chinese Military hand-to-hand, and leadership.

Back in her hayday, she was China's greatest asset. However, it's been a long time since that time, and those skills have greatly degraded. However, some things haven't changed, and she's still an experienced soldier. After she came to America, Lihua joined NEST, who gave her a different set of skills. They allowed her to refine her firearm skills, and gave her military hand to hand training. Inside NEST, Lihua was an Intelligence Officer, which gave her a wide variety of skills in the computer fields (She knows how to work one well, some minor hacking, and some maintenance when IT was being useless). This also allowed her to pick up on much knowledge about the NEST organization, and the world of Metahumans at large (Such as the organizations and whatnot). Even though NEST disbanded, she keeps these secrets to herself, and makes sure to read the news to stay aware on what Metahumans are doing.

Other than being a soldier, Lihua nearly achieved black belt status in Tai Chi in her youth. Which is a testament to her skill and dedication as a person, since Tai-Chi is a very difficult form of martial arts to learn. She's very rusty since it's been decades since she practiced, but she uses a bit of her Tai-Chi skills whenever she uses the two other hand to hand styles she knows. While she's old, she can still throw one hell of a punch - though, at this point, she's arthritis ridden and aged, so in a real fight, anyone younger and physically capable than her can whoop her ass. However, Lihua still makes sure to refine her skill with firearms, and can still shoot a pistol straight. While she hasn't handled anything bigger... just make sure you're not one other end of her Wesson. Finally, Lihua still has immense skill with her ability to manipulate stone. She's so experienced with using it, that it's one of the few things that'll never leave her. However, she makes sure to practice so she doesn't get rusty. This helps her be a teacher at Academy 61. She's a very good teacher, albeit stern. While trying to decode Luis' diary, she's been picking up bits and pieces of other languages.

To simply live her life in Baybridge, and protect her daughter from any threats. However, she's seeking to decode Luis' diary.

Elemental

Lihua developed a form of terrakinesis that is limited to controlling concrete (And other forms of masonry such as brick, limestone, etc). Concrete is a very tough, very common, form of artificial stone that is found in urban areas comprised of several other materials. It's hard, heat-resistant up the ying-yang, and dense. With rough body motions, Lihua is capable of manipulating all concrete with her vision. This comes with a wide variety of powerful capabilities. These body motions are usually rough, such as punching the ground, or slamming her foot down. Whenever she uses her ability, it sends an impact through the area (Almost as if Lihua has super strength!). Depending on the strength of the feat, it make cause the ground the ground to vibrate slightly, to an all out crash. Lihua's power is surprisingly versatile, in and out of fights. She can shape and construct concrete like it was nothing, allowing her to create a wide variety of tools. Such as lances, spikes, and whatnot, and launch them at opponents at high speeds. Or create a barrier that people can get behind. She can manipulate a large amount of concrete at a time. Large chunks of it are challenging to move, but small pieces are elementary. She's capable of both small scale manipulation (Small changes, molding sharp shards, etc), and large scale (Dramatic structures, possibly knocking over a building if she gets it right, etc) with effort. Her control over this element is so refined that she can be considered a master at it, she knows a lot of out of the box usages of the power. Creating a spinning shield would reflect all attacks, creating armor, riding on a piece of concrete (She even rode a "wave" of concrete before), she's even learned how to create stone drills and dig underground. The possibilities are endless when you have an ability as versatile and powerful as hers. Finally, Lihua's ability extends to other forms of "artificial" and masonry stone. Not to the extent of concrete, however.

Lihua's power has a range limit of around eighteen feet, but she can best control the stone that is closest to her. She has a harder time controlling concrete that is far away from her than what's close to her, and it'll take more energy out of her. The same goes with the larger feats. Lihua's power is limited by the purity of the concrete. If it has asphalt, rebar, or any of the sort, she'll have a very hard time controlling it. It takes more energy, and she won't be able to move it as easily. Lihua, unfortunately, does not have the refined control of other elemental types. She can't expertly shape and mold concrete as if it's silly putty - it'll take a lot more effort and energy. Her ability is much more focused on raw power.

Now, to address the elephant in the room, Lihua has a powerful ability, yeah. But she's after all, she's a fifty year old woman, with age rapidly catching up to her. Despite her best efforts, she still has arthritis, and other issues that wouldn't put her on even playing fields with the youngins.' Her concrete ability also has a few weaknesses, of course. Because concrete is such a heavy material, Lihua has to devote much more effort to moving it than other elemental types. Which leads to her getting exhausted much, much, faster (Especially if she's doing the major). The main weakness that Lihua's ability has is that it causes her some damage. Whenever she taps into the slightest amount of her ability, she causes cracks to form in a random spot on her skin. These cracks are bloody, and painful - but are usually manageable long as she refrains from using her ability on a larger scale. If she does cut loose... then that's going to be bloody. In general, Lihua is a mighty glacier. Her abilities are powerful, and can really ruin someone's day, but she's slow, and her attacks are telegraphed. A faster (or clever) opponent can out maneuver her.

Meifeng is certainly a youthful and energetic reflection of her mother. She's a clear athlete, and one adventurous girl. Meifeng is not exactly the neat type. It's very common to see her with some form of dirt on her face, or grass stains on her clothes. And from the scars on her knuckles, it's clear that she enjoys some roughhousing. With a smile on her face, Meifeng is constantly on the move, and all of her movements are quite spastic. She has inherited many of her mother's looks. Meifeng is tall for her age, she towers above most girls, and stands on the same level as most boys. Her build is very slender, and well-toned, with a healthy amount of body-fat to give her curves. Despite being an athlete, she hasn't been blessed with a muscular body, what she does have is tight, and slim. Her hips are thin, and her waist is almost the same width. Her breasts are B-cup. Much like her mother, she has broad shoulders. She's somewhat tomboyish - though, she's more of a tomboy in personality than appearance. Meifeng is Asian, the whitish-yellow skin with golden overtones gives it away. Her skin is healthy from spending plenty of time in the sun, but it's certainly not completely clear. She has plenty of scars, all over her body. Mostly in the leg areas.

However, during the battle against the Hands of Science a few weeks ago, she received a few scars from her wounds. On the right side of her midsection, there is three large, thick, clawpoint scars. Most notably, she now has a scar on her cheek, a five point claw scar that is large, fleshy, and nasty. Which is also present on her breast in a similar arc (Appearing as if it was all done in a downward slah). Meifeng inherited the mole on her right cheek that her mother has. Meifeng's hair is a dark-brown color, and is straight. It's suspected that her father has a similar hair. She keeps it in a back length rope ponytail. Meifeng's facial features are heart-shaped, and she has a small head. In general, her facial-features are near-identical to her mothers. Meifeng has a sharp jaw, with a, strong, square chin. Her cheeks are round, and especially pronounced when she smiles. She has thin, lips, which accentuate her small mouth. Her lips are a shade of pink that are natural for people. She has a medium-sized, triangle-shaped nose, with the tip being very pointed. Finally, Meifeng's eyes are slanted, and her irises have a brown color to them.

Meifeng dresses like an athlete. Most of the time, Meifeng is seen wearing either her volleyball uniform, or her basketball team uniform (Both are red). Since it's summer-time, she dresses lightly. Usually she wears sweat shorts, and a shirt that matches. Usually, her outfits are red, since that's her favorite color. She seldom wears skirts, or jeans, since she finds them uncomfortable. Even in the underwear department, Meifeng wears boxers, and a sports bra. She doesn't wear a lot of jewelry, but she has her ears pierced.

Meifeng is one fierce chick. She has the same competitive and firey drive as her mother. Except, far more energetic, passionate, and excitable. She's always driving herself to excel in as many things as possible. Sports, fighting, etc. She never lets herself lose, and if she does, she'll try again. But harder. Meifeng is a hotblooded girl that has a very short fuse, things can easily set her off. Meifeng rarely takes shit from anyone, and will retaliate in full force - whether it's on her behalf, or someone else's. Meifeng simply refuses to allow someone to get one over her. She isn't as disciplined as her mother, and rather impulsive, and doesn't think things through when it counts. Meifeng is the kind of girl that'd get herself into trouble for entertainment. The kind of girl that'd be quick to try new things on an impulse. Though, she's a very firm believer of justice, and hates criminals. She'll do everything in her power in order to uphold justice, and fights for what is right. It's from all the TV she watches that gave her a fascination with heroism. Meifeng wishes to some day join NEST, which is why she strives to reach her peak. Though, some of her actions have gotten her in trouble with NEST (And the police) plenty of times. That hasn't impeded her even in the slightest, because she knows that she's right deep down. Speaking of which, Meifeng is insanely determined and hardworking, and she takes any form of training very seriously - while keeping a carefree and positive attitude about it. It's because she's so passionate about what she believes in that she's able to carry on like this. She's insanely stubborn, and un-moving. Very rarely will she see the reason other people present. She hates authority, and will do her best to straight up fuck with them. This stems from her mother's rather strict and harsh parenting. Which has drove her to rebel as much as possible, and deviate from her mother's plans. Which has created a rebel rather than the daughter she envisioned. Thus, it's rather difficult for Meifeng to operate in a group. She doesn't take orders too well, and would shitpick with the "leader". She'll have little problems with taking the position of "leader" for herself.

Meifeng is very friendly and forthcoming, albeit rude at times. She's very chipper, and treats people with her own version of "respect". She's naturally extroverted, and is always seeking out new and interesting people. Her definition of interesting is "not boring as hell". In conversation, she's loud, and always seen laughing, and cracking a joke. Even if it's at someone else's expense. Still, she tries to be the life of the party. If things get boring, then she'll bail out and head off to go fight someone or something. People tend to note that she's insanely confident. Everything she does just has that layer of certainty behind them. Talking to/approaching people, fighting, and more. That she trusts herself not to mess them up. Though, I should note that she isn't the type to hold onto things. She lets go of past grievances rather quickly, because she's the type that moves forward, and she feels that holding onto grudges impedes that. Meifeng is constantly on the move to explore and find herself, and discover the world at large. She believes that living to the fullest, and fulfilling your dreams, is the key to happiness. Rather than sitting in a cubicle for all her life. I can safely say that Meifeng is an idealist at heart. A huge one. She believes in the things that a cynic, or a realist, would wholeheartedly reject. She believes in redemption, and that people can change. Above all else, forgiveness. One thing she wants to find out about is what is hidden in the shadows, and what secrets the world may hold. Meifeng is a fan of the strange and extraordinary. Specifically the kind of Metahumans that are hideously deformed, and eldritch. She actually prefers it to the mundane.

In terms of romance, Meifeng isn't a master of the field, but she displays the same confidence as she usually shows. She'll casually flirt, and hit on people she likes without fear of rejection. She's the type that loves affection and romance out of her partner, along with similar interests. In terms of exact sexuality, she's easily bi-curious. She's attracted to guys, but has an interest in the other gender. She mostly chalks it up to her attempts to defy her mother's expectations, but she isn't super sure. Meifeng's a real "judge a book by it's cover" type of person. She judges people on outward appearances, rather than considering the innate factors. If something seems boring to her, then she won't try it. If someone seems shifty, then she'll keep her eyes on them. This is also connected to a bit of impatience. She just doesn't want to wait, she just wants to go to point A-to-B as fast as possible. Which causes some obvious problems.

Meifeng has some rather innate worries and conflicts. She holds a great deal of inner-resentment towards her mother. For her not even being there for a chunk of Meifeng's life, and for refusing to tell her about her father. She stills wonders about who her father is. Meifeng, in the end, is after glory. As the one thing she fears is living a "boring" mundane life. Ultimately, Meifeng just refuses to grow up. She wants to be a kid forever. Underneath the pride, competitiveness, and confidence, Meifeng does have her fair share of trauma. An incident where she was rendered helpless... has made her quite reckless, and impulsive. While she may appear as if it isn't bothering her, it's something that keeps her up at night. Makes her worried that she'll ever be capable of fighting on her own. Which is why she's out to fight and has gotten so competitive. She wants to show the world that she's strong. One thing that is a driving motivation behind her actions is simply loneliness. She's a lonely girl, one that doesn't exactly fit into too many groups due to her personality, looks, and her past. No matter how hard she tries, she's just different. Which is why she's rather desperate to find friends, and keep them close, to assure her that the loneliness is over.

After being kidnapped by the Hands of Science, Meifeng has been pretending it never happened, and moved on with her life. She is trying to move on like it never happened, and not even talking about it to anyone. But, it has made her deeply paranoid. Constantly looking over her shoulders, and worried as if someone (or thing) has been stalking her. Along with constantly checking up on her friends.

Plenty of things. Meifeng is a fan of sports, and anything that gets her blood pumping. She's a huge fan of volleyball, and basketball. She's also a skateboarder, she's no expert, but sometimes she likes rolling down the streets of Verthaven on a skateboard. She is a Bike-rider, and she's seen racing alongside the rivers on her bicycle. Meifeng also likes Yoga, thus, she does yoga workouts with her mother sometimes.

Being a immigrant from China, she's pretty damn good at speaking Chinese. She's good at English, but isn't perfect. In case you haven't realized it, Meifeng is a dedicated athlete, and martial artist. At a young age, she's played plenty of volleyball. While she hasn't played on a team recently, she still plays volleyball with other girls on the beach from time to time. Meifeng officially plays basketball for her highschool's team, and she's pretty good at it. Since she pushed herself to be. Meifeng is also a competent martial artist, having reached red-belt status in karate after practicing it for several years. Her mother also taught her a few tricks that she knew. This combined makes Meifeng a rather competent empty-handed brawler. She's gotten into plenty of fights. Some she won, some she lost. Still, she puts that training to go use in order to get some experience. She knows how to use weapons such as nunchunks, tonfas, and bo staffs - but her favorite is the Bo-staff. She likes the look and fell of it. She's used a broom-stick as a Bo-staff a few times to hilarious effects. Other than punching stuff, and sports, Meifeng was also pushed to learn driving by her mother. She quickly learned how to drive with her help, and gained her Drivers License.

Elemental

Meifeng embodies the classical element of water. She can do everything you'd expect a water-bender to do - telekinetically move and manipulate water (Fresh water, sea water, etc) through fluid body movements. Which means she's very capable of using a variety of offensive, and defensive techniques - as water is a very flexible and versatile element. A quick swipe from her hands can launch a bucket of water, a kick can shoot a wave, and spinning her arms around can allow her to create a vortex of water. Defensively, Meifeng could spin her arms around to create a spinning orb of water. Which isn't nearly strong enough to stop bullets, but it can stop a person with ease (And hurt them badly if they're stupid enough to walk into it). Meifeng can also wrap water around small/light-weight objects to move them, a pseudo-telekinesis.

An ability that Meifeng has over other water-benders is that she has the ability to absorb water from her environment, and store it inside a localized pocket dimension she can access (Shut up, it just works). At will, Meifeng can simply pull the water out of the dimension and manipulate it. Meaning she basically carries a supply of water with her - not too much, however, the most she can store is around six bathroom tubs worth of water. Now, Meifeng can expel this water off in high-pressured jets, or create shields - basically having the ability to manipulate it in general. One trick she has learned is "hovering" by shooting high-pressure water off at her own feet in order to slow down her descent. Same trick can be used in order to give her an enhanced jump. What stops it from being true flight is that Meifeng has a supply of the water is finite. Look up "flyboard" if you want an idea of how this works.

Now, concerning other states of water, this is where it gets a bit complicated. No Meifeng can't control steam/mist - but she can control ice. At will, she can snap freeze a few gallons of water... butm she can't control large chunks of ice. This might sound weird/contradictory, but she can control plenty of small pieces of ice. Largest piece of ice she can lift up is the size of an average icecube. Now... This is where the trick I've been leading up to comes in. She has come up with an interesting technique using. In short, Meifeng can freeze the water in small shapes, and shoot them off at high speeds. Basically creating a gun out of ice. She's capable of shooting them off at a rate that it could be compared to an assault rifle on full auto. With a flick of her wrist, she can turn ice into water.

One ability she has is what she calls "water-walking". When he steps on a body of water, of any size, she will seemingly stand on it as if it's a solid object, and is completely capable of walking on it for an indefinite period of time. At will, she can simply drop and fall into the water. This leads up into another trick she has. She can surf by standing on a body of water and manipulating it to move her around. Almost like it's carrying her. This is a go-to technique by Meifeng in order to get around quickly. I should note that she can allow other people to water walk with her if they're close enough. This is actually her power subconsciously manipulating the density (and the water itself) underneath her feet in order to allow her to stand on water.

To start off, Meifeng has the usual range restriction. She can control water up to twelve feet away. Meaning she's limited to up close and personal fights (her favorite!). She also has a limit on how much she can control at a time - though I really suck at judging units of measurements, so we'll be playing the assuming game. While she can control a large amount at a time in comparison to her own body, she won't be able to redirect a river, create a beach-consuming tidal wave, and etc. Most she can do is probably dick with you while she's in the pool. But, the more water she is manipulating at a time, the less fine control she'll have. While manipulating a large amount of water, she'll be restricted to rough, basic, imprecise, water motions. Like I said before, there's also a limit as to how much water she can absorb - six tubs worth of water. The purity of the water also comes into question. She cannot control dirty or diluted water effectively, it takes more energy out of her to do so. Fresh and Salt water is what she's best at controlling. The water's temperature also plays into how she can control it. The water has to be cold in order for her to control it. The hotter it is, the less capable she'll be able to control it. At boiling point, it's basically out of her range. This is largely irrelevant, but Meifeng cannot manipulate water, and absorb/expel it at the same time. Meifeng can only freeze what that is within three feet of herself. Above all else, Meifeng is just as effected by water as anyone else. She can still drown, freeze, etc, in water. But Meifeng managed to avoid drowning.

Electricity, and heat. Meifeng's power has altered her body in ways that are far from beneficial. Starting off, she's a lightning rod, basically. Her body is far more conductive, and electricity is seemingly attracted to her. In short, electrical damage is extra effective against her. Using her power has two detrimental effects. The first one is that using her power, in any way, quickly dehydrates her - at worst, this can leave her as dehydrated as an island castaway who's been deprived of water for weeks. As you may have realized, expelling absorbed water makes this much, much, worse. However, her power is connected to her hydration, too. The less hydrated she is, the less powerful she'll be. Freezing water also lowers her body temperature. Which, at it's most extreme, can lead to severe hypothermia and nobody wants to deal with that.

Years of training under RAVEN, and seeing plenty of action, has truthfully changed Meifeng's appearance since she was last seen in Verthaven. Seven years ago, she was still solidly built, and looked like she did some work, but now she was beefed up considerably, and her limbs are much thicker. Meifeng's arms and legs, through a rigorous exercise regiment, have thickened quite a bit. Meifeng even has washboard abs. She's like a very dedicated MMA fighter now. Something that she's quite proud of, and best displays when she's on the field. Though, she's quite intimidating in general. With her abnormal height - inherited from her mother - and her well-built frame, many people are put off from her until she opens her mouth and smiles widely. Giving people a reassuring aura that counteracts that aura of a cold soldier that people first detect off of her. When she's out and around friends, she comes off as quite energetic, and friendly. A very approachable person. When out on the field... that changes, however. Despite her changes in appearance, Meifeng still looks the same as she did seven years ago - A rather tall Asian tomboy that's a tad rough.

As stated before, Meifeng is quite tall. She's five-eleven, and that means she essentially towers over her fellow female peers and stands up there with the big boys (Which has been a constant source of teasing and ire). Which give people the idea that her own mother was an Amazon (Which isn't that far off). However, her strong, well-built, frame doesn't really give way in the way of curves. Her chest is 30A (One thing she wishes was bigger), and she feels like she has to shop in the kids sections. Her hips and behind aren't very appealing, and she lacks the feminine appeal - up into one glances at her face. In general, Meifeng has a square build, a tough and well built body that many girls would die to have (It's a total pain in the ass to maintain, however).

Meifeng is obviously Asian, a pureblood Chinese woman. No, she isn't "yellow." Her skin - which is white with heavy golden overtones - makes this very obvious. Her Asianic facial features makes this even more obvious. Despite the fact that she's directly from China, she's been in America so long that her accent is only faint. However, throughout the years, Meifeng has gotten herself plenty of marks. Before, these were only scars on her knuckles, and scars on her legs and arms from sports related injuries. A few years ago, you could say that these were just marks that implied that she liked a little rough housing. After Verthaven, she managed to get herself some scars. From her first clash with the Hands of Science, Meifeng earned herself many horrible scars that, while fading, are still proof that she fought, won, and survived. The most obvious of these scars is the one on her face. A five point claw scar that is large, fleshy, and nasty, that starts at her cheek, and goes down past her jaw. The scars are also present on her chest/breast, which shows the arc she had received the wound. On the right side of her midsection, there is three large, thick, clawpoint scars.

