Age: 27
Codename: California, Steel fist
Role on team: CQC Specialist and Recon
Appearance: Short chestnut colored hair that is feathered and slightly layered, reaching just to the base of her neck. Pixie-like face shape; soft angles. Her eyes are a bright ice blue. She has a healthy pale skin she inherited from her mother. There is a scar going from her waist up to the back of her shoulder, healed perfectly but leaving a very white line to mark it.

Bio: The adopted daughter of a Veteran SHIELD agent, Cooper was trained from an early age to serve her country. She mastered Krav Maga at the age of 13, became a skilled rock climber and started getting better scores than her father at the shooting range. She also saw the movie District B13, inspiring her to learn Parkour. Enlisting in the Marine Corps, she passed through no problem, graduating top of her class, receiving E-3 Lance Corporal rank. She served mostly in Asia, fighting local warlords. She eventually became a member of Force Recon, becoming a Captain and leading several missions to high risk areas. Her cspabilities and masterful han-to-hand combat earned her a position in the counter-terrorism S.T.R.I K.E unit and later one amongst the new generation of Super Soldiers of Project:Rebirth....
Personality: Cooper is happiest when the mission objective it completed and her teammates are safe on the transport, heading home. She also enjoys the periods of rest just as much as deploying for missions, watching the stars, or simply observing other Supersoldiers. She is capable of psychological torture if necessary but detests physical torture. Though hard to irritate or annoy, excessive bragging, disregard for orders, and the killing of children can rile her after a long duration of it. Despite that, she has an extremely high level of patience due to her profession. She is confident of her abilities and knowledge in the areas required for the missions, does not care for physical beauty and thinks of herself as average in that respect. (She is simply pretty, not gorgeous.) Overall, she is a calm, patient, observant, and kind, yet can be brutally severe while remaining calm, woman with a slight protective streak to her teammates even if they dislike her.
Weapon/skills: CQC, Urban Warfare. Skilled knife fighter. Recon Ops. Fluent in Cantonese, the 'southern' version of Chinese, French, Russian and Greek. Her signature weapon is a pair of specialised spiked gauntlets.
Other: Never touches alcohol. Despite this, she does have a bartenders license and knows how to mix drinks. Collect various knives, including: Daggers, Dirks, Balisongs, Karambits, Bolos, Machetes, Trench Knives and throwing knives. Her collection rivals the NRA's firearms collection. Amateur tinkerer. She also fused a pair of Rothco goggles with thermal googles.
