## History

### Early Life

Zoya was born on June 7, 2011 on planet Earth as the firstborn child of Layla Bennett, born into the Bennett Bloodline, two minutes before her brother, Zane. As a twin member of the Bennett Bloodline, Zoya inherited the coveted pyrokinetic abilities of one member of the twins in her family.

She grew up with Tyrone Toretto, and from a strong friendship, quickly fell in love with him, describing him as the most selfless, caring and noble person she's ever met. This makes her believe in him enough for him to become a member of their team, to try and get him to missions for him to accomplish his dreams as she is very supportive of him.

## Personality

Zoya is a confident, strong and independent girl with a smart streak. She loves to have fun, and is very considerate, as she helps Tyrone on several occasion get to missions. She has shown to always be able to defend her family whenever it comes to it and is willing to do anything to protect them. She also believes in doing what's right, as she is an extraordinary superhero, as described by her "the shield" of the team, as she tries to protect everyone.

Underneath her independent side is actually a longing for the love of her best friend, Tyrone Toretto.

## Powers, Abilities & Weaknesses

### Powers

* **Meta-human Physiology**: Zoya inherited the meta-gene from her mother, Layla Bennett, altering her DNA, supercharging her cells, allowing her to access her superhuman powers.
	+ **Pyrokinesis**: Zoya has the ability to control, manipulate and primarily generate fire, due to her cells acting as miniaturized solar/ultraviolet energy-receptors which are specifically designed to harness the plasma and energy expulsions that are release by the sun and metabolizes the energy into usable forms. This solar ray absorption process occurs constantly when Zoya is directly exposed to sunlight at a rate determined by the expenditure of specific energy for her bodily needs. With the sun as her main power source, her enhanced capabilities become diminished during the night, though in the MotherShip, the ship pumps in natural sunlight, allowing her to constantly use her powers within the mothership.
		- **Firebolts**: Zoya can release limited quantities of solar energy from within her cells that travel throughout her body and directs the energy outwards through her hands where it explodes into fiery bursts of energized plasma.
