PARENTAGE | Sól, Goddess of the Sun
HELIOKINESIS | As the daughter of the very Sun herself, Kari is able to create, shape, and manipulate sources of fire, light and heat which are usually manifested into a combination of all three to a varying degree. It’s more draining for her to create than it is for her to simply manipulate what is already present, and she finds it more taxing to do so away from natural sunlight or strong flames as well. She is able to rejuvenate her strength from the sun, and can be sustained by its rays in place of food and water however she’s rarely relied on this aspect of her physiology and finds her powers heightened under its glare but by the same token she usually avoids making use of her powers at night or in darkness where she is weaker. While it’s possible that her abilities extend further she’s done her best to avoid delving into them further as she fears where that will lead.
ENHANCED SPEED | Something that surprised Kari as she grew up was that not everyone was a fast as she was, since she could easily outstrip all of the other children, and even several of the adults. Her control is fairly decent, usually because she’d often make the most use of her abilities to avoid collision as well as travelling long distances; and a well-placed gout of flame on the corners didn’t hurt either.
ASTROKINETIC FLIGHT | Lorem ipsum.

ASTROKINETIC FLIGHT | Lorem ipsum.
STRENGTHS | Lorem ipsum.
WEAKNESSES | Subtlety isn’t exactly something which comes easily to Kari, neither is situational awareness so she can sometimes come across as out of touch with her reactions or comments.
FEARS | Kari has struggled with a mild form of Aquaphobia from a young age, though it has been known to overtake her rationality. Her relationship with the Sun is complex and almost ironic since she keeps herself covered most of the time as she is terrified of over exposure causing her to lose control almost as much as she is of bathing in her mother’s warmth forever. Part of this fear stems from legends about Ragnarok where her mother is destined to be devoured by Sköll and for her brightest daughter to take her place in the sky above a world reborn. When her mother explained that this would likely be her eventual destiny she spent many months crying herself to sleep at the thought.

Katharine was presumably born on Thursday the 21st of June, which in the year of her birth was the longest day of the year otherwise known as the Summer Solstice. The way her Father always told the story it had been a lengthy courtship of several years with varying success on his part, which she only later learned had actually spanned far more than the mere months she had initially believed. The story usually involved him spying a raven haired beauty somewhere in the distance, haloed by a radiant sunbeam as she watched him training or partaking in an Olympic event back before an injury had ended his promising career. And his pursuit of this woman resulting in years of momentary glimpses, brief encounters and a passionate love for her that never died out no matter how far and few between these meetings were.
He had begun to suspect there might be something not quite right as this had went on for several years till she arrived one evening in June, cradling the young baby in her arms. It was that night that she explained everything to him; who she was, why she had never stayed for long, and that while she shared much of his feeling she was too distant, both physically and emotionally to be bound to only him as her warm fell upon all of humanity and she couldn’t bear to only exist in one place.
For all that the loss of Sól had clearly wounded her father it was clear to any who saw him that the love for his daughter eclipsed any pain he might have suffered for he doted on her with everything he had. Together with his extended family he did his best to raise Katharine, his Kenna (born of fire) with as well-rounded an education in whatever took her fancy as much as what he felt she would need to survive in life. She showed a great love of various sports within their town, excelling at several as she could often outstrip her fellow boys and girls with ease. Though despite her success in many of the distance based athletics she gravitated more towards ice skating, and in spite of her size, ice hockey as she adored the precision required and was usually better at dodging that taking others on directly. She developed a love of music as well as astronomy from her father, who had taken well to both in his retirement and now made a living from them in the shadow of the Northern Lights themselves.
The first inclination of her inherited powers showed when she was maybe four or five years old, as she had spent much of the summer exploring the mountains and hillsides with her father under the glare of the sun. Her skin had been absorbing much of the warm weather as we all do, and while they were relaxing nearby an icy river her body was beginning to burn up to the point where it was not exactly painful for her at first, but the sensation was unusual and frightened her. It wasn’t long before she was radiating warmth and faint light all around her, almost as a miniature sun reflecting the light of mother from up above while the snow did little except to increase the focus. In the end her father had to dive into the shallows of the river, clutching his screaming daughter as safely as he dared in an attempt to cool her. Her fires were smothered by being drenched in the ice cold waters, though this did give her a rather valid dislike of baths or showers at anything less than scalding hot temperatures that partially developed into a form of hydrophobia as she grew.
Even though she occasionally tested her ability to absorb energy from the sunlight she decided that it was perhaps better to obscure her bare flesh from the direct rays except where she could ensure controlled exposure to maintain control of herself. This has certainly lessened as she has learned more about her abilities but she still keeps to fairly thick and concealing clothing in most instances.
Over the years while she rarely saw her mother, at least not in person as her father often described her, she always felt her by her side. Every time her skin prickled in the warmth of the sun or she blinked at a sudden change in the brightness she knew that her mother was close. It was when she had not long turned ten that her mother visited her for the first time, partially to explain her absence and attempt to reconnect with a daughter she knew intimately yet only as a watcher from afar, and to enrol her at the Icarus Academy.
