**Savannah Wolski**, also known by her superhero moniker "**Gravel**", is a young member of the superhero team Strike Back.

## Origin

Born into a humble family in the heart of America, Savannah Wolski's life took an unforeseen turn during a family trip to Europe at the tender age of 19. Venturing off on her own to explore, she soon found herself lost in the labyrinthine streets of an unfamiliar city. In her moment of vulnerability, a seemingly kind old lady emerged from the shadows, offering her shelter for the night. Unbeknownst to Savannah, this seemingly benevolent encounter would unravel a series of events that would reshape the course of her life.

The old lady led Savannah through dimly lit alleys, and curious onlookers stared at them with a mix of fear and concern. An inexplicable sense of foreboding lingered in the air, as if the locals knew something Savannah did not. Upon reaching the old lady's modest wooden dwelling, Savannah hesitated but ultimately entered, a sense of unease gnawing at her.

As soon as Savannah stepped inside, the old lady closed and locked the creaky door behind them with a disconcerting click. In an unexpected turn, the old lady pounced on Savannah, forcing a glowing purple gem into her mouth. The moment the gem descended down Savannah's throat, a radiant light enveloped her, triggering an astonishing transformation. The old lady's sinister grin widened as Savannah's skin turned into a stony, grey exterior. The house crumbled around them, and, in a tragic twist, the old lady met her demise pinned against the door.

Terrified and now a colossal, stone-like creature, Savannah fled the city, seeking solace on a distant hill. To her amazement, upon waking up, she reverted to her normal self. This revelation sparked a new understanding: she could control her transformation by focusing on her human form. However, the haunting fear of permanently becoming a monstrous creature lingered in her mind.

Returning to her family in America, Savannah grappled with the duality of her existence. Yet, with each exploration of her newfound powers, she uncovered superhuman strength, agility, and the ability to leap great distances. Embracing her extraordinary abilities, Savannah started sneaking out at night, experimenting with her powers, and gradually learning to harness them for good.

Driven by a profound sense of responsibility, Savannah, now adopting the superhero name Gravel, realized that her abilities could be a force for positive change. Over the years, she honed her powers, developing a sleek super suit that not only offered protection but also harnessed the color of her power's radiant aura. Taking on the mantle of Gravel, she emerged from the shadows and joined the ranks of the superhero team Strike Back. Determined to make a positive impact and protect others from the shadows that once haunted her, Gravel embarked on a journey to redefine her destiny.
