Charlotte Powers
Charlotte Powers has spent the first fifteen years of her life in the nicest prison imaginable; her family’s secret volcano base. She has super-strength like her father, super-agility like her mother, and phase-shifting like her older brother – not QUITE as strong as any of them, but still, the sheer variety must count for something. She can lift the heaviest couch (although she needs to use BOTH arms to do so), she can run up walls and flip off them spectacularly (although not nearly as super-awesomely as her mother can), and if she doesn’t feel like running up walls she can go out-of-phase and walk through them instead (when she doesn’t just fall through the floor because she wasn’t concentrating or got distracted by an errant thought about a potential Awesome Superhero Name). She’s also half-cursed to tell the truth; her mother was hit with the full-strength curse while she was pregnant with Charlotte, and apparently that’s how curse rules work. Still, every superhero needs a flaw, and ‘mandatory honesty’ isn’t such a bad one.
All in all she has a good life – but that’s not the problem. The problem is that the world needs heroes, that even if there aren’t any supervillains there are PLENTY of regular villains, and Charlotte knows she’s the girl to sort them out. So she’s busting out of her pleasant prison and heading into the real world, exchanging the safety and comfort of her family’s secret volcano base for the excitement and adventure of school – because before she can start properly superheroing she needs to establish a Public Identity, and what better place to do that than a nice normal school? Even if she has to hide her powers in order to fit in, Charlotte’s POSITIVE that she’ll make simply LOADS of friends and be SUPER popular…
But ‘nice’ and ‘normal’ are two adjectives that don’t really apply to ANY school, and especially not to Emerald Hill Academy – and ‘hiding her powers’ is going to be a lot easier than Charlotte thought…
