female | 29 | upstart | former model, gang member | cara Maria Sorbello
Physical Description:
Cara is a stunning beauty with a punk rock kick your ass fashion style. 5'5" with brown eyes and black hair with red and blue highlights. Cara prefers to be seen in black leather but when alone wears flowing gowns and blouses. She occasionally sports a nose ring and eyebrow piercing. Her tongue is also pierced.
Personality Demeanor:
Cara is very gentle in her heart. She pretends to be tough around other people. Cara doesn't like it when her friends are being bullied and can turn into a little scrapper in defense of her friends or when a man is out of line with a girl. What she really wants is love.
Mutation:
Fire Form: Cara can transform her body in fire, giving her flights, fast reflexes and can even shoot fire streams from her body. When she is on fire, she is immune to fire damage and can fly at supersonic speeds. Her natural reflexes are super quick too allowing her to react to things around her faster than normal humans. Her fire blasts are long streams of fire and she can shoot multiple bolts at once.
Flaws:
Cara's fire burns everything except her. She almost always stays flying when on fire to avoid burning the ground below her. Luckily her fire form is blurry so people can't see that her clothes have burned too. Cara is very sensitive and responds irrationally to a lot of things.
Hobbies & Aptitudes:
Cara used to be a model so she is very big into fashion and can strike a pose. When she joined the gang Cara learned useful street fighting skills and lock picking techniques too.
History:
All Cara Sorbello ever wanted was a better life to live in the light of privileged society. She grew up in a run down area of L.A., the last child of four in an impoverished family. Her parents did the best they could, but life was full of hardships. She hated working like a dog for scraps. Everything was hard. Cara was smart though. Smart enough to know she had to get out and that only way to do that was to become someone else. When her mutant abilities appeared at age 15, she saw it as a ticket out of poverty. Recreating herself, Cara became a model at the tender age of 16.
One night, her long, beautiful blonde hair sizzled with fire and erupted into the air. The crowd exploded in cheers as if this were just part of the show and remarkably, Cara showed no surprise or panic at this transformation. Like a young lady destined for the spotlight, she continued on with the show which received rave reviews due to her fiery performance. Her career was over along with the new life she had created. The next day she ran away and avoided the MRA discovering her. She joined a gang with aspirations of fame and fortune in the mob. She quickly found herself too clever for her street-rat associates and too independent to be just another cog in a big organization. Calling herself Firefly, Cara went independent. As she grew in experience and raw power, the Firefly began to earn contracts from the criminal underworld, and build a reputation. Six years later, she was a notable player.
Recently, Firefly was once again reminded of her station in life. When some of the members of her old gang came to her for help, Firefly was pulled into business with a Mexican drug cartel. Her old gang had ended up reluctantly working for the cartel and desperately needed out. They promised Cara that if she helped them out, they would get out of town and leave her be. Cara agreed to help the people who she started her criminal career with. While attempting to rescue the remaining members of the gang and fight off the violent cartel, Firefly saw a new purpose in her life. Perhaps fighting for others was what she should be doing. Perhaps the life of a superhero was her destiny and path to a better life. Just then, the Avenger Ms Marvel arrived with the purpose of ending the cartel and all of their associates on the West Coast. Through misconception and guilt be association, Firefly and Ms Marvel were pitted against each other. The Avenger won the fight and Cara fled from the West Coast and the law. She ended up in Salem center, looking for a place to hide out. She ended up living at the House of M boarding house and has been learning a lot about how humans treat mutants.
Time and time again, Cara has struggled and fought tooth-and-nail to improve herself and make a better life. Every time Cara has tasted that better life, she looses it - torn away from the light and slammed back down into the dark gritty underbelly of society where she came from.
