"Wrong or not, I'll follow my own path!"
♦ Power :
Henrietta wields the Earth's power. She is able to form rocks from solid ground and thrust them towards her foes at impeccable speed. She can feel the Earth's vibrations and because of that she can usually detect any incoming spies, attackers, or a casual passerby. What makes her a truly fearsome opponent is her ability to manipulate gravity. With just swift movements of her hands she can send you flat on your face stuck to the ground or even floating in the air. She can have you hurled into the nearest tree or towards herself for raw physical power coming your way. She has strong arms and legs so one of her punches or kicks is enough to break a typical human arm. Though it's not the same case for her comrades. What she fears the most about herself is her capability to literally crush her opponents with the Earth's gravity. She discovered this by practicing on some large boulders. She cannot fully crush anything, only parts of them. However, the damage she inflicts by crushing something recoils onto herself. Not to mention the immense amounts of energy required to do such a thing. She avoids this at all costs and forbids herself to use such a technique.
"The real sin is averting your eyes and failing to believe in anyone."
♦ Personality :
Henrietta is a spunky girl. She has a short temper and is always full of lots of energy. She is not afraid to speak her mind and gets frustrated very easily especially if she feels embarrassed even in the slightest. Despite her temper, she is actually very kind. Her love for her friends runs deeper than anything she's ever known and she was heart broken when three of her friends left the original disciples. She felt rage, even bitterness and wants nothing more than for her family to be whole again. In fact, she is very touchy on the subject and hates to talk about how it makes her feel. Rarely does she ever tell anyone how she really feels because she's afraid to acknowledge these feelings herself. She can be insecure at times but mostly confident in whatever she does. Beware of picking a fight with her, it mostly likely won't end pretty. Henrietta hates seeing people cry especially if she cares about them. She does have a softer side to her that rarely comes out. She loves deeply and fights fiercely. Though she can't always save herself from despair in dark times, she often says the most encouraging things at the precise times someone needs to hear them making her encouragement something to cherish. When her friends are in trouble, she won't even hesitate to risk her life for theirs and has promised each of them once that she'd forever protect them, even those on the Ashes side. She feels many conflicting emotions when it comes to the three who left. She thought they were dead and she grieved a great deal only to find they were alive and going against her and the others leaving room for betrayal in her eyes. Even when she's gravely injured, she'll remind her friends that she will protect them no matter what and that a "few" cuts will not stop her. This makes her quite relentless at times. Though frustrating and sometimes unreasonable, she is a loyal friend and some appreciate her straight forwardness while others not so much.
♦ Appearance :
Henrietta usually wears her black dress that has slits on the sides where her legs show. She wears black shorts underneath to match along with a black jacket that is like a shirt. Attached to the jacket is a red material that almost seems like a scarf. It falls down in the front with small tears at the bottom. Accompanied by her attire is always a black neck material that wraps around. Her hair is mostly kept down but she gathers the bottom locks of hair in a thick ponytail. Her foot attire are khaki combat boots with black rubber soles. She treasures these shoes for she had them custom made.

♦ Strengths :
Henrietta thrives more in outdoor environments and any place she has access to rock. Her confidence gives her great endurance and her muscular physique provides her the energy she needs to wield her powers. She is adaptable in many situations and has a sharp mind that allows her to predict her foe's next move. The love and trust she feels for her friends also gives her strength in her darkest times. She is also an optimist and feels things will always work themselves out. Though many know her for her short outbursts, when she gives her friends encouragement it is often very heart felt, realistic and personal.
♦ Weaknesses :
Her sensitivity is her downfall and because of that she is easily influenced. Not to mention that she's very stubborn and not always open to new ideas. Everything someone says to her she takes to heart, and the more hurtful the words the more uneasy and distraught she becomes. If she is reminded of the past and the things that hurt her the most, she almost loses her grip on reality. Aside from her emotional side is the great deal of energy she must invest in her powers when using them. She always tries to build her endurance because of this. Her powers are strong, but after prolonged use she becomes very tired and trembles when she feels her energy has been depleted. It is at these moments where she places blind faith into her friends to protect her as she does for them. When it comes to her power mingling with the others, wind and darkness have the advantage over her. Winds that are powerful enough can lift rocks and uproot objects from the ground. If the wind is strong enough, it can even move things under certain gravity levels. When she uses her powers she is wide open to side attacks due to her focus having to remain on one thing at a time. In darkness, she grows uneasy when alone and can't find the light. Her insecurities allow her to be uncertain and in the darkness she won't be able to save herself.
