"Calm down, it's not the end of the world. Unless it is. Either way, I'm here, so you can stop your whining now."
Name: Ramona Saturday/"Pyrrha of the Forge"/
Justice VermillionMagical Girl Costume:Powers: Ramona is a master of the forge- fire, steel, smoke, and sharp edges. Her power usually manifests as flaming metal blades or guns that rain molten bullets on her foe. Subtle, Ramona is not.
Dragonscale ArmorRamona is really,
really hard to hurt in her transformed state- even exposed skin is hard as steel. She's also basically fireproof.
Battle-Forged WingsYou know what wings have always needed? Jet thrusters. Ramona grows dragon wings made of flaming metal. She can also channel fire magic through them to give herself a speed boost.
Demigod of Fire and SteelRamona's bears the mantle of Ignis' divinity. She possesses good health and longevity, even as a mere human. In addition, the gift of the King in Red gives Ramona the knowledge to forge marvelous weapons, and then call them to her side whenever the need arises. Where else did you think all those swords came from? Magic? Ha.
Veins of the EarthRamona can sense metal. Particularly precious ones, or ones good for making stuff out of them. Thus, she's never in short supply of... well, supplies.
Howling BladesRamona's bread and butter; a mandala of eight molten swords manifests around her, controlled by her will. She can either use them at medium-range to slashy-stabby something, or go straight-up "Gate of Babylon" on someone and fire them as projectiles.
Roaring Dragon FangFor when the situation calls for "up close and personal." Big effing greatsword made of molten metal. Its use is obvious- crush the foe.
Hell Dragon's FlightLike Howling Blades, but with guns! Eight rifles that spit molten bullets manifest. Bring on the dakka, with added fire.
Wrath of the King in RedRamona's magnum opus: A claymore the size of an apartment building, hurled pointy-end-first at the unfortunate bastard that just pissed Ramona off this much. Get hit with this, and you're not walking away- scraped off the pavement by a street sweeper is more like it. Unfortunately, it also leaves Ramona basically bereft of magical power for a while after using it, so she better make it count.

"Here standeth the Champion of Fire and Steel! IGNITE!!"History with Justice Heart: Ramona ran away from home at the age of 14, due to, "strong differences of opinion." A few months in, she was desperate, still living on the streets, when a man by the name of Cato found her. Apparently a traveler from another world, the man offered her a "Gift," in order to give his Lord a presence in their new world. Not having anything better to do, and hoping this "Gift" could lead to a hot meal, Ramona accepted, and was marked by Ignis, god of the forge in the world he once called home. Ramona became Pyrrha of the Forge, the most
fucking metal magical girl of all time. Soon after this, she met Justice Heart.
Their relationship was... rocky, at first. Ramona's obsession with comic books and shounen manga meant that her magical girl antics came with a severe lack of restraint- because superheroes never have to worry about things like collateral damage, do they? In short, accidentally exploding potential allies tends to alienate them. As the gravity of some of her actions began to reach her, and her desperation to belong to the group increased, Ramona was forced to learn the greatest and most difficult of lessons: restraint. Not by much, but she wasn't knocking down buildings left and right anymore. Little by little, she got to be friends with Justice Heart, and eventually allies, culminating in helping her new family banish the Dollmaster into oblivion. Ramona had finally achieved her dream: to be an awesome protagonist, a hero!
History after Justice Heart: ...And then some idiot just had to get knocked up.
As this incident, among others, began to chip away at their group dynamic, Ramona was forced to watch as her new family slowly began to tear itself apart. While she tried to stay in contact with her friends, eventually the pain of watching the group destroy itself got to be too painful, and she struck out on her own. It wasn't easy at first- her marketable skills were all better suited to a life in the Middle Ages, and selling too much gold had a tendency to draw uncomfortable questions from certain authorities. But she managed to find her niche when she discovered that certain nerds were willing to pay a lot of money for some fancy sword from their favorite book or show or whatever.
Nowadays, Ramona is in high demand among fantasy circles, who commission her to smith (supposedly) decorative weapons for them. Heck, she even found love. Twice, in fact. Her girlfriends, Katja and Izzy, help her make her fancy nerd stuff, and keep her grounded when she's being particularly manic. Unbeknownst to anyone else, however, Ramona occasionally still moonlights as Pyrrha, hunting down the occasional monster or bank robber or whatever. But above all else, she longs for the glory days of her youth, when she and the rest of Justice Heart were in their prime...
...She never did like the name "Justice Vermillion," though.
Relationships:Katja Volk and Isabel "Izzy" Santorini- "My girlfriends. Yes, girlfriends, plural. Calm your titties. Katja's some kinda Amazon, and Izzy is a punk rock kinda chick with bitchin' blue hair. They help me with my commissions from time to time, but they're the mostly the ones who keep me sane."Cato- "The guy who gave me Ignis' mark. Some kinda priest in their old world. He's utterly forgettable in his human guise, very Clark Kent. Aside from the glowing eyes, anyway. Haven't seen him since the Big Guy went missing. Wish I knew where he was."The King in Red, Master of Fire and Steel, Lord Ignis- "The Boss. He marked me with his Gift, gave me powers, turned me into the literal spitfire that I am now. Apparently he used to be a god in his old world, or something. His true form is some kinda robot dragon or something. I haven't heard his voice in years; not since we put Dollmaster Katherine into a bottomless hole in the universe. But I know he's out there somewhere."Justice Heart- TBD
