[INDENT][h3]Character Concept[/h3][hr]
[color=999999][i]Family, a one letter word that has multiple meanings to different people. Some might say it means blood is thicker than water. Others will say it means someone that will always have your back. But for Ava it meant something else entirely, something even more dire than the two before, for her it’s about legacy. Who better to carry that burden of that legacy than herself? Her brother, Hector, was always the light of her life growing up, the perfect role model. And why wouldn’t he be when he was the first ever Latino superhero? It was already a crowning achievement to become a superhero but an entirely different weight to be anything other than white in the current political climate of the 1960’s. All publicity was not good publicity though as both terror and tragedy had befallen not just him but her entire family. Few grade schoolers come home to the massacred remains of their families by anti-hero militants, even less to survive their own attack by the same hand. 

Years passed without the white tiger mantle being taken up and those years led to the discovery of her brother’s death. Eventually, the tiger amulet would find its way to her niece and then finally to Ava herself. The obsession with her brother’s legacy and her need to make it her birthright, Ava took up the power of the amulet and dawned the costume that would make her the new white tiger. In a time period so hectic she sets out on her new career in hopes of mastering the amulet and picking up where her brother left off.

[color=gray]The story for Ava here is to pursue and explore her culture and the way it is being seen in the current time period. Not only her culture but the culture surrounding the source of her powers, the jade amulet. While she has convened with the Tiger Spirit, she has yet to attach herself to either K’un-Lun itself or the several masters to have been produced from said place such as Daniel Rand. She of course will be looking to avenger her family’s death by pursuing and killing Mace Gideon without the intervention of the Avengers, but perhaps a new organization or force she associates with will prevent her from doing so.
