Usually wearing some jeans and a white shirt with a frilled collar when not in her hero costume. [/indent] [color=chartreuse][b]|[u] {Equipment and Personal Belongings} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Helena has a cellphone with her at all times, along with a satchel bag filled with snacks, drinks and study materials.[/indent] [color=chartreuse][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]A student of molecular chemistry, she’s a good study with a keen memory. Helena is only relatively physically fit, doing just enough exercise to keep her from getting winded running for a bus.[/indent] [color=chartreuse][b]|[u] {Superpowers} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Helena’s power is control over the primary elements of greek philosophy, Fire, Water, Air and Earth. As in greek philosophy these elements can be combined and mixed at different amounts to create new forms, and again as with the philosophical teachings, these powers are more easily controlled and attuned with strong feelings of love and strife.[/indent] [color=chartreuse][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Her physical limitations are those of an average human, her current level of physical fitness is about average for a person that does light cardio. Elemental control requires materials of the desired “element” in the vicinity to be used, Fire being a minor exception as it instead relies on the existence of flammable content in the air rather than physical fire being present, though natural fire can also be controlled. Elemental control has a low level of backlash relative to Helena’s output, flinging rocks or metal around can cause bruising, for example. Anything that would be considered an advanced use of her abilities requires muscle memory and memorization of the quantity of each element used to exacting specification. Helena has been very focused on her studies and withdrawn until the dawn of her powers, leaving her relatively disconnected from most people and unused to dealing with them for lengths of time.[/indent] [hr] [color=chartreuse][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]An earnest and diligent student, Helena has a positive outlook on her newfound powers and the opportunity they present to give the world the kind of hero she loved growing up. Her positivity carries through most of her life, giving her a cheery focus on anything that catches her interest, that said she is easily flustered when confronting something she hasn’t rehearsed beforehand and can quickly become embarrassed by her own mistakes and errors. [/indent] [color=chartreuse][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Born in Sparta, Greece. Helena’s youth was spent growing up there with her family before her parents made the decision to move to the States, wanting to give her a strong education and instilling the need for learning into her.[/indent] [color=chartreuse][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Helena’s life started out as a very normal one, growing up with her family in Sparta and having her parents' affection and care raising her through her childhood. Days were spent studying to keep up with her parents' hopes for her, or watching cartoons and shows on tv with her cousins. At the age of 9 her parents decided to move their small family away to look for a better education for their only child in America, ending up in a small Greek community in Keystone where her father worked as a chef. Knowing that her parents had moved for her benefit, Helena’s focus became her education as a result leading to her succeeding through constant effort where she would have otherwise failed, this would lead to her making it into Central City University and an internship at STAR labs after taking a couple of years to go back to Greece and live with family that they’d left behind. The recent developments leading to her becoming a meta human have given her pause about continuing to brute force her way through her education, and drawn her along a new path following the heroines of her youth, an avid fan of the magical girl genre growing up she styles herself in their image and pushes to match their manners of heroism.
