Glory Pryor is many things: a hero, a top student, a quality employee, and a once-sister. Since the disappearance of her older sister, and, later, the death of the hero she idolized most, she has stopped at nothing to achieve her goals and bring her enemies down.

### Biography/Backstory

#### Childhood

Glory grew up in a house surrounded by love; as the younger sibling with a massive extended family, she was greatly celebrated. Through her childhood, she had the closest bond with her older sister, Claira, who was five years older. From the time she was a little kid, Glory had always admired the superheroes that went around in bright costumes to save the day from petty robbers and supervillains. Her superhero tee is what allowed her to meet her best friend since first grade, Maddox Reyes. Since their first scuffle, the two were inseparable, and both families got together often. She discovered her powers with him after he expressed his wishes to speak to Butters, the Reyes family dog. Glory jokingly asked the dog if it wanted to get its nails painted, and it responded with an excited "Yes! I've always thought I look good in blue."

#### Claira

When Glory was sixteen, her sister didn't come home for dinner one evening. It was normal to the rest of the family, as Claira often went out with her boyfriend Harris Mark. They quickly became worried, however, when it turned out she wasn't ever home that night, and when her boss contacted the family to ask why she wasn't at work or answering her cell phone. Police were called to investigate the mysterious disappearance, and they later found significant blood stains on the wall and street behind the diner Claira worked at. To the family's relief, none of it was hers; instead, the oddity lied in the fact that it belonged to Harris - and some of the blood was very clearly green. After testing, it was found that there was a high chlorophyll content in the blood. Claira was never found.

#### Heroism

From the day the hero started out, Glory was awed by the strength and skill of famed hero Picture Perfect and grew to be a big fan. The hero inspired her to try and convince Maddox that they should join the Hero Committee, as they both had useful abilities, and save countless lives. Maddox agreed instantly, dreaming of the glory and fame. When Picture Perfect died and her identity was leaked all over live news when Glory was 20, she felt terrible for both the hero and her family. Finding no justice or honor in her role model's death or how it was handled, Glory chose to make it a secondary mission of hers to avenge her and take down her killer. Two years later, she and Maddox officially joined the Hero Committee as partners Austringer and Ajax.

### Powers

Maddox has dubbed her ability the "Call of the Wild":

* Animal Communication: Glory can speak to any animal and mutually understand its speech.
* Animalistic Traits: After speaking the name of a certain animal's definitive trait (i.e. cheetah speed), she can temporarily utilize that strength.

### Relationships

#### Maddox Reyes

Maddox and Glory have always been best friends, and she sees him as a younger brother. The Reyes household is a second home to her, and she's there almost as often as she is her own house. The two do everything together: work, school, heroism, just about anything. After his "Mayday 2016" and later Claira's disappearance, she has grown extremely protective of Maddox.

#### Claira Pryor

Glory was extremely close to her sister, and was absolutely shattered when she disappeared. She hasn't stopped her search for Claira despite odds being against her, and records all of her clues and findings in a battered leather journal she got from the Lucky Penny. Glory feels partially responsible for Claira's disappearance, as she thinks she didn't try hard enough to convince Claira her boyfriend was an awful person.

#### Brian Harris

Glory has a good relationship with her boss, and she is often invited to spend some time during the holidays, along with Maddox. He discovered her secret early on in her employment and has promised to keep it as such.

#### Anna-Rae Becker

Due to her situation, Glory has always felt sympathetic towards Anna-Rae, and she truly likes the kid and finds it fun to work and talk with her.

#### Pickpocket

As a hero, Glory is mildly suspicious of Pickpocket. They have a common goal, however, so she puts her hesitation inside to take down the KU.

#### 035

After learning that 035 was actually Picture Perfect's younger sister Claudia Crumbs, Glory has mixed feelings about the vigilante. Her destructive power and cruel personality are off-putting, but she feels bad for her regardless and respects her fighting skill. She knows 035 dislikes her, and she isn't sure how to feel about it. She's glad to help her fight the KU, for both Picture Perfect and Claira.

#### Picture Perfect/Bacia Crumbs

Glory was a huge fan of the hero and feels she deserved more respect than she's gotten in the time after her death.

#### Glory's Mother

Glory has a good relationship with her mother. She taught Glory how to play the guitar, leading her to pursue a career in music.

#### Glory's Father

Glory has a somewhat-strained relationship with her father since Claira disappeared.

#### Corinth Reyes

Maddox's little sister is an angel to Glory, and she absolutely loves Corinth. She often comes over to take care of her with Maddox when he's babysitting.

#### Edgar Harris

Glory likes Brian's husband alright, but she feels that he pities her too much to actually see her as an individual. Regardless, she respects him.

#### Harris Twins

When babysitting, Glory loves one child and hates the other. The identical Harris twins are yin and yang to Glory, and while Millie is pleasant to deal with, her sister Lily is the devil incarnate. She still can't tell them apart by looks alone.

#### White Rose

After a battle with her where she eventually left the fight, Glory suspects that White Rose has something to do with the disappearance of her sister, but she can't figure out what. The villain genuinely scared her.

#### Knights of the Underground

Glory knows that the hidden villain group is not to be taken lightly, as they have been the perpetrators of several high-scale crimes that were swept under the rug. They are dangerous, and she will stop at nothing to take them down.

#### Harris Mark

Unrelated to the Harris family. Glory never liked Claira's boyfriend and often saw him threaten or verbally abuse her. She suspected it was also physically when Claira snuck back in the bedroom window with bruises on her face and arms. She made it a point to make him as uncomfortable as possible whenever she was around him.

### Trivia

* Glory and Maddox work at the Lucky Penny together, a small antique and thrift store. Their boss knows they're heroes.
* Glory has a scar on her nose from her first interaction with Maddox; he punched her in the face while accidentally activating his hawk talons after she dared him to. Nobody believes that she started it, no matter who the story is told to or by.
