Amber Blackwood

Her standoffish and frankly bitchy attitude stems from some severe bullying as a kid. Her only safety was with her friend Ray who she pushed away after the death of her mother. She doesn’t like to get too close to people (further than a shallow level). She discovered her powers in 6th grade. Her mom was severely abusive both emotionally and physically. One day she got fed up and while she was being beaten just wished that no one would ever touch her again and her mother would get sick and die. Then when the next punch didn’t come she opened her eyes and saw her mother laying on the ground before her covered in necrotic pustules. When she tried to do something to help she accidentally gave her mother a severe seizure instead and killed her. Her father hates her now and sent her away to live with her rich cousin whom she is very close to. Her cousin realized her potential and once he found the New Haven Hero Program he signed her up immediately. Amber knows she’s a danger to society and not a hero like her cousin thinks she is. She is constantly tempted by the dark side of her that enjoyed taking revenge on her mother. But she is also determined to show she is not an evil monster that her dad thinks she is. She finds it easier to keep people at a comfortable distance because then she can’t hurt them and they can’t hurt her.
