Emily Palmer

Emily Palmer, nicknamed Starlet, is a famous actress living in the city of Neo Metroville. While best known for her roles in movies, she also has a life as a member of the Project Cape Initiative, where she uses her lightbending and empathic powers in order to help train the Initiative's young heroes.
Starlet hails from the Project Cape franchise, making her debut in its inaugural game.
==Appearance==
Emily has a rather slender build for a woman her age, standing at 5 foot 10 inches (considerably taller than average). One of her most notable features is her eyes, which have blue pupils and a particularly striking shine. She has blonde hair, which she styles into a bang covering her right eye. She also wears a blue headband with a star-shaped clip.
Her usual outfit (which she wears both in public and during her superhero work) consists of a light blue crop top with a star symbol (revealing her navel), which is covered by a blue unbuttoned jacket. She also wears blue leggings and blue slip-on shoes to complete the outfit.
==Personality==
Emily is a confident and determined woman, often remaining cool in the face of danger and being unwilling to give up even in the most dire of circumstances. She often adopts a similar attitude towards her allies, being supportive towards them and helping to mediate intense situations. As such, she is seen as somewhat of a leader among her colleagues, at least when circumstances lead her to take such a role.
Emily is also naturally charming, which is owed to a combination of her charismatic personality, her physical beauty, and her abilities. This leads to her being able to befriend and work alongside most people, as well as manipulate others when needed. Despite these traits, though, Emily's behavior is mostly genuine, being rather kind and generous towards allies and those who otherwise don't pose a threat to her or aren't considered enemies/targets. When interacting with those she targets, she tends to play up her charms in order to win over the target (becoming noticeably flirty if the target is male), often employing her empathic abilities or acting skills to great effect.
However, Emily's fatal flaw is her own ego. While she doesn't look down upon anyone in particular, Emily tends to crave the spotlight as a byproduct of her acting career, leading to her pulling off flashy or risky moves in an attempt to capture the attention of those around her. In addition, she can become a bit of a diva if she feels upstaged or overly ignored. In short, Emily enjoys the attention she gets as both an actress and superhero, and is sometimes unable to resist the urge to get some more time in the spotlight.
==Abilities==
*Light Generation/Manipulation: Starlet is able to emit and control a natural light, which she can then use for a variety of purposes. She can release this light in the form of rays or orbs, or cause it to radiate around her body.
**Illumination: Starlet can use her light to illuminate dark areas.
**Beam Projectiles: Starlet can project beams or concentrated light which serve as damaging projectiles capable of inflicting burns. Starlet can amplify the power of her beams by charging them, with her strongest beams being able to damage brick.
**Blinding: Starlet's light can temporarily blind opponents at their strongest, with the effect usually lasting for about five minutes at max.
**Strobe Effect: By flashing light at a rapid pace, Starlet can create a strobe light which nauseates its targets, inducing vertigo and/or vomiting.
*"Spotlights": With any of her light-based abilities, Starlet can create a magical sort of light which she has dubbed "spotlights". These spotlights cause the attention of anyone within the vicinity of them to become focused on whatever it shines upon, putting them in a sort of trance. While the effect can be broken by making physical contact with the spotlights' victim, it can also end naturally if the spotlight is prolonged.
**"Glamourous Gaze": Starlet can emit a special, focused version of a spotlight from her eyes, with the whites of her eyes becoming a deep blue as she does so. This captivating stare can only capture one person at a time, but the effects of the trance are more intense, with Starlet becoming irresistible to the victim. As a result, Starlet is able to have her thrall follow her commands or induce suggestions into their brain. The victim is kept within the trance for as long as Starlet can maintain eye contact with them or they are currently carrying out one of her orders, after which they will return to Starlet. As a limiter, Starlet can only have one victim carry out so many commands and/or manipulate them so much before they become temporarily immune to the Glamourous Gaze.
*Empathic Acting: While Starlet possesses natural acting talent, she has the ability to induce certain emotions into those around her with the way she acts. For example, Starlet shedding fake tears can induce sadness into those who witness it, while Starlet displaying confidence can boost the morale of witnesses.
==History==
From a young age, Emily felt attracted to the world of showbiz. Enlisting in drama classes at school, she gained a reputation as a "drama queen" and became a sort of gossip for her school. As soon as she graduated from college, she made her way from the United Kingdom to America in order to pursue an acting career.
However, upon gaining a moderately successful career, Emily discovered various instances of corruption within the industry behind the scenes. Feeling upset and disillusioned with this reality, it was then when she discovered her various superhuman abilities, which she used to charm corrupt producers and others into changing their ways for the better. As soon as her childhood friend Vanessa let slip that she was starting a program for young superheroes, Emily quickly volunteered to help train the heroes under the name Starlet.
Now, Starlet has worked superheroics into her public image, being one of the most respected public heroes in Neo Metroville (although part of that can be owed to her previous fame as an actress). She continues work in the acting field, with her incredible theatrics continuing to win the hearts of her audiences.

==Trivia==
*Starlet went through two alternative designs before her final was decided upon.
**The first of Starlet's designs lacked her bang, gave her high heels as opposed to slip-on shoes, and focused on lighter colors. This design was ultimately scrapped for resembling Emma Frost of Marvel fame too closely.
**The second of Starlet's designs is mostly the same as the final, but lacked the bang (which was added to add depth to the character). This was jokingly referred to as the "Rosalina design" for a short time, owing to the resemblance to Rosalina from the Super Mario series.
*Starlet's personality was partially based on that of Mettaton from UNDERTALE, which is referred to in one of her alternate colors in Project Cape.
*Starlet has a habit of calling people pet names such as "darling". However, these names are purely meant platonically on Starlet's end.
