Bloom

Bloom is a teen with plant manipulation powers, she is a student at Atlas Academy on the hero course where she is on Team Unity. She is the second daughter of Dr Johnathan Fields, like her father she has a fervent passion for environmental science. She hopes she can make him proud through academic success without having to pretend to be the perfect daughter, she is still introverted so her acts of rebellion are at quite a small scale.

## History

### Early Life

Her family life was difficult. Her older sister wanted nothing to do with the daughter of her father's new wife and eventually stopped coming to spend time with the father she had grown to despise. Her mother and father spent very little time with the girl. She pursued music, learning to sing and play various instruments to get her mother's attention but found a bitter side to her mother who would always be quick to point out Charlotte's flaws. Both in her performances and in her appearance.

Likewise nothing was ever good enough for her father, even perfect test scores mustered a weak acknowledgement before a lecture about how far ahead she could be if she 'only applied herself'.

Charlotte grew to be a meek, solitary girl and as she began to mature and her natural beauty made itself more apparent to her peers she found herself ostracised at school by envious classmates.

### Joining Atlas Academy

A stalker invaded the family home looking for Charlotte's mother. When Charlotte came face to face with the man she screamed and ran. He pursued her through the house, intentions unknown, thankfully Charlotte didn't have to learn of his intentions as her powers triggered as she got out into the garden. The topiary sprang to life seizing the man while she shrank back in awe of what she had done.

Her father enrolled her into Atlas Academy before even checking that she was okay. His investment would finally pay off if they could help his daughter control her burgeoning powers. He would later regret this impulsive action- as her being at Atlas meant he couldn't study her powers up close.

A new school meant a chance to reinvent herself, finally she would have friends. The first student her age that she met was Loxley, the shy girl broke the ice (a feat which she mentally celebrated for the next few days) and he was nice enough in return that she imprinted on him like a gosling for the next few weeks while she grew accustomed to her teammates Maria and Ashlynn. She tried multiple times to get close to her teammate Glacier but true to his codename the icy teen was hard to approach and the shy girl couldn't handle being shutdown so she eventually stopped trying.

She met Sebastian who shared a lot of her classes, he was charming and able to get her to come out of her shell while still being mysterious so when he invited her to the Halloween dance she felt compelled to accept. They went as friends so she was shocked when he kissed her and slapped him out of reflex. She stammered out an apology and left him at the dance alone.

### 3rd Year

She helped Kid Spectacular nurture a Nathean plant that responds to singing

She got kidnapped by Malice Magick who impersonated her at Homecoming and went with Loxley who somehow suspected nothing.

She started dating Kid Spectacular.

## Personality

Bloom is an introvert, often preferring the company of her books to other people. She is still a kind and gentle soul, she likes to nurture her friends just like her plants. She struggles to say no to her friends and very rarely gets mad. When she does she shows a side of her she normally prefers to keep hidden away.

## Powers, Abilities and Equipment

### Plant Manipulation

Bloom can control plants- she can cause them to grow rapidly, make them move according to her will and she uses this to protect the people around her or attack her enemies. She can also manipulate plants to produce mild toxins and restorative compounds that they wouldn't normally be capable of in high quantities.
