## Biography

### Early life and teen years

Born under the name **Tia Mason**, the girl who would come to be known as Ava Clancy was born on August 23, 1999 in New York City, New York. Her mother, an FBI agent named Emma Mason, was impregnated with Tia after being molested by a serial rapist. However, her birth mother gave the child up for adoption, feeling too incompetent to be a mother. As a result, Lindsey was adopted by American missionaries Dona and Kenneth Clancy. The child's name was changed to **Ava Clancy**.

Throughout her childhood and teen years, Ava was a tomboy, hanging out with young boys and having a strange aversion towards normal "girly" activities. She was also quite a rebel in high school, going out to party during times when she should have been studying for high school tests.

She graduated high school in 2016.

### Participation in the Turkish Conflict

Ava participated in the Second War on the Babylon Coalition, where she encountered the Order of Taurus alongside Edward Maglio and several other friends. She also developed a rivalry against Gulsu Kivanc, a member of the Order of Taurus. This rivalry soon died down following an unexpected act of kindness from Ava to Gulsu, and by the conclusion of the conflict, Gulsu and Ava went from bitter enemies to good friends.

### Joining the military

Following the end of summer vacation, rather than go to college directly, Ava instead enlisted in the United States Army, serving in the 34th Infantry Division, AKA the Red Bulls, as a sniper. She then spent half a year participating in Operation Inherent Resolve, training Kurdish militia fighters to fight ISIS. In 2018, she was abruptly transferred to the 1st Infantry Division of the US Army and deployed to Afghanistan, where she spent another half year. Unlike the last one, in Afghanistan Ava saw combat; during a patrol in the Afghan Mountains, her unit fell victim to an ambush by the Taliban. A firefight ensued, leading to many US Army personnel dead or wounded. In a valiant rescue effort, Ava was able to use a sniper rifle to provide cover fire until a rescue team arrived. However, Ava's sniper team eventually fell victim to a separate ambush by the Taliban while attempting to exfiltrate the area. In the ensuing gunfight, nearly her entire team was wiped out, save for Ava and her friend Chanda Davis. Ava was soon injured during a hand to hand fight with a Taliban fighter that was assaulting Chanda, resulting in her being honorably discharged from the military.

After leaving the military, Ava enrolled in St. Bernard's Univerisity in St. Louis, Missouri, where she started studying Computer Science.

### Meeting Edward

During a college visit to Evergreen Institute, Ava met a young man named Edward Maglio. The two were at first timid towards each other, but eventually grew to become friends. Edward, in particular, gradually developed a crush on Ava, but as of 2020, neither of them have officially entered into a relationship.

### Campaign against Fu Zedong

While Ava didn't personally participate in the Campaign against Fu Zedong at first, she did relay a story to Edward regarding St. Bernard University having a phase where cheating ran rampant and nearly no one got caught for a whole semester. Edward expressed doubts as to how such a morally objectionable act could go on unpunished for so long. Ava blamed it on poor accountability systems. She later participated in a massive brawl against the Babylon Coalition and the Gods of Darkness.

### Becoming a superhuman

During the 2019-2020 School Year, Ava competed alongside Edward Maglio and many others in a Bingo game hosted by Evergreen Institute's Chair of Student Involvement. She and Edward both won a box of Wonder Cola and celebrated by drinking the Wonder Cola. After a long night, they went to bed. When she awoke the next morning, she found that she, alongside Edward and the others who drank the Wonder Cola, were gifted with superpowers.

### War on the Eternals

While Ava didn't participate in the War on the Eternals' Venezuelan Front, she did participate in the Bolivian Front of the conflict. Specifically, she conducted cyber-attacks against the Eternals' ability to recruit new members online by launching DDOS attacks using Low Orbit Ion Cannon.

## Personal details

### Personality

Ava is a quiet but strong-willed woman; she comes across as an introvert, but once someone knows her well enough she can be their best friend. This was first demonstrated with Gulsu Kivanc; the two women became close friends after Ava decided to open up about her life to Gulsu.

### Physical appearance

Ava is a tall blonde girl with blue-green eyes. Her eyes will appear blue under certain lighting conditions and green in others. She is 5'6" and weighs 125 lbs.

### Habits and beliefs

Ava Clancy is somewhat introverted, although she's willing to make exceptions for certain people. She is good friends with Edward Maglio, although they do not see eye to eye on everything (ex: Ava believes that the six days of creation in Book of Genesis in the Bible were meant to be read literally, while Edward believes there's room for a possibility that the six days of Creation were figurative).
Ava is a Messianic Jew; her reading of the Bible and the Torah has led her to believe that there is no question that Jesus Christ Himself fulfilled the meaning of the Jewish feasts and holidays, and is convinced that celebrating them is a means of remembering how Jesus Christ fulfilled them.
She is critical of the King James Only Movement, believing that King James Onlyism is a cult that seeks to destroy the credibility of the church by forcing people to abandon how the Bible was supposed to be read and trade it for a "man-made substitute". It is for this reason that she is convinced that those who believe in King James Onlyism are not "real Christians".
