Mist

Mist is perhaps the most obscure member of Les Champions du Québec: always gloomy and serious, she's more than happy to let the others take the spotlight. It wasn't always so: once she was the carefree Sylph of Les Éléments, the best friend and playmate of the young Lady Luck, but she seems so different now few people have ever made the connection. Her real name is Jennifer O'Hara.

Description
As Mist: Mist is a young woman of average height and slender but athletic build. She wears a simple grey bodysuit without insignia and a mask that covers the upper part of her face but leaves her short black hair free.

As Jennifer O'Hara: Jennifer is a prettyish young woman of average height and slender but athletic build, with short black hair and grey eyes. She generally dresses more for comfort than style, often in jeans and a sweater in informal circumstances. She usually has a serious air about her.

Origin
Sylph was an active superhero in Canada from 2045 to 2049 and Mist has been from 2050 to the present, but nothing is known of how she came by her powers.

Powers
Mist can transform her body into a living cloud of mist, which she can disperse till she's nearly imperceptible, or concentrate into a dense cloud, or even make so thick someone could drown in it.

As Sylph she had a rather different air-based set of powers, chiefly wind manipulation.

Personality
Mist is a very distant, unsociable and serious character who seldom smiles. She gets the job done, often working apart from others (to be fair, this is largely because of the stealthy nature of her powers), but seldom betrays her thought or emotions, and seems not to wish to speak about them. A notable exception is that she is visibly terrified of guns. She does seem to have a certain passion for the job of crimefighting too, and seems to be leaning toward some sort of career in that area as Jennifer too.

Before Hydraulique's death, she was a very different person: cheerful, friendly and even frivolous. On very rare occasions, often associated with fond memories this old self comes throw and Mist is briefly her old happy self.

Relations
Sylph was generally a very friendly sort, and particularly close to Lady Luck and to Flambeau (then her boyfriend). Mist is another story: she lets no one get very close. In her private life she is buried in her studies, and as Mist she is the loner of the group - though she is still a good team player. She's not even very close to her family any more; they've grown concerned that la Sorcière Blanche's cure was less than it might have been.

History
In 2049, Hydraulique, the leader of les Éléments, was shot dead in a fight. So traumatized was Sylph by the loss of her friend and teammate that she became quite unresponsive to her surroundings and was hospitalized. Between these two losses and public concern about youthful superheroes, the group dissolved.

Sylph remained in hospital for a year with no sign of improvement, until a mysterious woman persuaded the doctors to let her try to help. The woman was the thitherto unknown Sorcière Blanche, who had the young woman up, walking about and apparently in her right mind in a matter of hours. But she wasn't the cheerful, even frivolous person Sylph had been; the new Jennifer was serious, gloomy and studious. Her powers had changed to, from air-based to mist-based: presumably something of Hydraulique's water powers had passed to her. La Sorcière Blanche re-introduced her to the new team, and they have both been with them since.

Jennifer has applied herself to improve her school marks (which had been poor) and is now attending university.