Now that Meifeng became her own woman, not standing in the shadow of her mother, she got herself some tattoos. Not out of a stylish choice, but as a tribute to the friends that she had lost in the Verthaven disaster. On her shoulders specifically. On her right shoulder is a tattoo of a raven, with a bow and arrow in the background. Underneath it, "Trevor" is written. On her other shoulder is a dove, and has "Jennifer, Kaitlyn, Anabella, Justin, Cody, Caspin" written underneath it. On her back, she has the tattoo, "Friends to the very end" inked. When asked about it, Meifeng just says these people were, "friends."

Meifeng looks very similar to her mother, Lihua. In fact, she was called the younger, more energetic, reflection of her for the longest (She even inherited her mother's mole on her cheek). The main difference is that Meifeng's hair is dark brown, where her mother's hair is pure-black. Meifeng's facial features are heart-shaped, and she has a small head. In general, her facial-features are near-identical to her mothers. Meifeng has a sharp jaw, with a, strong, square chin. Her cheeks are round, and especially pronounced when she smiles. She has thin, lips, which accentuate her small mouth. Her lips are a shade of pink that are natural for people. She has a medium-sized, triangle-shaped nose, with the tip being very pointed. Finally, Meifeng's eyes are slanted, and her irises have a brown color to them.

On the job, Meifeng wears the standard RAVEN battle armor. A black chain mail mesh, with Kevlar. However, she omits the helmet because she was never one for being a faceless shoulder. She exchanged that helmet with a much more simple beret with a star on it. Much like regular RAVEN armor, it's resistant to most kinds of damage. Meifeng chooses to wear this armor whenever necessary, and likes to go on patrol wearing it. This armor has been damaged in the past, and parts of it had to be replaced. Off the guard, Meifeng dresses far more casually. She likes to go for a blend of comfort, and style. She always found athletic wear to be comfortable, so she likes to wear basketball shorts, with some T-shirt, and sneakers. However, Meifeng will wear jeans, jackets, and whatever other clothes she'd find appropriate. Though, the only kind of outfit she won't wear is a skirt, or a dress. You won't catch her dead in either of those. Meifeng's outfits can be called tom-boyish because of this. Which brings that tomboy assertion even further is the fact that she even wears boys boxers, and a sports bra.

Meifeng is a girl that underwent a great deal of personal growth and maturity.

Being a RAVEN took that arrogant, headstrong, bruiser, and turned her into a capable soldier. Gaining wisdom, and replacing her idealism with realism, and cold hard maturity. However, Meifeng is still the same old confident, social butterfly that she always was. Meifeng is a very kind woman, and makes that known as she interacts with people. She seemingly as the ability to connect with anyone, and is somewhat charming. She cracks jokes, smiles, and acts like the fun person in any group. She's the kind of person who likes to befriend people, take them out to have fun, and make more friends in the process. Meifeng is confident in herself, and her actions. Which allows her to easily guide her way through interactions with other people. Other people can pick up on that confidence easily, and see as she talks to people, preform operations, and whatnot. However, she isn't the overconfident type (That's been beaten out of her). As she smiles, she disarms people with her words, and makes that intimidating aura around her melt. She seems to be the kind of person who can get anyone on her side, which is why she's considered to be a leader. She inspires cohesion and teamwork within a group, and she tends to be quite good at leadership. Albeit impulsive at times.

Meifeng is a woman that's very in touch with her romantic, sexual, side. She's always out there trying to find a partner of some sort. The kind of strong, confident, good looking, person that would be perfect at her side. She's the kind of person who just wants to find someone who has similar interests as her, things in common, and bond over them. While receiving plenty of affection in the process. Sexuality-wise, Meifeng is bisexual, and has no real preference towards one or the other. She has discovered her bisexuality years ago during a botched romantic moment with a friend. Meifeng is flirty, and because she's so confident in herself, she's willing to flirt with anyone that pips her interest.

Meifeng is motivated by loneliness. Years ago, when she was younger, she was in an insane depression because of how alone she felt. Which is why she's driven to make sure that the loneliness never happens again. Making sure that her friends are okay, and to protect them from harm. Meifeng is, of course, a girl who values friendship and personal bonds above all else. She can be considered the model friend; friendly, understanding, and will always be there. She'll never betray a friend under any circumstance. Another trait is that she's a listening ear. She'll always be there to listen to another person's problems (Long as they aren't coming off as too whiny) and try to provide advice. The other main motivation for her is to make sure that what happened in the Verthaven disaster never happens to anyone else. Which is why she's in RAVEN, her best interest is acting as the shield against the monsters that this world presents. Damn what anyone thinks of her. While also doing her best to improve the world for everyone.

Meifeng can be a tad rough sometimes. She's fierce, passionate, and will sure as hell fight for what she thinks is right. Screw the world. She's the kind of girl who would get right up in the mouth of someone who criticizes someone she cares about, and will defend her actions whenever necessary. On the flipside, she's not afraid to return the vitriol and fight back. While she isn't the hot head that she used to be, Meifeng will resort to fists if necessary. Despite her kindness, she can be quite brash sometimes. She can be condescending towards people she dislikes, and tends to go out of her way to make sure they know that she doesn't like them. Which can sabotage relationships with people.

Her morality is best described as Chaotic-Good. She's ultimately a very good, and well-intentioned woman, that will help people whenever she can. Helping people is just something that makes her feel great about herself, and makes her believe that she's making a difference in the world. However, she's not afraid to go the distance if it's in the name of helping people. Meifeng is content with bending, or outright ignoring, the rules if it'll save a life. She believes that she's doing her best to keep the world safe, so why should it matter if she gets a little extra brutal. However, towards criminals, Meifeng is incredibly merciless, and will fight with all of her might. Sometimes getting reprimanded for being a little extra brutal. Sometimes she feels like it's just necessary to go the extra mile. Years ago, she used to believe in redemption, atonement... but now she feels like some people just don't deserve that chance.

On the job, Meifeng flips from carefree and kind, to cold and determined. She's insanely focused on the mission, and will do all in her power to carry it out with results. Meifeng keeps her jokes and sarcastic quips to herself as she just goes in, and fights for justice. While she used to show much pride for being a RAVEN, Meifeng is starting to experience fatigue, and irritation. She's beginning to question whether or not she's really doing the right thing. She's beginning to question a lot of things as she moves forward and forward into uncertainy. Right now, she'll simply push on until she gets a definite answer.

However, personally witnessing the Verthaven disaster, and seeing the utter depravity of humanity in the form of the Hands of Science and the Changeling Unit, has planted a hatred inside of her. A silent rage that stems from the senseless death and destruction that was caused. A rage that stems from the death of two of her best friends. This anger has turned her ruthless, and at most, cruel. Because she's seen the Changeling Unit... she knows that you can't afford to fuck around by trying to be a girl-scout and bring them to "justice." Meifeng believes that the only form of justice people like them deserve is a gun to their temple. This mindset has put her at odds with some of her friends, in fact. Surviving the Verthaven disaster has also given her plenty of PTSD, she still experiences nightmares about what happens which wakes her up at night. Depending on her mood, the normally cheerful Meifeng will switch to a more sullen and withdrawn mindset, and will only want to be alone. All in all, she hasn't gotten over the death of her friends. Where ever she goes, they're not far from her thoughts.

Sports, athleticism, and whatnot, are one of the many things that interested Meifeng from the get to. She still practices basketball to this very day, even though her volleyball skills aren't too shabby. She just loves to talk about things related to being an athlete, and would love to share tips on how to get a hot body. Meifeng also likes travel, seeing the great big world at large. Which her employment at RAVEN allowed her to accomplish by being stationed at a variety of different cities. She likes to take a little souvenir from each city. Meifeng also likes bike riding.

Now, Meifeng's skillsets have gone through a variety of changes throughout the years. For starters, she's pretty damn good at speaking Chinese. She can easily hold a conversation in that language. Meifeng was always athletic, and knew how to move. She's strong, fast, and has a wide variety of skills underneath her belt. She is a black belt in karate. An incredibly skilled fighter that uses her strength, size, and reflexes to their fullest. Someone can get nailed with a quick punch to the nose. She knows how to use weapons such as nunchunks, tonfas, and bo staffs - but her favorite is the Bo-staff. She likes the look and fell of it. She's used a broom-stick as a Bo-staff a few times to hilarious effect. However, once Meifeng was inducted into RAVEN, she added a variety of military skills to her roster.

She learned military hand-to-hand combat, and is quite adept at it. She mixes karate, and military hand to hand together to create a brutal fighting style. In a fist fight, Meifeng is quite the problem. Meifeng was also taught how to use a variety of firearms - however, she doesn't use guns that well. It just doesn't come to her as well as fist fighting does. She was trained to fight Metahumans, but she was already quite experienced from surviving the Verthaven disaster. Joining RAVEN has made her even better at squaring off against Metahumans. Other than punching stuff, and shooting it At a young age, she's played plenty of volleyball. While she hasn't played on a team recently, she still plays volleyball with other girls on the beach from time to time. Meifeng officially plays basketball for her highschool's team, and she's pretty good at it. Since she pushed herself to be. She hasn't played basketball that much lately, but she makes sure to find her base's gym and start shooting some hoops.

Defend Baybridge, and every person in it, from the evils that are going to threaten it. Meifeng is willing to lay down her life in defense of it.

Elemental

Meifeng embodies the classical element of water. She can do everything you'd expect a water-bender to do - telekinetically move and manipulate water (Fresh water, sea water, etc) through fluid body movements. Which means she's very capable of using a variety of offensive, and defensive techniques - as water is a very flexible and versatile element. A quick swipe from her hands can launch a bucket of water, a kick can shoot a wave, and spinning her arms around can allow her to create a vortex of water. Defensively, Meifeng could spin her arms around to create a spinning orb of water. Which isn't nearly strong enough to stop bullets, but it can stop a person with ease (And hurt them badly if they're stupid enough to walk into it). Meifeng can also wrap water around small/light-weight objects to move them, a pseudo-telekinesis.

An ability that Meifeng has over other water-benders is that she has the ability to absorb water from her environment, and store it inside a localized pocket dimension she can access (Shut up, it just works). At will, Meifeng can simply pull the water out of the dimension and manipulate it. Meaning she basically carries a supply of water with her - not too much, however, the most she can store is around six bathroom tubs worth of water. Now, Meifeng can expel this water off in high-pressured jets, or create shields - basically having the ability to manipulate it in general. One trick she has learned is "hovering" by shooting high-pressure water off at her own feet in order to slow down her descent. Same trick can be used in order to give her an enhanced jump. What stops it from being true flight is that Meifeng has a supply of the water is finite. Look up "flyboard" if you want an idea of how this works.

Now, concerning other states of water, this is where it gets a bit complicated. No Meifeng can't control steam/mist - but she can control ice. At will, she can snap freeze a few gallons of water... butm she can't control large chunks of ice. This might sound weird/contradictory, but she can control plenty of small pieces of ice. Largest piece of ice she can lift up is the size of an average icecube. Now... This is where the trick I've been leading up to comes in. She has come up with an interesting technique using. In short, Meifeng can freeze the water in small shapes, and shoot them off at high speeds. Basically creating a gun out of ice. She's capable of shooting them off at a rate that it could be compared to an assault rifle on full auto. With a flick of her wrist, she can turn ice into water.

One ability she has is what she calls "water-walking". When he steps on a body of water, of any size, she will seemingly stand on it as if it's a solid object, and is completely capable of walking on it for an indefinite period of time. At will, she can simply drop and fall into the water. This leads up into another trick she has. She can surf by standing on a body of water and manipulating it to move her around. Almost like it's carrying her. This is a go-to technique by Meifeng in order to get around quickly. I should note that she can allow other people to water walk with her if they're close enough. This is actually her power subconsciously manipulating the density (and the water itself) underneath her feet in order to allow her to stand on water.

To start off, Meifeng has the usual range restriction. She can control water up to twelve feet away. Meaning she's limited to up close and personal fights (her favorite!). She also has a limit on how much she can control at a time - though I really suck at judging units of measurements, so we'll be playing the assuming game. While she can control a large amount at a time in comparison to her own body, she won't be able to redirect a river, create a beach-consuming tidal wave, and etc. Most she can do is probably dick with you while she's in the pool. But, the more water she is manipulating at a time, the less fine control she'll have. While manipulating a large amount of water, she'll be restricted to rough, basic, imprecise, water motions. Like I said before, there's also a limit as to how much water she can absorb - six tubs worth of water. The purity of the water also comes into question. She cannot control dirty or diluted water effectively, it takes more energy out of her to do so. Fresh and Salt water is what she's best at controlling. The water's temperature also plays into how she can control it. The water has to be cold in order for her to control it. The hotter it is, the less capable she'll be able to control it. At boiling point, it's basically out of her range. This is largely irrelevant, but Meifeng cannot manipulate water, and absorb/expel it at the same time. Meifeng can only freeze what that is within three feet of herself. Above all else, Meifeng is just as effected by water as anyone else. She can still drown, freeze, etc, in water. But Meifeng managed to avoid drowning.

Electricity, and heat. Meifeng's power has altered her body in ways that are far from beneficial. Starting off, she's a lightning rod, basically. Her body is far more conductive, and electricity is seemingly attracted to her. In short, electrical damage is extra effective against her. Using her power has two detrimental effects. The first one is that using her power, in any way, quickly dehydrates her - at worst, this can leave her as dehydrated as an island castaway who's been deprived of water for weeks. As you may have realized, expelling absorbed water makes this much, much, worse. However, her power is connected to her hydration, too. The less hydrated she is, the less powerful she'll be. Freezing water also lowers her body temperature. Which, at it's most extreme, can lead to severe hypothermia and nobody wants to deal with that.

Dark-Brown

African-American, & Indian (With a little bit of Caucasian in there)

First glance, and Cindy looks a little geeky. It's probably the glasses, and her braces, mixed with her ethnicity. The way she dresses, and acts, is much more in line with the Verthaven natives, however. Two different genealogies give Cindy a distinct appearance, and she appears quite racially ambiguous. For starters, her facial features are heavily Indian in terms of descent. She has the nose, the jaw, and sharp facial shape that is heavily consistent with Indian women specifically of the Indo-Aryan demographic. However, her skin is a brown color that most people would attribute to African people, her lips are thick, and her hair has a afro-texture. All these features are predominantly African. Cindy's face has a angular bone structure, with her head/face having a diamond shape. Her face gets thinner the more you go down, and she has a pronounced, square-shaped, chin (With a cleft AKA. butt chin). Her lips, as stated before, are quite thick and full, and have a pointy shape. Usually, these lips are painted with a red lipstick of some sort, but naturally they're a brown (with a light red hue) color. Above those lips is her medium sized nose, that is upturned - the tip sticks out forward a bit, and gives her nose that triangle-shape. It's a very pronounced facial feature. Her eyes are somewhat large, have a round-shape, and have a striking brown-color to them. Her eyes are pretty beady, actually. With thin eyelashes, and eyebrows, her eyes are stated to be her most notable feature. Her ears are diamond-shaped, and are somewhat large. In terms of hair, it's a brown color, and has a thick afro-texture. It's very curly and frizzy, so Cindy keeps it in two afro-puffs on the side of her head.

As for her build, Cindy is average heighted, and that surprises her. She was pretty short growing up. She spent a lot of her life being the short one in her (Very tall) family. Still, she's not exactly tall as her mother (and no where near her father). Seriously, she looks like a midget compared to them. Her build is rather skinny and toned, because her exercise regime set up by her parents have kept her thin, and she religiously follows it. She's pretty in shape, lacking muscles, or body fat - but what she does have simply accentuates her figure (I.E stops her from looking like skin and bones). She has broad shoulders for someone her size. Puberty was certainly generous for Cindy. She has feminine curves, and rather thick hips and thighs, with a large round behind. Cindy certainly prides herself on her pear-shape. Her bra size isn't anything impressive, but she's a B-cup. Skin, like I stated before, is a brown color, splashed with black freckles on her cheeks, and nose area. Skin isn't completely without scars, or any other marks. Scars here and there from small incidents. There's a very thin slashing scar on her right cheek, but it's so small that most people don't even notice it. Cindy has similar wounds all over her body. Caused by accidents while experimenting with her power. The most wounds she has are the one that are on her arms. A mass of whirling slashing scars on her arms. She tries to keep these scars covered, but in a hot city like Verthaven, it'll be difficult.

Cindy's style is pretty hipster. She has that street style that Verthaven girls are known for. She wears a flashy T-shirt, with a jacket of some sort over it. Shorts, and whatnot. Her outfits are somewhat baggy, and loose. Other times, Cindy dresses like a business-woman. Wearing dress shirts, and she's notable for wearing ties. Like I mentioned before, she wears glasses due to a stigmatism inherited from her mother's genes. Though, she has a variety of glasses to choose from. Red framed glasses, and thin metal framed glasses are her favorite.

A pretty cool and collected girl, Cindy is known for her laid-back attitude. She never really raises a fuss over the small stuff, and usually takes a calm approach rather than an aggressive one. She solves her problems with her words, rather than her fists (But even she has her limits). She's also quite humble, she doesn't think too highly of herself. She definitely leaves her ego at the door. In her interactions, she is fairly casual. She speaks in a casual and friendly manner, and uses the lingo and slang you'd expect a eighteen year old to use. Not overly energetic, but she puts enough passion into her interactions that leaves a good first impression. Usually putting on a confident half-smirk, and not acting like an asshole. Certainly playful and confident with other people, and tends to spout jokes, and the sorts. Though, otherwise, she is quite mature for her age. That isn't to say that she's wise beyond her years, but she keeps herself from acting childishly, or petty, and is fully capable of discussing things in a very mature manner. This mature side certainly shows in her interests in reading, and other mature subjects.

Though, she has a bit of brutal honestly that she struggles. She's definitely not afraid to speak her mind, and not consider her friend's feelings. Which tends to cause a little bit of a divide between her friends, and herself, when she gets a little too harsh. Like calling her friend's out on their stupid behavior, or telling someone some things are a bad idea. Now, that isn't to say that she's completely mature, she certainly enjoys partying, and going on adventures. Though, she's not exactly the type to go by herself herself, Cindy would only really go on such trips with friends. Otherwise, she'll definitely sit it out. Cindy is definitely the type of person who wouldn't try anything unless one of her friends does it first. If there isn't a friend, she'll certainly politely refuse if it isn't in her best interests. Peer pressure's an incredible deterrent. It's the kind of thing that tends to get her in trouble. When she's not having a good time.... well, it's not hard to infer it. She usually goes reclusive, or glues her eyes to her phone (Nearest communication) and acts incredibly dismissive, and passive aggressive. Passive aggressive in the way that's conveying that she wants to leave, and tends to be bitter about it.

When she's talking to people, there's certainly two sides to interactions, in person, or through electronics. You see, Cindy's certainly a girl that's constantly glued to a screen, texting someone, or talking to them. It really dulled her ability to talk to people in person. She tries to force confidence, and she's gotten quite good at talking to people in person, but it often feels quite awkward. Often saying the wrong thing, or at times, looking away like she has something better to do. Talking to someone through Texts and social media seems much more comfortable for her, because she really feels relaxed while doing it. For the most part, she sees herself as an empathetic person, and doesn't hesitate to be a shoulder to cry on. She certainly invites other people to let her be that person. Though, the problem comes when you remember her aforementioned bluntness. Because it's extra pronounced in these situations. Cindy sees herself as pretty free-thinking, and open minded, young girl. Despite the fact that she follows her friends a little too closely.

Cindy is a girl that certainly has a temper, or doesn't consider her words carefully when angry. When someone pisses her off, or even annoys her, she'll verbally lash out against them. That's when her filter turns off, and she starts swearing, insulting, or just being a bitch. Though, she often tends to say things that she doesn't mean to her friends, and feels quite a bit of remorse over it. When insulted, Cindy always returns the favor, and it isn't uncommon for her to get into scream offs with other girls. Cindy's morality tends to lean towards neutral. She's a nice person, certainly, but she doesn't have the heroic resolve that other people have, nor the ruthlessness to commit crimes. She'll help friends, and people she comes across, but she ain't Mother Theresa. Despite her powers, she knows that Verthaven isn't a place for half-cocked wannabe heroes. And she isn't the type to hang around soup kitchens, either.

