She more or less always looks ready to hit the beach, wearing a short sleeved shirt or a tank top, and then usually some denim capris. They like to accessorize with bracelets and wears their hair down, although on occasion she'll put it into braids to keep it out of her eyes. She tends to wear soft colors, like light blue or pastels, and they almost always wear a necklace with the water tribe symbol from Avatar on it.

They are very positive, upbeat, and lively - which often translates to them going on and on without any end in sight, which can tend to grow old quickly for certain people. She's very passionate about the things she cares in and hyper fixates on them, learning all of the information there is to know - for example, she's very interested in the environmental, particularly the ocean, and has often talked [i]at[/i] her mother for hours at a time about it. This drive has caused them to pretty much go through school effortlessly, as they're the sort of person who reads textbooks and Wikipedia pages in their spare time (at the beach though, of course). But at the same time, they are [i]incredibly[/i] competitive, always needing to come out on top and have the last word. They are very judgmental of other people, often making snap decisions about them and going to any lengths she has to in order to persuade other people to hold the same viewpoint that she does. It isn't enough for her to be right, she needs other people to recognize her as right. This also tends to drive them towards being a bit dramatic, blowing things out of proportion (mostly unconsciously, although on occasion they'll do it intentionally).

Their school had done a science field trip to the zoo. April had been admiring the hippos when the class bully had come on over and shoved April backwards. The bully's goons were jeering and laughing at them, and April saw red. The next thing she knew, the bullies had been doused with the water from the hippo tank and flung about twenty feet backwards. Needless to say, the school called her parents to come and get them. [b][color=42A9FF]General History:[/color][/b] April was born to Agent Bonnie Chase and Agent Freddie Flynn in spring 2022 at a SHIELD medical facility. Her mother had retired from active duty, transitioning into a lab based role at SHIELD. Their father was an active duty Operations agent, as well as a long lost son of the mutant terrorist, Magneto. By the time April was about five years old, her mother had been promoted to Director of Medical Sciences at SHIELD, so the family moved to Washington D.C. Their childhood growing up in the DC area was fairly normal, with occasional trips to Canada to visit her grandparents. April really liked being an only child - or at least, from what she remembers they did. When she was very little, her mother gave birth to her younger sister and only sibling, Zelda. April didn't like Zelda at first, finding her loud and stinky - but once Zelda wasn't a baby anymore, April actually liked having someone around her own age to play with. Unfortunately, the sisters never became particularly close, as they had the opposite personality types and interests. April was very extroverted, whereas Zelda was very introverted. Given that her parents were both working for SHIELD, April always wanted to save the world. She wasn't interested in wearing a costume though and fighting villains - they more wanted to save the Great Barrier Reef and stop corporations from polluting the waters. Her favorite comic book character naturally was Poison Ivy. She finished middle school and her mother recommended her for the Margaret Carter Academy, and April started taking as many courses in environmental science as she could. She really loves their school and dreams of saving the ocean and the planet. And of course, April has a burning ambition to unseat the Young Avengers in the Contest of Champions before they graduate - and be elected Prom Queen and Class President and make Valedictorian too. [b][color=42A9FF]Proposed Arcs:[/color][/b] [list][*]April is very ambitious when it comes to things she wants to achieve, but they don't have a real sense of herself quite yet. They haven't really figured out who April is yet. What makes her happy? Does she actually want all the things she thinks she does? I'd love for her to explore their own identity - she isn't quite out yet as a lesbian, only having just started to really comes to term with that. They also have yet to really explore their gender identity, and I would like her to get to a place - preferably within the first arc or so - where she realizes she's a demigirl. I especially think it would be neat to see how they handle the intersections of her identities - what does it mean to be a mutant and queer? [*]Less serious, but I would love for her to get turned into a mermaid somehow. It would be very funny.
