[b]Powers: [/b]
The ability to shrink down to microscopic size, and the ability to shift her weight so even at (for example) six inches tall she can have weight and strength as though she were her normal size. Can also shift her weight so that she can float on air currents and travel along cell-phone signals. When she shrinks her default height (for lack of a better term) is six inches.

She is mortal. She can be hurt like an ordinary person, but with her shrinking something that may not be a threat to a normal sized person becomes a threat to her. For example, getting cornered by a cat.

[b]Skills: [/b]
Rhiannon is a biologist which makes her quite skilled in science. To make sure that she knew how to defend her self, her father Edwin had Rhiannon take up boxing lessons so she knows how to throw a punch.

[b]BRIEF Bio: [/b]
 Rhiannon Palmer was born and raised in Metropolis. Her father Edwin was the QB for the Metropolis Stallions, a four time Super Bowl Champion and four time league MVP while her mother Alice was an author. In Metropolis the family was royalty and life was a sweet as it could get for Rhiannon. However Rhiannon hated the limelight and didn't like that people wanted to get to know her because of who her family was and not who she was. Although she shunned the limelight and longed for privacy Rhiannon loved her parents and had a good home life. When she graduated high-school Rhiannon went to Gotham City University so she could make her name on her terms. Rhiannon graduated with her PHD in molecular biology and was hired by the CDC and was sent to work their facility in Central City. 

A meteorite pulsating with unknown and unparalleled energy crashed outside of Central City and the CDC was called to investigate. Rhiannon was the lead investigator and she ordered the meteorite to be taken to their facility. Once it arrived the meteorite was placed in a secured room under the highest security protocols for testing where Rhiannon would conduct the opening tests alone. As they were getting ready to run their tests there was a power surge that managed to knock the security measures off line. Unfortunately the main door locked trapping Rhiannon in the room with the meteorite and when the protective shielding collapsed it exposed her to the full energy for over five minutes. Even in her isolation suit there was no promises that Rhiannon wasn't going to be affected somehow. The crew managed to finally retrieve the unconscious Rhiannon and get her to the isolation ward.

After two weeks in isolation and a seemingly endless array of tests being run it was determined that Rhiannon was unaffected. One day while she was cleaning her apartment when she noticed an earring had fallen under her dresser. Rhiannon concentrated on trying to reach the earring, and then suddenly she noticed the earring was getting closer and bigger. The next thing Rhiannon knew the earring was the size of small hill. Rhiannon at first was terrified to find that she had shrunk and was wondering if it was permanent. Rhiannon concentrated and returned to normal size. She went down to the CDC and ran some more in-depth tests in herself. Rhiannon discovered that the energy from the meteorite had mutated her pituitary gland. It was a gradual process and on such a small scale that the original tests missed it. 

Rhiannon kept this discovery to herself but knew she had been given these powers for a reason and decided it was time to use them to make a difference. She stayed many late nights at the CDC "borrowing" certain materials to make her costume. Rhiannon decided to leave the CDC because she didn't want to stay too much longer in case questions would be raised.

Rhiannon moved to Gotham where she is currently a Professor at Gotham City University. She has a name picked out for her crime fighting alter-ego; "The Atom."

[b]Additional Notes:[/b]
Rhiannon is an introvert but does have a sarcastic wit about her. When she becomes The Atom she feels like she can do or say anything because she feels her mask empowers her to just let down a lot of her inhabitations. Rhiannon was pregnant in college, but was in a car accident which caused her to lose her baby. [/hider]
