Name: Danielle Heron, Superhero Name: Valkyrie Age: 19 Description/Appearance: Danielle stands at around 5’9’’ in height, with a slim and athletic build that verges on being too skinny, the legacy of years of ballet and martial arts. Her skin is pale, the skin of one who is incapable of tanning, instead burning when she spends too long in the sun. Her hair is black and comes down to halfway down her shoulderblades – for the sake of convenience, she usually wears it in a simple braid to keep it out of her face. Her eyes are an emerald green in colour and she has a light dusting of freckles over her nose. A tattoo of a lizard winds around her left ankle and a scar runs down her right arm, from her shoulder to her wrist Her parents were both English, so she speaks with an English accent. She usually wears black clothing of some description. Personality: Sarcastic and cynical, she uses this as a mask to prevent people getting too close to her. Loyal to those she cares about, though those are far and few between. Doesn't trust easily, adept at holding grudges. Rather quirky nature sometimes, making comments rather innapropriate to the situation. Hates lying, though she will if she needs to, but prefers to tell half-truths, or misdirections. Powers: Electricity Manipulation: Danielle can generate electricity from her body to wield as a weapon without harming herself, or manipulate electricity already existent in the environment - call lightning from the skies, cause powercuts, that kind of thing. Instinctive Fighting: This power enables Danielle to master any type of fighting (martial art or weaponry) exceedingly quickly. Increased Physical Abilities: Means she has increased speed, stamina, strength, reflexes and senses.
Weapons/Equipment: Due to her power, she generally carries several different types of weaponry with her - a katana that she generally wears sheathed and strapped to her back, several daggers hidden around her body as well as throwing knives. She prefers to stick with older styles of weaponry, but also carries a plasma pistol. She also owns a hoverboard for transport.
Background: Danielle used to live an ordinary life in one of the Domes with her parents, twin brother and older brother, until one day some other kids dared them to go outside the dome - Dani was 13. Outside, they got caught up in a conflict between the OAC and AoJ. Her twin brother was killed by a badly aimed shot from the AoJ member, and when the OAC member noticed her and the remaining brother, he turned his attention towards them - that would be when Danielle discovered her power, accidentally incinerating him with lightning before he could hurt them; she had been born with her powers but never knew she had them, never having had reason to call upon them before.
She returned to the Dome just once, to say goodbye to her family and gather some of her belongings before she left. She spent the next six years travelling and exploring the limits of her powers, refusing to join either side as she had no love for either of them.
