Neon Queen (Hisako Ayashi)

It seemed like fate when Hisako Ayashi received her powers in a classroom experiment gone wrong. It felt like a blessing to be growing up in a world where superheroes exist, and now that she has her own set of superpowers, she can be a model to younger generations... if she can keep her temper in check.

## Appearance

Hisako is 5'4, weighs 115 lbs, lightly tanned skin, shoulder-length bleached hair, slim body, and silver eyes. She also has small burn scars from the day she received her powers on her arms.

## Weapons/Equipment

* **Cherry Blossom Communicator Necklace:** Developed and given to by her father, Hisako is able to communicate with people with foreign languages, such as English, as she is unable to talk in any other language except Japanese. The necklace also emits an odour (the cherry blossom), however it is engineered to allow foreign people to talk to her. Once the other person smells it, they can understand her permanently.

## Personality

Hisako is a curious person by nature, leading her to ask questions ranging from the most general to personal, the latter which annoys the person she's talking to most of the time. She's also a bit of a tomboy, as she hung out with boys most of the time. She isn't quick to trust people easily. Hisako can be a bit of a stubborn person sometimes. She was taught by her mother to keep calm at all times, though sometimes she forgets about it. Hisako will reject any flirtatious advancement towards her, resulting in her verbally berating or slapping the flirter.

## History

Hisako Ayashi was born in Tokyo, Japan. As a young girl and even to this day, she had always idolised superheroes. She lived in Japan for some of her life, until moving to the United States of America a few years later, specifically in New York, where she attends Midtown Science High. Nothing exciting has happened since the move, until almost 3 years ago.

It was a simple class exercise, where each student would be assessed on how well they can conduct an experiment from a pre-set list chosen by the teacher. It all went wrong for Hisako, causing a minor explosion in which she was covered in the chemicals she was working with. Someone sitting close to her had also been splashed by the chemicals as well, leaving small non-severe burns on his skin as well as Hisako, so both students were sent to the med-bay to clean themselves up.

Hisako was cleaned up, though not without some small burns left by the chemicals, while the other was waiting to get patched up. Hisako walked to the boy also with small burns, asking if he was okay, unintentionally making skin-on-skin contact via each other's arms, which then healed the boy's burns as the two were conversing. The nurse was surprised seeing the boy having no burn marks on his skin, as she had seen him come in with them. The boy and Hisako were just as surprised as the nurse, and soon went back to class. Everything was back to normal, but Hisako had many questions. How had the boy's skin healed? Did he have superpowers? Or did she have superpowers herself?

Although she decided against it, Hisako revealed her powers to her parents. Her father, Rokuda, was ecstatic but hesitant, as well as her mother Maki, to let her out into the world... till they met a man with electric powers, who was also Hisako's idol ever since she moved to America, agreeing to train her how to defend herself and teach her the ways of being a superhero...
