ABILITIES:
SKILLS:
WEAKNESSES:
- Fire Manipulation: Adara has the ability to bend fire to her will. She can even make it grow and increase or dissipate.
- Fire Generation: She's able to summon flames out of thin air, without needing a spark or anything flammable.
- Heat Resistance: She's unable to get overly hot or face the consequences of extreme heat such as sunburns or heat stroke.
- Burn Immunity: She's immune to the burning touch of fire. Flames can touch her hair and skin without causing her any harm.
- Fire Transformation: She has the ability to transform her whole body into being made out of flames. However this is an untapped ability that she doesn't know she possesses. Accidentally using it at this point would cause her to pass out shortly after.
SKILLS:
- Karate: Adara has a black belt in karate.
- Weaponry: Though she prefers doing all her fighting with her powers, she knows how to defend herself with a weapon decently enough.
- Stealth: She's able to remain unseen, hiding in shadows or blending into crowds.
- Thievery: She's an excellent thief, going hand-in-hand with her skill in stealth.
- Conning: She focuses her con-artist skill mostly on convincing people she's someone she's not in order to get close enough to steal from them or to just protect herself.
WEAKNESSES:
- Only Human: Despite all her powers, Adara's not invulnerable. She's just as vulnerable to weapons, poisons, and diseases as the average non-powered human.
- Cold: She's very vulnerable to cold weather and environments. The colder she is, the harder it is for her to use her powers.
- Cocky: She's quite confident in her skill as a thief and can underestimate her opponent because of it.
- Water: The wetter she gets, the harder it is to use her powers. For example, it's almost impossible for her to use her powers in the rain without passing out.
- Physical Toll: Using her powers takes a physical toll on her body and mind. The more she uses her powers or the more she pushes her limits, the stronger of a toll it takes. The effects can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, throwing up, and even passing out.
Appearance
GENERAL: Adara stands at five feet and seven inches tall. Her skin tone is a blush shade. She has long dark red hair that becomes wavy the farther down it goes. Her irises are also a warm brown shade. Her sense of style is just whatever she feels comfortable in or in the mood for. She most often prefers darker shades of colors but sometimes wears lighter shades with dresses or t-shirts. She likes to stand out in her civilian life and make people's heads turn so she typically wears something she thinks accomplishes that.
COSTUME: Torch's costume is made up of material she stole from Timothy Smith's laboratory at the Astaria Research Facility. Every part of her costume is fireproof and won't burn away. Her costume is all black with a touch of dark red accents. Her domino mask has high tech lenses that allow her to see in the dark and track her target. Her shirt is actually a v-neck tank top underneath a hooded jacket, unzipped. She has a belt around her waist with various tools needed for breaking and entering. She wears gloves on her hands. She also wears pants with knee high boots over the legs. The boots each have a short, flat heel. She typically has her hair tied up in a ponytail or put in a braid when she's in her costume.

Personality
Adara thinks of herself as a sort of Robin Hood. She doesn't give away what she steals but she likes to steal from those who have plenty to give. She steals both for the fun of it and to hurt the upper class. Unlike the fire she controls, she's not hot headed or quick to anger. She can easily remain calm in stressful situations - though she has her limits. Ironically she becomes more icy when angered. She is quick to defend herself when she feels threatened and doesn't mind being the one to throw the first punch or fireball.
At the moment she's a firm believer that if you want your life to be better, you have to do something about it. After spending years on her own, she believes that everyone has to take care of themselves, that you can't really count on other people because she never had anyone she could count on before. She believes she's better on her own and that to get close to someone is asking to be used and hurt.
However there is a kind soul that lives inside her. She just has so many walls up right now. A part of her actually hopes for someone who she feels comfortable enough around to let her guard down.

History
Adara was born in prison after her mother was incarcerated on drug trafficking charges. Her father wanted nothing to do with her and she was quickly put into the foster care system. She was taken in by a family and lived with them until she was thirteen years old. Growing up, it was clear that she wasn't wanted by that family, that all they wanted was the money they received for being her foster parents. At thirteen years old, she dropped out of school and ran away.
She was placed into several foster homes between thirteen and eighteen but ran away from each one. At eighteen years old, she was living on the streets, trying to stay out of trouble and keep herself safe. She learned quickly how to con and started conning random people to get money. She also started stealing. She was arrested at nineteen but managed to escape.
When she was twenty-one, she made the mistake of seeking shelter too close to where Timothy Smith was working on a fusion reactor. When the reactor exploded, she was caught in it. The fire of the explosion mixed with the radioactive energy of the reactor and bombarded her entire body. Her clothes were burned away but instead of burning her body, the energy soaked into her and changed her genetics. She woke up before any ambulances or firefighters arrived. She ran and stole clothes from a local store. When a random man pushed her into an alley and tried to take advantage of her, in her fear she burned him until he was a dead corpse.
Over the past five years, she trained with her newfound abilities, testing them as best she could. She continued to steal but only three months ago did she dawn the identity of Torch, after stealing materials from Timothy Smith's laboratory at the Astaria Research Facility in order to create her fireproof costume and high tech mask. She's since made quite the name for herself as a thief in Astaria, never once apprehended by the police.
