Cinderheart

Came out of the Collapse with a temper, a body count, and a recovery-relapse cycle the tabloids never let go of. The tabloids call Cinderheart the cautionary tale. Cinderheart keeps saving the city anyway. Likes the team fine. Worries hard about whichever one reminds them of who they used to be — and says so, out loud, more than once.

Appearance: A costume scorched at the hems and singed along one sleeve, ember-orange accents over deep charcoal; tired eyes ringed with faint old burn scars, a controlled, banked-fire kind of stillness.
