Name:Alexandria Nicole de la Couer
Gender: Female
Birth Date: June 21
Age: 22
Age Looks: 22
Hair: 1 1/2 inch long with bangs that are a foot long, black except for the bangs which are bleached and dyed violet
Eyes: depends on mood, on a normal day her eyes are a light hazel green, when she is sad they are a dark brown, when she is scheming something they are emerald green, anger causes her eyes to turn red, fear causes her eyes to turn white and when she is confused her eyes turn violet, color changes can happen within seconds of each other
Appearance:
She stands about 5'9" and weighs in at about 175 lbs with an athletic build. Her skin tone usually matches the picture, but becomes flushed and redder as her temperature rises.
She has three tattoos, one on her left shoulder of a cobra striking, and one on her right shoulder of a wolf head, howling at a background moon. She has a red dragon tattooed on her spine, with one claw extended holding a flame. The cobra and wolf are both black.
Alexandria's usual wardrobe includes (in daytime): jeans, t-shirt and comfortable shoes. At night, her usual outfit is high heels, fishnet stockings, micro-mini skirts, and skimpy, barely-covering-anything tops. Usually, almost everything is made of nomex or has nomex in it. On "missions", she wears a skintight black leather-looking suit with flame artwork extending from wrists and ankles, and large diamond-shaped section cut out from the abdomen. She matches the outfit with high-heeled boots, and, as any good super hero in her eyes, a black eye mask.

Personality: Alexandria is spoiled, growing up her parents gave her everything she wanted. When her mother died she left Alexandria everything. Even with that her father still gives her everything she asks for. She firmly believes that she deserves the universe. And that it is hers for the taking. Her parents never told her no, so whenever someone else does she either ignores them or, if they do have some semblance of authority, she makes their lives miserable until they either give in, or leave.
She is also a play girl. She grew up rich, so she is invited to all the best parties, and she goes to ALL of them. As far as she is concerned, if she was not invited, the party is not worth it. And she will let everyone know it. Tabloids on both sides of the Atlantic are filled with her exploits.
All the brattiness and partying aside, Alexandria believes that it is her job to help the less fortunate. And she cannot abide law breakers. She will give you anything, but the second you steal, you can kiss your freedom goodbye, she will do everything in her "power" to ensure you will never see the light of day again. Even having you killed, if she deems it necessary, and she does more often than some.
Family:
Mother: Maria de la Couer, ne Sumpter (deceased)
Father: Alexander de la Couer
Background: Alexandria was born to an "old" rich family. Her father was the eldest son from former French noble family who had retained their wealth. Her mother was the only grandchild of an wealthy English merchant. She was born and raise in Paris. It was her parents firm belief that their only child should have everything that she could ever want. Her parents sent her to the finest private schools that money could pay for, where she excelled her studies. Included in these studies were some basic martial arts classes. Every year before her mother died, her parents would take her on a trip to a new location and, from the time she was five, they would pay tutors to teach her the main language of the area. Due to this she knows, in addition to French and English, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic. They lavished her with gifts, gave her everything she asked for.
When she was eleven, her mother died in a car crash. In her will, she left everything to Alexandria. Her father, who was deeply in love with her mother, became depressed and withdrew from the public life. Alexandria was left to the care of nannies and the house servants. The trips ceased. In a fit of preteen/teen rebellion, Alexandria started to go to parties and binge drink. She continued to excel at school, in effort to get back her father's affection. Upon finishing secondary school she decided to move permanently to the U.S. She continued to go to parties on both sides of the ocean.
Between the ages of 18 and 21, Alexandria went on a all destructive partying string. The pictures of her passed out after drinking were endless. Harder to find were the pictures of her helping out the needy. Most days she could be found passing out meals to the homeless from 11 AM to 4 PM, then off to the bars or whatever party that happened to be happening that day.
Soon after her twenty-first birthday, she was wondering down a dark alley way, drunk again, when she was attacked. After she was hit for the third time, Alexandria felt heat flaring from her hands. She lashed at her attacker. The attacker's clothes caught fire and he ran off, trying put out the flames as he ran. Alexandria looked at her hands in shock, and ran home. A couple of days later, she received a surprise phone call from her father. He would not stop asking her if anything weird had happened to her. Finally, she told him what happened that day.
Her father than told her of the gift of her family. Every girl in his family had powers in accordance to when they were born. Being born in summer she had the power of fire. Alexandria hung up the phone with much on her mind. After a short time she decided that the gifts should be used to rid the world of those who would do others harm.
Character Info
Code Name: Spitfire
Enemy Code Name: same
Powers/abilities: Alexandria is capable of increasing her core temperature to the point that her blood, and through the surface vessels, her skin, will become engulfed in flame. This fire can become hot enough to produce updrafts capable of levitating her several feet, though never more than a story. On the flip side, if she heats up too much or for too long, she will start suffering as if from a fever. If the flames on her skin persist for too long, she can sustain burns as any other person. The time limit, depending on level of heat, is approximately one hour. Also, while her body heat is elevated, she can endure higher ambient temperatures. Elevated body temperature translates to higher fluid temperature. At temperatures above the quarter mark, her saliva becomes scalding. She can spit, and it will burn like any scalding water. At the halfway mark, it starts boiling. This brings us to another side-effect. If she sustains temperatures above half for more than about 90 minutes, she will begin suffering from severe dehydration. For this reason, she drinks a lot of water, frequently bloating herself before a planned mission. She can localize the heat increase.
Strengths: Alexandria has some martial arts training, and with that, physical self control, a measure of grace (when she isn't drunk), and slightly better strength than would be expected of someone with her build. Her powers allow her to more quickly incapacitate opponents and endure temperatures that could kill most humans. Her ability to boil her saliva means that she has limited ranged combat ability.
Weaknesses: She has a weakness for alcohol and parties. Her love of being 'out there' can get her into trouble, or be used as bait for a trap. She is greedy, and with her tendency to warm at least slightly when angry, suffers more frequent heat exhaustion than most Gothamers. Due to her "Punisher" morals set, she is at high risk of arrest, or targeting by local superheroes.
Affiliation: Neutral
Other Info
Anything else you'd like to add: Alexandria's family's gift is exclusive to the women on her father's mother's side. Those who are born in winter have the ability to harden their skin to the point of being like stone. Those born in spring have the ability to become fluid, they retain their basic shape but can slip through any crack that water could. Those born in summer possess the same powers as Alexandria. Those born in fall are able become as light as the air, so to able to "fly" wherever they want, and ability to become invisible. The gift manifests as a "coming of age occurrence" around the 21st birthday of the individual in question.
