Zephyr

Zephyr, aka Angela Hope. She is a descendant of the Greek god Zephyros, and tghe chosen heir to his power.

Description
As Zephyr: Zephyr is tall and slender, with long legs, curly fire-red hair hanging loose about her shoulders, and large white-feathered wings. She wears a white, sleeveless grecian-style tunic that falls to mid-thigh, with blue trim around the bottom hem, silver grecian-style sandals with calf-high straps, a silver belt, and a silver domino mask.

As Angela: Angela is a tall, leggy redhead, with tanned skin and emerald eyes, Her clothes are always on the cutting edge of fashion, and always complement her natural coloring.

Origin
A few years ago, Angela tried hang gliding for the first time. Her glider malfunctioned, and in her panic, she called to the zephyr wind for help (A call that originated in a memory of an ancient TV show she saw as a child), "Oh Zephyr winds, which blow on high. Lift me now, that I may fly." A sudden updraft slowed her fall, and she came out of the crash with only minor injuries. While in the hospital, she had a strange dream, in which she saw an old man with wings. He told her that he was Zephyros, god of the west wind, and that she was his many many times great-granddaughter, and heir to his power. He then took her hands, and dissolved into light, which then flowed up her arms and into her body. When she awoke, she found that she could control the wind and call forth her wings when she needed them. She decided to take the old god's name and become Zephyr, and bring the warmth of spring to this cold world.

Powers
Zephyr is a descendant of Zephyros, the ancient Greek spirit of the west (spring) wind, and his chosen heir. This gives her wings that can grow from her back when she wills it, as well as power over wind and heat.

Personality
Angela has been modeling professionally for many years, so she's learned to show whatever emotion may be required. Off-camera, she is usually bright and sunny, making friends easily. However, if she encounters a difficult problem, she can be grim and determined. Zephyr is much the same, though her connection to the prevailing weather can influence her mood (i.e. rain can make her sad, extreme heat can put her on edge, lightning can bring anger, etc.).

Relations
Zephyr considers the other Greek-themed heroes in Colonial Bay to be her "cousins". Among them, she is closest to Spartan. She strives to prove herself worthy to her "Grandfather" Zephyros.

History
Angela Hope hails from Santa Barbara, California. She started modeling in high school, and her career plodded along for a few years, until her accident. After that, it took off, and continued to rise until she was hired recently by the Charles Agency in Colonial Bay. (She hasn't yet met Mr. Charles in person, only speaking to him by phone, and meeting with his assistant, David Doyle.) If things continue like this, she will soon achieve supermodel status. The rest of her family still lives out west.
