Appearance: Lexi and Dani are what are known as mirror-image twins. That means that they share the same height and weight (5’6” and 96 lbs), body structure (thin), long, curly hair (pale brown), and eye color (vivid green). The only difference in the appearance physically is that Lexi’s hair naturally splits on the left, while Dani’s naturally splits on the right.
(Costume): Due to the fact that the twins have only been at crimefighting for a little while, their costumes are very basic, consisting of long jackets over top of regular street clothes, which differ every time, and a mask to hide their eyes. Both of them wear a hoodie underneath the jackets to help keep them warm and to use the hoods to conceal their identity, but actual colors and even type of hoodie differ from time to time.
Name: Alexandra (Lexi) Joline Cervantes
Alias: Zephyr
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Power(s): Air Manipulation
Limits/Weaknesses: Lexi's powers are pretty straightforward. As one might expect, moving larger amounts of air or moving air faster or even just moving air for a long period of time can leave her exhausted, which is why she practices to develop endurance. At the moment, it is also impossible for her to completely eliminate air from an area, as the pressure difference overwhelms her strength. She can get close enough to leave a foe lightheaded, but she can't go much further than that. This also means that she can't suck the air out of a person's lungs, as that would be creating a vacuum. For similar reasons, controlling air during a storm is a lot harder than when there is a uniform pressure.
Equipment: Two boomerangs and her cell phone
Personality: While Dani and Lexi share many of the same personality traits, such as their love for fun, their kindness, and their hesitance around others, there are some noticeable differences in the way that they act. Dani happens to be more assertive and defensive, while Lexi tends to be a little quieter and more timid. Likewise, Dani hates it when things change on her, showing that she’s a little more rigid. Lexi, on the other hand, is more flexible and can more easily adapt to certain situations without a problem.
History: The twins’ lives were perfectly normal until they were about the age of twelve, which is when their powers began to manifest. Incidentally, the really didn’t cause any major damage or anything, just bursts of wind rushing through the house or tremors shaking the rafters. For fear that the house was going to come crashing down around them, they moved from their country-style home to a smaller urban house outside of the city. Needless to say, the twins were a little depressed over having been separated from their friends, which is why the number of tremors and drafts through the new house was lower than the old.
Though their lives returned to what was considered normal after a while in their new house, the twins seemed to have had a hard time with the move, failing to make as many friends as they had had before and becoming even closer to one another. Needless to say, the tremors and drafts did increase a bit as they became more accustomed to their surroundings, but not to the same degree as before. And, apart from a few times at school where their emotions got the best of them, there was never really anything that was clear evidence for their powers.
In fact, it wasn’t until their home was invaded in a robbery attempt while their parents were out on a date that they realized that they had powers. The goons had assumed that the house was empty, reacting to the presence of the two girls sitting on the couch eating popcorn and watching a movie about as expected. They demanded that the two stay exactly where they were, one of the burglars standing watch with his weapon while the other went to look around. Dani, as defensive of Lexi as ever, tried to take the burglar when he wasn’t looking, though she failed rather miserably. The burglar, deciding that it wasn’t worth it, pointed the gun at her and prepared to shoot. Out of nowhere, the window in the room shattered as a gust of wind came in and wrapped the crook up, depositing him on his head and leaving him unconscious.
The other burglar heard the commotion and came down to investigate, his gun trained on Lexi as he tried to process what had happened. Before he could shoot, however, the jar of colored glass that the family kept on the shelf above the television whipped towards his head and knocked him unconscious as well. It was then that they called the police, who arrived shortly and took the criminals away. Though neither of the two girls could explain exactly what had happened, afraid that no one would believe them, the police chalked it up to trauma from the event and left it at that.
Incidentally, that was the really last abnormal thing to happen to them until they graduated from high school, when they decided that they should use the powers that they had learned of and had been practicing to help people. Knowing that their parents wouldn’t approve of such a life, the twins told them that they would be moving into the city and attending university, though they left out the part that it would be an online university. While they may not have been the best of heroes, they were managing to make a difference, as crime in the city did drop a bit. Not to mention the fact that they got an invitation to the rumored Alliance, which meant that they had to have been attracting attention.
Other: Dani and Lexi tended to enjoy a lot of the same things growing up, like food and hobbies. Some of the hobbies they enjoy are dancing, art, Scouting, and taekwondo. Essentially, anything that they could do together was grounds for something that they enjoyed doing, though there are some differences. Dani enjoys pottery and sculpting more than Lexi, for instance, who prefers drawing and painting. These slight differences are also seen in the foods and drinks that they prefer. Lexi’s favorite drink is Vanilla Coke and she prefers sweets, while Dani’s favorite drink is Cherry Coke and she prefers sour food. Incidentally, their favorite food is the same: chicken alfredo with mushrooms.

Name: Danielle (Dani) Elise Cervantes
Alias: Gaia
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Power(s): Earth Manipulation
Limits/Weaknesses: Dani's power over earth grows stronger the closer it is to a native form. For that reason, manipulating stones and sand is a lot easier than manipulating metal and glass, though she can do it. Also, the heavier the material or the larger the material, the harder it is for her manipulate and the more it drains her. It is also difficult for her to condense material into smaller sizes, as that increases density or changes the material's composition. Still, her powers are pretty straightforward like her sister's.
Equipment: Brass knuckles, several pouches of sand, glass shards, small rocks, and metal shavings, and her cell phone
