She however has a bit lower body fat percentage than is usual for her size and age, as she spends a lot of her time either training in martial arts or swimming. Her skin is on the darker side, and she has a bunch of smaller scars from falling a bit too often for her linking. The girl's face is angular, with prominent cheekbones and pointy chin. Her eyes seem to always have a glitter of mischievousness in them, as if she intended to pull the rug from under you or put a whoopie cushion on your seat at any moment. She cuts her hair short and styles it into a wave, dying it blue. Her wardrobe is a bit boyish, preferring garments with utility such as cargo pants, hiking boots and a vest full of pockets. There is always at least one swiss army knife on her, and usually a couple of snacks and a first aid kit. Despite being fit, she usually slouches in her seat or leans against the wall. [b][color=00aeef]Personality:[/color][/b] Extrovert - Cheeky - Mischievous - Playful - Energetic - Protective - Helpful - Stubborn - Stingy [b][color=00aeef]History:[/color][/b] Nike's mother is a first generation Greek immigrant. Her father was an unknown, who ditched her mother after a one night stand. She did not live in Angel Grove for most of her life, only relocating there for high school. This was caused by an unhappy situation in her family. Her mother took her situation hard, suffering another failed marriage after Nike’s father, albeit with a divorce that left them financially secure. Eventually, she succumbed to alcoholism, which led to Nike being neglected at first and abused later. As such, Nike decided to spend as much time as she could away from the house. Her situation is better now that she makes a bit of her own money serving juice and cleaning at a juice bar by the school grounds, as well as being more than able to stand up to her eternally drunk mother, and on weekends she spends her time outdoors either practicing martial arts to ensure no one hurts her ever again, or just enjoying the outdoors, hinking, parkouring or swimming. During one of her runs across the rooftops, she misjudged a jump and plummeted down several stories. She realized this was where her life would end. As she rapidly approached the ground, she cursed the heavens that she would end broken in a side alley next to a dumpster, wowing she would do anything for a different fate, before her vision went completely white. An entity talked to her, telling her of a danger coming to Earth, and made a pact with her: Her life, for becoming a protector of Earth. After Nike accepted, the voice, her patron, revealed himself to be Zeus, the Olympian god of Thunder. Returning her consciousness to her body and setting her safely on the ground, Zeus bestowed a portion of his power to Nike and tasked her to find other heros, as only together will they be able to repel the threat.

The armor plates are silver in color with blue outline, having the sheen of polished metal. The fabric of the robes is rather on the heavier side, with inverse colors - blue with silver trim.
