Born into a mirror universe where heroes are villains and villains are heroes, the heroine '''Ember''' found a chance to be more than a guerrilla fighting a hopeless war when she was unexpectedly transported to our world.

==Background/Timeline==
Ember, born Deidra Doyle, was unknowingly of a line of innate magic users. Sadly the line had grown very weak and she was the first one with any talent in a very long time. Her parents, while aware of it, tried to get their daughter to hide her abilities from the various Villains that had a stranglehold on her world. She was happy enough growing up in the city of Fargo, North Dakota. Surprisingly, no great tragedy befell her family directly; it would be something else that would turn the young teenager from simply someone on the side-lines of the world.

It came innocently enough - her father who worked for a large company was transferred to their operations in Vancouver, Canada. They were only there for a year or two, but it would be a changing point for the young homo-magus. Like most cities on this earth they were choked with crime and corruption, but not completely at least. The Syndicate didn't come this way too often away from their normal stomping ground. Lackeys and lesser associates, yes, but still as a major port the city was still a haven for crime.

In this, Deidra often kept from getting too far from home outside of school or any other related activities. However, there was a local beat cop who - as far as police went in this world - was honest. He'd not look the other way when people were getting hurt and generally did his job. He was also involved with the community somewhat, getting to know the people on his beat. His name was Rork McGinty, and one day he caught Deidra disobeying her parents and attempting to use her abilities in an old abandoned lot. 

He confronted her but didn't berate her, he perhaps encouraged her to at least learn to control her powers so no one got hurt. It always made her wonder with Officer McGinty; he always did try to help people, and about a year after the met? A super-villain made the way into the city and Officer McGinty confronted them to protect a young couple. Deidra never was told the identity of the villain. Officer McGinty lived, but the couple was saved however he suffered grievous injuries which ended his carrier as a police officer. However Deidra was crushed. She also realized had someone with powers like her been there to stand up to this person, it may not have happened. She visited him once or twice and he only regretted he couldn't do more.

She made a fateful choice for herself, her family moved again and several more times over the next several years. She'd taken to training to better use her powers. She first learned to control her flames, then flight. The negative energy powers were not discovered until her first night attempting to patrol for trouble. When attacked, she instinctively drained enough energy from the hood to make him pass out, and she continued to make use of this power. However she never was in one place for long with her family's moving.

Still, in the end she realized her family was at risk because of her, and at the age of eighteen she left home. Leaving a note to her parents explaining why and what she was doing. She doesn't know their response, but hopes on some level they are proud of her. 

She survived by doing odd jobs and moving from one city to another fairly frequently. She didn't like leaving people behind, but she could never stay in any place for too long out of fear for attracting bigger fish than she could handle. She also took to seeking out lairs of fallen heroes and villains to make use of whatever might be left behind. This would one day lead her into her current situation. In the hideout of a fallen magic-using hero by the name of Missile Mage, she found a pair of intact tomes, one of which was on warding and protection spells.

She took it to her own lair of the time and was working to cast the ritual to better hide her presence when something went wrong. She doesn't know if the tome was trapped, she messed up, or something greater meddled with the spell. What she does know is she woke up on the streets of an alternate Metropolis (alternate to her at least). She was now in a strange world where everything she knew was wrong.

==Personality==
Defiant - Ember is in many ways a defiant person. Few took the path to face those that terrorized her world. It's not a long-lived path normally. She is trying to defy the odds and those far more powerful than her by fighting back a little. This also leaves her prone to holding her ground unless she's hit with proof that she's wrong, which she can't refute. But this can also leave her not backing down in bad situations when all might seem lost.

Playful - Even with how rough her life's been, she's surprisingly still playful; prone to bad jokes and the odd pranks with friends. Given her magic this can make some of her pranks interesting and perhaps annoying to friends but the intent is always to try to get them to laugh. Even if it's after the fact. She's also prone to ribbing or teasing her friends.

Cheerful - Ember generally seems to be in a good mood, all things considered. With how her life's been she'll try to find the best in a situation or will often just generally seem chipper. At least she tries to be so, someone can not be so all of the time after all.

Curious - She was always eager to learn more about the world and her own powers. Also seeking out what past heroes did, to maybe learn what they did right. Also to learn what they did wrong. This has guided her to be curious about the new world she's in and start to explore its mysteries.

Protecting the Weak - She's not perfect, she knows this, but she's got a very large issue with people who use their abilities be they super powers, a postilion or any other such means to oppress and try to have their way with other people. She's very prone to protecting others even its not the best tactical choice at the time.
