Personality:
Stephanie is a typical Aussie larrikin, speaking in a manner many believe to be rude or informal. She isn't a fan of sitting around doing nothing, always having to be on the move. She cares little for rules that don't suit her needs at the time, more than happy to bend or outright disregard them if a situation calls for it. Her rowdy, outgoing nature can be offputting at first, as can her thicccc Australian accent and usage of local colloquial terms making her seem incomprehensible at times.
However, if one can get past the somewhat aggressive, but not hostile, first impressions, they'll find her to be a passionate girl with a reckless streak and hunger for thrills, which she satisfies either by fighting or other means. She cares little for her outward appearance, favoring comfort over what's in fashion and will shamelessly walk around in just shorts and singlet.
Her pet hate, however, is to be treated like a girl, or what that would imply. She hates the idea of people thinking she's weak or needs to be protected, all because of the fact she wasn't born a guy. This combined with her hot-headedness and recklessness has landed her in hot water on more than one occasion with the principal.
Unlike others in the top ten, she doesn't look down on others depending on rank or quirk, letting their actions and behaviors be her judge on whether to like a person or not.
Sun for all
Solar Power: Emitter, Accumulation Type Quirk
Effect: Stephanie operates effectively as a walking solar panel and battery rolled into one. Her skin absorbs the sunlight around her, turning it into potential energy that she stores within her own body for later use. Using this energy storage, she is capable of enhancing her physical abilities, to a level comparable with Captain America, and can condense them into 'sunbeams', aka laser-like attacks of varying size depending on the amount of charge allocated. She is also capable of glowing/making a bright flash, allowing her to light up dark or dimly lit areas. She is noticeably stronger while exposed to sunlight, meaning she's weaker when fighting indoors or at night, however.
The downsides, of course, include that she cannot charge her quirk at night, meaning she needs to do all her charging during the day or risk running out. Another is that she can overheat or burn herself if she overdoes things, or overcharges herself. Also when low on charge, her usual outgoing, and boisterous nature is greatly diminished as well, as she enters her 'power saver mode'.
History:
Born into a large family, Stephanie is one of 13 children and the only girl. Having grown up with 12 older and younger brothers meant she took more to masculine rather than feminine things easier, more than happy to rough-house, get dirty or simply getting into trouble. When her quirk first manifested, however, she almost burned down her family home by magnifying sunrays through her fingers, like playing with a magnifying glass....but 10x more potent. She continued to mess around with her powers, even using it against her siblings when they rough-housed till eventually, they stopped wanting to play with their 'cheating' sister.
She first got a taste for fighting however when she first started attending school, gaining a reputation for a trouble-maker and initiator of many a fight. In her first fight, defending another girl from some bullies, she knocked a kid flat out cold...the rush of taking on their angry friends one by one, dodging punches, kicks, quirks...rumours go that she beat all ten of them up single-handedly, a grin on her face all the while not taking a single hit. Her reputation only grew as she did too, however not a single kid who she beat up had the courage to get her expelled for fear of retaliation.
Eventually, she started growing bored of beating up schoolyard bullies and weaklings and turned to the streets. Picking off muggers and the like gave her a taste of what adults could dish up....which ultimately disappointed her. Her brothers too had disappointing quirks and abilities, so they were a waste of her time. She even joined some underground fighting ring...but she too grew bored of that rather quickly. Once again, small fry was found and beaten. She needed something more challenging, something better.
So the chance to join New Heights Academy, become a hero and fight villains for the sake of the world? Well, she was already on the plane there before anyone could explain the details to her.
Exam Report: Stephanie breezed through the exam, for the most part, destroying robots for fun and collecting the odd ribbon along the way, though she seemed to rather fight for the ribbons than outright take them. The main thing that held her back from a higher mark, however, was her...over the top way of fighting the robots. She dealt as much damage to the exam area as all of the robots combined, hitting both target and supposed allies alike in her no-nonsense, no punches held attacks, her reckless nature endangering others and dropping her ranking as a result. Also as the exam wore on, her power seemed to drop off as her charge got lower and lower.
