Skills-
Martial Arts: Amelia has mastered the fundamentals of several styles of martial arts, to include Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Wing Chun, and Taekwondo. None of her training is formal, so she has no official rankings in any of them.

Weapons Training: She can disassemble and reassemble any firearm known to man in record time, and is a crack shot at close range. However, as she is nearsighted, her ability to accurately strike a target diminishes rapidly the further away the target is.

Math and Science: Her true Dominis Arte, Amelia is a wunderkind of all forms of natural science, especially chemistry and physics. She has memorized the Periodic Table as well as nearly all the chemical compounds, their synthesis processes, and their reactions. Her grasp of physics, both theoretical and applied, stands shoulder to shoulder with minds like Hawking, Bohr, Tesla, and Schrodinger. She is also a polymath on par with Leonard Euler or Bertrand Russel.

Calligraphy: Thanks to the natural dexterity of her species and her close-range visual acuity, as well as the training and practice she has undertaken to properly use her Rune Inscription ability, she is one of the best calligraphers in the world.

Weaknesses-
Nearsighted: Amelia's ability to distinguish details begins to fall off harshly at just twenty feet. By three hundred feet, even large objects are a blurred haze of colors, and she relies heavily on contrast and motion to provide visual clues. Due to her extremely acute short-range vision, it is impossible to create a lens to correct this.

Frail Bones: After rapidly reaching her current height and weight by ten years of age, she ceased growing and has reached her adult size. Due to her small stature and dense musculature, her bones are more prone to breaking, and are more difficult to set once broken. They are also slower to heal, although the process can be slightly enhanced if she is allowed isolation and maintains a constant purr.

Low Stamina: Despite being highly energetic and physically active, her small frame has a limited lung capacity and heart size. This greatly limits her stamina and ability to maintain peak physical activity over a long period of time.

Powers-
Beastkin Natural Abilities-
Healing Saliva: A wound licked by a beastkin seals up immediately, and gains a small healing factor. A byproduct of this is that she is immune to all forms of ingestible poison or disease. Poison or any disease caused by bacterium or virus that enters via a wound can also be treated this way, however this won't combat injected poison or extreme internal contamination, such as sepsis.

Enhanced Perception: Beastkin have incredible senses. As a Foxform beastkin, Amelia's strongest senses are her hearing and her smell, both of which are several orders of magnitude sharper than a typical human's. At short range, her vision is also several orders of magnitude sharper; however, at mid and long ranges her sight becomes fuzzy. Combined, her enhanced senses give her preternatural reflexes.

Enhanced Physical Prowess: Beastkin share many of the physical attributes of the animal with which they share a spirit. As a Foxform beastkin, Amelia has incredible agility, flexibility, climbing, and jumping/leaping ability. Additionally, her large tail acts as both a counterbalance and rudder, allowing  her to sprint at incredible speeds, as well as rapidly adjust her trajectory, even while airborne. When fully fluffed, it also acts as a cushion and an air brake, allowing her to survive a fall from any height, unassisted and uninjured.

Special Power-
Rune Inscription: As a beastkin, Amelia is spiritually connected to the fundamental forces of the universe. This manifests in a magic-like ability to use symbological glyphs (Runes) to cause changes in the underlying fields through which those forces act. She is capable of Infusing Will into physical objects through the act of Inscription, which creates changes in the structures of the fields composing those objects, which in turn propagates into physical phenomenon. As this process uses the fundamental energy of fields, the amount of energy available to use in any given Inscription is equal to the total amount of energy in the universe at the instant of the Big Bang. An object Infused with Will is being defined by a process parallel to the natural order, and as such, is inherently resistant to being destroyed or altered by common physical phenomena.

There are limitations, chief of which is the inability to Inscribe a living thing which possesses its own Will. Inscription also requires precise application of Willpower, as well as the correct structure of the Rune which represents the desired effect, both of which require extreme precision and mental concentration. Properly done Inscription takes time and repetitive practice, without which unforseen effects may occur, or no effects at all may occur. Additionally, the more energy required of a Rune, the shorter the effect lasts and the greater the requirement for correct application of the control matrix.

Currently, Amelia has worked out only a small handful of Runes: LISTEN, RELAY, MOVE, TEMPO, and LOCUS. LISTEN is perhaps the most fundamental of the Runes, as an object Inscribed with it becomes receptive to multiple inputs. LOCUS allows for the establishment of physical relation; similarly TEMPO allows for the establishment of temporal relation. MOVE induces an object to either begin or arrest motion. RELAY allows for the transmission of Will through a medium bearing the Inscription.

Gear-
Chain Guard: Using LISTEN, RELAY, MOVE, and TEMPO, Amelia has Inscribed the links of several hundred feet of chain to enable the use of Will to create motion. This chain has been divided into six segments, each functioning under rudimentary principles similar to cephalopod limbs. LISTEN and RELAY combine to give rudimentary, two-way sensory feedback; and RELAY, MOVE, and TEMPO allow for dexterous motile ability. All six require physical contact with at least one link in the chain in order to enable the LISTEN Rune.

Chain Hub: Using LOCUS, MOVE, LISTEN, TEMPO, and RELAY, Amelia has created a set of three Hubs which can act as a remote commander for non-local control of any segment of Chain Guard not in physical contact with Amelia. Physical contact is required to establish a Willful command for a Hub, and once deployed, these commands cannot be changed until Amelia comes back in physical contact with the Hub. Sensory information is not shared with Hubs. Some examples of the use cases of the Hubs: Gather and Retrieve Chain Segment, Use Chain Segment to Bind, Move to Intercept. Hubs are only capable of moving when in contact with a segment of Chain Guard, however a Hub thrown into contact with a segment of Chain Guard that is not in physical contact with Amelia will utilize that segment once contact is made.

Background-
Temporally Displaced Orphan: Amelia is from a future timeline in which a massive catastrophe resulted in the merging of two planets from parallel universes. Due to an accident that occurred during a conflict in that time period, Amelia was transported back in time as an infant, to a time period before the cataclysm. Her lineage is a mix of human and an alien species that existed on the alternate dimension planet, and is not native to this fracture of the multiverse. She knows nothing of where she originally came from, however, she possesses instinctual memories sealed in her genes, which grant her insight into her Runic abilities.

Adopted Mafioso: She grew to adolescence in the wild before being found on the outskirts of Seattle, Washington at the age of eight, and raised by a small family with ties to both law enforcement and the local mafia. She quickly became very beloved by the Family, who raised her to be their agent inside the Superhero system.

Connections- Amelia remains a valued member of the mafia, and has access to any resource she needs. Due to the Family's investment in placing her amongst the world's Superheroes, she is a vital and integral member, and can acquire anything that money can buy with a few words. Of course, this comes with the understanding that she is always available to do the bidding of the Godfather, no matter the time, place, or requirement. In terms of her standing in the Family's hierarchy, she answers only to the Don.
