Mina has the milky complexion of her mother, who had some Elvish blood in her, and the big, bright eyes that give the Everbright family their name. Hers are blue and liquid like the morning skies above Sunrise. Mina is well-built, having grown up at the forge: she's slender but toned, and her face is often darkened by soot and grime as she emerges gleaming with sweat from the hot forge. Her hair is a burnt red like the coals at the edges of the fire, but seems to glow in the warmth of the forge light. Mina dresses rather simply, eschewing the fancy dress of more well-to-do commoners and townsfolk. She prefers simple, rugged garments that won't easily spoil, though she usually has little time to give to the thought of dressing up. Often as not she can be found wearing her blacksmith's apron and leg armor, wiping sweat from her forehead with the back of her forearm. Personality Mina is upbeat, fiercely devoted, and a strong believer in the freedom of all living things. She's endlessly curious, especially about the world outside the forge, and can be a little reckless in satisfying that curiosity, usually in defiance of her father. Despite chafing at the rules he set for her, Mina is highly protective of others and more than willing to be their shield against dark times and malevolent forces. She loves art and nature and music, beautiful things, though she considers herself too rough to be a part of these things. As with many young women, her heart desires to see the world and to find those who need her light the most. Although respectful of her father's wishes, Mina feels the call to adventure.... History Daughter of Mayhew Everbright, scion of a long generation of Everbright blacksmiths, Mina eagerly studies all she can of her craft. As the only blacksmiths in town, the Everbrights are not lacking in work, but Mina's sights often stray further afield. She desires to search the ruins north of town to find forgotten works and reforge them, learn their secrets, work the metals of distant lands. Mayhew wants his daughter to stay firmly focused on the simple tasks set before them by the demands of Sunrise townsfolk. He dislikes magic and the idea of forging magical works, but never explains why. Mina, by contrast, has read stories of legendary forgings of old and desires to one day beat myth into metal.

Enemies • Hera, Queen of the Gods has turned her ire against Helena's father against Helena herself. Medea and Hades also have grudges against her father. Relationships • Her mother, Georgia Giannopoulo, and father, Hercules. Temper • Like her father, Helena can be prone to fits of temper. History Helena is the daughter of Hercules, Greek God of Strength, and the mortal woman Georgia Giannopoulo, a museum curator specializing in Greco-Roman artifacts. The fact of her divine heritage was never once kept secret from the young woman, who began showing signs of divine gifts shortly after birth. Growing up, she heard time and again stories of her father's daring exploits, from her mother and the man himself, and the thrilling adventures instilled heroic dreams in Helena. Sadly, this was just about the only desire of Helena's that her parents refused to indulge, and indeed, outright forbade her from acting on. As Helena grew older, her parents warned her of the severity of the consequences should she violate this tenet. As is often the case with parental forbiddance, while done with the best intentions, it often has the opposite effect than is desired, and Helena's desire only grew stronger with time. When it came time for her to enter college, it was an easy choice with her grades being more than adequate, and the university boasting one of the most impressive archaeology courses on the West Coast, she chose Emerald City University and moved to the city. What Helena Doesn't Know Hercules swore an oath on the River Styx to refrain from interfering in the affairs of the Olympians and they, in turn, would not interfere in his life. Basically, a divinely reinforced MAD agreement, that keeps (mostly) Hera off his back and constantly dropping curses on his head (or his family). However, the wording of it essentially means that Helena's new involvement in heroics violated this oath. And oaths on the River Styx are Very Serious Business (tm), and to break one is a Very Big Deal (tm). Personality Helena is very similar to her father in many respects. She is large and gregarious and an absolute people person who is more than comfortable at the center of attention. However, despite this and her strong sense of ego, she is still a kind person who would rather help others than step on them. She's always more than happy to accept a new challenge, and always gracious in victory. Well. Usually gracious, and she apologizes afterwards. Powers & Abilities Helena is a demigoddess, the daughter of Hercules. This lineage has granted her incredible might and