Froppie

"*Ribbit, Ribbit.*"

**Froppie** (real name **Eleanor Maya Grayson**, born August 2nd, 1996) is a Canadian-born Metahuman, who is one of the five founding members of the The Team, alongside Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash and Superboy, accidentally replacing Speedy/Red Arrow. She is the only female cousin of the Boy Wonder, one of the three survivors and remaining members of the Flying Graysons.

## Appearance

Eleanor is relatively tall for her age, as well as of a relatively slender build compared to her teammates and has notably large hands. Her appearance is rather frog-like; she has a very wide mouth, which dips down a little in the middle just like that of a common frog, and oval-shaped eyes with large, hazel, nearly green irises, their lower eyelashes visibly pronounced, and she also demonstrates some frog-like mannerisms, such as hopping on all fours instead of running.

Much like a frog, Eleanor's skin is moderate green with darker green freckles on her body, lighter green underbelly and black markings across her eyes. Her feet are webbed with three toes and her ears are pointed.

Her hair is a ebony black color with a dark blue shine, and is very long, reaching all the way to her waist, the ends tied together at the bottom in a bow of hair. She has two shoulder-length clumps framing her face, and shorter bangs between her eyes, some of them partially swept to each side.

## Civilian Wear

Eleanor's Civilian attire consists of a pair of black-framed glasses, a light green sweater under a black dress. Black leggings with dark green boots.

## Superhero Attire

As Anura, Eleanor wears a black, armored, hooded wetsuit with no sleeves and the leggings reach just above the knees under a dark green kimono top. Dark green accents. Black boots and black gauntlets. A dark green utility belt.

## Personality

Eleanor is kind, generous and compassionate, good to have around during a crisis as she knows how to remain calm and take control of the situation until it is resolved. Eleanor is very caring and nurturing to others, however she has a habit of neglecting her own needs while giving to others. She is very intelligent and loves to learn.

A tends to wear her heart on her sleeve, she feels anger intensely and joy quite well, but her sadness is silent and hardly, if ever, marked by tears. She hardly lets her rage control her and cheerfully remarks on the things that make her happy, but hardly says a word in her sadness, though it is visible to everyone. However, though she may feel sad, she never gives in to despair, always looking for a solution the right way. Her determination and little regard for pain can make her a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Alongside, Eleanor is gracious and well-mannered, knowing just the right things to say and do. Although she doesn't look it, Eleanor has high moral standards and doing the right thing is important to her, along with being a loyal friend and a faithful partner, gentle but not passionate.

Although strong-willed and loyal, Eleanor is a good listener and can view others problems with empathy, clarity and a balanced analysis, seeing both sides while showing respect and caring.

In short, Eleanor is generally frank, fairly sociable, but preferring peace at any price. She can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, and run the risk of being exploited by others. She may appear to be innocent and naïve but she is actually quite streetwise and astute - she can read others well, but often keeps it to herself.

## History

Froppie was born Eleanor May Grayson in August 2nd, 1996, daughter and youngest child of Richard and Karla Grayson, who are members of the Flying Graysons trapeze family in Haly's Circus. She was born in Alberta, Canada, during the circus American Tour, however her Metahuman traits manifested the day she was born, as she looked like an anthropomorphic frog girl. The rest of the family was more than welcoming of the frog child, but the ringmaster, Jack Haly, was a bit skeptical of Froppie's appearance, but Froppie's elder brother, Johnny, was able to convince him that even through she looked different she's still an innocent child. Jack was moved by Johnny's words that he welcomed Froppie with open arms. Months later, December 1st, Anura's cousin and best friend was born.

Life was doing great for Froppie throughout her childhood. She became a separate attraction and was loved by the other members of the circus, as well as her family... Until the date of April 1st, 2006, the day a mob boss named Tony Zucco sabotaged the Flying Graysons' trapeze act and killed most of the family. Luckily, Froppie and her cousin Dick were able to survive the incident, but the others weren't so lucky. Froppie's father was able to survive the fall, but it left permanently paralyzed and unable to look after Froppie and her cousin. Seeing her cousin under the care of Bruce Wayne, Froppie believed that no-one would take her in and call her a freak because of her frog-like traits.

Luckily, after a few days of being in foster care with Lorraine and Stephen Henderson, the family decided to take Froppie as one of their own. The sad thing was the Henderson Family lived in a city in D.C, so Froppie wouldn't be able to see her cousin again... Or so she thought.

Come Independence Day, 2010, Froppie saw in the news that the local genetic research lab; Project Cadmus, caught fire and the fire emergency teams were trying to keep it under control. Froppie, being as smart as she is observant, believed there was more to Project Cadmus than meets the eye and took it upon herself to go and investigate. Who knows what might happen...

## Powers

* **Frog Physiology**: Froppie's main Metahuman abilities are centered around her frog-like attributes, which allow her to do anything a frog can do, such as:
	+ An extremely long and prehensile tongue that can be used to grasp onto objects and people.
	+ An ability to grip a variety of different surfaces, including tightropes and walls.
	+ Froppie is able to swim well and thus navigate water environments with particular ease.
	+ Froppie's stomach is capable of inflating, which allows her to secrete an irritating toxin contained in the walls of her stomach. Eleanor can also use her stomach to store items she swallows, regurgitating them if necessary.
	+ Froppie can produce a mucus on her arms that has a distinctive scent, which can be used to confuse foes that rely on smell. It can also function as a paralyzing agent if an opponent comes into contact with enough of it.
	+ Cold temperatures can fatigue Froppie to the point of forced hibernation.
	+ She can camouflage herself to blend into her surroundings to a certain degree.

## Abilities

* **Martial Arts/Parkour:** Due to her frog-like physiology, Froppie is a very skilled acrobat with talents in parkour and martial arts respectively.

* **Master Detective:** Froppie has a genius-level intellect and can solve riddles and puzzling crimes committed by the most skilled and intelligent criminals and psychopaths, like Joker or Riddler. As shown to be able to recognize Robin as her cousin with just one quick glance.

* **Multilingualism:** Due to her intellect, Froppie is talented in multiple foreign languages. She speaks English natively and respectively and is fluent in French, Spanish, German, Japanese and Russian. She's also fluent in American Sign Language.

## Weaknesses

* **Headaches:**

* **Astraphobia/Brontophobia:** Due to her sensitive nature and over-sensitive senses, Eleanor has a terrible fear of thunderstorms. It can render her immobile or submissive.

* **Crowds:** Due to her autism, Eleanor is extremely shy and extremely uncomfortable when it comes to large crowds. So she tries to avoid them as much as possible.

* **Nearsightedness:**

* **Cold Blooded:** As frogs are cold-blooded creatures, Froppie is highly sensitive to the cold, with prolonged exposure making her feel drowsy and lethargic. Exposure to sudden cold puts Froppie into a hibernation-like state, rendering her completely unable to do anything until she warms up. In addition, she is susceptible to high heat and fire, as her aquatic nature leaves her vulnerable to drying out.
