Background/History: Tasha Tyrnov emigrated to America six years ago with her family, settling in the growing Russian community in suburban Orchardsville, her father seeking a better life for them. He succeeded tremendously, growing his business into a small dry cleaning empire of eight stores and two laundromats in the county.

American schools were quite different from Russian ones, and it took a while for Tasha to figure out her niche. Her father's growing fortune and her own blossoming beauty transformed her, and by the time she reached high school, she was a full-fledged princess. She acted like a young Tsarina, quickly earning a following composed of other rich and vapid girls. Her beauty and sultry accent caused boys to flock to her, and she exploited them mercilessly, loving all of the attention.

When the first Icons began appearing in the world a year ago, she hardly noticed. Then America Girl appeared a month ago in Orchardsville and made her debut to some acclaim. When her fellow students began talking with admiration of the star-spangled girl, Tasha felt her nascent Russian pride grow incensed. There had to be a way to compete with this unexpected rival. The thought obsessed her for days.

While driving home in her Mercedes on Friday night after a party and a fight with her boyfriend, she turned a corner and passed a store called Icons. She could have sworn the storefront hadn't been there a moment before, and she stopped the car and looked back, startled. It appeared to be some kind of a costume shop. She pulled over, parked her car and went inside, and the Tailor greeted her with an enigmatic smile and a nod as he stood up from behind the front counter, looking almost expectantly at her. He studied her for a long monent as they locked gazes and then nodded, gesturing with one hand towards the racks of costumes, as if in invitation. He only spoke a single phrase to her.

"Hero or Villain?" The way he said it, you could hear the first letters being capitalized.

Tasha's only answer was a disdainful snort as she swept past the odd man. She would not dignify the silly question with an answer.

The Tailor watched her walk deeper into the store, his gaze growing solemn behind her.

She was quickly drawn towards a red and gray, rather skimpy costume, a Cold War-era cheerleader-like ensemble with paramilitary additions that seemed to scream "I am Russia! Notice me!" It looked like just the thing to make the boys forget all about that stupid America Girl. It had this fascinating sparkle to it, like small streaks of lightning running through the material. When she put it on in the dressing room, she felt suddenly energized. The world seemed to slow to a crawl around her, and she felt more capable and vital than she had ever felt before. Grabbing her discarded designer clothes and handbag, she felt a sudden urge to run.

Blurring past the Tailor, she ran, and it felt glorious. The power she now wielded was electrifying to her senses, and she felt godlike. When she finally arrived home later that night, after having criss-crossed the county in minutes in an orgy of running, she almost reluctantly took the costume off. She felt a bare sliver of the power she had in costume remain with her, and she was suddenly famished. She raided the pantry, eating more than she had ever eaten before. She's been constantly hungry ever since that night, and she's taken to carrying multiple energy bars in her purse at all times.

Finally meeting America Girl had not been what she had expected their first encounter to be like. She had intended to show up her rival Icon and maybe beat her up in a fight. Instead, they ended up in a team-up against VIPER agents that came after them both. It's been like that ever since. Every time Tasha comes across America Girl, the two of them end up working together. Tasha dreams of finally being able to show up America Girl, to show her that a Russian Icon is better than some mere acrobat.

Personality/Motivation: Becoming an Icon has awakened Tasha to a new and much larger world, but she's not sure of her place in it. She does enjoy her powers though. Moving at superspeed makes her feel exalted and godlike, and one good thing she's discovered about her new abilities is that she'll apparently never have to worry about gaining any weight. She's been eating every day like the entire front line of the school football team, and she's remained the same weight.

Despite her wondrous powers, she's just not sure if she's cut out to be a hero. It seems like its just so much work. The only thing that keeps her going at it is her stubborn refusal to be outdone by America Girl. Whenever she feels hesitancy as to what she needs to do, one look at the other young Icon's face seems to give her the direction she needs. Not that she's ever admit it.

One other thing. She is very adamant in saying that she and America Girl aren't partners, no matter what the newspapers might say, or how well they seem to work together as a team.

Quote: "We have detente for now, America Girl. Don't get too used to it. We'll continue our disagreement later after we deal with these VIPER slowpokes."

"A date with you, Megaboy? I think not. I heard you asked America Girl first, and I'm no man's second choice."

Powers/Tactics: The power of speed is Tasha's to command. She can run like the wind and throw punches that break the sound barrier, and her body is sheathed in a field that protects her from friction and damage. In costume, she's able to do her studying in less than a minute.

Her other ability is her sex appeal, and she wields it like a skilled fencer. She knows how to break down her target's resistance in a short time, and she can fan a slight spark of interest into a passionate flame.

Campaign Use: Red Patriot is a highly-mobile fighter and scout for any teenaged superteam, and while she has a supremely confident opinion of herself, she knows how to work well with others when it suits her. She's on the divide between hero and villain, and she could fall either way depending on circumstances.

Appearance: Standing 5'6" in height, Red Patriot weighs a svelte 121 pounds, with a pleasing bustline and well-defined figure for a 16-year old teenager. Her blonde hair is usually highlighted with strawberry tones at expensive salons, and her eyes are blue with a little gray in them. She is quite beautiful with a sultry quality to her looks. Her skimpy costume is red and gray with matching boots and looks like a Soviet-era cheerleader's outfit. She's clearly very proud to be wearing it.