durability, and her descent from Zeus has gifted her abilities beyond even those her father can claim, including flight and the ability to manifest lightning. At this stage, Helena's full abilities and powers have not yet matured or been explored, so it's possible that she might manifest abilities beyond even what she's shown up to this point. Image Gallery POV Fiction - Catching the Bus Helena strolled through the Yellow Brick Row, her mind abuzz with thoughts. Her body literally sparked with energy if she wasn’t careful, and despite her best efforts, a few passers-by experienced the skin-tingling reaction to static electricity as they interacted with door handles and cell phones. She felt like she could levitate right off the ground. In fact, she was having trouble keeping that from happening as she perused the window displays set out to entice new visitors to the stores lining the Row. A few centimeters of clearance was the most she’d risen before she caught herself and she found herself wanting something to call her to action. Sadly, life kept on as normal. Which, truth be told, wasn’t all that bad, especially lately. Her grades hadn’t suffered over the semester. The weather was fair enough. The move to Emerald City had afforded her the space to finally start doing just a little more with her abilities, things her parents would have been in strict disapproval of, if they had been informed. Still, it wasn’t like she was being careless or putting anyone in danger with it. Helena sighed, brushing a strand of hair out her face, a small frown creasing her forehead. She knew it was wrong, but the smallest portion of her wanted something, anything, to happen. That wasn’t how a hero was supposed to think, hoping someone needed saving. No, that wasn’t the duty of the hero. A hero was a savior, a protector of the peace and tranquility that comprised the majority of most people’s lives. As boring as that was. The scream that shattered the halcyon murmur of the Row, throwing her mental wanderings into disarray nearly made her miss the very thing she had been looking for. As soon as her wits began to avail themselves to her once again, the scene was readily available to access. An intersection packed with pedestrians, all frozen in place watching the out-of-control bus careening down the hill towards them. Only seconds remaining before disaster and tragedy struck. The situation could hardly be more clear cut, practically laid out in tableaux. To those perceptive enough, the second scream was accompanied by an almost imperceptible cracking sound. Other evidence to the origin of the sound was the perfect chevroned imprint of a size 9 Chuck Taylor All-Star left in the concrete of the sidewalk. Helena fought the grin back as she stepped, skipped, and lifted into the air, rising over the heads of the onlookers in her path. Catching back up to the runaway bus was easy work. The trail of chaos left in its wake was more than sufficient to follow and she was much faster than most civilian operated vehicles. People moved, scattering ahead of the rogue transport, clearing a path for the bus, and luckily Helena as well, as she darted forward. Flashing forward, past the windows separating pale faces from hers, she slid around in front of the vehicle and gingerly placed her hands against the grill. She touched down gently, exerting more and more pressure against the bus as she attempted to slow the out of control transport without flipping it over her head or sending it skittering even more out of control. The grill warped around her hands as she fought with the powerful motor, setting her shoulder into the bus as she pushed back with more force. Slowly, and then with more and more definitiveness, the bus slowed, motor and tires screaming. With a bang, the engine failed, dark smoke billowing out of the paneling housing it. The affair had overheated the engine under the strain of the uncontrolled acceleration. The sound of grinding metal mixed with the smell of burning rubber and leaking oil. The front two tires had burst from the excessive friction the trip down had generated. Helena slowly let go of the grip she had enacted against the metal of grillwork, warped and twisted from the pressure she had exerted. She blew a strand of hair out her face again as she stepped back and watched the passengers of the bus disembark, guided by the shaken but unharmed driver. A mother and her young daughter come down the steps of the bus and move out onto the street. The mother’s expression is one of terror and confusion, combined with disbelieving relief at the unexpected rescue. The daughter’s is one of wonderment and disbelief, mouth agape as she stares at Helena, eyes goggling. The grin returned to her face as she winked at the small girl and, holding a finger to her lips, lifted into air again and flew up into the sunlight as the sound of sirens grew louder.