When perusing her goals, Cindy goes about them with enthusiasm and passion. Because it's something that she loves to do, and she feels life would be meaningless if you didn't have anything to strive for. It can be hard to get her off her goals because of this mindset. Cindy wishes to some day become a pilot (Helicopter pilot, and/or plane pilot, if she has the time for both), and insulting her dreams will certainly earn her ire. Cindy is pretty independent, and responsible - and more importantly, reliable. She tends to keep her word, and follow through with her promises. This is what lead her to be so independent, she believes that she can handle herself, and is no newbie to Verthaven. She's been going out alone, and hanging out with friends, and (generally) not making terrible decisions, so her parents give her a bit of freedom. She certainly doesn't need anyone holding her hand. Spending years in the Verthaven streets has basically given her a bit of sharpness, perception, shall we say. She knows where to go, who to talk, and more importantly, who and where not to. Cindy goes about life with the same mindset.

Innately, Cindy has a bit of psychological trauma from the recent events. She feels immense guilt and remorse for when she was manipulated by her cousin, and literally hates the person she used to be. The cruel bitch that shot other people down. She feels much better now that she's a changed person, but she can't help but feel bad for all the people she ruined. All the fun that she had at the expense of other people. Yet, she still struggles with this mindset, and it still shows to this day. Sometimes she'll consider getting a little too sociopathic with her fun, or might bully someone else if her mood is shitty enough. She knows this is wrong, and will do anything in her power to redeem herself for it. Cindy also tends to hold grudges, and it will certainly drive her to do petty and stupid things to get even.

And don't ever call her "Black Cindy". She'll loose her shit if called that.

Anything that flies, really. Cindy, from a young age, has expressed dreams of becoming a pilot. That shows in some of her choice in decorations, and books (She likes to read books about planes and helicopters). That leads me to another thing, Cindy likes to read books. She can lie down on her bed, reading a book for hours should she have nothing to do (Though, she has a Kindle). Not without her iPod, of course. Cindy has a love for music, and despite her race, she tends to enjoy indie, techno, and shoegaze (Which make up 60% of her iPod library). Cindy is also a gamer. She likes to play Nintendo the most, but has some games for the PS4. Street performances with her power has become a love of her, just seeing people get amazed by her ability has started up something inside of her. It's become one of her passions (Which earns her a little extra cash).

Just to give Cindy something to do, her parents forced her to learn the violin. It wasn't really her style, and she struggles at learning it, but she keeps at it. For them. She isn't anything special, however, and she tends to make loads of mistakes while playing. Cindy has been aggressively attempting to learn how to fly something. Since flight schools don't come cheap, she started off with the simple car. Starting with her provisional license, Cindy got herself a fully pledged driver's license when she turned eighteen. She's a pretty good driver. Cindy also worked her ass off to get a Scooter license. Her father also insisted on taking her out on these fishing trips. Only thing she got out of that was that he taught her how to drive a boat. Which is the only reason why she kept going along. Only sports that Cindy got herself into were Tennis, and Soccer. And she hasn't played Soccer since she was thirteen. Tennis, on the other hand, is something that she does to this very day. Often heading to the Tennis parks to practice, and get some games in with the old people. She's quite light on her feet, and her reflexes and dexterity are nothing to mess around with.

Elemental

Cindy's foremost ability is the ability to grow glass off her body like a crystal. This is mainly to supplement her ability to manipulate glass. She can grow an infinite amount of glass, it is only limited by her stamina. She's fully capable of growing it along surfaces long as she's touching it. Like a quickly spreading ice. She can do this on any surface. The glass she creates has a dark, emerald green, color (Like this color). She is capable of controlling how the glass grows, so she's capable of forming it into structures. Such as wrapping it around herself to create an armor. She can also create weapons, shields, and the sorts. Using her ability to move glass, she can shoot the shards she creates at high speeds. Usually a single shot, though, she can create a shotgun-style blast, or shoot out a machine gun barrage of glass. The ultimate feat she has done by creating glass is creating a thick "cocoon" out of glass that has protected her from most forms of attack. A trick she has figured out is that she's capable of producing a glass "seed". Which is an orb of glass that she can throw, and upon contact with the ground, it will turn into a structure of her choice. Like a grenade. Cindy can also turn sand into glass, if there's any around.

Cindy has the elemental ability to control glass. I'm going to start off with the manipulation aspect of her power. For starters, Cindy can telekinetically control all glass (Regular, volcanic, plexi, etc) far as the eye can see and fiddle with it a bit. She can shape glass by using a method that is subconsciously changing it's temperature to convert it into a liquid-state, and quickly cool it down to harden it. Alternatively, she can simply put glass together the usual way. Hell, she can make any glass construct long as she has enough material for it. Cindy can also alter properties of glass to some extent. She can change the color, flexibility, hardness, and compact glass together to increase the density. Glass is a fairly hard material (But brittle), and it's fairly commonplace, so it's a pretty strong element to manipulate. It's also possible for her to achieve a level of pseudo-flight by standing on top of a pane of glass, and flying around by moving it.

Whenever Cindy creates glass, she expends a bit of stamina. Which will begin to wear down on her. Which is why she's unable to create structures. Cindy's range of glass manipulation has a range of ten-meters (For quick reference, that's like 32 feet). There's a limit to how much glass she can manipulate at a time, too. She can manipulate a lot of glass, but not enough to create a building-sized structure made out of glass. Cindy is in no way immune to glass. She could easily accidentally cut herself.

Glass is a brittle element. While it's technically harder than steel, there's only so much it can take before cracking, and shattering. Someone could pull out a bat, or a machine gun and destroy her constructs. Someone with super strength can easily punch through her constructs. Glass gets softer under heats, easier to break. Cindy can't really control malleable glass that well. It's melting point is high, but it can melt under a high enough heat. If it by chance melts, then Cindy will lose the ability to accurately control and shape it (She could sling around hot glass). Cindy requires concentration when she uses her power. If she loses it, then all current usages of her power will be cancelled. Cindy can turn into glass. Why that's down in the weakness section, I'll explain. Whenever Cindy uses her power, she may accidentally turn a part of herself into glass, and lose function in that part. The bigger the use, the more of her body may turn into glass. She has to focus a little bit to make her body revert back into flesh, but it could leave her quite vulnerable. If someone were to break the glass, it would appear in her human form as a wound. Either a bleeding cut, or a missing piece of her flesh, which can and will get infected quite easily. It's possible for her to lose a limb, if it were to convert entirely into glass. If she were to go overboard, she could potentially turn her entire body into glass and die a quick death. On the brightside, she'll be a bitchin' statue.

Cindy owns a white Honda 2007 Metropolitan Scooter. Which comes in handy when she needs to get around the city. Cindy's father, Jackson, owns a club in Knightdale Rows known as the Candy Club. It's a bar that was styled after The Carousel Bar in Las Vegas, it has dim red lighting that gives it a moody look while people preform on the stage. It's a somewhat successful club. Because of her past actions, Cindy is currently on NEST's watchlist.

African-American & Northern-Indian/Indo-Aryan (With a little bit of Southern/Dravidian).

A few years working with DOVE really allowed Cindy to really put her body in great shape. She still looks somewhat mousy behind the pair of glasses that she's always seen wearing. However, she carries herself like a diva, and makes it her mission to appear her best. Wearing the best and stylish clothes (She can afford buying with her DOVE budget), making sure that every part of her body is very well maintained, and walking with grace. People get the feeling that she emanates vanity, but quite the opposite, really. She's actually a very open, and friendly, human being. Cindy simply has a cool and collected aura that doesn't let too much emotion slip. However, she can still show friendliness in the way of smiles, and a generally polite demeanor. Though, that can flip in the drop of a hat, if someone were to set her off.

As it's been stated before, Cindy's build has gone up a bit. She isn't super muscular, but she is very tight, and has a light layer of muscle from all the exercise she does. The last thing that Cindy wants to do is gain a million pounds, so that's why she does a lot of working out in her spare time. She jogs, lifts weights, and does all that jazz, which is why her layer of muscle is mostly around her leg area. Speaking of her legs, Cindy's legs are quite thick. You see, Cindy was fortunately blessed by puberty to have a distinct body shape. She has a pear-shaped body. Her upper body is fairly narrow, that aforementioned thin body, small bust (at 30d), and very narrow shoulders. However, her thighs, legs, and behind are very thick. Which are usually accentuated from her outfits. It's something that Cindy feels much pride in. All inherited from her father's side of the family, of course.

Speaking of Cindy's genealogy, one of Cindy's most notable features is how she quite racially ambiguous. She's mixed from two vastly different ethnicities. Cindy's father was a proud African-American man with roots from Kenya, Uganda, and Sierra Leone. Which gave him a variety of looks from several different African countries. Her mother on the other hand was Indo-Aryan (Or, simply Northern Indian), distantly Southern/Dravidian Indian. She had that distinct bony, pronounced, facial structure that Indian. Cindy on the other hand, takes more from her mother in terms of her looks. She looks almost identical to her mother in the facial area, almost having the face of an Indian person. However, her awfully dark-brown skintone, her afro-textured hair, and skull-shape are obviously African-American. Which makes it appear heavily like she's two different races... and nobody can really tell which one. Though, whenever Cindy opens her mouth, she has a very urban accent. Sprinkling her sentences with "yo," and "ya'll" and other dialogue that'd be inappropriate in a professional setting.

As I said before, her skin is brown, but has a layer of black freckles over her cheeks and nose, and upper body. A strange trait that's been inherited from her mother. Cindy isn't without scars of some sort. It's been years since the Verthaven disaster, which has seen her add a few more scars to her collection. Awhile ago, she had some small slashing scars in a wild whirl from inflicting damage to herself with her glass powers, and there's a network of scars on her hands. Scars that imply that her hand was glass and shattered. There's also a scar on her lower back from getting impaled by a monster back during the Verthaven disaster. From a few times she was attacked and made it out alive. Cindy also has a few tattoos to add to her collection of marks. She has a tattoo on her right shoulder of a 3D cross that is wreathed in flowers. Above it says, "Always," inside the cross says "In memory of," and underneath it is the names of her parents, "Asha and Jackson Keagan, mother and father." On the side of her body there are a wreath of red daisies going from her waist to her armpit. On her shoulder is a gorgeous black and white tattoos of flowers that go down her arm somewhat. On her back is the outline of a tree.

Her facial features are heavily Indian in terms of descent. She has the nose, the jaw, and sharp facial shape that is heavily consistent with Indian women specifically of the Indo-Aryan demographic. Cindy's face has a angular bone structure, with her head/face having a diamond shape. Her face gets thinner the more you go down, and she has a pronounced, square-shaped, chin (With a cleft AKA. butt chin). Her lips, as stated before, are quite thick and full, and have a pointy shape. Usually, these lips are painted with a red lipstick of some sort, but naturally they're a brown (with a light red hue) color. Above those lips is her medium sized nose, that is upturned - the tip sticks out forward a bit, and gives her nose that triangle-shape. It's a very pronounced facial feature. Her eyes are somewhat large, have a round-shape, and have a striking brown-color to them. Her eyes are pretty beady, actually. With thin eyelashes, and eyebrows, her eyes are stated to be her most notable feature. Her ears are diamond-shaped, and are media sized.

Cindy's hair has certainly changed from her time in Verthaven. She's let it grow out a lot, so she can style it a bit more than the afro puffs. Oh yeah, her hair is very clean, well-mained, and a dark-brown color. It's naturally curly, but Cindy has straightened it so she can accommodate for her new hairstyle. Which are long, thick, African braids (Like this). Idiots would call her hair dreadlocks, but they're actually braids if one were to take a close look.

A very stylish woman. You can tell that the years she spent within Verthaven has really given her a great fashion sense. She tends to wear very stylish clothes that are up to date on the latest urban trends. She'll wear just about anything long as it looks good, and makes her look fun. However, due to her time in Verthaven, her outfits tend to be very loose. Cindy will wear T-shirts, jeans, skirts, dresses, and whatnot. Though she tends to omit the skirts and dresses for jeans, and has a shirt and a jacket of some sort other top of that. Other times, Cindy dresses a little bit like a school-girl wearing dress shirts, and she's notable for wearing ties. Her style does not seem to be consistent as her wardrobe is seemingly endless. As for other kinds of clothing, Cindy is perfectly fine with wearing hats (She loves straw hats), jewelry (Along the line of necklaces, and bracelets), and things such as scarves. Though, Cindy can't wear sunglasses as she has a stigmatism from her mother's genes, she has a variety of glasses to choose from. Squared red framed glasses, and round thin metal framed glasses are her favorite. She really wishes that she could.

On duty, Cindy wears the usual DOVE uniform which consists of a dress shirt and dress slacks (Sometimes she can wear a longcoat!), or a suit. Both of which have the DOVE symbol on the shoulder, a gun holster on the hip. This outfit is form fitting for Cindy - though wishes that she could have a bit more freedom with her outfits. When DOVE has to take action, she often puts on a kevlar vest with the DOVE symbol on the front. Now, when Cindy's gotta be the pilot (For either DOVE or RAVEN), she puts on a black flight suit with the DOVE symbol on her chest. The suit has a variety of different pouches and pockets in which Cindy can place her items into. Of course, Cindy puts on a ALPHA Eagle Pilot Helmet, which has black shades, a radio, and more.

A mature, calm, and level-headed woman that was still fairly mature even in her youth.

Years of living in a big city, experiencing the worst few days of her life, and working as a DOVE as given Cindy a fairly unique view on life. She's known for how usually laid back she is, and doesn't raise a fuss often - often. She just keeps her cool, and keeps things moving. A very wise, and street smart woman that lived a great deal of her life traversing a big city with friends of all sorts. Which is why you can say that her social skills are superb - because she spent a great deal of her life doing just that. Socializing. She's just very good at socializing with people, and is a real people's person. She just knows how to talk to people, and get to know them. Cindy just comes at social interactions with a cool, respectful, and humble, approach that allows her to come. Though, she spices up conversations with jokes. Which is why she's considered to be a very charming and sociable person. She's very capable of discussing mature manners at length, and tries to keep herself from acting childishly.

For the most part, Cindy is a very empathetic person, and when you combined all the other character traits, makes her a great shoulder to cry on. She listens when other people are pouring their hearts out to her, and then she gives the best advice she can think of for the situation. While her advice isn't perfect, she does her best. It's less of being the best at giving advice, and more about being that person who'll listen to people and their problems. Cindy actually legitimately cares about the people around her, and only wants to see them succeed. Due to a rather liberal upbringing, in which she could see many different places, meet a variety of people, and experience many different things, Cindy is very open minded, free-thinking, and whatnot. She rejects conservative ideals in favor of a more progressive way of thinking. Which is why Cindy won't discriminate based off race, gender, and whatnot.

These traits play a major part in her romance and sexuality. Cindy is heterosexual, but has participated in homosexual activity in her party-girl past. She's just isn't into girls like that. She's confident enough to go walk up to a guy like likes and say hello (While also being able to maintain the inverse if it occurs). Though, Cindy has high standards for the guys she wants to be with. They have to meet a specific standard for her to be attracted to them. Cindy likes a big, strong, confident guy that's nice, polite, and well dressed. Sometimes she can be too demanding of a person, and that's what drives them off. Otherwise, race does not play a factor. Though, she isn't in any rush to have sex. She doesn't want to get pregnant and interfere with her job, so it'll take a very close bond before that happens.

Cindy is a lot of things, independent, responsible, and reliable. She has to be to be a DOVE. She sees things through to the end, and always deliberately thinks about things before taking any form of action. While also being capable of thinking, and doing things for herself. Most importantly, she doesn't need anyone holding her hand. She keeps her promises, and never breaks her word. In her group of friends, she tries to be the one who keeps them from doing anything stupid. Being the calm and level-headed one that counters some of her more hotblooded friends within RAVEN, and takes slow and deliberate course of action.

Though, she isn't perfect. Cindy is a very opinionated girl, who isn't afraid to speak her mind. Whenever she has a problem with something, she'll definitely let you know. Cindy tends to be blunt at times - sometimes coming off as a bit rude - but she feels like she's telling people what they need to hear. It doesn't matter if you're a friend or a complete strangers, no one is above criticism. This is directly linked to her down to earth attitude. She is a realist - she doesn't have time for no fantasies. Which is why she'll be the first one to shoot them down and give people the real deal. Another thing is that Cindy has a temper that, while hard to set off, is quite explosive if set off, and is quite the handful. Swearing, insults, and more, are the least of their concerns. When she isn't at the point of "in your face" anger, Cindy is very passive-aggressive, or sarcastic. It's her way of keeping control of the situation. Which is what makes Cindy come off as a bitch in these situations, and possibly overzealous.

Now that Cindy has become a pilot, she has become the person she always wanted to be. This has given her happiness as she has finally met her dreams of flying high. This is what Cindy prides herself in. She tends to gloat a bit, and the act of being a pilot has unconsciously made her arrogant. She's unaware of this, as she's simply under the impression that she's telling everyone just how much she loves being a pilot. Normally, she's very humble, but her pride is making her haughty. Cindy can come off as quite condescending towards people she dislikes.

Despite being in DOVE Cindy isn't a moral white knight. She grew up with a neutral mindset, and preferred to stay out of things and let the actual heroes do their thing. Which is why she gravitated towards DOVE over RAVEN. However, she's been gradually growing out of this mindset as of late. She's starting to feel that inaction is a very bad thing that'll lead to many problems, and seeing the problems that many young Metahumans go through has changed her mind a bit. Which is why she gives it her all to help Metahumans.

Deep down... Cindy is quite sullen, fatigued, and wracked with sorrow. The Verthaven disaster, losing friends and family, and almost dying several times has really left it's mark on Cindy's mental state. She has generally gotten over the deaths of her family, but sometimes it still comes back to haunt her. Pulling the plug on her father has left Cindy in a great doubt on whether or not she did the right thing. She tries to bury her trauma with a happy face, but nothing truly works. Other than a bottle of alcohol, of course.

Anything that flies, really. Cindy, from a young age, has expressed dreams of becoming a pilot. That shows in some of her choice in decorations, and books (She likes to read books about planes and helicopters). That leads me to another thing, Cindy likes to read books. She can lie down on her bed, reading a book for hours should she have nothing to do (Though, she has a Kindle). Not without her iPod, of course. Cindy has a love for music, and despite her race, she tends to enjoy indie, techno, and shoegaze (Which make up 60% of her iPod library).

Just to get this out of the way since it's a big part of her character, but Cindy is a DOVE that has received military training, along with social services training. However, Cindy has enlisted within DOVE as a pilot, a helicopter pilot to be specific. Cindy has been extensively trained as a pilot, and possesses much skill and experience when flying a helicopter. While she isn't the best, she still flies quite a bit due to being a pilot for both RAVEN and DOVE. Which makes her an invaluable asset to both organizations. To elaborate on her military training courtesy of DOVE, Cindy's been trained for light combat situations. She isn't a RAVEN, but she knows how to fire a gun, and etc. Though, shooting guns comes easier to Cindy since she can shoot with a surprising amount of accuracy. Other than being a DOVE, Cindy has quite a few skills. Most of which are hobbies stemming from her youth that she simply continued up into adulthood.

Just to give Cindy something to do, her parents forced her to learn the violin. It wasn't really her style, and she struggled learning it, but she could at least tell her friends she knew how to play the violin. Her old violin was destroyed during the Verthaven disaster, but she has bought another one, and practices it in her spare time. For them. Cindy was aggressively attempting to learn how to fly something. Since flight schools don't come cheap, she started off with the simple car. Starting with her provisional license, Cindy got herself a fully pledged driver's license when she turned eighteen, and drove like a pro. She's a pretty good driver. Cindy also worked her ass off to get a Scooter license. Her father also insisted on taking her out on these fishing trips. Only thing she got out of that was that he taught her how to drive a boat. Which is the only reason why she kept going along. Only sports that Cindy got herself into were Tennis, and Soccer. And she hasn't played Soccer since she was thirteen. Tennis, on the other hand, is something that she does to this very day. Often heading to the Tennis parks to practice, and get some games in with the old people. She's quite light on her feet, and her reflexes and dexterity are nothing to mess around with.

Elemental

Cindy's foremost ability is the ability to grow glass off her body like a crystal. This is mainly to supplement her ability to manipulate glass. She can grow an infinite amount of glass, it is only limited by her stamina. She's fully capable of growing it along surfaces long as she's touching it. Like a quickly spreading ice. She can do this on any surface. The glass she creates has a dark, emerald green, color (Like this color). She is capable of controlling how the glass grows, so she's capable of forming it into structures. Such as wrapping it around herself to create an armor. She can also create weapons, shields, and the sorts. Using her ability to move glass, she can shoot the shards she creates at high speeds. Usually a single shot, though, she can create a shotgun-style blast, or shoot out a machine gun barrage of glass. The ultimate feat she has done by creating glass is creating a thick "cocoon" out of glass that has protected her from most forms of attack. A trick she has figured out is that she's capable of producing a glass "seed". Which is an orb of glass that she can throw, and upon contact with the ground, it will turn into a structure of her choice. Like a grenade. Cindy can also turn sand into glass, if there's any around.

