Background/History: Brenda Blake was born and raised in a small town in Kansas, in a traditional, Protestant household where her loving parents instilled in her a core of strong moral values. Thin and gangly with thick glasses and a poor complexion, she kept to herself and didn't date in high school or even college (mainly because no one asked). When she was 20, she transferred from her town's community college to Millenium City University.

On her first night in the new city, suitcase in hand, while wandering its streets looking for the apartment building she was going to be living in, she suddenly discovered Icons. She could have sworn the storefront hadn't been there a moment before. Going inside on a sudden impule, the Tailor greeted her with an enigmatic smile and a nod as he stood, looking expectant, and she felt a strange urge to wander the racks. There was something about the place that drew her in, something calling to her soul.

She was quickly drawn towards a red, white and blue patriotic costume with a cowl mask on one of the racks, complete with knee-high red leather boots and elbow-length gloves, and even a large round shield decked out in a patriotic design. Just looking at it made her feel proud to be American. She felt silly to want to try it all on, but it had this odd sparkle to it, like something magical was waiting to happen. Putting it on in the dressing room was like an electric surge when she settled the cowl over her head, like a circuit closing. Her body swelled with sudden power, and she felt more capable and vital than she had ever felt before. And... taller.

That was her first night in costume, but it left an immediate, indelible change on her. Once in full uniform for the first time, her height and build suddenly transformed from its previous 5'8" height and thin-built frame to her current appearance. She could hardly believe what she saw, staring in awe at her new self in the mirror, taking in the many changes. The Tailor smiled at her as she left the store in a state of shock and confusion, almost forgetting her suitcase there, and he looked satisfied and pleased. She stopped several street crimes that first night, feeling an obligation to use her new abiltiies. A phrase from one of her younger brother's comic books came to her mind, "With great power comes great responsibility." When she took the costume off, her height and build remained in its statuesque form, but only a sliver of the full strength she had in costume remained with her.

Over the following weeks, she spent a great deal of her free time in costume, and her body seemed to soak up power from it like a sponge, eventually growing to be as strong and capable out of costume as in it. However, she discovered with some dismay that her libido was amping up at a similar rate to her body's increasing in strength. She began thinking about sex almost constantly and began suddenly really noticing men on campus, like the members of the various athletic teams on campus. A couple of weeks after getting her costume, she spent several hours just watching them train one day, almost drooling at the sight of them. The men noticed her eventually, but she ran away without speaking to any of them. She stayed in the back of her classes, dressed in bulky clothing and her old glasses to hide her new appearance.

She tried to paint and draw, but after the first couple of weeks she couldn't keep the thoughts away, could no longer sublimate her burgeoning desires through her art anymore. She went out in costume to run around and leap from rooftop to rooftop, hoping the exercise would help her sleep. That night she got into a brawl with some VIPER agents robbing a warehouse. The fight was more intense than anything she had ever experienced before dealing with petty street criminals. Afterwards, she felt more relaxed and less edgy, and the catharsis of fighting relieved her desires for a day. But as she later discover, the urges always returned eventually.

She tried taking the costume back once, but she wasn't able to find the store again. It seemed like a waste to not embrace the gift of power the costume held, so she kept using it.

She's been going out every night ever since, and that's helped her control herself.

Personality/Motivation: Deep down, Brenda truly loves being a superheroine, and she sees it as her duty to protect others in need and defeat criminals. While she has a strong moral code, she isn't preachy about it. She writes her parents every month (although she keeps her superheroing a closely-guarded secret, both to protect them and to keep them from worrying about her). She does volunteer work at charities, and she strives to attend church services every Sunday and read her Bible daily.

Her raging hormones are a constant trial to her, especially since she's still a virgin and very inexperienced with men. She fights against her sexual desires, and the resulting mental stress causes her to be moody and frequently edgy. Beating up criminals is a cathartic experience for her, relieving her stress and helping her to maintain mental balance. She is very defensive about her sexuality, and lewd comments about her appearance can anger her. She secretly desires to be an example of wholesome womanhood to girls. Her fear is that her lustful nature will be revealed, damaging her reputation as a "good girl" superheroine.

Quote: "Stop staring at my chest! My eyes are up here!" (while blushing)

"Green Dragon, if you say one more thing like that, I'm going to kick your misogynistic butt from here to Vibora Bay!"

Powers/Tactics: In superhuman physical condition with a tireless physique, America Woman's body has been significantly altered and improved by the super-soldier serum that rebuilt her entire genetic structure. She is incredibly strong, fast, and heals from injuries in mere hours. She has instinctive fighting skills that flow from no known style, and she becomes even more formidable the longer she fights someone. In addition to defense, she is able to use her unbreakable shield to deal with any opponents at range, hurling it at them and having it bounce back to her hand.

Her awesome sex appeal is an additional weapon in her arsenal, and male opponents trying to analyze her fighting style frequently find themselves distracted by her appearance.

When around handsome men (1+ levels of Striking Appearance/18+ Presence), her hormones go into overdrive, and the pheromones her body normally puts out intensify, causing every human male around her to gradually fall in love with her and desire her as a mate. The affect wears off after a day.

Campaign Use: America Woman is a front-line fighter for any superteam, and she is a loyal team player. Her inner conflict between her moral code and her raging hormones provides drama with any male teammates, and she would make for a challenging but interesting romantic interest.

Appearance: Standing 6'1" in height (6'2" in the boots that came with the costume), America Woman weighs about 160 pounds, with a broad-shouldered and well-defined figure that is both leggy and statuesque. Her thick mane of golden-blonde hair flows down her back in a lustrous wave, and her eyes are a clear, bright blue in color. She is incredibly sexy but with a wholesome quality to it, and she strives to cultivate a "good girl" superheroine appearance. Her armored costume is red, white and blue, with red, knee-high red boots and elbow-length gloves. Her shield apears identical to the one wielded by Captain America in the comics.
