"Because she's not an amazing student Aitana's participation in the exchange program is mostly dependant on her mandatory joining of the Meadowview volleyball team. " Most high schools require a student to have good grades in order to stay on the volleyball teams. Perhaps Volleyball could be her reason for having barely-passing grades? The threat of being kicked off the team might be enough for her to take her studies more seriously, if for a small amount of time. ;D

Her "Athlete" virtue strikes me as being a hobby instead of a virtue, while her 'Goofing Off' hobby could easily be worked into a virtue. I suggest you switch these around, as "Athlete" stresses what she likes to do, and "Goofing Off" is all about her attitude towards life when she's not doing anything physical that requires her concentration.

Does her apathy apply only to other people? What about when she's playing volleyball -- will she care for her teammates and watch out for them during the game, or is she the sort who will tell someone who just skimmed their knee to go suck it up and go sit on the bench for being a sissy?

With her abilities, I REALLY like how you've used the competitive nature of trees as a basis for her attacks. <3 When it shields her allies, does it shield them individually? Or does it become as wide as needed to shield them? Can she move when she's channeling the energy? Or does she just steal the energy and apply the shield to her allies?

I place my vote for "Your growth has been stunted" or "Your growth is about to be stunted" as a challenge, just because of how it ties into her first attack. <3

Her super attack needs to be a power-up of the first attack. While the method of "borrowing" energy is still in place, her super attack needs to be about her shielding her allies with a stronger shield OR her super attack needs to be changed so that she gains a power boost.

I agree that 100-150 feet IS pretty high. Perhaps consider the idea of tricking someone into thinking they're falling from that heigh while they only fall a short distance? Keep in mind that battles tend to take place on Destiny City, so falling from 100-150 feet and onto concrete might result in a huge splat! without branches/trees/bushes to break your fall. xD

I'd like to have a rough estimate of exactly what you mean by "a great height," personally. 7-12 feet (one or two stories) could work.

Remember that Christopher Reeve became quadriplegic after he fell, and that was just off of a horse! You may want to incorporate tree branches/limbs into her eternal attack, just to help break the terminal velocity of the fall.

As well as to give people bruises on their way down. 8D

Thanks for the help Maru!! Ammended the powers a bit, getting ready to head out and run errands, but I'll tackle all the rest of the info later this afternoon. :3

Moved stuff around, will have to give it another read through after work to make sure it isn't totally jumbled though XD

@ grades - When I put that I hadn't meant like a failing student, just a skin of her teeth C. I've clarified that now. :3 I know that certain grades are required for playing sports, the only reason I mentioned it was because I know they tend to favor high grades in exchange students, so the fact that she gets by with just C's would be reliant on the fact that she can help them compete. I know that happens in college atleast, I assume it might come up in highschool now and then.

@ teammates - She can work in teams and feels a vague bond of kinship when she's teamed up with people for tasks. It's a team member's job to protect and strengthen their team members in her eyes. I see her as being more lenient and umm.. compassionate with teamates but in the end her apathy will always win out. So I could see her actually throwing praise at someone, or trying to comfort them initially. But if, for example, said teammate continued to complain or gimp around on their scrapped knee she'd definately give them her mind.

I added an idea for 1b. I consider it defensive still, but if it's still seen as 'too different' then I'll probably just go with a more dense and thick (stronger) shield.

Tough cookie -- According to this, she takes a "get over it" approach to life and doesn't linger on situations for long. However, "If she reacts emotionally at all to a situation it tends to be more along the tomboyish lines of irritation or anger rather than being flustered." Is joy and mirth not an emotion, then? You may want to work her Laid back virtue into this one so that they can co-exist together. Also, virtues are all about mental/personality traits -- being physically tough doesn't count as a virtue, and might be best included in her Atheletism hobby.

Rough around the edges mentions that it's "both physically and emotionally," but the flaw itself has a clearer mention of the physical aspect than the emotional. How is she rough on someone's feelings? An example of being apathetic or trying to impose her "get over it" mantra onto someone would work nicely here. Better yet, you could also tie in her Lacks social graces flaw here too, to make her seen even rougher!

Does Aitana lack social graces because she's a tomboy and foreigner, or because she honestly doesn't care what other people think or how they view her?

How does the Apathetic flaw work with her Laid back virtue? Why does she goof off "with guys or other similarly carefree people" when she's a disconnected rebel with no empathy for others?

Finally, with her super attack... It has to either be a shield for her allies, or a "shield-prison" for her opponents. It seems too diverse/disjointed for me to view it as a power-up? Also, with her "Canopy Cover," how can it shield only allies when it appears as a wall? Juno should be able to technically take cover behind this "wall" too. ;3 Also, about roughly how much energy does she take from her opponents?
Let's say a teammate can use their ability up to three times a battle/day. Would using her ability make it possible for that teammate to only use their ability two times, providing they haven't attacked yet? What if they used up their "abilities" for the day -- if she used the attack, would it make her allies unable to walk until they regained their breath? Or knock them unconscious?

Made some small changes to the bio and stuff, hopefully they help. :3

Changed up the attack info so they should hopefully be cohesive enough to work.

Think you're good - but attackwise, you sure you want to use "energy stealing" in the sense of stealing someone's ability to do their own attack once? XD I'm asking mainly because many of the senshi in play have attacks that are one-use only, so there's a high chance of taking away her allies' ability to attack at all. As a possible alternative she could cut into physical endurance instead, e.g. having a canopy put over an ally tires them out a bit?

I was under the impression that most senshi had about 2-3 shots with their attack so to speak (I really hadn't been paying attention to arrivals in the past months) when I went about setting up my stuff. So you're quite right, I don't want to totally screw them out of their attack all together, my mistake! A mild endurance cut and winding is a perfectly good alternative, I'll go switch it to that.

Thanks for the help :3

*edit* I changed the part that specified 1 attack to this:
(it takes a bit of their endurance, enough to make them a little tired or winded, but not enough to cripple them unless already fatigued)

If I need a more specific way to state that just let me know and I'll see what I can do. :3
