Scarlet Mirage
(black in civilian guise)
(green in civilian guise)
The Scarlet Mirage - or simply The Mirage - is a magic user supposedly from the United Kingdom, who has recently become active as a hero in Millenium City in the aftermath of the Qullar invasion. Since then, she has achieved a medium degree of renown, particularly with law enforcement agencies, whom she often cooperates with.
She has no known prior record of vigilantism and was virtually unheard of before. Scarlet Mirage has readily registered with Primus upon her arrival in the United States, however, there's faint evidence that the identity she is using is fake.
Description
The Scarlet Mirage is a young woman in her mid-twenties, is about 6 feet tall, sports silver hair and her irises glow in a faint violet, her skin has a fair complexion. In her civilian guise, she hides this through the use of sorcery, her hair appearing black and her eyes green respectively then. She is an adept, if still somewhat inexperienced magic user, vigilante and adventurer. In her civilian life she works as a freelance photographer and studies journalism at the Millenium City University.
When she first appeared publically in Millenium City, saving a small group of civilians from Purple Gang thugs, a civilian asked her who is - she answered, with a smile, "I'm just a mirage." The 'Scarlet' stems from the fact that most of the costumes she's been spotted with feature distinctive shades of of the colour red. She never actually called herself by that moniker.
Immidiatetely after coming to the United States, officially in order to study journalism in Millenium City, she readily registered with Primus as a metahuman and was very forthcoming in cooperating with the authorities. However, while the papers she used appear to be legitimate, there's faint evidence that the identity she registered with is fake.
Personality
When appearing as a civilian, Elizabeth Kensigton is friendly and markedly polite, she doesn't socialize often and one could say she has a rather shy disposition.
This changes decidedly when posing as the Scarlet Mirage. While in costume, the Mirage has been noted to behave gleefully, invidious and downright spiteful towards her opponents, sometimes even towards allies, often on the verge of arrogance. This however, downplays the fact that she often acts kindly and compassionate towards allies and the innocent.
While she tries to fight tactically, she still sometimes gets into difficult situations, if only due to her relative lack of experience and her tendency to work alone. She keeps other heroes at distance and is not very forthcoming with details about herself to others.