Cindy has the elemental ability to control glass. I'm going to start off with the manipulation aspect of her power. For starters, Cindy can telekinetically control all glass (Regular, volcanic, plexi, etc) far as the eye can see and fiddle with it a bit. She can shape glass by using a method that is subconsciously changing it's temperature to convert it into a liquid-state, and quickly cool it down to harden it. Alternatively, she can simply put glass together the usual way. Hell, she can make any glass construct long as she has enough material for it. Cindy can also alter properties of glass to some extent. She can change the color, flexibility, hardness, and compact glass together to increase the density. Glass is a fairly hard material (But brittle), and it's fairly commonplace, so it's a pretty strong element to manipulate. It's also possible for her to achieve a level of pseudo-flight by standing on top of a pane of glass, and flying around by moving it.

Whenever Cindy creates glass, she expends a bit of stamina. Which will begin to wear down on her. Which is why she's unable to create structures. Cindy's range of glass manipulation has a range of ten-meters (For quick reference, that's like 32 feet). There's a limit to how much glass she can manipulate at a time, too. She can manipulate a lot of glass, but not enough to create a building-sized structure made out of glass. Cindy is in no way immune to glass. She could easily accidentally cut herself.

Glass is a brittle element. While it's technically harder than steel, there's only so much it can take before cracking, and shattering. Someone could pull out a bat, or a machine gun and destroy her constructs. Someone with super strength can easily punch through her constructs. While she can make her glass constructs very durable, punching a hole in one part of it will weaken the rest of it so much that it'll be easy to destroy. Glass gets softer under heats, easier to break. Cindy can't really control malleable glass that well. It's melting point is high, but it can melt under a high enough heat. If it by chance melts, then Cindy will lose the ability to accurately control and shape it (She could sling around hot glass). Cindy requires concentration when she uses her power. If she loses it, then all current usages of her power will be cancelled.

Cindy can turn into glass. Why that's down in the weakness section, I'll explain. Whenever Cindy uses her power, she may accidentally turn a part of herself into glass, and lose function in that part. The bigger the use, the more of her body may turn into glass. She has to focus a little bit to make her body revert back into flesh, but it could leave her quite vulnerable. If someone were to break the glass, it would appear in her human form as a wound. Either a bleeding cut, or a missing piece of her flesh, which can and will get infected quite easily. It's possible for her to lose a limb, if it were to convert entirely into glass. If she were to go overboard, she could potentially turn her entire body into glass and die a quick death. On the brightside, she'll be a bitchin' statue.

Jennifer was fortunately born very well off. Her parents were two prolific lawyers that were rather ruthless in how they got the job done. This paved way for many of Jennifer's education, as her family had plenty of money to support them. She had a younger sister named Kaitlyn, and two brothers named Justin and Cody. However, both parents had much different ideas on how to raise Jennifer, and the siblings. Jennifer's mother wanted to be strict, and push them to be great, where her father was lax and wanted them to their own people. This caused some rather particular patterns when Jennifer was growing up. In school, Jennifer was pushed by her mother to become a prodigy. Taking classes to play instruments (That Jennifer promptly forgot how to play), taking Advance classes (That she was not ready for), or just other things she could need (She was taught cooking, medical care, gardening, Karate, French and Spanish). Yet, no matter what classes she was placed in, Jennifer just couldn't apply herself towards it. She was just uninterested in it, and couldn't advance. Which is what stopped her from being good as she could be. What did get her attention was the videogames her brother liked so much, and media - specifically fantasy and scifi. This interest was budded by her father who bought her games, and pretty much whatever she wanted. This infuriated her mother to no end - she couldn't focus enough to study in the classes, but she could focus on video games! Her mother started forcing Jennifer to start giving a damn about her education. Taking away the games and whatever else Jenny was interested in.

This aggressive tactic didn't work as well as her mother hoped. As this made Jennifer very stressed, and impaired her learning ability even more. She started working hard to desperately please her mother... Until she found another way to please her mother. She cheated. In school, she'd copy the answers from the smart students when she couldn't get them to give her the answers outright. This worked, so far. She couldn't cheat at everything. Eventually, Jenny was caught, and the whole thing was told to her mother. She was very disappointed in her daughter, where her father was a lot more compassionate. He sympathized with Jen, and suggested that her mother eased up on her. Lest she wants her daughter to go crazy. Which is exactly what she did. She took Jennifer out of the classes she didn't want to be in (Which was pretty much all of them), and gave Jennifer back the games she liked so much.

While she was much more lax on Jennifer, she didn't completely stop. She expected Jennifer to get the highest grades. Not accepting a single F. Which is what Jennifer could handle much better. She got the A's her mother expected. Even when she shouldn't have. In the mean time, Jennifer indulged in whatever nerdy behavior she wanted. Playing video games, participating in DnD, watching movies, and etc. Though, she was relatively unknown in school outside of the nerd groups. Jen did pick up a certain habit while in highschool. Her parents demanded that she stays slim, because no one wants a fat child. They made her sign up for the highschool's female basketball team. While she didn't like it at first, she warmed up to it. Though, she was never a star player.

Summer break hit, and Jennifer was happy to just give herself some time to relax. Though, life didn't go smoothly. Her father went out to go drinking with some old friends to catch up with them. After the night of drinking, he choose not to drink responsibility, and choose to drive. He crashed into a wall at such a high-speed that he died near instantly. When the news hit her family, it hit them hard. Her mother fell into a deep depression, and her siblings tried to keep going. But the grief forced them towards some more bad habits.

Jenny was immensely saddened by the death of her father - but she had no choice but to keep moving forward (Sort of). She had no other way to coop other than push the world a bit further away, and continue doing what she was doing. For months, this worked, and life continued very uneventfully. Shit hit the fan one fateful night. She was walking home from her friend's house (Accompanied by her dog), when she noticed a little girl sobbing in an alleyway. Jen approached the girl, and a very quick and frantic conversation; it was revealed that the girl's name is Penny, and she's a Metahuman that was attacked by the Pure. The first thing Jenny did was get the girl to calm down. She tried to call the cops - but she stopped when she heard some people walking up. Jenny told the girl to run - Penny said that she was going to hide under the nearby bridge. When they walked by, Jen simply looking like she was picking up her dog's droppings. Acting like she had nothing to do with it.

They stopped and asked if she saw anyone who looked like Penny. Obviously, Jen said no. That's when they surrounded her, and started calling her all manner of names. Traitor, freak lover, and they even accused her of being a meta. Though, before things got violent, they relented - noting that their job isn't to bother humans, and the person they were after could be getting away. They left, smacking Jennifer's phone onto the ground. Jen immediately left to go find the girl - unaware that one member of the Pure had followed her. Jenny checked under the bridge like Penny said, and found her. She assured the girl that the coast was clear - until that member of the Pure came out of the shadows, and took several shots towards Penny with a pistol. Fortunately, he missed... Penny, that is. The bullets hit the larger target, which was Jennifer. A bullet hit her in the stomach, in the arm, in her sides, and two hit her in the shoulder. Jenny hit the ground, and started bleeding out, while Penny ran off, and the member of the Pure ran off after her. It wasn't long before Jen passed out. A few minutes later, Penny lost the member of the Pure and came back to Jen. Watching her bleed out profusely - because of her - didn't bode too well with the child.

Penny panicked, but she knew that she was capable of saving her. She walked up, and placed her hands on Jen's dying body. She used the power that made the Pure want to kill her so badly. The ability to gift physical enhancements to anyone she touches. Penny gave Jen the strongest regenerative ability she could in order to save Jen's life. Almost immediately, the healing factor kicked in and began correcting the damage done to her. With that, Penny ran off, hoping that the Pure wouldn't catch Jen. They didn't (For plot convenience). It wasn't long until the bleeding stopped. And it wasn't even that longer before wounds were completely closed up. A few hours later, Jen had awoken in a hospital room surrounded by her mother and some police officerrs, with the wounds completely healed. She had no idea what happened, and she had said her prayers. She checked, and there was not even a scar. For a moment, she wondered if it actually happened.

The police explained that she was found unconscious underneath a bridge while they were investigating gunshots. Jennifer explained to them that she was helping someone getting attacked by the Pure, and she was knocked out. They swallowed her story, and she came in contact with NEST and explained what happened with Penny. Her entire family was relieved, but told her not to get involved in such things again. The next couple days went on normally... until Jennifer got a paper cut. Expecting to feel pain for awhile, the wound almost instantly closed. This surprised her enough to try again, the same thing happened. Jen walked into the bathroom, with a knife, and cut the top part of her hand. The wound was gone in a few minutes. This surprised her - and it didn't take too long for her to put two-and-two together and realize that her powers manifesting had saved her life that night.

Jennifer reached into her pocket and pulled out the note... Maybe Penny has something to do with this. There was only one way to find out, really. Jennifer decided to find this Penny girl on her own. Disguising her mission as a quest to find her dog (Also an objective!). Over the course of a few days, she started asking around, looking for Penny. So far, with no success.

After being kidnapped by the Hands of Science, Jennifer found out the truth about her power, and decided to stay in her house with Penny. Hoping that nothing attacks her.

A few minutes later, Penny lost the member of the Pure and came back to Jen. Watching her bleed out profusely - because of her - didn't bode too well with the child.

Penny panicked, but she knew that she was capable of saving her. She walked up, and placed her hands on Jen's dying body. She used the power that made the Pure want to kill her so badly. The ability to gift physical enhancements to anyone she touches. Penny gave Jen the strongest regenerative ability she could in order to save Jen's life. Almost immediately, the healing factor kicked in and began correcting the damage done to her. With that, Penny ran off, hoping that the Pure wouldn't catch Jen. They didn't (For plot convenience). It wasn't long until the bleeding stopped. And it wasn't even that longer before wounds were completely closed up. A few hours later, Jen had awoken in a hospital room surrounded by her mother and some police officerrs, with the wounds completely healed. She had no idea what happened, and she had said her prayers. She checked, and there was not even a scar. For a moment, she wondered if it actually happened.

The police explained that she was found unconscious underneath a bridge while they were investigating gunshots. Jennifer explained to them that she was helping someone getting attacked by the Pure, and she was knocked out. They swallowed her story, and she came in contact with NEST and explained what happened with Penny. Her entire family was relieved, but told her not to get involved in such things again. The next couple days went on normally... until Jennifer got a paper cut. Expecting to feel pain for awhile, the wound almost instantly closed. This surprised her enough to try again, the same thing happened. Jen walked into the bathroom, with a knife, and cut the top part of her hand. The wound was gone in a few minutes. This surprised her - and it didn't take too long for her to put two-and-two together and realize that her powers manifesting had saved her life that night.

Jennifer reached into her pocket and pulled out the note... Maybe Penny has something to do with this. There was only one way to find out, really. Jennifer decided to find this Penny girl on her own. Disguising her mission as a quest to find her dog (Also an objective!). Over the course of a few days, she started asking around, looking for Penny. So far, with no success.

However, she spent more time with her friends, making new ones in the process, rather than finding Penny. She attributed it to the Black Fall Effect... but, she loved it. She loved the new friendships and bonds she was forming with the young Metahumans of Verthaven. It made her feel great, despite all of the shit she went through. Though, it didn't last that long. She was kidnapped by the Hands of Science with her friends, and, fortunately, managed to escape due to their help. Only going through a few horrible injuries in the process!

After being kidnapped by the Hands of Science, Jennifer found out the truth about her power, and decided to stay in her house with Penny. Hoping that nothing attacks her.

She remained in her home for a few months, no amount of Black Fall Effect could convince her to leave. Until the Verthaven Disaster happened, and she was forced to leave, because a monster attacked her household, and she fled in fear - separated from her family. From there, she ran into two VPD officers, and was attacked by another beast. She was fortunate enough to get away from the monster, but it wasn't long before she was launched into a river.

Fortunately, her best friend, Meifeng Zhao, was in the area, and managed to save her from drowning to death. From there, Jennifer was brought to the NEST safe zone. She reunited with her friends, up until the eventual evacuation of Verthaven... which didn't go too well due to the fact that the Changeling Unit sabotaged it, and she was impaled. Once again, Jennifer had to be saved by her friends, and they managed to get her aboard an APC. However, during the final push out of Verthaven the Shield of Light was activated.

That was the start of Jennifer's troubles. The villainous Changeling Unit laid their eyes upon her, taking advantage of one weakness she's forgotten: her family. They kidnapped her family, and eventually kidnapped her as well in order to get her to betray her friends. Since she had some mighty connections. Just to coerce her to play along even further, they had the Mannequin surgically implant a bomb deep inside of her. With no choice, Jennifer had to betray her friends in order to keep them alive.

Luis and the Changeling Unit used her to deduce a great time to attack, in order to liberate Heartbreaker. She told them to attack when most of the heavy hitters in NEST tried to track the Devil down. When the Changeling Unit launched their attack, they knocked down the walls that were set up, and killed a great deal of innocent people - along with letting in a horde of monsters. Jennifer felt guilt like no other because she was the reason why this bloodbath went on. Dodging both monsters, and the Changeling Unit, Jennifer eventually came across information on where Heartbreaker was being stored. She, begrudgingly, told Luis where she was, and he managed to liberate Heartbreaker.

This was the point where everyone was getting suspicious of her. During the next operation, she was immediately kicked out of briefing, and was almost taken to the doctors office. Where she was intercepted by a friend. However, she managed to catch the attention of the Changeling Unit, and both were captured when they raided their Headquarters. She was told of Luis' insane plan: his bid for Godhood. Before they were used as hostages to stop NEST from killing the Devil too early.

A battle occurred, and eventually Jennifer had the bomb painfully extracted from her by Lihua Zhao. Now that she was free of the Changeling Unit's bomb, she left the battle. However, by the time she left, the Devil had already grown in power, and ascended to another form. Jennifer and her friends got away, but it was soon enough that the Changeling Unit caught up with her, and showed her the worst sight of her life.

They wiped out her entire family, and showed her the bodies.

It was the worst experience ever, that caused Jennifer to become near-catatonic. Having to be carted around by her friends, up until the climatic moment on the rooftop where the Devil had them cornered. Jennifer was ultimately grabbed by tentacles, and after a heartfelt goodbye, Jennifer was pulled into the depths after giving up. Where all of her friends presumed she died alongside the rest of the Caspins.

... However, Jennifer managed to survive. She was pinned underneath a rock, and her survival instinct kicked in, and she had to cut her foot off to survive. Jennifer went back towards NEST Headquarters wondering the empty streets of Verthaven.

Another wave came through, and Jennifer was washed away until the end of the disaster.

It was a few days of drifting in flooded streets before Jennifer was finally found by people searching for survivors (or bodies). She was pulled to shore, and was given medical attention. It was quickly realized that she was a metahuman, and was almost given over to NEST. However, Jennifer choose to turn over a new leaf, become a new person, she quickly escaped (Amazing, given that she had only one foot). If what Luis said was correct, she was going to be around for a very, very, long time. She might as well abandon her emotional connections to other people, and dedicate this time to improving herself.

Jennifer Caspin was dead, but a new person took her place: Missy Baroness. This woman was scorned by the Changeling Unit, and lived by her own rules. She did everything she could to distance herself from Jennifer (up to dying her own hair). She set out to take her own piece of this world. During her time, she had quite the adventure... Which will be revealed in IC. What you need to know is that she went toe to toe with a few villains, and somehow got her power altered.

At some point, Missy met a woman called Megan Jervious. An eccentric woman, that asked that Missy join her organization, along with a few other people. She was reluctant, but accepted the invitation. Together, they managed to launch an investigation which tracked what was left of the Hands of Science. Eventually ending up in Baybridge.

At first, Missy didn't expect anything, but she found Old Ghosts in the form of the Mannequin, and friends that have long forgotten her. It awakened a long suppressed part of her, and eventually made Missy decide to return to being Jennifer Caspin. After reuniting with her friends during the Eco-Natura attack, Jennifer revealed who she was, and left Megan's group.

From there... adjusting back into her old lifestyle was difficult. She managed to move in with Cindy, but she had received severe mental trauma, which Cindy managed to help with her via several different therapists. Throughout the months, it came to light that Jennifer was having a terrible time functioning in society. Given that she had lived through a tragedy that no human being should live through. However, she was able to score herself a job in Greencrest Heights at a cafe.

She was doing her best, but it wasn't enough, apparently.

Veronica Emily Davis (Villain name: The Terror)

Green

18

Female

Veronica possesses the mighty ability to control the electromagnetic phenomena. This ability manifests itself as control over electricity, and magnetism. Each in their own ways. First, and foremost, Veronica can control magnetic and electromagnetic fields. However, Veronica has the ability to emit her own electromagnetic field that she can perceive, and manipulate as she pleases. This field manifests as a dome that goes out twenty feet in all directions. This gives her a wide variety of abilities, the most notable being her ability to move any ferrous material, whether it be metal (Iron, steel, etc), or otherwise - assisted by a background ability. She's capable of manipulating these materials much like any other bender-type. However, another ability she has deals with attraction and repulsion of these metals. Yes, she can attract anything ferrous to herself, and repulse it. However, she can magnetize metals such as steel by touching it and "passing" the ability onto another source. She can't control it like she normally could - it automatically attracting all metals around herself. Another technique she's capable of by creating these fields is a "shield". In effect, it's essentially a shield that stops any metals, and holds them within the field until she disperses it. The mechanics, however, is that Veronica is setting her field into "automatic" mode, where it automatically catches any metal, and this method takes quite a bit of concentration.

The other half of her ability is minor-electrokinesis - nothing that'd make her Thor, however. Electricity and Magnetism is very closely connected, and thus, she has a limited control over the energy. Just to address the obvious, yes, Veronica is capable of controlling electricity in the direct way. Such as controlling how it flows, or producing electricity that she can directly shoot at a person. It isn't like a bolt of lightning, more like a continuous stream. At it's extreme, it's no more powerful than a, say, stun gun. Though, make no mistake, any amount of electricity can stop a man's heart. Veronica is capable of distributing larger amounts of powerful electricity on touch, which is powerful enough to fry someone if she holds on for long enough. Veronica is also capable of dispersing electricity - low amounts of it, however. She can't possibly shut down a dedicated electrokinetic. Veronica can control electrostatic forces, and cling to objects. Veronica's own abilities also give her a flight ability. She can't fly high like Superman, but she can levitate ten feet off the ground at a pace comparable to herself walking.

Whenever Veronica starts using her power, her eyes start glowing green, with green electrical arcs appearing from her eyes. Interestingly enough, all metals she controls will be surrounded with a green electricity, any electricity she produces will also be glowing green.

Had to mix limits in here so she's not too OP. These powers have a large amount of limits which restrain her from becoming Magneto. Starting with her level of skill, she's very new to her new superpowers. She's not exactly a master, and is prone to losing control, and accidental usages of her power. Which can be... quite messy. Veronica's power is dependent on whether or not she currently has a magnetic field up. Up until she does, she's powerless. Veronica is only capable of control metals within the bounds of her own field, which extends twenty feet in all directions. Anything outside of it is out of her hands. Veronica's fields have a limited "charge", shall we say. Over time, the electromagnetic field will eventually decay, and become unstable. When it becomes unstable, obviously, her control within the field will deteriorate. Up until it finally gives up, and she's powerless. This happens after using her fields for a large period of time... takes around fifteen minutes of sustained use for the field to start getting wonky. Once it runs out, Veronica will have to haul ass and absorb electricity, or another Magnetic field, in order for her powers to start working again.

Obviously, anything that isn't metal or electricity is a completely different ball-park. Someone can beat the fuck out of her if they pull out a wooden plank or sex toy! Veronica's electricity powers aren't as strong as a electrokinetic mutant's ability. She can't produce a powerplant's worth of electricity, but what she can produce can be a pain in the ass for someone without an insulator of some sort. Now, electricity has a range before it starts to disperse. The further it goes out from Veronica, the less powerful it'll be. For balance, let's just say that Veronica's Electromagnetic fields hold the electricity together, and it'll disperse the second it leaves the field.

Veronica's magnetic field can be destroyed by high amounts of heat. In fact, if a metal is too hot, she can't control it. And metal is a very good heat conductor. She won't be able to even get her magnetic field up in the first place if it's too hot. Which means that heat-based Metahumans are her bane. Veronica's power is electrically based, and very charge/current based. Water is what disrupts those currents. If someone throws water on her, say a cup, then her power will be interfered with as the currents will go into the water. If she's the slightest bit wet, all electricity will go into the water no matter what she does (Though, the water will evaporate eventually). Getting submerged/soaked in water will cause Veronica's charge to disappear, and she'll be powerless up until she's dry, and finds electricity or a magnetic field to restart her power. Now, Veronica's power is connected to her own bio-electricity. This works against her in two ways. Using her powers will begin to disrupt the electrical signals in her body. Which can potentially cause violent twitching, or she'll lose the ability to properly control her body parts. Which can be a pain in the ass. The other way it's a weakness is that it's a steady, careful, balance. In case another electricity comes into the mix, it can screw up her power. Now, while Veronica can control electricity, she has to be on guard, prepared, etc.

