### Birthday Girl: Note

According to V, this rather eccentric crimefighter has been around since late-2006. She has operated almost exclusively in and around London, but has had marginal success — though she has yet to be captured by the Fingermen, as far as we can tell, so that proves she has been successful and Norsefire has suppressed her success. Which makes sense. If you were a totalitarian regime, would not want news of a naked bird ruining your plans with wrapping paper, party balloons, and confetti, would you? No, I should think not.

So what follows is taken from V's notes on the person in question, much of it retrieved from hacked and stolen Norsefire documents. I have taken the liberty to reformat them and form what I believe to be the most logical narrative possible.

### Birthday Girl: 2006

First known encounter. November 19th, 2006. "Birthday Girl" is seen on camera footage wearing a trench coat, sunglasses, and slip-on shoes in Trafalgar Square. She appears to survey her surrounding extensively before disrobing, shouting "Wake up, London!", and then proceeding to fill the area with confetti before running away with the response of Fingermen and local security officials. Birthday Girl declares her nom de guerre to a Fingerman who happens to grab her. She smashes a cupcake in his face and shouts "Hands off the Birthday Girl!" before she darts down an alleyway and grabs the strings to her balloons which life her up, up, and away. Fate surveillance last clocks her heading west over Green Park.

### Birthday Girl: 2007

2007/2/12 — Birthday Girl breaks into Scotland Yard and steals some dossiers. She is caught in the act and pursued, but manages to escape the building by jumping out a window and catching her balloons. While firing at her, police pop several balloons (which appear to have maneuvered into the line of fire to protect Birthday Girl) and she is forced to land. At which point, she walks into traffic and flags down a bus. She hijacks the bus and proceeds to give a strange impromptu tour of London until the bus is stopped blow out a 'make a wish' and blow out a birthday candle. Confetti rains down from the sky, obscuring everyone's vision. At which point, she vanishes (V suspects she simply put on a simple disguise and pretended to be a passenger. The Fingermen would have only been looking for a naked woman).

### Birthday Girl: 2007 - 2015

Regular nighttime incursions with Fingermen are reported. Usually interference with arrests of "persons of questionable moral fiber." Some Fingermen are left gift-wrapped to their vehicles or streetlamps. Birthday Girl gains a following in the Underground Culture, having infrequent appearances as such clubs reported. Some raves are given "Birthday Party" themes, with many in attendance wearing nothing. Few "Birthday Protests" happen, but are shut down with brutal countermeasures.

### Birthday Girl: 2015 - Present

Birthday Girl joins the Victory V Resistance, being one of the five original members (you know, when the "V" was also a clever reference tot he Roman numeral) with Britannia, The Knight, The Squire, and the Canterburry Cricket. Mrs. Hyde joins soon after (officially ending the "V" standing in for a"5"). They engage in several covert operations. Birthday Girl is surprisingly effectively.

Inspired by the destruction of the Old Bailey and V's hijacking of BTN's broadcast, Birthday Girl returns to her routine attacks against Fingermen on the street, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask (and little else). This last for five weeks before she returns to more typical covert fare with the Victory V Resistance.

Now that I have met her, I don't really know what to think about her. She's possibly a crazy person, but her powers are legit so maybe magic people are just a bit mental? She's a big fan of V and hopes to meet him someday. I also think she fancies me...

### Resources

* **Homo Magi(?) Physiology:** Though the origin of her magic is uncertain, it is generally presumed Birthday Day is of homo magi heritage. This presumption is supposed by the fact she appears to have limited proper instruction in the occult. Though she appears to have a naturally potent ability to wield magic, her spells seem to be confined to a particular theme.
	+ ***Balloons:*** Birthday Girl can conjure up to seven floating balloons with strings. The balloons come in a variety of colors and can have messages or images on them. These balloons usually appear to hover around Birthday Girl. These quasi-sentient balloons give Birthday Girl a full 360° awareness of their surroundings though a telepathic connection. These balloons will move to aid Birthday Girl by popping themselves as a distraction, blocking lines of sight to her enemies. These balloons' strings are prehensile and able to wrap around object — often carrying things to Birthday Girl. Each string alone has a lifting capacity of about 30 pounds (14 kg). Combined, the balloons can carry Birthday Girl, levitating her to elevated locations (requiring 5 balloons) or they can whisk her away at great speed (requiring all 7 balloons).The balloons will pop if they venture outside of Birthday Girl's vicinity for longer than 4 hours. Any popped balloon can be conjured again after a few minutes.
	+ ***Birthday Suit:*** Birthday Girl is more resilient than her lack of clothing suggests. Bullets don't bounce off her, but she can walk over glass barefoot and is not affected by normal environmental hazards, such as inclement weather or hot sand.
	+ ***Birthday Spanking:*** Birthday Girl has the ability to befuddle her weak-willed enemies by slapping them. Smacks across the buttocks appear to be the most effective.
	+ ***Cakewalk:*** Birthday Girl can conjure the ingredients for a cake (which appear in a gift box — *see "Conjuration"*). Upon baking the cake with the thought of a specific place Birthday Girl has been or a person she is familiar with, the cake will be imbued with magic. When anyone eats a slice of cake, the next door they walk through will relocate them to somewhere within the general vicinity of that person or place.
	+ ***Candles:*** Birthday Girl can conjure a birthday candle, lit or unlit, at will. She can impart various spells and effects on these candles which will take effect when the candle is blown-out or it burns out (usually about five minutes after conjuration).
	+ ***Conjuration:*** Birthday Girl has the ability to conjure various small objects, always inside a gift box or bag; or wrapped in wrapping clothing paper. This can can be everything from candy, clothing, toys, knick-knacks, electronic devices, and even weapons. Though Birthday Girl chooses the type of item she conjures, the conjured object changes its shape and form as it is unwrapped, changing its aesthetic and design to suit the preferences to the intended recipient of the gift. Birthday Girl can also conjure large items, such as sports car, which will appear with a large ribbon tied on it. Birthday Girl can also freely conjure various (magical or mundane) party supplies, such as birthday candles, ribbons, banners, party buzzers and hats, and wrapping paper.
	+ ***Confetti:*** Birthday Girl can cause confetti to shower down around herself or in her vicinity. Anyone in the area will find their mood slightly lightened and their opinion of Birthday Girl improved until three hours pass or the confetti has been cleaned up.
	+ ***Cupcake:*** Birthday Girl can conjure small cupcakes with a lit birthday candle. She can impart these cakes with all manner of spells which are activated by taking a bite of the cupcake (or smashing it into someone's face also works) or by blowing out its candle. The cupcakes are usually flavored according to the preference of the consumer, but Birthday Girl can force a particular flavor at the time of creation.
	+ ***Supernatural Senses:*** As a supernatural being, Birthday Girl is able to see and interact with ghosts and other esoteric beings in a manner normal people cannot.

### Weaknesses

* **Barenaked:** Birthday Girl usually only wears a ribbon in her hair. Though she has worn other accessories for comedic effect without disruption of her powers, covering her with a coat or subjecting her to wearing clothing appears to weaken her magic.
