There's no denying that Willa is beautiful. She even worked as a model a bit in her teen years, but she got bored of it. She has mid-length, light brown hair and dark brown eyes framed by full brows. Her wide smile transforms her face from dark and mysterious to bright and warm. She's a bit taller than average at 5'7'' and very slender at 120 pounds.
Willa is always wearing the latest girly, flirty fashions, and strongly prefers dresses or shorts–anything that shows off those long, long legs. Whether it's Stella McCartney, Ralph & Russo, or Kate Spade, her outfits are always designer and always perfect down to the minute details. Even a casual look is carefully planned and usually costs more than the average person's rent.

Her privileged upbringing means that she is often out of touch with reality and the needs of others, but she works hard to change that about herself.

Barbara Martin (née Carter)||Mother||Distant
Willa's family life, while incredibly cushy and privileged, is not as rosy as it seems. Though she is close with her father, her mother is judgmental and demanding of her. Humphrey's mother was an actress that died of an overdose soon after he was born, leaving behind a large estate and even more royalties coming in. Barbara is a Hollywood starlet and socialite from an old money family.

Willa Astrid Martin was born in London to Humphrey and Barbara Martin on July 7th in perfect health. Her family split their time between London, her mother’s hometown, and Los Angeles, her father’s hometown, but she always preferred LA. Something about the sun and the wild happenings appealed to her more than rain and buttoned up society gatherings. As was the Carter family way, Willa would have been taken care of primarily by a team of nannies and tutors, if it had not been for the steady defiance of her father, who had her with him as often as he could, bringing her to meetings and events more often than was really appropriate for the upright philanthropist he was supposed to be. She grew up privileged and sheltered but with high expectations to live up to her families.
Willa’s primary and secondary education came from a mix of exclusive private schools and dedicated tutors for every subject. Her bachelors degree is in Classics and French from Magdalen College at Oxford University. She quickly became known as a party girl and career socialite. Though her Alpha Bitch reputation didn’t really fit her, she learned to play to expectations to keep people from being disappointed. When she got sick, her parents desperately searched for answers. They flew in top doctors from around the world to try to cure her, but they couldn’t stop the fever, the bleeding, or the seizures. And they couldn’t stop her from dying. Through it all, her parents, especially her father, never left her side. When she woke up, she vowed to change her life, even after her newfound “abilities” broke more than a few things around her parents house.
She bought an apartment in San Fransisco, and worked to be the person she always wanted to be. Herself, unapologetically.
Powers:
Willa’s energy blasts can come from anywhere on her body. She has even managed (on accident) to throw an energy projection of herself. The blast typically come at times of high emotion. They can break furniture and bones and throw a person, even Willa, across a room. When it happens, the air seems to ripple like heat off pavement.