Veronica is a girl that stands out due to two things; her eyes, and her hair. Her eyes are a bright-green color, and round almond-shaped. Quite large, too. Easily the most pronounced part of her face. As for her hair, it's standout because of it's wavy (Almost curly) hair texture, and how it goes straight to her back. Which creates a sharp contrast with her white, ivory skin. Which means she fits the raven hair, ivory skin trope! Speaking of her skin, it lacks scars due to her life-style which didn't involve too much action. She does have a few scars on her skin from childhood falls, and blunders while playing Tennis. Veronica is obviously Caucasian, and is a pot of various European backgrounds. Hailing from Quebec, Veronica is part French, Icelandic, and Welsh. Which shows in her striking and pronounced facial features. Her face is oval shaped, and her facial features are quite sharp, and blend into each other quite well. Starting with her full, pointy-lips, which are barely disproportionate to her medium-sized button nose that is round and compact. Her ears are a crescent shape, and are larger than she'd like them to be. In fear of being called dumbo, she keeps them hidden behind her hair. I've already gone over her eyes. Veronica's build was enhanced by her genes somewhat. She's a skinny girl that stays fit due to a large amount of exercise, and her metabolism working in her favor. Veronica doesn't have a lot of body fat on her, and a faint muscle tone. The girl has a bit of height to her, standing at five-foot-nine. Standing tall as the guys! Not something that she is particularly proud of, however. Veronica has a bust that would ample on a shorter girl, being C-cup, but her behind more than makes up for it. Being gigantic for a girl her height.

A domineering and calculated girl. Growing up, she's gotten the impression that you need to be ruthless to get to the places you need to be in life. Which is why she carries herself with utmost confidence, and strength. She will rise to any challenge just to show everyone that she's the greatest. However, this turns into her flaw, because she tends to go to idiotic lengths in this pursuit. To other people, she can come off as snobbish, callous, and at times, aloof. She tends to associate herself with a select few people - the rich, the strong, the powerful, etc, and ignore the rest. Merely because she has zero time for losers.

Hailing from Quebec, Veronica is the daughter of a CEO of a clothings company. Veronica lived the privileged life, baby! However, unlike most people, she didn't really have mommy and daddy around. Due to the fact that the circumstances of her birth weren't ideal for either party. Her mother was a young, impressionable, model who was looking for fame, and her father took advantage of that. Getting the model to sleep with him in order to get herself a name. She agreed - and Veronica was the result of that relationship. Now, her father was too busy running his company, and didn't care too much about her, and her relationship with her mother was shaky at best (Being ashamed of her daughter). So, Veronica was left in her father's mansion, and in the care of a team of maids and butlers. Which meant that it was up to them to raise her... and the results weren't pretty.

Growing up, Veronica didn't exactly develop a kind heart. Taking what little interactions that she had with her parents to heart, she developed the idea that she had to be great to get to the best places in life. Better than other people - and that she could step on them as she saw fit. This trait manifested and became pronounced during her time in school. Going through school, Veronica did everything in her power to become the best. The best looking, having the most friends, and excelling in school - due to her father's influence, she could go to wealthy, high-class, schools. Even if she didn't legitimately accomplish it, she did a few backdoor deals in order to accomplish it. She became the epitome of hubris, and she had plenty to back it up. Due to her ruthless pursuit, she gathered a lot of friends in school.

Veronica's main claim to fame was Tennis. She drove herself to become a Tennis star, boasting that she would become a professional, and laugh at everyone underneath her. However, after gym, her power had manifested in the locker room. Lockers were torn off the wall, and sent flying, and Veronica had no idea that she was doing it... until she willed it all to stop. Veronica, scared out of her mind, went home and experimented, and realized that she had this amazing power. She quickly vowed to learn it, realizing that it was just proof that she was superior to other people, and took pride in her ability. All in private. Whenever she was alone in her room, she'd bring some dinnerware, and play around. Despite practicing, she could never quite get it down. However, she learned that she had the ability to control electricity, and immediately went to work learning about this ability until the epiphany dawned on her that she could affect Electromagnetism.

Veronica became the Prom Queen, and a few years after that, she graduated from school. Getting ready to reach the next stage in her life. However, someone else manifested their power - the second contender for Prom queen - and tried to attack her. Veronica, using her ability to it's best, defended herself. Causing a huge scene... as well as outing herself as a mutant. Terrified, she ran back to her mansion - fearing that they would reject her - and grabbed everything she could and ran. Her first objective was to find more people like herself. Using her electromagnetic abilities to break into houses and squat, she found herself a place to stay up until the police chased her out. When she got a little bold, breaking into a house that has someone in it, she came across a computer, and logged into her own account to see what's going on. She received an email sent to her email address about her power - a school for people like her.

Veronica, interested in the idea of going to this school, sent an email back, and arranged a meeting so she could head straight to the school.

Veronica is a girl that stands out due to two things; her eyes, and her hair. Her eyes are a bright-green color, and round almond-shaped. Quite large, too. Easily the most pronounced part of her face. As for her hair, it's standout because of it's wavy (Almost curly) hair texture, and how it goes straight to her back. Which creates a sharp contrast with her white, ivory skin. Which means she fits the raven hair, ivory skin trope! Veronica is quite domineering in appearance, and body language. She just immediately gives people the creeps when she walks by. Because she takes large steps like she owns the place, and has a bored, impassive, facial expression on at all times. She acts like royalty, or a snooty, stuck up, rich girl. Rolling her eyes up into her head, and acting like everyone is beneath her. However, she gives off the cold, calculated demeanor that you certainly shouldn't mess with this girl.

Veronica is obviously Caucasian, she is a Canadian girl with genes from France, Iceland, and the Wales. This makes her look pretty European from anyone's perspective. Mostly, she looks Icelandic because of her striking green eyes. Her skin tone itself is pretty light, she isn't pale, or anything like that, but she's certainly on the lighter side. Mostly due to her genetics, she spends plenty of time in the sun to keep her skin fresh and healthy. Speaking of which, Veronica skin is pretty clear... if you don't count the many scars that she has. She has the scars from battle. Most notably, she has a scar on her midsection (towards her left side) that goes from under her chest, to the start of her waist. Like she was stabbed. She also has a scar on her eyebrow that takes the shape of a V, and goes to the area underneath her eye. She has a scar on her shoulder. What helps her appear at her best is all the wondrous skin care products she applies.

Going on about her build, Veronica is pretty tall for her height, which merely adds to her intimidation factor. She's Five-Nine, and pretty well built. She has done plenty of working out due to her job, and is somewhat muscular. Not so muscular that you would expect her to start looking masculine, but she definitely lifts and does plenty of cardio (and never skips leg day). You would only notice if she were to disrobe enough for someone to see her. Due to her genes, Veronica is very curvy for her height and weight. Her breasts are 40C in terms of size, and her behind is equally big. These are features that the girl loves to flaunt. Her European roots shows in her striking and pronounced facial features. Her face is oval shaped, and her facial features are quite sharp, and blend into each other quite well. Starting with her full, pointy-lips, which are barely disproportionate to her medium-sized button nose that is round and compact. Her ears are a crescent shape, and are larger than she'd like them to be. In fear of being called dumbo, she keeps them hidden behind her hair. I've already gone over her eyes.

There's two sides to Veronica's attire: either it's stylish, or it's very practical. On the stylish side, Veronica doesn't really dress to stand out. She wears a modest dress shirt, button-up, or other shirt, and she wears jeans, khaki, or cargo pants. She often accessorizes by wearing jewelry, or the sort. She doesn't like skirts, or dresses, so don't expect her to wear anything of the sort. She may wear a dress to a party. But, don't expect her to go anywhere unarmed. Veronica has a holster of throwing knives hidden in her sleeves, and all it takes is a simple usage of telekinesis to get them out. Along with a small pistol that's easy to conceal. On the other side of things, Veronica dresses much more practically when the situation calls for it. She'll trade the fancy clothes for jeans, combat boots, and more practical top. When on more "subtle" jobs, Veronica merely wears her normal attire, but she carries a brown long-coat around that holds many false pockets, and hidden compartments for her to hide pistols, and her throwing knives.

In less subtle operations... Veronica merely puts on her Intimidation Unit gear. Which consists of a skintight wetsuit with a kelvar weave underneath it. All black, of course. As an extra layer of protection, she wears a kelvar vest, with shoulder and kneepads. It's also resistant to most superpowers to a degree. Shock-absorbent, fire-resistant, cold resistant, electrical resistant, etc. However her armor is made to be light-weight, and thus, spares protection for maneuverability. Her gear has plenty of pouches, and secret compartments for her knives, and is clearly designed with her telekinesis in mind. It also has a utility belt with a rappel line attached to it. The armor doesn't show even the slightest amount of Veronica's body, which is to conceal her identity. As a mask, Veronica wears a metal mask that is skull-like and is bulletproof (though the impact is still going to be a bitch).

Not a ray of sunshine, or someone you want on your side.

Veronica is a bitch in almost every sense of the word. Rude, condescending, arrogant, and domineering. She is not a noble woman that fights for justice, but only for her own goals and self interests. She thinks that she's hot shit, and that mostly everyone is inferior to her in some way or another. Which is why she barely gives anyone the time and place; she just stays focused on her mission, and let the idiots do their thing. In interaction, she reveals little about herself, if she isn't giving someone the silent treatment. She's very quick to get annoyed, and she won't hesitate to lash out against someone, and call them very unkind things (Whatever she can think of based off what little interactions she had with them). Veronica certainly is quick to peg people as fools, and inferior to her. Though, she treats people with apathy more than anything.

That means she's incredibly aloof, harsh, and unforgiving. She makes herself incredibly hard to approach, but carries herself with the utmost confidence. Like she is so completely sure of herself, and what she's doing. While people think she's a huge bitch, they think that's her most frightening character trait. It never falters, and she never shows fear. This is also supported by her raging arrogance. Veronica cherishes personal strength, and ensuring that she's the best in any group. She doesn't hesitate in making sure that everyone knows that she's the best. However, she tends to go to stupid lengths to prove this, and her inability to back down from a challenge is certainly a problem.

Veronica doesn't work well with others - well, in a way, she does. When she's the leader. She's a very domineering girl that plays by her own rules, and definitely doesn't enjoy taking orders from people. In her line of work, she has to, but she covers it up with the most bitter and passive-aggressive smile as she carries out her objective. When she's a leader... she's actually pretty good. She leads people through fear, and by example. Fear of what'll happen if you fail her, and follow her example of what to do. She's a bit of a control freak, and that's what really kills team cohesion. Which is why the woman works solo, she just doesn't want the hassle of dealing with a bunch of morons.

However, she can be pleasant if she needs to. Often forcing herself to swallow her pride and treat people with respect. Now, don't get the idea that Veronica isn't civil to begin with. She tends to insult people with the softest, most polite tone mixed with an inherent arrogance and she carries herself in a condescending way. While she otherwise pushes everyone away for personal reasons, she does let a select few in. People that are among the best - the rich, the pretty, the strong, and etc. However, she does have a soft spot for certain kinds of people (Cute boys/girls, or people who don't absolutely annoy her right off the bat). The latter tends to find out that she's quite pleasant, and find out much about the woman.

The people within Veronica's circle just find that she has horrid social/people skills, but isn't as bad as she seems. She has a very low patience for other people, but she makes the effort for her friends. It's mostly because she has trouble expressing her feelings. She goes about things too roughly, and her social skills tend to suffer because of it. Because of her attitudes, Veronica keeps her circle of friends very low. She craves affection, however, and can be quite flirty. Normally, she would only flaunt her good looks and pretend to be interested. However, someone can get her genuinely interested in them. Veronica is bisexual at her core, and has no preference for either gender.

Morals are loose, and very flexible. Veronica will do anything in her capacity to further her own ends. Killing people is nothing - she's killed so many people that she's become scarred to it. So that isn't an issue. She thinks little of rules, and anyone in a position of power. Just a way to keep the sheep in line. However, Veronica isn't completely morally devoid. She has a vague sense of honor, altruism, and she isn't as devoid of her humanity as she likes to hope. She isn't the kind of person who'd go on a killing spree for fun, she wants to make herself out as better than that. As she utterly loathes those kinds of people. Veronica also has the capacity to help people, and while these moments are sparse, she'll certainly lend a hand and save someone long as it doesn't sabotage her own ends. Most importantly.

Veronica seeks to destroy the Founding Family due to the horrible experiments they do on children, and what they did to her family (Specifically, she actively seeks to save what's left of it). She has immense hatred towards the Blessed Three because of what they did to her, and that hatred has effectively numbed her humanity and all other feelings feelings. To the point where she feels nothing, but rage and anger towards the Founding Family. While you may believe that she's doing this for her own ends, but a vague sense of altruism guides her to do so. Her love for her sisters is what primarily motivates her.

While she denies it, there is good in her, she has the best interests at heart.

Veronica enjoys a wide variety of exquisite foods and drinks. She tries to treat herself like a classy lady, and hold up that persona. She does like some sports, while she loathes the likes of football, she definitely enjoys soccer, and especially Tennis - the latter is mostly because she plays it. She loves the people that do play it. Now, Veronica is also a fan of nice long, fancy, baths, in which she takes them within the confines of her apartment. She likes to spice it up with various bath bombs, different soaps, etc. While she finds this embarrassing, Veronica is also a fan of anime, and cartoons, and it's something she does on her downtime.

When Veronica was still in school, she became quite an expert at Tennis. Her footwork, reflexes, and speed are quite good along with her skill. She doesn't play it as much - but whenever she gets the chance, she stops by a tennis court and practices (At times, plays some scrubs at it). Being a native of Quebec, and otherwise French-Canadian, she knows how to speak French fluently. In terms of social skills, Veronica is quite charismatic... and manipulative. She knows how to make people bend around her finger to do as she pleases. Veronica's time with the Founding Family's forces have also taught her combat skills. Not only using her power, but fighting without it. Veronica knows her way around a gun, and prefers pistols above all else. She's behind quite a few assassinations, so you can trust her to make it look like an accident. Hand to hand is also something Veronica is quite skilled at. Combined with her Metahuman ability, Veronica is easily one the best fighters.

While they may believe she's a loyal employee; Veronica's true goal is to get revenge against the Founding Family - specifically the Blessed Three - and liberate her sister, and the rest of the children they have from their grasp.

Cerebral

Little Veronica here was gifted with a telekinetic ability when she consumed the serum. This allows her to exert her mental will on the area around her in ways that you'd expect from a telekinetic. She can move objects with a thought; pulling, pushing, twisting, bending, crushing, etc, etc. She can pull these mental feats off with relative ease - she can control objects with body movements. Since she has a high degree of control over her power, she's capable of manipulating a large amount of objects at a time, or, alternatively, moving a very large object. She's capable of manipulating two cars, while still retaining the ability to walk. Veronica can also use her telekinesis to make herself fly, propelling herself through the air. Any objects she controls will be wrapped in dark-green, wavy, aura, until she releases control of them - and whenever she slightly activates her power, she will be surrounded in a similar field.

For starters, she's affected by the arbitrary range limit! She can only manipulate objects within twenty-feet of herself, and her blasts can only go that far. Nor can Veronica do all these feats at once. She can't have her shield up while manipulating, and vice versa. However, she can of course fly regardless of what she's currently doing. Of course, the more advance feats that Veronica is capable of, also puts a bit of stress on herself, and her body. It'll do more than tire herself out faster - but more details in the weakness section. Her powers have trouble when directly interacting with people. While she is capable of moving them, she can't bend them like a pretzel, nor can she telekinetically stop a heart. Though, if you piss her off, she can certainly keep you pinned to a wall. However, someone with enough willpower can break free from her telekinetic control. Cerebral-types are also resistant to all her abilities. The shield can only be twelve feet in total size, but the larger it is, the harder it will be to maintain. It can take an immense barrage, but there's a weakness that balances that out nicely. Let's say that it can take a few full strength hits from a super strong Metahuman and tank it like it's nothing. Oh, and it only blocks physical attacks. Energy goes right on through it. I'd also like to note that the shield can only defend her from one direction, she can only protect within five feet of herself, and she'll be immobile for the duration. Go figure.

Veronica needs to maintain a high level of control over her ability in order to keep using it. If you somehow break her concentration (and keep it that way), then she'll be unable to use her telekinesis properly. It's also linked to her body, mind, and spirit. Using it causes injuries to her body in the form of your garden variety nosebleed, to horrific headaches, and strained muscles. She'll basically have one hell of a hangover after a particularly drawn out battle. A counter to Veronica's ability is energy-based attacks. You see, Veronica emits her own telekinetic (Or Mental) energy. Once she is subjugated to energy of the sorts, her power will begin to weaken. Shooting her telekinetic blasts has a bit of a recoil. It can throw her off balance at best, and absolutely ravage her wrist/hands at worst. Depends on how strong the blast, the more powerful blasts can do it, while the weaker blasts barely damage her. Finally, while her shield is immensely durable, it comes with a "mental backlash," which is sent back towards Veronica. It is a pain proportionate to the damage the shield withstands. She could be gushing blood out of her nose. Which means that it's incredible hard to keep active.

Lupe E. Bellasquez was born in Mexico, Lupe lived the early years of her life in relative comfort, since she was fortunate enough to have a somewhat good living condition. Her father was a very talented engineer, and her mother worked as a surgeon. They lived good, so her early life wasn't anything special. She went to school, met people, and had fun as she should. Quickly growing up to be a social butterfly without too much adversity to alter the course of her life. Her parents had another child when she was around five, her mother got pregnant with another child, and nine months later, she was introduced to her new twin brothers: Alejandro and Diego. She welcomed her younger brother with open arms, and looked forward to when they could play together. The big change in her life was once she was ten, when Lupe's father got a job for a big American company, and had to move to San Francisco. She was blindsided by the change, but was nonetheless open about it. Though, she had a feeling of insecurity as she rode the plane to America. Once there, she had to get over a bit of... culture shock to say the least. Learning English, differing social customs, and so on, was a bit of a problem for Lupe. She had a bit of a problem getting over it - until she had ran into the Hispanic crowd. Some of them were from out of country themselves, and they helped her adjust, and in the process, Lupe had made herself some friends and refined those social skills a bit. After she got used the country, she came to like the place. Having a nice house helped.

Life continued for Lupe. She didn't go without her home country as she visited there plenty of times. Sometimes staying for months on end. While she was there, she spent plenty of time with her Grandparents, especially her grandmother, whom was a legend when it came to the guitar. A woman that played in professional bands, before retiring. Since the old lady didn't have much else to do, she spent her quality time with her granddaughter teaching her how to play the guitar. Even gifting her with one of her old guitars. At first, Lupe didn't really get it, but as she played more and more, it stuck to her, and it became a hobby that she perfected into her adulthood. Life from there was great, she became a social butterfly in school. One that made friends with all the cooler girls, and became what is called a "popular" girl. She hung out with her friends through her middle-school years. Once she hit high school, she hit a whole new level. Things got more intense. Sex, drugs, drinking... they were tempting, but Lupe stays away from them. As she was taught not to give into those vices. It was hard, given that some of her nastier friends called her a prude and cut ties. It didn't matter, but Lupe stuck around with the friends that mattered to her. That said, Lupe never excelled in academics, as those weren't her focus. She got passing grades and that was just about it.

Once powers entered the mix, things got a bit more interesting. Lupe discovered her powers while visiting a friend's house. While she was gussing herself up in a mirror, she had accidentally fired off a beam that cracked a hole in her friend's mirror. Obviously, Lupe was freaked out. As she was trying to figure out what happened, her arm began glowing a vibrant pink color. She covered up the glowing arms, and ran home (Leaving her friend without an explanation as to why she now has a burnt mirror). A scary experience, but Lupe quickly realized that she was a superhuman. One that could manifest a gaseous energy, something she vowed to learn everything about this power. It was something she did on the side, in secret. When she had nothing else to do. It took a while (and plenty of destroyed furniture) for her to figure out this ability, and that was when she was comfortable with sharing it with her family. They were shocked, but were still loving of their daughter. They knew she wasn't a freak or a monster, long as she didn't use that power to hurt people. Though, she kept this a secret from her friends. What was most notable was that her younger brother, Alejandro, had manifested a power at the same time. A cyrokinetic minion that could snap freeze anything with a touch, along with Alejandro having a control over ice itself. Lupe and Alejandro teamed up to practice together, to do some play fights. There was something off about him during their spars, Alejandro was far too aggressive. However, he mellowed out after Lupe called him out. They got closer, and improved with their powers greatly. However, Diego, who hadn't manifested (Yet), resented them for their powers, and choose to distance himself from them. Lupe didn't exactly know where Diego was coming from. Was it a jealousy because he wasn't special? Any attempts to connect to her brother only earned her the cold shoulder. Eventually, Lupe gave up. Diego, and Alejandro too, became very cruel children, bullying whoever they could. Contrasting with Lupe's kind heart. Lupe wondered if she would have to put down Alejandro should he go too far with his power.