♦ Fears :
Henrietta fears rejection a lot. She's aware that she has a temper but also wants everyone's approval. After the divide between the eight disciples she fears loss more than ever. She suffered a great deal when watching her family and childhood friends die due to her immortality. It was with the disciples where she found refuge, but now even they grew apart and separated. Henrietta also fears her power's potential to kill. When she realized her manipulation of gravity could crush someone she grew weary of her power. However, she doesn't mind roughing up her opponents but her intent is never to kill, only to put someone in their place.
"All I need is the power to be able to protect my comrades. So long as I can have the strength to do that, I don't care if I'm weaker than everyone else in the world."
♦ Relationships :
|| Louie ||
Henrietta has a lot of respect for Louie and his calm demeanor. She finds it amazing how quickly he can figure out what's wrong with his patients. She gets shy and slightly uncomfortable around Louie because suddenly her tough facade is no longer needed when she sees him. She finds there's really no point to it and it frustrates her because she's uncertain of how to not be acting tough all the time.
|| Yvette ||
Henrietta constantly feels a need to obtain Yvette's approval. She gets offended whenever Yvette is sarcastic with her or teases her because she has a hard time interpreting that as a joke. They argue a lot and Henrietta gets frustrated and unreasonable but it's usually best if someone stepped in the middle to explain Yvette's personality to her so that she's not always angry or on the defensive side.
|| Iraa ||
Iraa and Henrietta are very good friends. They have a bond that no one can possibly understand due to both of their unstable emotions. They're either being the best of friends or trying to kill each other/spew out the worst insults. However, regardless of their disputes they are always able to bounce back to their friendly selves and tend to forget why they even fought in the first place. In fact, Henrietta loves to fist fight with Iraa because she hits hard and doesn't hold back. As a result, Henrietta is always learning a thing or two from Iraa regardless if they're fighting or not. Many find their friendship bizarre and slightly scary but everyone should know that the two will always work out their problems with fists or silence.
|| Neris ||
Henrietta has always viewed Neris to be sort of her older sister. Though she'd never openly admit that to anyone, especially Neris. Whenever Henrietta is yelling at someone or an emotional wreck, Neris had always been there to subtly reassure her. Due to this, Hen developed a deep appreciation for Neris and has always looked up to her. When Neris left it was also another large emotional blow to her. She now feels as though their entire friendship/bond meant nothing to Neris and that Neris never actually cared. As a result, she continues to rage as the battle between two sides continues to move forward and she can't help but feel some bitterness towards Neris.
|| Carter ||
Before the split, Carter and Henrietta were pretty good friends. She had a vast appreciation for Carter's straight forwardness and blunt traits. She'd often vent to him about her frustrations with the other disciples and on rare occasion he'd open up to her. It's safe to say Henrietta even had a crush on Carter, they had many similarities once a long time ago. When the Ashes left, she felt a terrible loneliness and betrayal.
|| Alice ||
When Henrietta isn't on some rampage due to a temper tantrum, for the most part the two of them get along. Henrietta has a deep appreciation for Alice since Alice has stood up for her in the past. Henrietta views Alice to be a valuable friend even though they have disagreements a lot. They help each other in ways the others simply can't.
|| Seishin ||
Henrietta for the most part likes Seishin and gets along with him decently well. However, more often than not she finds him infuriating. But there are times when he's been genuinely kind to her which makes her like him very much as a person.
|| Keith ||
Henrietta has always been easily influenced by Keith and victim to his charm. Before he left she'd feel comfort through his presence but infuriated and confused whenever he'd lie to her 'just for fun'. She'd blow up in his face a lot and his lack of response would only infuriate her more. She's always wondered what he thought of their friendship.
