Liberty made her first appearance in the previous book *Heroes Ultimate* and made her video game debut in *Heroes United* via DLC which follows the event of *Heroes Ultimate*.

## Concept & Creation

Creator of Heroes series, Cappy, began to read and watch mangas and anime when he was having quality time with his brother and father. After watching animes *Dragon Ball Super*, *My Hero Academia* and *Soul Eater*, he decided to make a character that is critically based on Japanese culture, particularly anime. The new character was going to be named Pandora but was changed to Liberty, meaning the definition of freedom, justice and prejudice, hence her favorite holiday the 4th of July. He also want to make this 'Liberty' character the new protagonist after Jason since most mangas and animes (particularly Shonen) have less female protagonists, especially those without any fighting spirit. Though there are some that does have fighting spirit such as Chie Satonaka, Maka Albarn, Ryuko Matoi and Ruby Rose.

Cappy got the name "Liberty" from real life sisters Tommy and Liberty from the discontinued YouTube channel SevenAwesomeKids (or SAKs for short). In designing her, Cappy decided to make her look like that of a Japanese icon to where she wears a sailor outfit, inspired by the likes of Haruhi Suzumiya and Ryuko Matoi since they wear sailor outfits that makes them 'iconic'.

## Personality

Liberty has a very typical teenage girl personality, as she is most of the time happy, energetic, cheerful, positive, hard-working and focused. She has a strong spirit and a very determined attitude in life, either in studies or trains in martial arts. She sees Jason as an idol since she always watched him fight and mirrors herself on his lifestyle and philosophies. She even imitates his special abilities.

By any means, Liberty is an upbeat, fiery, spirited, plucky and spunky girl. She is comical and clumsy as well but she doesn't let that stop her from improving. She is witty, bold and brave while also curious looking for new ways to learn. Liberty is a very friendly girl who is sweet, kind, gentle, caring and trusting who loves to have fun.

Liberty also has a massive fondness for food, between Yapanese and Camperian food. She loves to eat alot of ramen noodles, sushi, onigiri, jiggly cake, perogies, french fries, french toast, donut rolls, fruit jello, pasta salad and brown rice. However, her favorite meals are ramen noodles, french toast and pasta salad, with extra salted french fries. The 4 meals that she loves originated from the restaurant Kitsune's Mealhouse.