The twins bullying ways caught up to them very fast after Diego caused a kid to have a heart attack in school, resulting in the child's death. Giving Diego an involuntary manslaughter charge - he was sentenced to two years in prison (Barely dodging being tried as an adult). At the same time, his power had manifested, which meant he had to be sent to a Meta-human prison. That... bothered Lupe, but she kept going on to the best of her ability. Visiting Diego was the first step. However, Alejandro got out of control. He got much more violent. Hanging out with the wrong crowds, even slipping into a gang. Lupe wanted to say something, but the two had long drifted apart from each other. She just played along. A year since Diego's imprisonment, and her life changed a few months before her graduation... for the worse. While she was hanging out at a friend's house, Alejandro had joined a particularly violent gang of Hispanics. Putting his power to good use freezing people to the point of near-death. He had gotten a good reputation for himself. A good enough to get the attention of their father had to get involved. During one gang fight, their father had went there in an attempt to get Alejandro out of there before he gets killed, arrested, or worse. However, the first outcome came true once another Meta-human entered the fight. A young electrokinetic gang member had fired off the mother of all lightning bolts at Alejandro, with their father right behind him. The boy had taken most of the bolt, getting killed instantly, with their father getting injured badly enough that he was sent into a coma with no signs of ever waking up. By the time Lupe got home, she was greeted by her crying mother, who explained what happened. This news had devastated Lupe. She immediately burst into tears and ran into her bathroom. She... didn't know what she was thinking when she grabbed a razor blade and carved up her wrist, before slumping in the corner, in a pool of her own blood, and waiting to bleed out. Her mother had opened the door, and immediately called the ambulance. From there, Lupe was sent to the hospital where she was patched up. It was a few days before she got out (After dodging suicide watch)... a changed woman. Where her mother went to alcohol, Lupe went to the seven deadly sins in over to recover. That moment was when she realized that her life could end in the flash of an eye. So, why should she live with all these rules she had composed on herself?

Lupe's family still had saved up a college fund for her so she can go off to the San Francisco College and have a chance at success, Lupe only saw it as a new opportunity to indulge herself. She went to every party out that would take a Hispanic girl like her. There were plenty, actually. She met new people, from far and wide, that had the same interests as her: to live life as if every day was their last. She integrated into this new crew to the best of her ability, and became a sort of team leader for them. Along the way, she was getting into fights with people for cheap thrills. Picking fights with believed rapists, drug dealers, and other thugs. She even used her power in order to put that gift to good use for once. While she did have fun, she was rather strapped for funds, so she needed a job or two that had flexible work schedules. Fortunately, she had two options actually. First, her DJ friend had referred her to a club that was hiring. Lupe has DJ'd for a few parties in the past, and her DJ friend taught her even more, enough to hired. She was sent forth and got hired at the club... Another more risque job she was suggested was becoming a stripper. Her friend was also a stripper and told her that Lupe was everything they wanted, and could ace the job. Lupe considered it... but at this point, she was open for anything. She took the job and it was uncomfortable dancing for all these strange and sweaty men. But she had to get use to it. The money was good, too good to pass up, so she had no choice. Both jobs got her enough money to continue her lifestyle. So, while it was work, the reward was too good. Plus, she was able to balance her job, schoolwork, and her social and party life quite well, so it didn't matter. But the problem was that she found it was getting harder and harder to go home and look her mother in the eye.

A few months before the current events of the story, and Diego was finally released from prison... a changed kid, Lupe didn't know how to go about it, really. Their mother had told him what happened to his brother and father (After hiding it for at least a year). She long lost her ability to truly empathize with people, so she left him alone. Gave him space as he suffered. Lupe continued with her usual hedonistic routine, until another variable entered the mix. She had received an invitation to Academy 218. The woman had no interest in going, preferring to keep her power a secret. However, her mother had caught on to Lupe's habits - because of a coworker of hers had visited the strip joint she works at - and forced her to head to the Academy.

Along with Diego, she was going to have a dandy time there.

Diego J. Bellasquez was technically born in Mexico alongside his twin brother Alejandro, but moved to America shortly after - with their older sister, Lupe coming along too. His father was a talented Engineer that worked in Mexico before he got a job in America. They lived in the city of San Francisco. Unlike the rest of his family, who grew up out of the states, Diego and his brother had grown up in America. So there wasn't so much adjusting as there was developing in the states. Though, he and his family visited Mexico plenty of times. So he managed to experience plenty his supposed homeland for himself. During all of his visits, he was given impromptu guitar lessons from his Grandmother, who used to play in a band and was incredibly talented. Diego and all his siblings were naturals when it came to the guitar. To the point where their Grandmother gave each of them guitars that she used in her past. Which became a hobby that Diego resorted to whenever he couldn't go outside, or engage in other activities. That said, Diego and Alejandro's life was rather... eventful. He and his brother were given a bit too much freedom because their father spent too much time at work to be a role-model, and when he was home, he didn't bother. His mother wasn't strict enough to be a good mother either, she gave them too much freedom. Which caused some problems for them later on, once they attended school. They found themselves getting mingled with the bad crowd, the ghetto kids. The kind of kids that caused trouble for everyone and misbehaved. Because of the media glorifying their activities, and peer pressure, Diego and Alejandro were interested in becoming part of them. That's where it all went wrong for the two.

Sure, as they moved along with their classes, they became the "popular" kids, but they also viciously bullied other kids for no reason other than the fact that it made them feel powerful, feared, and that they can do whatever they want to. They targeted kids that were weird and strange, or outcasts, and were truly merciless. They pranked them, they insulted them, and when they could go away with it, they physically beat them. This continued for what had to be years, except they changed targets since their victims tended to skip school. They rarely got punishments other than spending a bit of time in detention. They didn't really focus on their academics, they got enough to pass, and that's what kept them out of the eyes of their parents. One peculiar thing that happened to his family was his twin brother and sister developing powers. His sister gained the power to create an energy, and Alejandro gained a icy-minion he could summon at will. Diego didn't have any powers, but he felt as if he meant he was normal, and his siblings were freaks. Which caused a bit of a drift between the three siblings. As Diego didn't feel anymore different from them than the moment they got their powers. He continued with his previous activities of bullying nerds without his brother - who did the same without Diego. It didn't matter, long as the boy could remain a top-dog. As he progressed through school, he felt unstoppable. Like he was the king of the school. Merely because he kept the uglies of the school down where they belonged.

Diego had continued through middle school with his activities. Using his bullying and his basketball talents to get himself in with the popular kids. He was living large. But all that changed one schooldays, so did his entire life. During the tail-end of his middle-school run, when he was almost fifteen, he had taken it too far. He was currently bullying a boy who had a severe case of claustrophobia. One particular prank he had thought was funny involved throwing this kid into the supply closet and not letting him out. The boy had screamed in terror and banged on the door begging Diego to let him out, when the boy had a heart attack and sadly died. When the boy's cries for help stopped, so did Diego's laughter, he opened the door and saw the boy's dead body flop onto the floor. Diego was hysterical, and desperately shook the boy to try to get him to wake up, but it was far too late. It was all a joke! Nobody should have gotten killed. Diego was taken by school staff, where he was left in the principal's office until the police came and taken him to the station. It was an incident that spread fast through his neighborhood, even gotten a mention on the news. It was a massive scandal among the Bellasquez family. Diego could face jail time for what he did. His family argued for ages, shifting blame to one person to another, while he rotted in a cell. He contemplated what he did over and over again. To say the least, what happened fucked him up big time. He lied in that cell, near catatonic, letting whatever happened to him happen. That was when it happened, the flames of Agni being sparked for the first time. In the cell, the boy combusted into a wreath of flames, and every movement Diego took spread more of the flames around. He created so many flames, which would have burned down the jail if the sprinkles hadn't come on. The fires were extinguished, but symbols of flames had burned themselves into Diego (Which were obvious since he burned his clothes off). Diego himself had fallen unconscious, and was past out until he woke up in the hospital (Handcuffed and duct taped to the table). That was where they had determined he was a Meta-human, and delegated the boy to the local Meta-human enforcement Agency. But Agni loomed over his mind. Taunting him, and communicating with him. Haunting him....

The fated day of trial had come, and it was the worst day of his life. Diego was charged with involuntary manslaughter, and sentenced to two years in prison. He nearly broke down on the spot. As they dragged him away, he felt as if it would be the last time he would ever see his family. He was sent to a special Supah-human prison for youths that abused their powers. Kids that killed, stole, and abused the powerless, with their powers. Diego tried to bide his time, but he was always fighting. People thought that he was weak, and with the help of Agni, he quickly ended those sentiments. On the side, he was receiving proper training with his power under the careful instructions of the staff. Training him to use his powers properly, and what will happen if he loses control. They didn't need to teach him what would happen if he abused it - he would come right back here. The prison was hell, almost everyone was their own kind of vicious. While Diego only wanted redemption. All Diego wanted to do was find a way out, any way. He considered suicide, but the first attempt was quickly stopped by Agni. Whom vowed never to let Diego threaten their combined existence. The two years that passed in there were the hardest of Diego's life, but the only relief he received was the visiting hours when his family came to see him. It was hard talking to them, but they were his hope, his optimism. What kept him going. However, a year into his sentence, his father and brother stopped visiting. With his mother telling him that they wanted nothing more to do with Diego. That hurt him, but he knew that someone was still rooting for him in the form of Lupe and his own mother. He fought, he learned, he worked, he grew - with his demon constantly over his shoulder. Diego didn't let everything get to him. He promised himself that he would change for the better. He would change the world for the better.

But, a few months before the current events of the story, Diego was finally released from prison. A changed man. He went home and expected to see his entire family, however, he was told the truth a few weeks later. It was salt in the wounds. Alejandro, his twin brother, had become a violent child and gotten himself involved in a gang. During one gang battle, his father got in the middle of it in an attempt to save Alejandro. However, an electricity manipulating meta fried the two of them. Sending his father into a coma, and killing Alejandro. His twin brother... dead? This forced Diego into hiding for a few weeks. Thinking about what happened, and pondering it over with Agni. He thought about it, and finally decided to keep moving. More dedication towards his goal of getting better. He wished he could have saved Alejandro, but he knew that his brother had spiraled out of control. Alejandro choose that life, and he suffered the consequences. Even if he did survive, it would have been likely Diego would have had to put him down himself. Diego began attending church again, helping in soup kitchens, and being a help to his community. He felt like he was on the path to redemption. Though, it was difficult with Agni taunting him constantly. However, he was sent an invitation to the Pavilion Academy. He didn't want to go, since he rejected the demon on his shoulder... but his mother simply wanted to get him, and his sister, out of their house. Because both of them had brought a great deal of shame and stress upon the family. So they were enrolled against their will and sent to Academy 218.

Ready for a new adventure.

Trevor didn't go to high school, he went to school high.

The boy had very humble beginnings, born in Texas, Trevor was the youngest child of several older and better looking siblings (Martin, Chloe, and Scarlet). His parents were scientists for the ISD (They met in the business) who designed buildings in other countries, and had enough money for them to live in comfort. Not much to really say here, except for the fact that Trevor was born with his power (The power that turned him into a living drug factory). It was just so weak starting out that it wasn't even noticeable. His power grew with him, and, because of it, he never got sick. Now, as Trevor got older, his family took him along on hunting trips. Trips into the wild. It started with him watching, then they let him in on the hunting by teaching him archery. Right off the bat, it was clear that Trevor was talented (Maybe a prodigy) at the bow. Quickly, they got him official lessons, and nurtured his talent. Eventually, he could easily take a deer out from a clearing. This is also where he got many of his other skills in the hunting field, as this was a hobby that he grew up with.

Trevor was always a bit effeminate. His mother would let him play with girls toys sometimes, or wear girl's clothing (because she thought it was cute). Though, it grew up with him. In terms of education, Trevor was sent to a private school, and he wasn't anything special - lackluster, even. School isn't something he remembers fondly because he was a bullied child. It was because... Trevor was rather effeminate right off the bat. The boys bullied him for being so girly (he was once smeared in makeup), and the girls called him weird. This rejection only meant that Trevor had his home life as an escape. They let him pick up an instrument - a saxophone - as a way to distract himself. It worked, and Trevor used his saxophone talent to help him get through school. Again, there wasn't much to go over, he advanced through his classes, hunted, and whatnot.

Things changed once Scarlet's power developed, and it was revealed that she was born from an affair. This news rocked the family, and, nearly literally, tore them apart. They divorced, and each parent took two. Trevor's father took Chloe and Marin, while his mother took Scarlet, and Trevor himself, and they went their separate ways. Trevor, Scarlet, and their mother (F*ck their siblings!) went eastward, into the strange and fabulous city of Black Fall. It was much different from Texas, but Trevor was fine. They moved in, and got Trevor acquainted with school (The bullying wasn't as bad). From there, they didn't live with the same degree of comfort as before, but they got by. Their mother still worked for the ISD. They managed to go on the big hunting trips that they did before. Though, Trevor went through a bit of a change at school - he found himself attracted to fellow student at his school, a conveniently gay student. He was conflicted with his budding sexuality! Trevor knew exactly what to do: he walked up to the dude and told him that he was hot. And he agreed. They eventually became friends, and, eventually, lovers. Trevor was mighty unsure of his sexuality - but he was sure that he wanted to tap that.

They kept it a secret, but they went on dates, and got to know each other very well. Though, his boyfriend told him that he always felt odd whenever they touched (Which felt worse when they kissed). One day, they were making out behind the school, and Trevor's boyfriend was acting odd afterwards. Like, he was on his back, stammering on about seeing a rainbow, and other things. Trevor could have taken advantage of the moment, but something was odd here. He immediately went to his mom, and told her what happened (changing his story around that his boyfriend was a girlfriend). She, using some ISD equipment she brought home, tested him, and it turned out that Trevor was a Metahuman. She immediately took him to get registered under NEST, and they helped him find out about it's many properties and effects. Though, he wasn't particularly a fan of his powers.

He went on like he never had a power in the first place. He went on as if nothing had ever happened in the first place... Things changed again one night. Hands of Science soldiers raided the Obott household, and silently kidnapped their mother because of her power and her ISD connection. They just woke up, and saw that she wasn't there. After frantically searching, they called the police. Who did nothing, since they believed she didn't want to be found. No one knew who they were, or what they wanted. Their father didn't want anything to do with them, and sent them a letter saying "Good riddance, bitch!". However, the same day, NEST Representatives came to talk to Scarlet. They told her that if she joins NEST, they'll give her a place to live in Verthaven, and give Trevor a spot in Academy 12. Since they didn't have much of a choice, they went along with it, and to Verthaven they went.

They got a house in the Crystal Shores (Which was perfect for a hipster like him), and stuck around in Academy 12, and learned about his power. Trevor actually liked the place. The beaches were full of the best booties on the planet, and it was sunny. Trevor got used to it. He made plenty of friends in Academy 12, while his sister was off training to become the greatest NEST Agent.

During the whole nonsense with the Fiends, Trevor stayed down low. Because he didn't want anything to do with no druggy.

Female

Phoebe has an interesting body, she is a walking, living, breathing plant in a human shape. She can turn her body into any plant or vegetation imaginable, shaping it into weapons, extra-limbs, and so forth. She can also create any consumable plant or vegetable by willing it. Her biology is also drastically different from humans, it's more of plant biology. In place of blood, she has various plant liquids (Water, Green Chlorophyll, Etc) constantly being transported. She doesn't have a circulatory system like humans do. Phoebe has a vascular system, that that is similar to the blood vessels in animals. However rather then having a heart to move her fluids about; other forces are utilized (Root pressure, etc). Therefore she has no heartbeats, breaths, etc.

Her biology/body is drastically different from humans, but still retains a few key features that allows her to function/appear as a human. Phoebe "breathes" through her skin, and she can create oxygen in the process. It's simple, she breathes by 'inhaling' carbon dioxide and 'exhaling' oxygen, creating a constant amount of oxygen for everyone to use! Now, if you're wondering about heat, stop right there. Phoebe isn't frigid. If you're wondering why, with her differing biology (and metabolism that doesn't constantly produce heat) is that some plants produce Alternative Oxidase. Which, in short, produce heat in response to cold areas to stay alive. So, essentially, how warm she is depends on how cold it is. If she's in snow, she can actually get hot enough to melt slow - otherwise, her temperature remains low.

Sorry, I was getting a little too science-y. Because of her alternate biology, she has a form of regeneration. By forcing her body to grow new plant matter to repair damage. Depending on what's damaged, this can be near instantaneous. Usually it's automatic and body-wide, but she can selectively regenerate any part of her body. She can also draw/absorb other plant matter to repair the damaged tissue. Replacing a lost limb is elementary. Phoebe is resistant to diseases and toxins. Some plants deal with infection/poison by simply killing off the infected tissue and expelling it before it spreads. She'll lose a bit of matter, but Phoebe can quickly regenerate the lost tissue. She can control and secrete pheromones that are generated from plants, which can allow her to draw a swarm of insects to herself, or repel them. Useless ability, but is cool to have.

Phoebe also has a connection to other plants. She can sense them in the immediate area, and instinctively gain information about them (which part of their life cycle they're in, what kind of plant they are, etc, etc). Phoebe can also sense through them if she focuses. You see, to an extent, plants can feel, smell, and taste (There's also a theory that they can hear, but nah). Well, it's mostly limited to other plants. Plants can feel, and Phoebe knows what they feel. Such as a gust of wind, or someone touching them, she has long learned the difference. Now, Phoebe can do the usual manipulation of plants other than herself. She can freely manipulate the growth and size, and exercises precise control over them. Making them grow to exponential levels in mere seconds. She can control wood, vines, plants, moss and fungus, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. She can use the plants around her to both attack and defend herself from harm. Her ability requires her feet be on the ground, otherwise her control is severely weakened. She generally exerts physical force by stomping her feet or digging her fingers into the soil, to increase her power to amazing levels. Phoebe can basically control all plants, and is all powerful in woods. Not too much to describe here, since you should already know what she can do.

Her last ability, to make her even more overpowered, is Plant-Based Resurrection. In short, if she dies, her body withers away and turns into dust, then a little seed comes out. If this seed is currently in contact with soil, it'll dig itself in. Then the seed will grow another body over the course of a few days. She'll return to an earlier age, the exact point where she got her powers back in her teens. She's functionally immortal. Of course, if she isn't by dirt, then someone will have to plant it or else she'll be in her dormant seed state either either the seed decays, or it's destroyed.

Phoebe's body is very frail and easy to damage, while she can turn into wood, that isn't the most durable material. She can get destroyed very easily, but fortunately, she can regenerate. Phoebe is weak against plant destroying elements such as fire, lightning, ice, and poisons. Fire and heat are her primary weakness, however. If she's on fire, her regeneration will be severely slowed until the flame is extinguished. Getting burned to ash can also kill Phoebe for good. Phoebe's strength depends on how many plants are around, if she's in a desolate area, she's not that hard to beat. Mostly because she's not that powerful by herself. If she's deprived of sunlight for too long, then she'll become sluggish and slow - Eventually she'll shut down and remain dormant until she gets sunlight again. She needs to be without sunlight for a day or so for this to occur. However, if she uses up all of her energy by using her powers, and is without sunlight for a long period of time, she'll go dormant anyway. If she's deprived of water, then her body will dry up and begin to wither and will gradually lose access to her plant powers, until she dies and reverts back to a seed. Phoebe can be killed for good if someone were to destroy her seed, or if she dies by burning to death. Her resurrection can be interrupted if someone damages her in the process of growing a new body. If her body is destroyed during this process, she'll revert back to a seed.

