Official Profile
copied from https://tpt.instructure.com/courses/29/pages/lucita-sky?module\_item\_id=552:

A natural born leader, Lucita Sky is one of the members of the Sparks' Crew. While gifted with the superpower of flight, she also deals with a fear of heights, and is still learning to balance her unique dilemma. With the support of her friends who will literally catch her when she falls, she has nothing to fear.
Lucita offers the same support, acting as a caring friend and with a strong sense of empathy that motivates her desire to help others and make the world a better place.
At home, Lucita is encouraged to always expand on what she knows. With a superhero family, that can mean a whole lot, but she's always up for the challenge. Bilingual in English and Spanish, you may occasionally find her switching between languages as she fires off new ideas or works con sus amigos a resolver un problema.
Personality
She admires Invisigirl, a fellow flyer that is one of her favorite superheroes.

Powers* **Flight**: Lucita can fly
	+ This is complicated by her acrophobia which causes her to faint and fall when she looks down from higher heights
	+ Maximum height is not known, but she imagines deflecting comets before they began to burn up in the atmosphere, implying she can go up the edge of space
	+ Maximum speed is not known, but she mentions "I'll fly up and spin at them at super-sonic speed" implying she can at least pivot at speeds higher than Mach One. In Turtle Beach her maximum speed is shown by whirling around ultra fast.
	+ She can not carry very much weight while flying. During The Right Stuff while wearing a suit of sponges that absorbs water, it is too heavy for her to lift off
	+ In A Leg Up she can use her legs to lift herself up and fly.
	+ she flies quietly, in contrast to AJ's jetpack which makes loud noises, a contrast highlighted in What You Don't See
	+ She can fly faster than anyone in Leaning Tower, No Pizza.

Skills* She is bilingual, speaking English and Spanish, for examples:
	+ In Hero Hideaway she replies "si, gracias"
	+ In Monster Hunters she says hasta luego (goodbye) to her papi (father)

Vulnerabilities* Hatching a Plan and other episodes indicates she might have vertigo.
* Mark Kennedy's Just 1st article describes her as "a kid who can fly but is afraid of heights".
	+ Kennedy interestingly does not specify Lucita's gender despite doing so for the three others ("a girl with the power to teleport and a boy who creates forcefields of bubbles" .. "a boy with an array of cool gadgets who is on the autism spectrum")

Trivia* Her [birthday] is March 9, making her a Pisces just like Benny. They both have Pisces traits like empathy and creativity.
