Vanessa Sandoval

**Vanessa Sandoval**, registered in Hydra Nueva's database as **The Warden**, is a Mutant harnessing the power to generate force fields by manipulating the energy around her so she can mold it into a protective shield at will. She was captured and taken into the camp at a really young age.

While her abilities predominantly lean towards defense, she has displayed a remarkably aggressive stance against all non-mutant life forms, she wants to win the tournament yet her wishes are far from gentile.

## Appearance

At 18 years old, she stands at a modest height of 5 feet and 6 inches, her lithe frame carrying a weight of 115 pounds. Her striking black hair cascades gently onto her shoulders, and woven within its dark tendrils are subtle streaks of purple highlights that seem to shimmer like hidden gemstones in the moonlight.

Speaking of her eyes, they are a unique and entrancing shade of purple, reminiscent of the deepest amethysts. Her expressive eyes reveal an air of deep hatred and annoyance, most of the time.

She's dressed with an oversized jacket which drapes over her shoulders, creating an effortlessly cool and laid-back aura around her. Underneath, a trendy black crop top hints at a sense of confidence. She's clad in well-worn jeans that fit snugly, accentuating her slender figure, while sturdy boots complete her ensemble. With her captivating appearance and unique style, she stands as a striking example of youthful individuality and a free-spirited sense of self-expression.

## Personality

Vanessa possesses a complex and multifaceted personality that can be described as morally grey, reflecting a profound sense of bitterness and a vehement disdain for humanity. Her temperament is often characterized by spitefulness and a quick propensity to become easily annoyed, which casts a shadow of acrimony over her interactions with others. Though her demeanor can be harsh and unforgiving, it conceals layers of deeply ingrained resentment, stemming from a belief that she and other mutants are oppressed and marginalized by the non-mutant majority.

Beneath her abrasive exterior lies a fervent belief that the only means of achieving justice and asserting dominance for her kind is through extreme measures, including what she perceives as the necessary extermination of non-mutants. This unyielding aggression towards those outside her group is a manifestation of her uncompromising convictions, a testament to the lengths she is willing to go to secure what she perceives as a rightful place for mutants in the world.

Vanessa's personality, therefore, paints a portrait of a character deeply entrenched in her own stark worldview, one that is shaped by a profound bitterness and a willingness to resort to morally questionable actions in her pursuit of what she believes to be justice for her oppressed community, being the first step into this to win the tournament.

### The Warden

Vanessa can create a field formed from the energy of the environment surrounding her. Typically centered on or around her like an aura, these fields often take on a spherical or flat shape and manifest in the form of a barrier or surface such as a shield, wall, dome or bubble. Her Force-Field is capable of blocking or impeding approaching objects and nullifying attacks, including physical and energy-based attacks or even repelling or reflecting them, as well as being used as a means of containment to imprison others.
