Name: Heather Wolfe
Mutant/Code Name: Seraph
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Species: Mutant
Ranking/Position: At Risk/Wanderer/Freelancer
Loyalties: Neutral/Anti-Military
Description:
Seraph is a tall--almost 6 feet tall. She has somewhat dark skin that, along with her black hair and icy green-blue eyes, give her an exotic look. She has coarse hair that has the tendency to stick up at odd angles, and a thick Australian accent that matches her rugged looks. Her thin mouth is almost always turned up in a smirk, and with her long legs and muscular torso she is considered very athletic in build. She has a very straight nose, thin eyebrows, and symmetrical features that give her a somewhat sinister look, which, paired with her sometimes too blunt personality, sometimes makes her come across as harsh. She has one black tattoo on her left arm that is mostly just a spire-type shape. She usually doesn't talk about what it means if she's asked.
Abilities/Talents:
Seraph has the ability to turn energy forces away from her--in other words, mutants' powers are reflected back at them or others around if they try to use them on her, or if she is shot at the bullets can't penetrate the energy field that she has around her body. It also has the power to negate other mutants' abilities (like if a shapeshifter gets too close to her energy field he/she would lose her/his taken form). The big problem with her power is that it also has something of a force of its own, and it often lashes out at the people around her. That is why Seraph prefers to be alone--to avoid making friends and hurting them in the end.
Personality:
Seraph is a blunt, hardheaded woman with a dry sense of humor. She can be clever, but also rash, and her hotblooded nature often gets her into trouble. She is not afraid of violence, and thinks that people who are half-hearted in anything they do are pretty despicable. Seraph is very open about her opinions, so if she doesn't like you, she's not going to tell you otherwise. At the same time, she is relatively forgiving and a very moral person. She doesn't kill if she can help it, and prefers to see things objectively whenever possible.
History:
Heather Wolfe was born into a rural Australian tribe. The tribe was very traditional, despite living in a "modernized" culture, and when they learned of Heather's strange abilities they began to think her blessed with some kind of "magic." But Heather, knowing that in the modern world there were answers to her strange "abilities," sought out and gained a scholarship to a university to study science. She wanted to learn about her powers and, if she could, how they had come about in the first place.
At university, Heather found herself less and less satisfied with the scholastic approach to things. She saw that people feared what they did not understand more than those who understood magic. So Heather turned to studying the occult, wanting to find some answers to the question of how she became the way she was. It was during this period in her life that she became a Christian, finding that she found the answers she wanted in her studies of that faith. She retained much of her demeanor, but became strangely content with her situations in a way she was not before.
And then it happened: Heather's abilities were discovered by one of her fellow students, and they turned her into the military. The Australian military took a quite different approach to mutants than the Americans, and they set her up to be executed--to permanently eliminate the problem. But Heather managed to escape, and she boarded a ship bound for America, hoping to find more opportunity to live and let live in the "land of the free."
But how she was mistaken. Heather found no refuge in America. The anti-mutant sentiment was strong. Only in one of the churches did Heather find someone who was willing to listen to her. A pastor named Mark Strong guided her through her struggles and gave her hope, despite the dismal direction her life had taken. Heather's presence put the church in danger, though, so she began traveling and searching for her purpose. It was during this time that she managed to save a young mutant from being taken off to the military bases for "experimentation." And it was then that she realized her calling: to protect innocents from the people who were persecuting them. She was sure that God had given her the powers He had for a purpose: to allow her to stop the military from its evil course. At the same time she did not want to overthrow the government. So Heather took the name "Seraph," merely as a symbol of her choice to protect God's children in any way she could. She kept that alias, and has managed to remain out of the military's path for the past seven years or so.
