Nevaeh and her friends are granted unusual supernatural powers from a dormant meteorite, originating from the planet, Oasis.

She is the sole female member of her triad. When she was sixteen, her best friend and crush accidentally activates a dormant meteorite, which grants her and her friends unusual paranormal powers.

After this unprecedented event, she and the boys are confronted by genetically-engineered soldiers, known as Watchdogs with enhanced strength and speed who are after them, due to their activation of the meteorite. As their identities were unknown by the Watchdogs, what the three were unaware of was that they were under the leadership of the head of a clandestine organization. Eventually after gaining powers, she arose the attention of the Crescent Group, a group of people who are aware of aliens' existence, as well as their paranormal powers. She and the others discover that two students at the same school as them, Jonah and Luna, are both apart of the group and their history teacher, Nick Martin, is also a member.

As her newfound powers are shown, she begins to have a much bolder confidence, her abilities become stronger over time and she became a more powerful adversary to those who would do her harm. Once she learned of the existence of Cloak and that he is helping Theo strengthen his abilities, she tried simply by calling out to him, as he communicates telepathically, and eventually he contacted her in her sleep, and tells her to tap into negative emotions in order to strengthen her abilities. This led her to begin using her abilities recklessly and she began to act irresponsibly, until she was convinced by Theo that she had to responsibly use her powers, and at the time he was going through his identity crisis. This allowed the two to become closer and they eventually shared a kiss, which left unresolved feelings.

This discovery put Theo on a path that only one thing could stop, her brother Anthony's wedding, in which Nevaeh was one of the bridesmaids, coming up in one week. During this week, the Triad finds out the Crescent Group has been keeping their origins and missions away from them, which leads to the three of them leaving the group and taking an ancient artifact of theirs. In a fit of rage, Nevaeh's abilities grew stronger with her anger and she was able to instinctively use sound waves which cause a powerful tremor that caused a complete destruction of the Crescent Group's headquarters, bringing it to the ground.

On the day of Anthony and Taylor's wedding, Nevaeh is truly inspired by her brother and future sister-in-law's romance and takes the opportunity to confront Theo and confess her feelings. The two talk about how they feel for one another, as Nevaeh reveals how she has felt about him, her entire life and Theo tells her that he reciprocates the same feelings, as they kiss and finally become boyfriend and girlfriend, with Nevaeh feeling so excited, which causes her powers to trigger and vibrations around the entire room, making objects shake, as well as Theo's powers triggering making the lights in the room flicker, blow out and them reactivate. When the ceremony is over, both Carson Enterprises and the Crescent Group attempt to set up an ambush to the Triad at Anthony's wedding. Then as the two groups ambush the wedding, the turn the reception into a massive fight and Nevaeh and her family find out about their alien lineage, after Anthony shows that he always knew about his paranormal abilities and has controlled his abilities since he was thirteen, beginning to fight the two organizations to protect his family and his new wife.

## Powers, Abilities & Weaknesses

### Powers

**Halfling Physiology**: Nevaeh is a Halfling, part of an extraterrestrial species, known as Oasians and part Human, possessing various supernatural attributes from her bloodline. Her "specialty" seems to be absorbing the sound around her, allowing her to project destructive soundwaves. Although her powers hadn't fully activated until she was hit with the energy from a dormant Oasian meteorite. Her powers have advanced so profoundly throughout her time from developing, and have grown to be able to destroy and annihilate structures, monuments and even kill people. She has since demonstrated to become what said by many as, "one of the most powerful of her time", being a very close second to her boyfriend and fellow triad member.

* **Sound Manipulation**: Similar to her grandfather, Geoff Ortiz, but more potent, focused and versatile, Nevaeh is able to manipulate sound and sonic vibrations to her desire, converting it into physical force that she can utilize in various ways. Her abilities were heavily linked to his emotional state and often acted aggressively in response to Nevaeh's fear or anger. When her abilities were fully unleashed, Nevaeh was able to activate them with conscious effort, which only improved the more control she gained over them.
	+ **Sound Absorption**: Nevaeh's abilities are reliant on her being in contact with sound, causing her to resonate with sound and energy similarly to a tuning fork. Nevaeh is able to absorb any and all types of sound and convert it into various forms of energy, essentially converting sound waves she absorbs into any other form of existing energy. When absorbing enough sound and harnessing her energy to its fullest, her skin became pale and white, and her irises turn bright purple, as her body begins to generate purple and white light. Additionally, Nevaeh's demeanor would sometimes change into a cold, impassive state, ruthlessly harming or even killing those who cause the ones she loves significant harm, anger, stress or irritation.
		- **Sound Projection**: Nevaeh is able to generate destructive sound waves and vibrations to devastating effects, such as knocking people backwards or even destroying buildings. When she first began to experience her power, she would radiate sound waves in the form of transparent ripples of force. When she became upset during a confrontation in a parking lot, she unleashed a multi-directional shockwave that sent three fully grown men flying across a parking lot. Her sound waves caused the Crescent Group headquarters to experience a powerful tremor that caused the building to collapse, as well as generate a blast of force that sent a car flying rapidly across several city blocks.
			* **Force-Field Generation**: Nevaeh's sound-based energy can be shaped into protective barriers capable of absorbing intense amounts of force. During an attack from watchdogs and was able to shield herself. She was able generate a transparent barrier capable of shattering a bullet harmlessly, when she instinctively generated her energy.
			* **Flight**: Nevaeh is able to lift and propel herself through the air using force she creates out of sound. While outside of the Crescent Group's headquarters, she levitated above the building and destroyed the building.
	+ **Echolocation**: Nevaeh has developed the ability to sense the echoes and sub-vibrations that allows her to hear the signature sound wavelengths of any matter and/or living being. As such she is able to determine the specific frequencies of every single person that she tries to detect and describes it as a specific type of sound, such as Theo's frequency is described as a rushing sea with a force of energy and Chase's frequency as a wild rainstorm.

### Abilities

* **Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: After training with the Crescent Group, Nevaeh became an extensive fighter able to go against many Watchdogs.

### Weaknesses

* **High-frequencies**: While considered a strength, Nevaeh's echolocation does have many disadvantages; since her hearing is more sensitive than a normal human's, higher pitch noises, even her own powers can disorient Nevaeh and cause pain in her ears, which can cause her ears to bleed, and even temporarily leave her deaf, leaving her vulnerable in a fight.
