Biography:Up until the age of 16 Florence was an average highschool student. Then, one bad day she's got herself in a life or death situation and her "trigger" event happened.
She and her friends hung out in an old and abandoned building outside of town. Being fond of such places, they had quite a night, drinking and having themselves a little party, until they found out that the house wasn't really abandoned. How you ask? Well the owner got in. A pretty huge bloke. A villain of an unknown name, well they didn't ask, and he didn't really tell. His powers happened to be of regenerative kind. He could amass and control immensely big amounts of living tissue - muscles, bones, skin, etc. Man was outraged at some drunk teenagers in a middle of his house, a secret hideout apparently.
He quickly decided to leave no witness, and that was what killed him. Closest to him was Florence, and so he went for killing her. He haven't even had time to understand what a mistake he made.
In Florence's mind something switched at the exact moment he tried to attack. Had he decided to go for one of her friends - she might've had more of a traditional "trigger", never understanding her true nature, but he didn't. He went for Florence. Miss Harper lost control of her body, and some other entity took it. Entity was called "Experiment 11, mental program designed for pre-mature cape protection".
It revealed many things to her. First was - she was never born to begin with. Created by the one with a similar powers. Second - she was a part of experiment. An experiment to evaluate performance of a normal human as compared to a mental constructs of any nature designed specifically for a task. Her parents were not real, just dummies with fake memories, created by hand just like her.
Florence transformed into a hulking beast in a fraction of a second. Next thing she was holding an enemy for a brief moment with her big tiger-like jaws, and then she felt it. The sensation of assimilating other person. Devouring everything he was. His power, his mind, his body. It became hers, and he was no more. It was painful, incredibly painful in fact, but the pain was nothing compared to that cognitive sensation.
Right after that, Florence completely regained control over her body. Her friends were nowhere to be seen. She decided to go seek hero training and help, in order to find who it was that created her. Miss Harper decided to go by the handle "Chimera", and to not use her powers again.
Note: PRT know nothing neither of "Experiment 11" nor of her ability to snap powers of other capes. What they know is that she is capable of destroying living things, while taking their properties. That was what she described her powers to be. They also know of her reluctance to use such powers. There was only one experiment resolving around Chimera eating a waterbear, but even that caused some mental trauma.
Personality:She is basically a highschool freak. Nice and friendly one, likes to hang out in abandoned buildings, was noted for talents in biology, likes to show off a lot, and pretty free-spirited overall.
Residence:Lives at PRT.
Parental status:Foster parents.
Costume:Beast form
Power:Ability to transform into a hulking beast, capable of devouring everything that is alive and assuming any of it's properties, be it powers, body capabilities or parts. Chimera lacks experience regarding her power to assimilate life, and does not want to get any. She can't be precise with it, needs a touch range, preferably with her teeth, and does it slowly, causing damage in process.
Experiment 11, however, is a pinnacle of what this power can do. On it's own, without any additional superpower, it has an ability to assimilate enemy in one piece at an incredible rate, or, if an enemy is to hefty, to do so with it's individual parts, including Corona Pollentia. Armor can pull some stops on it, but it has to be airtight, since E11 can expertly find a weak spot.
Power range:Touch, self.
Power safeguards:Incredible regenerative capabilities.
