Firebrandi

Firebrandi was a popular super heroine from Paragon City that now calls Angel Falls home. She is well recognized by her diminutive size, and sparkling personality. She is also one of the Founding members of the Guardians.
== Background ==
Early in life Brandi experience being the target of much bullying.  Being rather small, and a redhead made her a natural target.  She learned to fight back, even when she had little chance of winning.  The bullies thought she was a little too 'wild' to mess with, so moved on to easier targets.  After the suffering she had been through at their hands, and inspired by the many heroes in her world, she naturally started to come to the defence of the bullies new targets.
Brandi's powers manifested in her early teens. Her first reaction was "Wow, cool!" Living in a world with plenty of superheroes her career choice seemed obvious. Long hours were spent learning to use her powers effectively. Her education was not neglected, and was geared toward studies that would benefit her powers. Understanding what materials gave off toxic smoke, what was explosive, understanding structures and how structural damage can affect them. She came to be a well respected hero in Paragon City. In recent time the criminal Kim Paler used stolenportal technology to explore other dimensions. FireBrandi was sent to stop whatever plan she had. This brought her to Angel Falls. She found the city very much to her liking, and even chose to set up residence after befriending some of the local heroes. She still returns to Paragon to keep up with events there, but now is an unofficial liaison between the two cities. She has found employment as a lab assistant in AF University.  When the Guardians were founded she eagerly signed up.  
== Perssonality ==
FireBrandi is very easygoing, wisecracking, and sarcastic. She has no time for angst, just for getting the job done, because helping people is more important than any distaste for who you have to work with, or some of the methods used. For example she has worked with criminals in stopping alien invasions and attempts to alter history. FireBrandi is rather fearless, rushing into battle when she is needed, and not likely to leave anyone behind if there is a chance to rescue them. This has led hear to be on a first name basis with many emergency medical teams around the city. She is not stupid when going into battle, just not one to give up when people are counting on her.  She is also very protective of her friends.
Outside of heroing she enjoys (very!) spicy foods, video games, and a good book.
