> "I may wield my grandfather's sword and carry on my grandmother's legacy, but I'm still finding my own path as Flameblazer. It's not always easy, but I'll keep fighting, with fire in my heart and a sword in my hand, to protect those in need and live up to the hero I aspire to be."

## Physical & Personality Description

She is first shown to have brown hair, when in reality her hair is a fiery red hair that flows in waves around her shoulders, reminiscent of her grandmother's Firebrand persona. Her eyes are a bright bronze, almost yellow. Allison has a fair complexion with a few scattered freckles across her cheeks, giving her a youthful and spirited look.

Allie grapples with a complex web of insecurities that stem from the enormous shoes she's expected to fill as the descendant of legendary superheroes. To shield herself from vulnerability, she has crafted a façade of apparent bubbly exuberance. Her humour and charm serve as a shield against her inner struggles, allowing her to navigate social situations and interactions more comfortably. However, this masking often causes a divide between her authentic self and the persona she presents to the world. Beneath the surface, Allie's genuine kindness and empathy shine through. Despite her internal battles, she never loses sight of the values instilled by her grandmother and grandfather. Her compassion for others is not just an act; it's a core part of who she is. As time goes on, Allie's journey takes her through a process of self-discovery and growth. Her insecurities gradually begin to recede, allowing her authentic self to emerge more prominently. She develops a newfound confidence that is both empowering and inspiring. This evolution doesn't erase her bubbly personality, but instead enriches it with depth and authenticity.

## History

Growing up, Allie was immersed in the rich history of her family's heroic legacy. Her grandmother, Danette, was a renowned fire-wielding super heroine, and her grandfather, Sir Justin, was a valiant knight who fought for justice with his enchanted sword. Inspired by their tales of heroism, Allie developed a deep admiration for their courage and selflessness.

### Year 1

The Atomic Flash brings her into the Justice Lords, for training and turning her into a full-fledged hero at the behest of Danette Reilly.

### Year 2

In Wave 2 she finally accepts her legacy as a 2nd generation hero and rebrands herself as Firebrand.

### Year 3

Her arc, involves her figuring how she can help more people and make sure Earth is better protected from outside invasions. At the end of Wave 3 Allie leaves the Justice Lords and is recruited by the D.O.A (Department of Alien Investigation).

### Year 4

As D.O.A Agent, she works under the Codename Starblazer and still helps the Justice Lords by supplying them with information, having grown into a confident woman. Due to her job, Starblazer comes in contact with Street Force, becoming a temporary member in their efforts to defeat Brainiac. Allison starts a relationship with JJ Kent, who also has recently become a member of Street Force.

## Powers

She displays the flame projection ability like her grandmother to a lesser extent. Allie can generate fire, usually in the form of "fireblast" and "bolts of flame" using the magic sword (of the Shining Knight) as a conduit. She's impervious to fire, heat, and could survive any heat-induced physical harm, through the enchanted armour belonging to her grandfather.

One of Allison's most prominent features is the sword that she wields, which once belonged to her grandfather, Sir Justin the Shining Knight. The sword has a golden hilt and a blade that seems to flicker with an inner flame, further adding to her fiery aesthetic as Flameblazer.
