Full Name: Violet Parr
Series Taken From: The Incredibles
Power Retained: Invisibilty (can turn herself invisible, and people she's touching)
Background: Violet Parr was not born to be normal. Her parents, Bob and Helen, lived in a quiet and unassuming suburb of Metroville--relocated superheroes who had been barred from their former profession by the government after Robert "Mr. Incredible" Parr had inadvertantly sparked a wave of injury, property damage, and harrassment lawsuits against the government after saving a jumper and stopping an el-train that was about to crash (resulting in broken ribs, whiplash, and various other injuries). The two of them tried to lead normal lives and raise a family like the ordinary citizens that they had protected. Violet was born a few years later, and her powers soon manifested themselves--she could both turn invisible and create spherical forcefields.
Unfortunately, Bob's inability to completely adjust to non-super life resulted in several incidents that forced the government to relocate the Parrs so that they would remain incognito. Her mother made every effort to keep them as normal as possible and discouraged Violet and Dash from using their powers--while Bob did the reverse. Being uprooted and separated from the friends she had made and her inability to feel normal in any case caused Violet to withdraw into herself--she went out of her way to be as inconspicuous as possible, keeping herself hidden behind her hair and drab-colored clothing. Her brother Dash was a source of great annoyance--his own pent-up energy and inability to get it out made Violet a convenient target, and she didn't hesitate in retaliating or starting fights on her own.
By the time she was in junior high, Violet had pretty much stopped trying as far as the social scene went--she wasn't entirely friendless, and she did develop a crush on a boy named Tony Rydinger, but she expressed it by using her invisibility to lurk and watch him, too shy to actually start a conversation. She was much more comfortable at home, where she could seek solitude (when Dash wasn't being an annoying little twerp). The arrival of baby Jack-Jack added another uncertainty and the fact that the family had been able to remain in this particular house for quite some time didn't help too much. Nor did a loud, late-night argument between Bob and Helen about Bob's habit of sneaking out at night to do heroic things with his reluctant friend Lucius (Frozone, another superhero).
Shortly after that, though, a change did start to come over Bob as he seemed to stop living in the past and started paying more attention to his family, going up in his job and getting back into shape. The other three Parrs were surprised but very happy at his new connection with daily life. Unfortunately, the real reason was because he had found a paying job where he could be a superhero again, which had been an elaborate trap set by an embittered fanboy who had once idolized him. When he was away on a "conference" and Helen returned from a visit with an old friend with a bad mood and three supersuits, things started to get clearer. She told her children that she was going to find Bob, instructing them to stay at home, get to bed on time, and not to worry. Which, of course, wasn't suspicious at all.
Nabbing the two smaller suits, Dash and Violet's questions were answered by having Helen shut the door on them. Testing her suit, Violet discovered what Dash had--it was custom-made to suit her abilities, and would go invisible when she did. Violet hired a sitter for Jack-Jack, and the two of them stowed away on the private jet that Helen had borrowed to go find Bob. This led to a bit of an argument when Helen discovered them--between whose fault it was, what they were doing there, what about Jack-Jack. But this was cut short when the island launched missiles at the plane. Helen went into evasive maneuvers and told Violet to put a forcefield around the plane. But Vi, having never encountered anything like this before in her life and still remembering what her mother had said about not using her powers, was unable to even create one that remained intact in the cabin. Helen shielded the kids just as the missiles struck, turning herself into a parachute so they would survive the impact with the ocean and calmed them down quickly and sharply from their panicking. With Helen as a boat, Dash as the propeller, and Violet sitting uselessly, the three of them got to the shore of Nomanisan Island and found shelter in a cave.
Inside, Helen told the two of them the sobering facts of the situation, that they would likely be killed if they were caught and to stay hidden while she rescued Bob. She gave her two children facemasks as well, telling them to protect their identity. As Helen left, Violet went after her to apologize for her failure on the plane, but Helen assured her that it wasn't her fault--and that she would know what to do with her powers when the time came.
