History

Betony is a third generation super hero and the fortieth great grandniece of Merlin. Her family has been practicing druidic magic in some form or another for the last eight hundred years, or about forty generations.

As the child of supers (Roan of the Valley, her mother, and Astronicus, her father) Betony got her magical start at the age of ten, early even by the family’s standards. Her parents knew of the dangers that could befall their child if one of their old foes decided to come calling, but fortunately the Chavez accord was not broken and her training was not needed until she took up heroing on her own after her sixteenth birthday. That was when she received the medallion that held her adult form disguise.

Her first super powered conflict was a big deal for Betony. Over the previous few months her mother had used her scrying gifts to determine when the most favorable conditions for her to make her first appearance were. Those turned out to be when the Citymaster was attempting his takeover of south Seattle by animating the warehouses there. She arrived on the scene to find Grande and Sun Wolf already engaging him with little success. The judicious application of some flight magic helped them put a stop to him. She encountered the team of Grande and Sun Wolf several times over the next few months before they officially invited her to join them as a member. After more scrying from her mother, she joined just in time for summer vacation.

Personality:

Betony having grown up in this lifestyle of sparring and spandex takes it very casually. She has been preparing to do this for years and is glad to finally give it a go. But she is discovering that all sorts of practice and study is not translating well into actual field experience. Sometimes it seems she knows more about her foes powers and abilities that they do. Which is so incredibly frustrating.

Relationships with team mates:

She actually looks up to Sun Wolf. Kind of like an older sister/mentor. Sun Wolf seems to be the best rounded of all their team mates which is something she wants to aspire to. She does find the Sun Wolf, Grande relationship thing a bit puzzling.

Grande is a strange man. He seems to take more time to have fun and play jokes than practice. Which seems odd to her study filled regimented life. He is a good guy though, even if he makes fun of her all of the time.

She likes Roland. And he is an invaluable resource when it comes to homework. Both are still growing up and becoming a part of the world after semi sheltered upbringings. They exchange odd insights and observations they have made about it.

She likes Crusader, but not that way. He is a good guy and is like one of those knights out of a fairy tale, stepping in and trying to save the day. He just needs to practice more. And clean out his car. And get a better job.
