Sarah Malvolia

*"I am able to take anything that comes at me. It's mental strength. It's a genius-level intellect. Nothing upsets me. I will fight, verbally. I will stand my ground, but I will not be affected."*
—Sarah Malvolia to Jason Kade
**Sarah Malvolia** (née **Maine**), born **Sarah Akeldama** (**שרהחקל דמא**), is the founder and CEO of Carmine Incorporated. Sarah is a genius scientist who migrated from the island of Muspelheim to create a new life in the United States of America, and to also practice science. She befriended Jason Kade, who would become her good friend and lab assistant developer.

When Kade departed in October 2016, Sarah would later track him down and convince him to work with her once more. They would continue to conduct experiments together, although he would grow more inquisitive about her past. Shortly after her marriage to Damon Malvolia, she began to exhibit dark behavioral traits.

## Biography

### Early Life

Sarah Akeldama was born on July 16, 1996 to Sally and Aidan Akeldama on Muspelheim, an island off the coast of the United States of America. Sarah grew up in a large mansion since her family came from royalty. Her father was the King, and her mother the Queen. She had two siblings, Mary and Matt Akeldama. Her siblings possibly died from unknown circumstances, after being assumed dead after being gone for more than three years. From then on, Sarah grew up as an only child at age seven. In her youth, Sarah developed a makeshift laboratory in her garage, and her childhood friend Dean often visited this lab to communicate with her. She received an entire curriculum geared towards students like her young genius self.

She became acquainted with two brothers, Damon and Cassius Malvolia, but intimately acquainted with the former. The three would grow to be good friends.

After years of presiding in a dark mansion with no outside fun, she decided it was time to leave her home at age fifteen. One night, she gathered her bag of snacks and water, and clothes. She put it all in her backpack, and left a note about her absence. Quietly, she then raced out of her house and got past the guards, standing at arm in front of her mansion, by jumping from roof to roof, finally to see her friend Shay Woodland's house. Together, they got in a small boat in the pouring rain to find their new lives. They soon saw land, and when they arrived, they went to a local hotel and bought a suite for a week. Sarah took some extra cash for the both of them to buy new wardrobes for themselves, just as another upgrade as living in this new city.

Sarah viewed Americans as strange people, but ended up living with some of her mother's human friends. Sarah attended school, and "fell in love" with science class, and developed additional interests in aeronautics and bioinformatics during high school. Sarah and Shay both had different styles, but they got along very well. Both girls didn't join any cliques, because they were their own clique. When the time came for college, they both received scholarships to different schools. They both accepted their offers, and decided to see each other on weekends.

### Carmine Incorporated

After legally changing her surname to Maine, Sarah decided to open up her own shop to make her mark on the world.

#### Meeting Jason Kade

In the summer of 2015, Sarah hired a would-be college freshman named Jason Kade. She appointed him as an assistant developer for helping with projects and also formulating ideas for products.

The two grew close, sealing a good friendship. However, Jason did not react well to Sarah's homeland friends, namely Dean Bronx and Cassidy Clifford. Sarah sought to bring them closer together, but this was disrupted when Bronx drove home drunk once and broke his foot.

Sarah soon discovered that Jason was the Emerald City vigilante known as "The Almanac." She found him in his apartment bleeding out and saved his life, becoming his unofficial cut woman.

### Relocating Kade

In late June 2017, Sarah tracked down her old friend Jason Kade, and made amends with him. With that, she offered him his old position at the lab, and he accepted to explore further projects.

#### Marriage

Sarah married her boyfriend Damon Malvolia on Saturday, December 23, 2017.

#### Deception

Sarah faked the shutting down of Carmine Incorporated labs in order to covertly use her resources to redevelop her ethically challenged age acceleration chemicals so she may apply them for her pregnancy with Damon.

In doing so, she briefly disconnected with Kade while she was secretly catalyzing her baby's growth. At an unknown time, she gave birth to Emma Malvolia. Emma was growing up extremely fast, and Sarah and Damon exercised her common sense.

## Personality

*"Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction - in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow."*
—Sarah Malvolia quoting Heinrich Rohrer
Sarah is an ambitious, intelligent, persistent and charismatic scientist and businesswoman. She is highly motivated to achieve more success and is willing to work extremely hard to get what she wants. She also describes herself as outgoing. It is also obvious that Sarah is methodical and fervent about her scientific practices.

Sarah is a brave person for defying her father's wishes of preserving her regal status and instead pursuing a life as a science and tech mogul. Her father's government does not have much use for women who are consorting with "the devils" of Western capitalism.

According to Scarlett, Sarah has a tendency to use humor to put down those around her whom she cannot relate to. She rarely offers second chances.

## Physical Appearance

Sarah has blonde hair and blue eyes, standing at 5'8".

