Name: Lenelle Horace AKA Vesperwing, has been known as other 'wing' names such as Darkwing and Duskwing before deciding on this

Gender: Female, she/her, straight

Age/DOB: Currently around 35 / originally created in 1988 and was a teenager then

Origin: Super Earth, moved to Paragon / Primal Earth, and now Twoarth

Family: Father Deceased, see below; mother died more recently; has an uncle and grandfather that both show somewhat similar power sets - though grampa never got over the taunts and racist horrors that his 'dark as tar' powers brought in the early 1920s...

Other: With the heroics department at CHS having some interesting folks... She is, in fact, interested in a few. One in particular, though 'he's a furry!' well yes, and she's a mutant so they're even. Rocky Ramrod is indeed a ram-Kin but is very much the superhero; they have a daughter named Betshiba or 'Betsy', who carries on their legacy up in Talon City

Height: 5'8"; Build: muscular and strong looking, her bones are not hollow so it's possible that she has some other form of power going on that helps her fly; very curvy, nicely padded, but that's all muscle under it...

Hair: Afro curled and kept short but often either left natural, or done in box braids; rarely longer than shown; the white stripe in her hair appears normally but she uses some amount of power to dye it black

Eyes: light golden brown, usually with bright green shadow over them

Appearance: dark brown skin with a red tint, she is a very attractive woman, with strong features, thick lips and broad nose. Her wings turn darker with power use, but they did show up brilliantly white before that aspect of her powers grew stronger. They are full flight wings, and she has mastered hovering and tricks, speed dives, and the like, but does prefer not to go breakneck or too fancy. Her powers appear around her as a dark, thick tarry aura that is manipulated with physical motion as well as just acting on her mental impulses, but usually you can see it clumping and swaying around herself almost like dye being diluted in a jar. She has a low, fairly deep voice, which is commanding when she needs it to be, but she also has a bright laugh. She prefers sleeveless outfits that can be cut or worn as halter tops because her wings are joined from shoulder to rib cage level. Her wings do not 'vanish' nor fold down much more than as if they're a cloak, but holding them either up or down won't wear her out it's all natural muscularity at work. She chooses to go barefoot most of the time, though this is just preference not fashion.

Abilities/Skills: though listed as 'water blast' the effect of her powers is obviously 'tarry' but can be quickly sprayed, heated and cooled, and set to cover a very wide area or pinpointed to a person. It thickens and congeals quickly, into an obsidian-hard casing though this doesn't last particularly against boss-level enemies. It can wrap around feet and legs, or confine arms and render the enemies unable to walk or attack. This also can obscure and confuse, which she uses to conceal herself before enemies can react.

Duties: As a Handler for the Mutant population of the group, as well as a go-between for young gang avoidance work, Lenelle is responsible for keeping her eye on schools and the neighborhoods around them. She makes appearances at those schools, as well as having a side-gig on the west coast (of Twoarth)

Resides: Suite 2 in the SACCADE base structure, with Teegan the Phoenix Queen as her housemate; her place is themed with heavy Japanese tea-house influence, including a kitchen and dining area suitable for large buffet-style eating. There is a moving waterway in this location, with the structure built over and around it, visible through glass panels under the floor, and accessable with the central sauna and bathing as well as a rocky waterfall in the middle of the first floor. The upper floor is dedicated living space and a balcony.

Personality: Intense and strong willed, but also extremely careful about what she says, does, or how she portrays herself around others. Particularly keen on making sure that others don't have to go through the same things she did as a kid or teen, she feels comfortable opening up to people who have obviously got things that might turn ugly in their own life.

History: Though she grew up in another large east-coast metropolis, she moved to Paragon City as below, and completed her heroic studies and teaching degrees there. She was hired by SACCADE fairly early on in her training, though she also acted as a go-between for a time with Blackwell's services and the supergroup. She later (technically once reaching level 50) was noticing activity on the west coast, and has since begun working at Carramba High in their Heroics department as well as their student counselor roles.

Careful In Every Situation +3 observant and methodical, Lenelle is one that you want running the security room, or watching your back in a new situation. Always assessing the location first, including the sounds, smells, and overall 'vibe' of a spot, and then attending to the people or beings there. If the vibe is off, she remains cloaked, communicating quietly with her team or outside help. But when things look like they need immediate interruption she will be right up there and you will know she's on your side. This does include in 'everyday' settings as well as heroic ones, since sometimes you don't want to be in the same supermarket aisle as that Retro with a mad-on for mutants...

Makes The Right Entrance +3 when you do notice her it's not because you're so very perceptive. It's because she absolutely does have that much control over her own abilities that her cloaking aura covers not just her winged shape, but those around her, blending in with the scenery even in a fairly bright room. Uncloaking as a surprise, or as an artistic entry point to a conversation alike, she is very much in command over this ability (all related skills +3 to their use for defensive purposes)

Skills

Heroic Navigation +3 from above, things do look a lot different, and while she's not the flight or stealth instructor specifically, she is often called upon for student training days and escorts young fliers through their testing or competitions. She can teach a kid how to recognize landmarks both above and street level, how to manage small aircraft, or even how to handle aerial combat when needed

Heroic Red Tape +3 and on the ground she can navigate offices, paperwork, understand legal issues, and connect to the right people to get new heroes off their bench and into the teams they deserve! Since she does come to her heroism from the depths of despair but not revenge, she knows how to look up laws, find offices that practice what they preach, and will come to court as both an expert witness and as a comfortable supporter alike

Heroic Hide And Seek +3 watching her (with special stealth-piercing equipment perhaps) as she's flying in and out of a combat situation is impressive. She does have a lot of range to her tar throwing but is not above getting right up in an enemy's face and Air Superiority-ing them into a pile on the ground (an overhead attack that stuns enemies even in mid-flight). Though she isn't the fastest nor the strongest of any given team, however, she always seems to be 'somewhere new' every time you look

Knacks

Is The Helper +5 ...that Mr Frogger's Neigh Boar Hood always wanted you to look for in emergencies. Lenelle has always wished that someone could have stopped the gang attack, or pulled the car off her dad, or enforced the laws that might have ... either way, Lenelle is there now, and can spot troubled kids a mile away. She will extend her hand to give a boost, mantle her wings to protect, and shroud in thick silent darkness when everything is overwhelming, and always knows which tactic to use

Does Still Have Trauma +/-2 Having seen it in the mirror, knowing that look in the eye of a kid that has an abusive family, or who bullies because they were never comfortable in their own skin, or the distinct smell or tattoo of a gang member, she is able to arrange meetings in a non-confrontational way. But that also means she's almost always looking for those signs. Sometimes she does have to second-guess herself, usually at the start of any school semester with new kids in her classes, but once she knows what's what and who's who, she won't make mistakes or assumptions
