Background/History:
Penelope Ermadine Griswald grew up in a well-to-do New Hampshire neighborhood. She is the only daughter of a renowned, high-society couple, Mr. and Mrs. Osmund Griswald. Penelope's older, rebellious brother, Edmund, was disowned recently, so she is now the only heir to an immense fortune.
Popular in high school, Penelope was the captain of the cheerleading squad and was a definite shoe-in for home-coming queen... that is, until a rival moved into the area and made her school life a living hell. Georgia Rindquist was her name, and the newcomer wanted everything that Penelope had- and set out to make it so. First, Georgia, a computer wiz, framed Penelope for cheating on a her history final which resulted in Penelope getting kicked off the cheerleading squad... then Georgia moved in on Penelope's boyfriend, Donald P. Carlton III, captain of the football team. All of her old friends were so quick to judge Penelope and soon she was ostracized completely.
Devastated, Penelope decided to end her misery. She went to the roof of the highest building in the city... she would jump off and it would be all over. Looking over the edge, it suddenly occured to her that she wasn't afraid of the long, long drop. Taking this as a good sign, she stepped off and began to fall. About two-thirds of the way down, Penelope realized she wanted to live! As the ground rushed toward her and the adrenaline kicked in, Penelope's mutant genes were activated and the wind rushed in to gently glide her safely to the ground. She intuitively knew that somehow she had controlled the air around her.
After this revelation, Penelope eshewed her old life, finishing school via expensive home tutoring. She practiced with her newfound powers at night when no one could see her swooping and gliding, and blasting the highest treetops for target practice. Having everything she could possibly need in life, Penelope decided to use her powers for good and to help others.
Personality/Motivation:
Penelope is 18 years old. She earned her highschool diploma through home schooling. She is now taking a few courses through a local community college, even though her parents could put her in any school she wishes, but she doesn't want to get too tied down because it will interfere with her crime-fighting.
Where once she was non-chalant, flighty and shallow, Penelope is now head-strong and serious. She views the world through very different eyes than she did a few short years ago. She wants to think the best about everyone but she has trust issues.
Penelope has a strong urge to protect the victims who have suffered injustice like she did. She values honesty above all other virtues... and she has caught no less than 26 jumpers since she started patrolling, most of whom were profoundly grateful that she did.
Additionally, she has been keeping a close eye on Georgia Rindquist, as Penelope is convinced that Georgia will blossom into a villain some day.
Powers/Tactics:
Sky-High's tactics are to fly up high into the air, set up a Wind Buffer (FF) around her and Air Blast her enemies. She uses her Wind Tunnel and Wall of Air to protect herself or others against various attacks. She has no sense of group tactics at this stage in the game, but is willing to learn, once she gets past her trust issues.
Future Powers Ideas: TK w/ Fine manipulation & Missile Deflection/Reflection
Campaign Use:
Sky-High can either be a solo hero, or part of a high-powered city-based hero group.
Appearance:
Ht: 5' 9"
Wt: 128 lbs
Penelope is tall and thin, almost waif-like, yet she has the right build and good looks to be a model. She has large, brown eyes flecked with amber, and long blonde hair that flies up on the slightest breeze like gossamer strands. She skin is flawless and in spite of her many hours in the sun, never gets more than lightly tanned.
Her costume is pink with white trim and her calf-high boots are white.
Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... Just finished reading The Da Vinci Code. Again. For the second time. Ok, It's a quick read. Should be a movie within a year or two, me thinks. Mags