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

*"That girl is the most powerful superhuman I've ever seen."*
—Scarlett Evans
* **Magic:** Sarah is a practitioner of magic. She keeps a spell book in the library of her mansion on Muspelheim. Sarah's magic abilities mainly pertain to telekinesis, mental manipulation, healing, controlling fire, and alchemy.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Through magic, Sarah has the power to move objects and people in her line of sight at will with her mind. She can stop, launch, crush and exert force on physical objects without touching them to move and otherwise influence them. She demonstrated this by moving objects at will and even suspending people in mid-air. This appears as levitation and immobilization; Sarah can notably throw people at walls and choke people into submission to gain information, or summon an object by directing her hand towards it. By 2018, Sarah became able to suspend multiple people in the air, but doing so visibly strained her. At certain points, her irises gain a red discoloration from anger (possibly due to extremely low levels of melanin allowing her blood vessels to show through).
	+ **Mind Control:** Through verbal commands, Sarah is able to impose her will onto another. She can compel others to do her bidding, and accomplishes this through penetrating their neural tissue.
	+ **Healing:** Sarah can heal wounds through her mind or physical contact, shown by when she reversed Jason Kade's stab wounds and removed a bullet, both wounds caused by Cassius Malvolia.
	+ **Fire Manipulation:** Through magic, Sarah is able to manipulate fire. She can use control over fire to project it willingly in the form of concussive blasts. These blasts are hard enough to burn through solid structures, including melting through ten inches/25 centimeters of reinforced steel, with a thermal output measuring over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit/3300 degrees Celsius. Her daughter Emma Malvolia inherited her powerful pyrokinetic abilities.
	+ **Alchemy:** Sarah combined science, chemistry and magic to conjure the age acceleration chemical and the resurrection solution.
* **Superhuman Strength:** Sarah can use superhuman strength in times of need, enough to smash a gun in half with ease.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Sarah was able to catch the wires of a Taser shot at her and telekinetically reverse the polarity of the charge, at a speed of 122.73 MPH.