While Violet practiced her forcefields, Dash decided to explore the cave--and discovered rather suddenly that it was actually the exhaust shaft for a rocket, and the two of them were forced to flee into the jungle. The next morning, they were discovered by the mooks guarding the island and forced to flee. Violet went invisible and ordered Dash to flee, which he did spectacularly. She nearly took out the henchman herself with a stick but dropped her invisibility too soon, and was forced to hide in the water when he started shooting again. Dash arrived back just then but though quick, his nine-year-old punches weren't very effective and he was knocked back. Just as the henchman picked up his gun and pulled the trigger, Violet leapt out with a forcefield that deflected the bullets from her brother effortlessly.
The two of them fled through the jungle until they ran into (or more accurately ran over) their parents. Reunited, the family fought off henchmen until the arrival of Syndrome: the criminal mastermind who had duped and nearly killed Bob. Capturing the family with ease, he imprisoned them in an electrical field in front of a screen that would force him to watch his handiwork: launching the intelligent and deadly Omnidroid at the city, letting it terrorize the populace, and then flying in and "saving the day" to elevate himself to be a superhero.
As Bob began a heartfelt apology to his family for his recklessness and inability to let go of the past, Violet decided to experiment with her forcefields again and used them to break out of the electrical field, freeing her family. The four of them launched themselves back home with Syndrome's backup rocket, and arrived in the city not long after Syndrome's droid had rebelled against him and shot away the remote that had been controlling it. After a brief argument between Bob and Helen, the Omnidroid arrived on the scene and attacked Dash and Violet. Violet was able to hold it off briefly with her shields, but its prolonged assault broke them and stunned her. They were swiftly rescued by their parents, fortunately, and then joined by Frozone. The five superheroes battled the robot without success until the discovery of the abandoned remote... and then began passing it between themselves while they tried figuring it out while having to keep it away from the single-minded robot. Finding its severed claw, Bob aimed it while Helen fired it, piercing the Omnidroid's computer core and stopping it at last.
With the threat of Syndrome eliminated, the Parrs were limoed back to their house, reciving assurances that the government would take care of things after their rather triumphant return to the public light. But it wasn't over--Syndrome had escaped and abducted Jack-Jack, and started flying back to his jet while the family frantically tried to think of something to do. Jack-Jack, meanwhile, began manifesting his powers. Panicking, Syndrome dropped him just as a quickly-hurled Helen grabbed him and turned into a parachute. When Syndrome tried to deliver a parting shot, Bob hurled a car at him, knocking him into his jet intake and causing a massive explosion as the wreckage crashed into the house. The family escaped injury, thanks to another quick forcefield by Vi.
As the family moved to another part of town and settled back into a "normal" routine--feeling much more comfortable with their daily lives and their powers--Violet relaxed more and began being more open and sociable. When a new villain, the Underminer, made himself known, the Incredibles once again went into action to defeat him.
So one day when walking home from a friend's house, Violet found herself being attacked by henchmen with a uniform she didn't recognize. Fleeing as best she could with normal clothes on over her supersuit, she wound up in an unfamiliar part of town. Although the house had an ominous look to it, she didn't see much of an option and slipped inside to hide.
Sample Third-Person Post:
Violet tried to gulp in air as quietly as she could as she ducked into the doorway of the huge house. She could hear the henchmen's voices as they moved through the trees, issuing orders, splitting up... getting closer. She looked down at her shirt; no time to undo the buttons and turn invisible so she could sneak away. They were moving too fast.
And she knew her forcefields weren't going to hold out forever, not against this many of them, without a chance of fighting back yet. I have to get away, she thought. Find a way to warn Mom and Dad... Dash! If they'd tracked her down, they might know where he was too.
She heard the snap of a twig and caught a glimpse of a gray-suited man edging out from behind a tree. The thought that this was a trap was heavy in her mind, but she didn't have a choice--she turned the unlocked handle and jumped inside just as he fired.