The first impression people get from Phoebe by glancing at her is that she's quite nerdy in terms of her looks. Not to a ridiculous degree, however. It's mostly just her glasses, and her braces. It's not helped by her very svelte frame. She is one inch underneath the female average at five-feet-four, though, she wishes that she was taller. Her arms and legs are almost devoid of thickness, and her stomach is completely tight. In fact, if you look at her naked, then you'd see her bones. This is mostly because her power has changed her biology to the point where it's impossible for her to get fat (She can survive off doing nothing but drinking water). On the flipside, she'll never develop any muscles. So, no matter what she eats, she'll stay this way no matter what (For other reasons, too). Phoebe is African American, with bits of Ugandan, Ethiopian, and Kenyan, in her blood, which contributes to her appearance. Her facial features, skull-shape, and hair-texture, match Africans. Her skin is a very dark brown-ish black color. Has plenty of moles, and marks - more specifically, a mole on her cheek that seems to pop up whenever Phoebe smiles. Phoebe's facial features are quite round, and child-like in a way. Her cheeks are so round/large that they tend to poke out whenever she smiles. The other pronounced facial feature Phoebe has is her nose. Her nose is a quite large button nose with a pronounced tip, and large nostrils. Her lips are quite thick, much like people with her ethnic background. Her ears are small, and diamond-shaped, and her eyes are medium-sized, almond-shaped, and have amber irises. Phoebe's hair is straight, somewhat fizzy, and very clean. She keeps it brushed behind her head into a bun.

A certainly cheerful, and level-headed youth. She displays a great deal of maturity and understandable unlike her peers. She's very capable of handling mature subjects, and discussing them. All while being playful enough to have a common ground with her peers. Phoebe is quite kind and charming. Intelligent, too.

Phoebe was born in sunny Key West to a pair of loving parents. She spent most of her young life in a Floridan suburb, and lived a happy life growing up with friends, and plenty of learning experiences. When she was young, her father was sent away to fight in the war in Iraq, and when he came back years later, he changed. A decent fellow when he left, now he was riddled with PTSD, and alcohol. He worried Phoebe's family up until he up and disappeared not too long later. Phoebe was devastated by the transformation he went through, was greatly saddened to see that her family had lost a member. The grief made Phoebe manifest her power in her bed room. While she was curled up in her bedroom, she started excreting vines all over the room and turned it into a jungle. Her mother ran in, terrified, and Phoebe figured out what she was doing. She managed to clean it up with her mother (Earning some funny looks from her neighbors), but they had a serious talk about keeping it a secret, and never using the ability or else people would get hurt. Phoebe agreed to it - but practiced it in secret. This went on for a year, as Phoebe learned about how her power works.

However, it wasn't long until they caught wind of a special Academy for mutants. Her mother figured that she could do better in a better learning environment, and they both agreed to send Phoebe there.

Nothing in particular, people just call her Phoebe.

February 18th, 1971

Female.

Phoebe is certainly a stand out girl in her appearance. Due to her genes, puberty kicked in like a bitch and "awarded" her with some pretty impressive height for a girl her age. Instead of being around the female average, Phoebe herself is already five-nine, and it's all but confirmed that she'll get much taller with age (Hell, she may be over six feet tall once she fully develops). She isn't exactly proud of her height, because she gets picked on a lot for being so damn tall. This is mostly genes originating from both her father and mother's side - they're both really tall. While it only makes sense from Phoebe inheriting her height from her mother, her father plays a good part, too.

The way Phoebe walks is that she has a bounce to her step. She takes slow and deliberate steps, that are, while careful, are quite large. She rarely takes massive steps that cross much distance. Though, once she gets moving, expect her to make good use of her size. It might be the glasses, but Phoebe looks pretty nerdy. She wears wide round glasses that pretty much make her scream NEEEEERD, mixed with her braces. What doesn't help is her rather meek, and shy demeanor. People just get the idea that she would rather stick to the books than go outside. She's thin as a rail. Her limbs are devoid of thickness, but they are easily the most muscular part of Phoebe. She's still developing after all. Her body has a square body shape that's pretty free of this thing called curves. Her bra is a budding 30B, and she likes it that way because bigger boobs would just get in the way.

Speaking of which, it's not unexpected for Phoebe to have some kind of bruises or cuts on her. Especially on her knees because she fell over, or some other hilarious injury because she's clumsy. Phoebe is African American, with bits of Ugandan, Ethiopian, and Kenyan, in her blood, which contributes to her appearance. Her facial features, skull-shape, and hair-texture, match Africans. Her skin is a very dark brown-ish black color. Has plenty of moles, and marks - more specifically, a mole on her cheek that seems to pop up whenever Phoebe smiles. Phoebe's facial features are quite round, and child-like in a way. Her cheeks are so round/large that they tend to poke out whenever she smiles. The other pronounced facial feature Phoebe has is her nose. Her nose is a quite large button nose with a pronounced tip, and large nostrils. Her lips are quite thick, much like people with her ethnic background. Her ears are small, and diamond-shaped, and her eyes are medium-sized, almond-shaped, and have amber irises. Phoebe's hair is straight, somewhat fizzy, and very clean. She keeps it brushed behind her head into a bun.

Phoebe herself, despite her size, and sporty attitude, is actually a little shy. Phoebe herself grew up as the youngest of three prettier, and more popular siblings. Phoebe usually got the stick compared to them. They go to parties while she reads a book, or watches TV. Phoebe is just the kind of girl that wasn't exactly drawn to social interaction. However, the girl is not a complete introvert. She just merely keeps her circle of friends small. In fact, she is quite capable of holding up a conversation. Which prominently displays her more playful and cheerful side - which is enough that she has some common grounds with her peers.

The girl is quite nerdy. She loves music, books, movies, TV shows, and it's not uncommon to see the girl at the arcades just chilling. Because she's naturally more imaginative, she leans more towards the budding media industry than just being the coolest. Though, one thing that Phoebe absolutely adores is music. She loves Hip-Hop and R&B, but she also loves rock like Genesis, The Smiths, Madonna, David Bowie, etc.

The girl is naturally curious, and fun loving. She's incredibly open minded for a girl in this day and era, and is willing to give everything a shot... long as it doesn't involve drugs, murder, cannibalism, that shit. Honestly, she's just very adventurous. She prefers the wild to the concrete jungle that she finds herself in. Which is why she would absolutely love to go camping. Everyone in her family thinks it's a stupid idea, so they don't even do it for her. Phoebe is also a avid lover of plants, and she'll often point out plant species, and make good use of them.

Though, her relationship with her parents is very strained at the moment. Her father and her mother don't particularly see eye to eye anymore. With her family becoming borderline abusive after serving in the Vietnam war, and everyone started drifting apart. With each family member becoming self-important, and verbally abusive. This has made Phoebe into a very spiteful little girl. She's quick to let her anger get the best of her. That also makes little Phoebe here emotionally fragile.

Thompson Sarin, 36 – Big daddy of the Sarin family, Thompson was a pretty kind mind who only had the interests of his family at heart. Though, once the Vietnam war came around, he was drafted, and when the war ended, he came back a different man. Riddled with PTSD and anger, he lashed out at his family at the shit he's seen, and caused tension like no other. He turned hateful towards his family, and this is the cause of them being all awful. Worst of all, Phoebe herself was too young to even know the man had changed. She was too young to even know about the kind man.

Vanessa Sarin, 34 – Phoebe's mother. She's a chef at a bakery, and loved to be a mother of such a family. She was the kind supportive mother of the Sarin family that drove them to do well. However, once Thompson was sent off to the Vietnam war, she was riddled with stress like no other. Fear for her husband's life drove her to drink. Vanessa just waited for the day when she'd learn that her husband was dead. However, he survived... and he wasn't the man she married. He was a depressed, horrid man, that made her life hell. Over time, it made Vanessa herself bitter as he was, and she lashed out at her kids.

David Sarin, 18 – The older brother of Phoebe, and an aspiring rapper. He was distant towards his family from the start, but after his father came back, he honestly wanted nothing to do with them. All because he was the closest with his father, and the change into a hostile man hurt David to his core. He would rather hang out with his friends, and fulfill his dreams of becoming a rapper than come anywhere near his family.

Brittney Sarin, 18 – Brittney is David's twin sister, and the two are similar in terms of personality. Both are distant towards their relatives, and both dream of better things than what they have. Brittney was naturally a nasty little girl.

N/A

The girl has a natural talent in music. Her singing voice is nails on a chalkboard, but give her a guitar, and man, she's going to be with the professionals some day. She's incredibly talented with a bass guitar, to the point where some people say she's a prodigy. Honestly, she's not the best, but she's pretty damn good for her age. Phoebe also dabbles with brass instruments a bit, and has some knowledge of saxophones, and trumpets. Phoebe is also pretty damn smart from reading so many books. I wouldn't say that she's smart in the Academic sense, but she's sure as hell good at putting two and two together, and displays a surprising awareness for a girl her age. Phoebe is also an amateur botanist, she has a surprising knowledge of plants, and knows how to put some to use at least.

Nothing to see here.

Born as an only child in the nigh-tropical Floridan city of Key West, Michelle's early life up to her teen years were uneventful. She was a simple little girl living her life. Her parents were hard working people who slaved away in the offices to support her. Heat was something Michelle got used to as she grew up in what had to be a tropical paradise. She was pushed towards sports by her parents, whom truly wanted a son, but were willing to settle for a girl. It didn't matter to Michelle, since it was . Soccer, Baseball, and Swimming, were three sports that she had grown to love doing, and became pretty good at too. That skill was something that netted her plenty of friends. But it also made her fiercely competitive. Michelle was constantly finding her way into trouble, to her parent's dismay. Picking fights with people, or causing general mischief, Michelle found her situations to be quite amusing. Which meant she kept doing it because she thought it'd be fun. Again, causing problems that her parents had to solve. They disciplined Michelle, but they were simply too lax with their punishments to make any difference in her behavior. So there wasn't anyone to really stop her from exploring her growing masculine-side either. As her mother wasn't too solid of a strong female role model either.

Things took a quick turn once she turned fifteen, in the middle of an incredibly awkward stage of her life (The dreaded puberty). Her power had awakened. Subtly at that. There was no traumatic event attached, it was merely developing all her life until it reached the point where it could be activated. It first manifested in a freak growth spurt that shot her height up from 5'3 to 5'8 in a short amount of time. Then it made her harder, better, faster, stronger, in... noticeable ways. The sports she played, the fights she won, she realized that she could do it much better now. Michelle was quickly realizing that she might be becoming a superhuman - and her parents caught on too. However, they were wrong in what they theorized Michelle had. What they thought was simple peak-human capabilities turned out to be something much more... beastly. And it awakened in one of the worst moments. Michelle was showering after a big basketball game with her team, and she felt a pain like no other. Her vision changed, and she quickly fell and curled up onto the ground. Scales had covered her skin, as her body visibly changed to that of a velociraptor. Everyone absolutely freaked out, and hauled ass before the dinosaur girl could eat them! Michelle herself didn't have any idea what was going on, but she desperately shambled around, almost fooling herself into thinking it was a bad dream. Trained professionals were called to deal with her and Michelle was captured. On the way there, Michelle had curled up and accidentally transformed back into her human form. They had realized that it wasn't a raptor rampaging through the school, but it was Michelle's Meta-human ability manifesting. After (very awkwardly) clearing it up with NEST, Michelle was released. But, by then, the damage was already done. The world had known Michelle for the creature she had turned into. Her friends rejected her, no one would help her. Even her own family had turned her back on Michelle and cast her out on the streets with her clothes and some supplies. They didn't want anything to do with their monstrous child anymore.

Cast out on the streets, Michelle literally had nothing to her name. Michelle left Key West and headed towards, well, anywhere that wasn't there. She was so broken by being forced to live on her own. Michelle stuck to the swamps and wooded areas. Living off the land to the best of her ability. This is where she experimented with the very power that got her in this situation in the first place. She tried to learn her limits and capabilities. She learned that she had the ability to transform into Dinosaurs. She practiced this ability often as she could (there was a period afterwards where she had to take a break) and realized how strong she was. She stopped scrounging for foods and learned to hunt it herself. She became a wild-child, and honestly, she wouldn't have it any other way. Michelle stayed away from humanity, except for the few times she had to come back to get some new clothes. Michelle drifted from place to place for what had to be a year. Sticking close to the warmer parts of Florida. She drifted a little closely to a circus. She snuck in using her power to help and decided to watch the show. From there, she learned that the performers were certainly superhuman. Performing tricks for the thrills of themselves and others. However, Michelle didn't expect for one of the performers to be a telepath on the look out for people trying to steal a show like her. She was lectured by the woman, who threatened to call the police. Michelle dropped her entire story in some hope that the popo wouldn't get involved. The story had moved the woman, and Michelle's life was going to take another turn.

The woman had offered to take Michelle under her wing at the local circus (Which was mostly comprised of superhumans), as the woman was looking for someone like her. Michelle would get food and a place to stay, but she had to learn how to perform acrobatics like the rest of them. She accepted the deal in a heartbeat, truly wanting a place where she belonged. From there, Michelle's training began. It wasn't exactly easy, the girl had to work hard. But as the months went by, it came to her. As a plus, Michelle got in plenty of practice with her power. As Michelle learned, she often went out into the woods for awhile to be the beast that felt so natural to her. Or when she was annoyed, angry, or depressed. It became her sanctuary, as nobody would go anywhere near there. In her spare time, Michelle had received some some Wrestling matches with the other carnies. It was strange, but Michelle learned how to use that strength of hers for some brutal takedowns. Along with relieving plenty of stress. In less than a year, Michelle had learned about acrobatics and became a regular performer in their acts. Life felt great.

For a few years, Michelle worked as a Circus performer. Most of all, she became pretty close to her fellow carnies. Until she was around twenty did things change. Michelle began rather... disillusioned with the life of a carnie. It helped her perfect her ability, and now she wanted to help the world with it. The only way she knew how was to join NEST. It had been one of her aspirations for a long time. Michelle got in contact with the Florida branch of NEST, enlisted herself. They approved her into the organization. After a heartfelt goodbye, Michelle was sent to Verthaven to begin her training regime. It was long and hard, but Michelle fought her way through the segment until she was ready to be a NEST Agent.

Michelle choose to stay in Verthaven... having taken a liking to the city, and serve as one of its Agents. For four years, Michelle rose through the ranks until she achieved Captain. She's taken part in many operations, including keeping track of many of the Metahumans that inhabit Verthaven. Along with busting some of the worst Metahuman scumbags.

Maxine, born in Verthaven, had a pretty good childhood. She has both parents, and a good relationship with both of them. Both of them were NEST Agents that were excellent at their jobs. Yet, they had plenty of time to give Maxine that TLC that would keep her from growing up to be a sociopath. Particularly, she got especially close to her father, who was the one who had the largest impact on the large girl. They went places together, and forged the tightest bond. Maxine was sent to school where she developed an education, and gained proper social skills from interacting with other people. She wasn't anything spectacular, nor was she really interested in any hobbies. Thus, she wasn't pushed to any. Maxine grew up without any major events going down. Up until she was twelve, that is. Maxine's father went out to a mission to pursue a rouge Metahuman, and everything was going well until The Pure got involved. One thing lead to another, and a violent shootout took place, and her father was shot over seven times by Pure. The shootout lasted long enough for reinforcements from the VPD and NEST to arrive, but they were too late. Her father had bled to death (Rip). This hit the Carter family like a bag of bricks. Her mother resorted to drinking, while Maxine... she just didn't know how to react to it. She simply shut down. She grew apathetic, as her mother didn't do anything to help her. Months passed, and her apathy made her simply unaware of current events. She didn't notice that her mother had found another man in NEST known as Hank Smith, and it wasn't long until they got married.

That's when things started to go to shit.

Hank was not a good man. Not at all. While Maxine's mother seen something in him, to Maxine, the cons outweighed the pros. Hank was a violent racist, and secret member of the Iron Cross. Who used his position to abuse and terrorize non-white Metahumans all over the city without anyone batting an eyelash. He was paranoid, and feared that there was a race war coming up. Worst of all, he dragged Maxine and her mother into this. Her mother was more accepting of this, after all, she loved Hank. They tried to fill Maxine's head with racist and paranoid nonsense, which Maxine wasn't sure about. Some of her best friends are black! Along with preparing her for the "upcoming race war". He taught her how to fight, and how to shoot a gun. Two skills that stuck with her. She was conflicted, but tried her best to be understanding of everyone. Though, Hank's beliefs caused Maxine some problems. He began driving off Maxine's colored friends whenever she tried to hang out with them. Though, this was the start of a whole new problem altogether. She wanted to be their friend, screw what her stepfather thought. Maxine quickly realized what racism was, and how it was bad. That's when she started openly rebelling against her stepfather's indoctrination. That quickly caused a noticeable rift between them. That's when he decided to clamp down tighter on her, and restricting her to the best of his ability - which caused Maxine escalate things by acting even more rebellious.

Maxine pretty much became obsessed with the idea of being a rebel, and she pretty much tried too hard. She hung out with the wrong crowds, went to parties, fought people, did drugs and alcohol, and she stayed up late. Of course, she was young and reckless, and didn't know when enough was enough. Many times, she was picked up by the police and sent home. All in the name of defying her asshole stepfather, and her apathetic mother. Nothing her parents did ever changed Maxine. When she was about seventeen, the rift between them as so great that they were just about ready to throw them out, and that situation got worse one summer afternoon. Maxine brought her friends, some colored, into the house while her "parents" were off on their NEST business. They just chit-chatted a bit, and just swam the pool in their backyard. When her family came back, that's when things got heated. Her stepfather was so heated that he ordered all of them out, and even tossed threats. After they were all gone, they got into one hell of an argument. Where Maxine argued that Hank stays out of her business, Hank affirmed in his racist beliefs. Up until Maxine gave and blew him off. He smack
ed her right across the face and made her fall to the ground. Blaming her for it.

That's when Maxine did the unthinkable.

In a fit of pure anger, she threw a punch at him that was surrounded in a aura of fire and smoke. Hank was so surprised that he couldn't react in time to dodge the flaming fist. The force burned the hell out of his face, and knocked him over. Once the rage subsided, Maxine started screaming. Because her hand was on fire! Afterwards, Hank arrested Maxine for assault, and attempted to get her tossed into a prison. Maxine explained what happened (Along with Hank's racism), and telepaths confirmed that she was telling the truth. That's when NEST launched an investigation into Hank, and uncovered all the heinous acts he committed. He was quickly arrested... but, it was quickly revealed that Maxine's mother had a heavy hand in it. An inexcusable hand in it. She was arrested along with Hank. Which left Maxine parentless. She was given over to her grandparents, since they had a house in the Columbian-Heights Park. Maxine barely stayed with them. Those bad crowds I mentioned before? Maxine became pretty engrossed in them. Especially since she manifested as a Metahuman. Eventually, her friends became her family.

Maxine wanted money, and freedom. One friend of hers was a Highway Star that had access to their drugs, and another friend of hers recommended that she tries to get into Academy 12, and deal drugs from there. Which was a good idea. Maxine applied to Academy 12, and was accepted. She quickly moved there, and lived with more freedom than she ever had before. She dealt drugs to the older students (She refused to sell them to the kids). During this time, Maxine barely paid attention to the academics. To her, it was only stomping grounds to sell drugs, she spent most of her time off campus. Either in a friend's house, or in a club in the Knightdale Rows. Only thing she did pay attention to was the power training. She quickly learned that she could manipulate three different elements related to fire, and it gave her some interesting ideas for causing trouble. Selling drugs was profitable, but Maxine wanted to get enough money to get out of the city.

Maxine caught wind of the Fiends having a way to give people powers, and she just found her ticket out of the city.

Female

Olivia is a woman in her early twenties that is of medium height and weight (Five-six feet tall, and one-hundred-and-thirty pounds, respectively). Her body is well toned due to exercise and whatnot. Olivia's ways of keeping fit aren't exactly "ladylike," she omits yoga for running, sports, practicing Muay Thai, and lifting weights. These hobbies have allowed Olivia to develop a muscular, which accents her curvature. She certainly has curves on her. Her thighs are quite thick and strong from all the running, so are her calfs. Which leads to people making jokes about how she can crush a water melon in between them (Which she refuses to confirm or deny). Legs are also slightly longer than usual. Her behind, naturally, is somewhat big - she's no slouch in the chest area eiher. Her stomach region has a faint trace of abs. Arms are also toned. Though, she doesn't exactly have the bulging muscles you'd expect from a female body builder, her build is somewhat like a less buff MMA fighter.

Olivia, in terms of ethnicity is mixed between Asian, Caucasian, and South American. Her mother was Japanese and Brazilian, and her father is French. Her skin color appears to be fully Caucasian, while she looks South American in the face (Her eyes are slanted like Asians). It's quite hard to tell unless you know where to look. Olivia's hair is a short, dark-brown color. She keeps her hair cut short, and spiky. Worn very loose, it flaps wildly in the wind. Olivia's face is heart-shaped, with her face getting thinner leading up to her square chin. Her eyes are a brown color, slanted, and almond shaped. Her nose is medium-sized, and upturned, nostrils not being particularly large. Seems oddly large in contrast to her thin lips, and somewhat small mouth. Finally, her ears are medium sized, and diamond shaped. Olivia's outfit changes from day to day, but Olivia is never seen without her scarf. A green scarf with thin red stripes that she keeps wrapped around her neck.