### Abilities

*"I'm always right."*
—Sarah Malvolia
* **Genius-Level Intellect:** The word "genius" is a very specific term that applies to only .001% of the Earth's population (approximately 75,000 people), however, Sarah defies categorization. Sarah, as the lead scientist for Carmine Incorporated, is a phenomenally intelligent, eclectic, prolific, highly-credentialed and world-renowned supergenius research scientist with a sharp, bright and brilliant mind focused on science, astro-navigation, engineering, medicine, business, mathematics, social interaction and professional communication. She has a remarkable brain, with a massively capacious mind and superior left hemisphere, neocortex, Broca's area, cerebrum and prefrontal cortex. She is thus a hallmark of the Akeldama family, and would presumably test in an extremely high percentile on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Kaufman test or the Wechsler Intelligence Scale. She possesses numerous advanced degrees, accolades, countless patents, and is known for her quick learning and thinking. Her mental performance is beyond human potential, thus allowing her mind to operate in the most efficient and rapid manner possible. Some manifestation of this is her exceptionally perfect charisma, eloquence, business skills and scientific genius. She is virtually the smartest individual from Muspelheim, and is thus considered a genius by other national standards. Jason Kade often came to her with science-based inquiries due to her scientific literacy, much to her displeasure. Indeed, Sarah identifies herself to be peerless in regards to intelligence, possibly due to humans not using 100% of their brain (where the greatest supercomputer in the world resides). Furthermore, she claims to always be right. Under Sarah's guidance, her daughter Emma Malvolia would rapidly cultivate her common sense, despite being a toddler. While she is an advanced telekinetic, her powers are nothing compared to her power of limitless thought and intellect. Hence, other superhumans are not a threat for an intellect of her magnitude.
	+ **Master Scientist:** Sarah is a highly distinguished super-genius scientist, ingeniously resourceful, brilliant and knowledgeable in a vast array of scientific fields, particularly aeronautics and bioinformatics, but also including physics, chemistry, biology, genetics, neuroscience, and computer science. With Bachelor's degrees in arts and applied sciences as well as a Master's in chemistry, Sarah is also an adept chemist; in 2015, Sarah's knowledge of biology allowed her to concoct a serum that would accelerate one's age, effectively turning her infant adoptive son Michael Clifford into a grown man in a matter of months. When Caroline Robustelli died, Sarah created the Resurrection Solution, the first experimental medication capable of resuscitating the dead. Her revolutionary work at Carmine Incorporated is almost futuristic in terms of complexity.
	+ **Master Engineer:** Sarah is an extremely competent mechanical genius, computer scientist, computer programmer, cryptographer and robotics technician, a wunderkind prodigy as a child. As an adult, Sarah went on to earn doctorates in mechanical engineering and advanced robotics, allowing her to design many sophisticated and advanced weapons, i.e. successfully weaponizing carbon dioxide for V.I.C.K., argon gas for D.A.S.K., and a combination of calcium and radium for C.A.R.A..
	+ **Master Tactician:** Sarah is also a tactical genius, being familiar with *The Art of War* and Machiavellian principles of political strategy.
	+ **Expert Businesswoman:** Sarah is a highly credentialed oligarchical businesswoman, as she managed to successfully found and lead Carmine Incorporated and gradually transform it into a cutting-edge, highly futuristic technology giant and weapons manufacturer. She is the youngest marketing genius and CEO of a Fortune 500 company in history, and has helped the company grow and gain more business partners, with Carmine eventually becoming one of the largest technology conglomerates in the world. Sarah is also a phenomenally skilled and brilliantly talented leader, becoming the youngest person ever to be included in Fortune's list of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders, due to her spearheading Carmine Incorporated with consistently tremendous effectiveness.
	+ **Expert Mathematician:** Sarah is a genius mathematician with superior calculating abilities for engineering and stoichiometry due to her superior cerebrum (the area of the brain that does math). She was thus able to effortlessly measure Damon Malvolia's superhuman speed (greater than the speed of light). Kade estimated that Sarah could solve the Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap, an unsolved math problem, the answer of which would be a new mathematical concept altogether.
	+ **Expert Hacker:** Sarah, as a prolific computer scientist and programmer, is an immensely formidable henius hacker and cryptographer, notable for her phenomenal skills of intelligence gathering and data interpretation, her ability to hack into most computer systems without tripping any firewalls or security, as well as her superb pattern recognition and analysis skills, with Sarah therefore being able to pick up on patterns others do not notice.
	+ **Expert Cryptographer:** Sarah is a very skilled cryptographer, firewall designer and password creator. Her computer passwords are so advanced the point that the combined efforts of Kade and Mitchell Cross could not decipher them. She presumably gives her most secret designs the utmost protective security on her computers.
	+ **Expert Social Intuit:** Sarah is a very outspoken humanist, with a high degree of social confidence, allowing her to intuitively determine how to interact with others, gain their respect and get her point across with a calmness, eloquence, and charisma. She can be a very capable hostess with good manners and charm. As a result, Sarah remains extremely well-respected not only by her employees at Carmine Incorporated, but even by most politicians and the general public.
	+ **Expert Deceiver:** Sarah is extremely skilled in deception. She managed to hide her superhuman physical attributes (strength, speed) for years, and was able to fool the scientific community that Carmine Incorporated was shut down, as well as the likes of the deceptively experienced Jason Kade that he had lost his job, while in truth, she was using her resources to further develop her age acceleration chemicals to catalyze her pregnancy of Emma Malvolia.
	+ **Expert Physician:** Sarah possesses advanced medical training and in-depth knowledge of human anatomy, enough to qualify as a medical doctor and to serve as Jason Kade's cut woman in his early days of vigilantism. She avoided the field of medicine to prevent awkward physicals with her friends. Her knowledge of health is on par with the likes of Scarlett Evans, a highly distinguished professional physician, doctor and surgeon, though she is slightly surpassed. With their combined expertise of medicine and biology, the two came close to developing a healing drug for Kade.
	+ **Expert Criminologist:** Sarah is an extremely skilled criminologist, as it was one of her primary studies, since she has great insight into and understanding of criminals and their mindsets, which allows her to understand how Kade consistently overpowers and undermines their operations. She is considered to be on par with Catherine Layton.
	+ **Expert Literarian:** Sarah has encyclopedic knowledge of various literary works.
	+ **Expert Mythologist:** TBA
	+ **Expert Historian:** TBA
	+ **Expert Networker:** Sarah, as the CEO of Carmine Incorporated, has access to resources of her own multi-billion dollar corporation for science and information gathering. She is privy to numerous informational back channels and superbly uses a dense network of professional and social contacts to further both her business and scientific ambitions, having contacts in areas such as the Medical Examiner's office, the DMV and phone companies. This allows her to keep updated on the happenings in Emerald City and Neo Arcadia, such as when Jason Kade's dual identity began spreading in January 2018.
	+ **Multilingualism:** Sarah's superior Broca's area (language center of the brain) greatly improves her abilities of language acquisition, enabling her to speak numerous languages. She speaks her native English, Spanish (through the help of Rosetta Stone, German, French, Japanese, Italian, Latin, BASIC (a computer programming language) and several more. This is useful for communicating with foreign business partners. Sarah can also pull off convincing accents with her respective tongues.
* **Indomitable Will:** Sarah's tremendous determination and strength of will allowed her to turn Carmine Incorporated into a leading defense contractor, a cutting-edge Fortune 500 technology giant (in a fantastic, what some call a superhuman business feat). An extremely driven and determined person, Sarah constantly refuses to allow accidents or mishaps to interfere with her plans, regardless of severity.
