Mirror is a power copying, shape-shifting villain that's only ever looking out for one person - herself. That means, getting as rich and powerful as possible. Mirror's goals are simple, as long as she's on top, nothing else matters.

## About

Cunning, deceptive, and manipulative, Mirror can be a force to be reckoned with. It's hard to trust anything she says. When she's not outright lying, Mirror's playing with the loosest version of the truth possible. Apparently amoral, she's never above taking advantage of another if it benefits her.

She's also a massive flirt, relishing in the ability of her advances to throw others off their feet. Mirror finds joy in combining her powers with her flirtations, particularly if she's taken on the appearance of the person she is flirting with.

During her partnership with Smoke, Mirror broke into various AEGIS facilities, stealing a variety of tech. Under the guise of sharing Smoke's motives of liberating dangerous technology in an effort to create effective countermeasures, Mirror actually sold the technology to the highest bidders. She's not above stealing from her clients either, having joined Smoke in breaking into Bishop facilities. Before AEGIS apprehended her, Mirror was working with Bishop, at least on the surface.

Her true identity is unknown, though she presumably goes by both Alissa Kellman and Alissa Vance.

## Appearance

When she hasn't taken on the appearance of someone else, Mirror appears as a pale, dark haired girl with green eyes. Mirror's expression is almost always pulled into a coy smirk, eyes narrowed like she's aware of a secret she shouldn't know. Other times, her expression is a strange combination of highly amused and yet not amused at all.

Her personal wardrobe consists of dark mix of punk, emo, and goth oriented attire. Usually a lot of jackets with metal studs, or spikes, midriff exposing shirts, skirts, and tights, along with boots or skate shoes.

As Mirror, she wears an almost featureless white suit with grey and purple accents. This is finished off with a mirrored helmet, an addition by request because Mirror found the affect it would have amusing.

## Powers and Abilities

Mirror is capable of both copying another person's appearance, as well as their powers should they have any. While possessing a talented control over these abilities, she's enhanced them with a power-suit given to her by Smoke.

### Power Mimicry

Mirror is capable of mimicking the superpowers of any individual within her line of sight. Once done, the powers are hers to wield - within a limited time frame. This ability extends only to the powers themselves and not the level of control an individual might have over them. Mirror is also incapable of copying any learned skills, so while she may be able to get super strong, she won't be as skilled as a super strong fighter. Normally, Mirror can only mimic and hold a single power at a time, her suit however enhances her into holding and using more.

### Shape-shifting

Like her ability to copy powers, Mirror can also take on another person's appearance. She possesses a greater deal of control over this power, being able to borrow a person's appearance down to very significant details like their voice, and even their fingerprints. Maintaining such fine adjustments requires a lot of focus, and Mirror has exhibited having trouble with them. Her suit augments this ability once more, giving Mirror access to a database of people she can mimic.

## **Relationships**

### Smoke

As Smoke, Kenneth Ribaldi was Mirror's former partner. How they met and started working together is relatively unknown. They appear to have shared a close bond, even if Mirror was mostly playing along for her own benefit. This relationship came to an end after she betrayed him to Bishop, and has since been further shattered by her selling off his part in their robberies to AEGIS. Mirror refers to him as 'Kenny'.

### ???

Before being taken in by AEGIS, Mirror was seeing someone special.

### Hayeli

Mirror has a contentious relationship with Hayeli, who appears to not like her much. However, the two work together to some degree, such as when Hayeli helped her break out of prison while Big Team was breaking out Smoke.

### Bolt

Mirror finds Bolt amusing and cute. She thinks he's a bit of a hothead, and can get a little too in over his head. She relishes the reactions she gets whenever she's flirted with him, and wouldn't forgo another chance to toy with the boy.

### Cypher

Another form Mirror has taken while selling tech to her clients, Cypher's already shaky reputation has made this another of Mirror's favorite appearances to take. Also she's cute, and Mirror enjoys being cute.

### Jackal

Jackal is one of Mirror's favorite appearances to take on when she's conducting her business. She enjoys the fact that she can seemingly get under the girl's skin and draw her into brasher action. Also cute.
