Bubbles

Bubbles or Bubble is one of the Chinatown Metas, who can make force-field bubbles.

Description
Bubbles is quite short and has the cute and bubbly look suggested by her name.

Background
Bubbles (still incredibly, to those who know) appears to be the product of a school science experiment: the girl and a few of her friends, after studying some ancient texts about "magic" powers and putting her through various rituals and administering drugs etc (all legal apparently) managed to give her psychokinetic powers. Or perhaps they awoke existing powers, or it was just a cover for how she really came by them: people are sceptical. In any case, the experiment was never successfully repeated, even though Bubbles went on to become a respected researcher in psychokinetics at a research institute in Wuhan.

She was also, of course, in the Chinese army officially, but her research was regarded as promising enough that she was seldom required to serve regularly until the civil war. She fought with distinction (and bloodily) in the war: she used her powers to bisect people more than once. Of course, with Beijing besieged there was no choice but to flee.

Powers
Bubbles can create psychokinetic force fields, but only in spherical shapes (though she can vary the size). If they intersect physical object they cause great damage to or even sever them.

Personality
Despite her bloody history, she now favours using her powers in a gentler manner: the seems to have repented of her wartime acts.

Relations
Not much is known of her current relations.

History
Bubble escaped the Siege of Beijing with the other Chinatown Metas. She has been encountered fighting a fire in Chinatown.