Much like her friends, Olivia is a very adventurous human being who dedicated herself to being outgoing. Most importantly, she's taken up several sports to keep herself in space. Freerunning being one of them - assisted by her power, she can preform moves unheard of... an overprotective father had her take up a Martial art being Muay Thai. She's been doing it for almost a decade, and is pretty talented at Muay Thai. Better watch those kicks. Olivia was also a girl that loves speed. She made her parents buy her a fancy motorcycle, and she's taken up training for her. Putting that training to good use, Olivia also knows how to do some tricks, along with taking corners fast.

Olivia was born in Verthaven, California, to her father, a rather high ranking Agent of NEST, who was so busy that they wouldn't see him for months as he was transferred throughout the United States to combat Metahuman threats. However, what came with his rank was a hefty paycheck that allowed Olivia, her mother, and her three younger brothers (all triplets) to live in relative comfort in Verthaven. Olivia, right off the bat, was a wild girl who had a lot of energy in here. She had a love for speed and adventure that drove her to explore the world as she tried to find herself. Which was a problem as she grew older. She was less concerned with school, and more about where she was going to go next. She had a bit too much energy. Her father (when he was around) choose to get Olivia invested in martial arts at a young age in order to invest herself in self defense. As the world is a very dangerous place, and he wanted her to be able to defend herself, and let loose some of that spare energy. Which worked in cooling the girl down.

Up until her Metahuman ability developed when she was fifteen. She didn't even notice she was a Metahuman. She seemed to just spawn storms where ever she went. She didn't realize why, up until she got into a fight with a girl and the storm got intense. Pelting the area with heavy hail rocks. After she realized what happened, she concentrated, and dispelled the storm. Finally realizing that she was the walking storm. A test ran by NEST confirmed this, and her father was disgruntled - he didn't want his daughter (who was already troublesome enough) to get involved in the world of Metahumans. With one phone call, he arranged for Olivia to get sent to one of the Academies - Academy 218 in Alaska. Olivia didn't want to go there... but she had to. When Olivia first arrived, she greeted two girls on the way there - Jessica Rosefey and Diana Lucker - and befriended them. Even though both friends stood on different ends of the spectrum in terms of morality and personality, she managed to bring the two together and form a trio that tackled the everyday life of Academy 218.

Eventually adding Diana's younger sister, Wendy Lucker, to the mix, and they eventually formed a school team once Olivia met a boy named Justin Trevino - a boy who could shoot beams of solid energy. The two met after an arena match went wrong and Olivia injured Justin. Out of regret for her actions, she was forced by the school to him in the hospital. The two didn't get along at first, but they connected on their common grounds, and eventually became friends. A part of their life that she couldn't remove. The two eventually confessed their feelings for each other, and became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Months passed, and Olivia felt incredibly great about going to Academy 218. With her friends, she felt invincible. Of course, that had to come to an end. A supervillain called Amethyst, and her group named The Beasts of Burden attacked Academy 218 with an unknown goal. Before NEST arrived, Amethyst had killed several students. Olivia and Amethyst got into a battle outside the academy, and it was getting pretty intense until Amethyst got the upper hand on her. Intending on killing her, Justin saved her... unfortunately, giving his own life in the process. Olivia, at this point, was being carted off and was too exhausted to stay unconscious. A few hours later, and she awoke on a hospital bed, while her father and friends told her everything that happened. Olivia was overcome with rage, and wanted revenge. However, her father took her out of the Academy, and wanted to place under NEST watch in Verthaven just in case Amethyst tried again.

This filled Olivia with so much anger that she almost went insane with rage. She wanted nothing more than revenge against Amethyst for the death of her friend. The rest of her friends kept in touch with her. However, Olivia caught wind that Amethyst was in New Rivere City. Not wasting a second, Olivia decided to pursue the villain to bring her to justice for the death of her boyfriend.

... And she'd soon learn that she bit off more than she could chew.

Elemental

Olivia truly is the storm. Where ever she walks, a thunder will follow. Olivia has the power to sense, create, shape and manipulate weather. This ability is very versatile, and the elemental nature of this ability gives her a limited manipulation of weather related elements. This ability splits down in two different paths; the summoning of individual weather affects, and creating storms. In regards to the first path, she can control and summon rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, fog, and a subconscious control over temperatures, in a localized area. This might be a bit more like a control over an element. For example, Olivia can create a heavy rain storm, create a powerful blast of wind, drop the area temperature and produce snow, summon bolts of lightning, throw up a blanket of fog, and so on. Olivia also has a minor elemental control over water/ice (It has to be rain/snow), wind, and water vapors like fog. She'll also eventually gain the ability to channel electricity through her hands. They are no where near as strong as a dedicated elemental type, however. It's a very rudimentary form of control that mostly allows her to move it, she can't move a massive amount of it. This ability has a wide variety of offensive and defensive techniques, of course. Even a mobility increase, as Olivia is capable of using air currents to fly - or fling herself using strong winds. The other half of her ability is the production of storms. Olivia has the ability to blanket a wide area in a mighty, raging storm. This differs from her individual control, as it blankets a wider area in a dangerous rain, wind, thunder, or snow storm. This ability can be truly devastating on a group of enemies, and can cause much destruction. A very powerful feat - but it requires a lot more effort, and also requires that she remains stationary in one place. She can also manipulate existing storms (Intensify them, or disperse them).

Olivia's abilities aren't as monstrously strong as they appeared. Her powers (even the storms) don't go up to the scale of cities. Her individual control over the weather elements has a rather short range compared to the ability to produce larger storms. Olivia can only summon a weather affect fifteen feet of herself. Her elemental control also doesn't have the same finesse as those who specialize in an elemental, and they can effortlessly overpower her control. As for her creation of storms, there's also a certain set of weaknesses for that ability. While she can cause a large amount of destruction in an area, Olivia is the center of that storm, and it follows her. If she leaves the area and heads to another, the storm will fade away in that section, and has to start up again in another. So, say if Olivia caused a massive rainstorm to take out a horde of mooks, and she is forced to retreat, that storm will disappear, and another will start in her new location. Which means she's not good at giving chase, or could be chased off herself.

The ability also works better if she's standing still. Also, she doesn't exactly have control over the storms she creates - once she gets one going, it's fair game. Creating storms is also very exhausting, after crafting any kind of storm, she'll need lots of time to recover. In addition, she'll have a hard time fighting, and creating storms, since generating a storm is a very taxing process that requires her full attention. Now, I feel like I should cover calling down bolts of lightning because of how devastating they can be. First, Olivia can't just randomly summon a bolt of lightning on the fly. She'll need to stop, focus, and will the bolt of lightning to the target. And it's a very inaccurate process, so there's a chance she'll miss. Missing can be much worse when you consider the short range of her ability to summon weather effects. Finally, Olivia's effectiveness is dependent on whether or not she's indoors. She can't summon most of her weather effects while indoors for obvious reasons, Olivia can only control fog, wind, and control water. Though, she can affect the building with weather effects from the outside. However, she needs to be outdoors (or at least have the sky above her) to create a deadly storm.

First and foremost, Olivia has zero resistance to any weather affects she creates. Which means she can electrocute herself, freeze, or hinder her own vision in a storm. Same goes for other people, and property. Everything is collateral damage, and she's not the kind of person who'd enjoy destroying things. I should probably come up with more weaknesses, but #yolo.

Jessica Rosefey | Good | Best Friend | "It's like staring into a mirror somethings. The two of us are just so similar that's the reason why we hit it off when we first met. I'm astonished at her strength... Which is why I'm sorry that I have to leave her behind." |

Diana Lucker | Good | Friend | "My other best friend. She sure as hell loves to drink and smoke all the time. Man, every time I turn around, she got her hands on some whiskey. Though, I'm not complaining. She's a good drinking buddy." |

Wendy Lucker | Good | Friend | "Don't know her as much as Diana, she's too busy with her books, but when we do talk, she's great. We don't have a lot in common, but she's really smart, she helped me come up with stuff for my power." |

Auri herself was born into the illustrious ruling family of the White Spider Society, the many daughters and sons that eventually leads back up to the matriarch, White Arachne. Auri's mother is just one of White Arachne's many daughters, who had seduced a French-man that's quite wealthy and influential. Just to expand the Society's connections to Europe, of course. Though, this wasn't the only reason why Auri was conceived, the society's family needed to be expanded. Now, Auri herself was born in Lyon, France, and that's the city in which she was born and raised. In wealth, however, due to the Society's immense profit, Auri had everything she needed out of life. A nice mansion (Along with several others of Arachne's descendants), money, and everything else that Auri could ever want. Nor was she alone. While she had butlers and maids to tend to all of her needs and wishes, she also had contact with the rest of the society who made sure that she had the love and attention she needed. Just so she'd properly develop the social skills she needed... which she'd definitely need later on in life.

Because Auri was going to be built up to be a leader. One of many possible successors to White Arachne, Auri was trained to be one of the best. Attempting to give Auri the best social skills, leadership, and information about the world that'd be useful. However, she wasn't informed of what the Society was really about, only because she was so young. Auri didn't particularly spend a lot of time in one place. Auri was sent all over Europe, where ever her mother needed to do work for the Society. Auri found herself spending time in Germany, Britain, the Czech Republic... and more. Though, she spent most of her time within the borders of France. She actually enjoyed seeing these different nations, and they are what really helped her expand her world-views a bit, and helped her develop a sense of joy. Regardless of where she went, Auri had the Society, and it's resources, behind her.

It would be ages before she actually gets to use those Society resources. Though, the biggest change within her life was when she developed her superpowers, when she was around thirteen. Auri was asleep when she subconsciously began to transform into an insectoid form. Her lower body started taking the shape of a centipede's, and she didn't realize what had happened until she woke up the very next morning. Then she freaked out. Her mother managed to come in, and explained what happened to her - that she had manifested her Metahuman ability. It wasn't long after that she had turned back into a human girl. Her mother told her to keep this a secret, as they didn't want to attract the attention of the DGMHS. However, she encouraged the young Auri to learn and explore her ability. Which is exactly what Auri did, starting with learning about what centipedes are. She eventually learned how to transform, and explored the limits and whatnot of her new form. In which she realized that she was a behemoth in terms of strength. What was most important was that Auri learned to stop transforming.

Afterwards, Auri continued to grow and travel all throughout Europe, and kept in close contact with White Arachne. However, as Auri grew older, and more mature, she was let in on the Society's secrets, and eventually the true nature of the Society. At first she was apprehensive, but eventually came to accept them, as they were family, and started to take her place within the Society. She started out as a low level worker within the Society who managed the girls, that eventually moved up the ranks. She put those leadership skills that Arachne gave her to good use - even though she was pretty much a glorified secretary for the higher ranking. She soon made a name for herself as one of the Society's newest, and helped establish connections within Europe.

However, those connections would eventually take her to the very top of France's leadership. Specifically, the DGMHS's Director Jean-Noel Buque had become infatuated with Auri. The two pursued a romance, Auri's mother said it was only to maintain the Society's strength (And to help keep the DGMHS off them), but Auri had felt genuine attraction to him. It would have to be a secret romance as the director had a family. The two became getting physical, and they were meeting within the Society's very clubs. However, it wasn't long until that family came catching up to the Director's sexual life. An investigator within the DGMHS was sent to investigate a possible corruption within the DGMHS. An investigation that ended with the former Director on top of Auri.

There was a huge outrage, and the former Director was shamed into resigning. Finding another replacement. However, it was around this time that Auri decided to head onto a different city, as there were a few people that gave her looks in France. Auri moved onto the Society's operation within the Czech Republic, Prague in fact. However... Prague wasn't as glamorous as she once thought. The Beast showed up in Prague, and went on a rampage. Auri and the rest of the Society were caught in the middle of it. Auri was trying her best to escape, but the Beast had confronted her directly. Auri had transformed into her centipede form to gain some mobility advantage, but the Beast utterly cut her down. He tore her centipede body up into pieces with stone, and badly burned her.

Burned her so badly that she would have died if it wasn't for the coalition that was formed to battle the Beast, that Auri would have died. She was quickly given medical attention, and stabilized. However, she had received horrible wounds... and White Arachne didn't want any of her grandchildren to suffer.

Which is why they arranged to send Auri to America, they had a powerful healer in their ranks at their Baybridge branch. They managed to secure Auri an easy way into America, before she was whisked away to a strange and unfamiliar land. Which thing that they did was heal Auri, and they were about to ship her back off, before Auri declared that she wanted to spend some time in America as well. They couldn't refuse, as they gave Auri a low level managing position within the Baybridge branch within Strongriver Plaza. She began making a splash within the Society, and managing to forge connections with the various crime rings, and Metahuman regulation agencies.

All while enjoying a little bit of Baybridge.

Auri has no clue who her father is. Her mother refuses to tell her exactly who it was, but Auri theorized that he's a very powerful man within France's government (Or someone important like that). Though, she has little interest in finding out.

Auri's mother, the woman who helped forge her into a successful member of the White Spider Society. Marie-Louise is a relatively low level member of the Society compared to her brothers and sisters, but she has close ties to White Arachne, and manged to forge enough connections to form a relationship with a very powerful man in France. Auri and Marie-Louise have a very close bond as Marie-Louise made sure to help forge Auri into a healthy young woman. Right now, she's currently in the Czech Republic, accessing the damage done to the Society's operations in Prague.

White Arachne and Auri had a very distant relationship. She used to see the woman a lot when she was younger, as she was doing her best to forge Auri (and the rest of her grandchildren) into worthy successors. To Auri, White Arachne was more of a teacher, because she was so aloof towards her grandchildren that she didn't come off as a grandmother. Though, she gave Auri the wealth that she came to love so much. Nowadays, Auri barely even hears from White Arachne directly.

Auri's two aunts within Baybridge. They're the ones who oversee the West Coast branch of the White Spider Society - operating inside of Baybridge. They're currently Auri's bosses as they order her around. Auri is in debt to them as they were the ones who took her in, and got her healed, after the horrific battle of Prague.

Sonya started out in Portsmouth, England, daughter of two Businessmen that were far too busy for their own good. But, they made enough money for their daughter to live in comfort. She was sent off to school, and given a pretty good education (Nothing that'd classify her as a genius, of course). She was friendly and forthcoming enough to make plenty of friends in school. She lived life as a girl. Still, she had a bit of dissatisfaction with her life, though, she swallowed it, and went along with it. However, once she turned ten, and began puberty, that's when her life changed. As in thrown on it's own head. Sonya's body started going through a variety of mutations. It started with the ability to breathe through her skin, and started swimming better, but it eventually caused more severe mutations. Once she was twelve, the mutations had completed, and she was part woman, and part amphibian. The mutations were, of course, obvious enough to detriment her ability to go about a normal life. She couldn't go to school because everyone would bully her for being a freak, and she was even beaten to a pulp. Her parents literally had no idea what to do with her, and her education.

However, one internet search brought up the Academy Program over in America. They knew that it was probably the best for their daughter, and gathered the money to send her to America, where she immediately applied for the Academy Program. She was sent to Academy 218... in Alaska. Which was very different from the UK (Especially in the winter), but she adjusted to it. She trained with many of the students there, and learned her power inside and out with the help of the various Teachers and Students. It wasn't all that complicated to begin with, and had a easy time training with it. Learning what to do with it. Most hilariously, she learned that she could change genders and spent at least a month as as boy before she figured out how to turn back. During her time training, Sonya met a girl named Maria Costello, who was a girl made of ink (and could control and create it). They bonded, and eventually became close friends. Going on all sorts of adventures while in Academy 218. One adventure in particular began with Sonya going out during a blizzard, and ending up frozen. Fortunately, an aspect of her power allowed her to survive being frozen solid, and recover just like it was nothing. She spent a few years of her life in the Academy, as a full student, that is. She pretty lived on the Academy without leaving it, or even any contact from her parents.

It turned out that her parents had abandoned her in America due to the fact that they couldn't take that she was a Metahuman now. She was now on her own, and would have to live in America. This really shocked Sonya, and when she told Maria about it, she suggested that they two split off from the Academy, and go with a group of kids (who were similarly shunned by their parents, or horribly mutated) that were planning to leave the Academy and roam the nation. Sonya was so devastated, that she just went along with it. They took the first boatride off, and arrived in Verthaven. They quickly formed a group called the Outliers. They stole, and squatted in houses to get by. Before heading to the next location. They got into all sorts of trouble, and managed to get more people to join their side (Along with people to give them a hand, and help them couch surf). This is where Sonya became the thief she was known as. With her power, she became extra efficient at sneaking around, and stealing whatever she could. Maria also helped with her power, and the two got really close during these robberies. It was like a date! Eventually, they developed feelings for each other, and agreed that they should hook up. Both of them became very experienced with their line of work.

The Outliers eventually ended up in Mendel, Louisiana after a few years. After a botched heist pulled on the Vanguard, it was agreed that the Outliers would be absorbed into the larger Vanguard. Sonya and Maria were fine with them, since they finally got a place to stay. Using their abilities, they were scouts and spies for the Vanguard. They participated in plenty of fights, too. Along with never giving up the thievery they were known for. However, once the gang war broke out in 2005, things took a turn for the worse. Their missions got more dangerous, and Sonya and Maria immediately considered leaving. However... they were among the first of the Vanguard to be busted by NEST. NEST got both of them to confess to their crimes, and they were arrested and placed into two separate Prisons for Metahumans (Where both of them received thrashing like no other). Sentenced to two years in prison for all the crimes they committed. The lovers were split up, as they had to fight to survive in prison. It wasn't easy, since Sonya had to do plenty of fighting, but she made it out alive.

One year into her sentence and Sonya received an offer that she couldn't refuse. NEST were going to release her and Maria early, if they join the Agency. Since NEST saw potential NEST Agents in both of them, and they were going to be let out of prison for good behavior anyway. Sonya gladly accepted the offer, and was sent to Black Fall to receive basic training at their facility. Where she reunited with Maria after a year. While training there, it turned out that Sonya had quite the eye. She was pretty talented at shooting sniper rifles, far superior than the other recruits (rivaling those with enhanced aim). Her superiors took note of this, and placed her in advanced Sniping training, and Recon. All in all, Sonya spent three years training under NEST, and came out a officer, ready for action. Maria, on the other hand, simply became a rank and file NEST Agent.

Her main job was reconnaissance, mostly scoping out an area for the other NEST Agents to go in and detain the target. Other times, she assisted other NEST Agents by unloading on a target with taser rounds. However, at times, there were points where she had to preform an assassination. A Metahuman in Black Fall had transformed into a monster, and began to tear Black Fall apart. She put a bullet right through his head, and brought him down. Her first kill. She kept that in mind as she proceed through the organization. Sonya rose through the ranks with her skill alone, and got promoted for every job well done. Making a name for herself for not being an excellent scout and sniper, but a good person in general. Incidentally, she also managed to get closer and closer to her partner, Maria. They were an inseparable duo.

However, her skill got her assigned to more serious jobs. Special ops - and some NEST Black Ops. This is where her sniping talent really shined. Eventually, both Sonya and Maria were stationed in various other places in the US. Philadelphia, New York, Miami, Highroller Heights (She didn't enjoy that at all, hot dry places are Sonya's bane), Boston, and Detroit (She'll never mention that experience again). Eventually, ending up in Stadium City... apart of NEST's ongoing effort against the Tyrants. In particular, this city is where Sonya ended the most lives, and seen the most shit. In the battle against the Tyrants, she's killed plenty of dangerous Metahumans that were apart of the organization, and many Metahumans who were public dangers. However, one mission in particular seriously gotten to her. It ended badly, with several civilians, Tyrants, and NEST agents dead. Sonya herself was injured severely. Her arm was torn off, along with her receiving many broken bones, and cuts, that she wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for her power. She, for obvious reasons, won't divulge on what happened.

NEST put her on leave for awhile in order for her wounds to heal, and of course, for her to see a psychiatrist. After she healed, she spent plenty of time idly mulling about what happened. Therapists didn't help all that much. So, Sonya mostly fell on Maria for comfort about it. They hung out a lot, and tried their best to have fun (It worked!). However, the bill was passed that allowed gay marriage, and Sonya and Maria finally married in Chicago. They didn't have a lot of time to plan, or really secure anything other than a park, but it ended up being memorable for the two of them. After a few months, Sonya was ready for duty, and returned to NEST.

She and Maria were immediately sent off to the Verthaven Branch of NEST. After the attack on the Headquarters, and the revelation, they were a little shorthanded. They arrived days after the attack on the Headquarters. Sonya and Maria were the people who helped keep order among the Metahumans, and keep the Metahuman criminals in line.
