**Hurihiko** aka **Hydro-Girl** is the main protagonist of the HydroVerse series of comics and one of many characters created by theryanjake11, she originates from a planet called Aqua-Irava and is the demigoddess of both her home planet and the element of water.

Over the course of her history, Hydro-Girl has fought numerous battles both tough and easy, her destiny is to become the Goddess of Aqua-Irava after her mentor Omeka, but Hydro-Girl has openly refused such a thing due to her modesty.

## Appearance

Hydro-Girl is an 8-9 foot tall nude female with blue/seafoam green skin and sports darker-shaded neat hair. Hydro-Girl possesses a very muscular build, with visible abs.

Hydro-Girl also features light blue eyes that are perpetually glowing. When under the power of the Ukala, Hydro-Girl grows to a great height and gains braided hair along with bright glowing eyes.

When she was briefly under the brainwashing of Kino, Hydro-Girl's eyes turned to a glowing purple.

## History

### Early Life

In the early years of Aqua-Irava’s war with Lucifero, two unknown parents were gifted with Hurihiko whilst living in the caves of their planet due to the on-going battle. Whilst talking to her people Omeka saw an infantile Hurihiko being held up in the air by her parents, the Aqua-Iravian Goddess saw something in the infant: A guardian.

Since that day Hurihiko was trained immensely by Tesla at the age of 18 in hand-to-hand and Tempus sword combat, Omeka then took up the mantle of aiding Hurihiko in unlocking her water-based abilities. After her training was complete, Omeka officially labelled Hurihiko as the demigoddess of Aqua-Irava and the element of water, keeping her close by at all times.

### Travelling to Earth

After learning the extent of her powers, Omeka sent Hurihiko to Earth in the 1800s to observe humans and the overall environment, she would then make frequent trips from Aqua-Irava to Earth and back.

After this, she rested in the caves of Aqua-Irava for a long time before she was awakened by Sigma Research after they succeeded in opening a gateway into her world.

### *Operation Corvus*

During the second World War, Hydro-Girl arrived on Earth and noticed the complete desolation that surrounded her and made her feel upset. As she wandered the foggy battlefield, she noticed a destroyed house and entered only to find two corpses and a very weak, crying baby in a box on the floor. Unbeknownst to Hydro-Girl, this baby would grow up to become the grandfather of her future companion, Kevin Harrison.

The petrified Hydro-Girl picked up the human infant and noticed the weakened state it was in, so she took the baby outside and proceeded to breastfeed it in order to keep it from dying. Suddenly, Hydro-Girl is attacked by the Day Wolf known as Lilith who then tries to devour the baby.

Lilith charges into Hydro-Girl, launching the baby into the air before being caught by Lilith who then attempts to eat the baby until she is hit with a strong blast of water by Hydro-Girl. This launches the baby into the air a second time, but Hydro-Girl is the one to catch it this time.

Distracted, Hydro-Girl is bitten on the arm by Lilith which causes the Aqua-Iravian to react by punching the Day Wolf in the face and then deliver another strong blast of water which sends Lilith flying into the ground, knocking her out.

Hydro-Girl reassures the baby, but she is then met by a masked Corvus who then orders a tank to open fire at Hydro-Girl. To protect herself and the baby, Hydro-Girl deploys her bubble shield to deflect the tank's missile, launching it back at the tank and destroying it instantly. Corvus manages to compose himself after the blast, but he is then hit with a powerful water wave and slams into the front of the destroyed tank.

Hydro-Girl had stayed on Earth to notice another war on Earth in Vietnam, where Hydro-Girl travelled in search of Corvus after realising that he was still alive. Upon arriving in Vietnam in 1971, Hydro-Girl got into frequent battles with the Viet-Cong who saw her as a strange water creature. It was here when Hydro-Girl encountered the daughter of Vortak known as Mura who caused death and destruction in the area.

The two got into a brief fight, with Hydro-Girl managing to use her water blasts to cause the inexperienced Mura to retreat from the area but did vow to get her revenge someday. A year later, Hydro-Girl managed to track Corvus down to a small village where the villain had recently committed mass genocide. Hydro-Girl watched as Corvus turned her attention to a container he had brought with him, revealing a horrific mutant inside.

Corvus reveals that the mutant was the result of the same super soldier serum that he himself took, but it had not taken too lightly to this specimen. The petrified Hydro-Girl is then forced to do battle with this helpless experiment, and it manages to grab her by the ankle before attempting to crush it. Hydro-Girl fends off the mutant using her water blasts, and then prepares to fight.

After knocking down the mutant, it begs Hydro-Girl to kill it which only makes her quite heartbroken. The US military then initiates a napalm strike that engulfs the entire area in fire, Corvus escapes as does Hydro-Girl.

### *Hydro-Girl: Remastered*

The science organization known as Sigma Research spend three years trying to open a portal to another world, they succeed and decide to send in Sigma scientists Eileen Howells and assistant Slick. The two look on in awe at their surroundings, the portal had taken them to a cave filled with shimmering crystals growing out of the walls around them.

The two then inspect a small lake nearby, causing Eileen and Slick to suspect that the portal sent them to a simple cave on Earth. The water begins moving, shocking the two scientists who are then knocked back by a sudden blast of water. Hydro-Girl rises out of the water, she notices the two humans on the ground and notices that Eileen is critically injured with a head wound.

Hydro-Girl transfers herself into Eileen's body to keep her alive, she and Slick are later brought back through the portal by a rescue team and are given medical treatment. Eileen is unresponsive at first, but her vital signs begin going up which shocks everyone in the room including the unusually calm Dr. Newman. Eileen is taken home by her colleagues and put to rest on her bed, she soon wakes up.

Upon waking up, Eileen is confused and has a headache which prompts her to stumble to her bathroom to splash some water on her face. After doing so, Eileen notices her eyes have gone from brown to a bright blue and before she can properly realise what's happening to her she then notices her skin colour becoming blue. Eileen's entire body begins growing, causing her great pain as she stumbles and crawls out of her bathroom whilst her body continues to reshape itself.

After climbing to her feet, Hydro-Girl decides to go out into the city and analyse the area. She comes across a few members from the Downpour Crime Syndicate (DCS) and sees them dumping barrels off of the docks, Hydro-Girl manages to take them out but chooses not to cause any real harm as a warning. Hydro-Girl then makes her way back to the apartment and reverts back into Eileen, she wakes up in a daze and finds herself lying on her bed. The confused Eileen tries to collect her thoughts and soon finds out about a sighting of a "blue woman" on the news, this startles Eileen as she loosely recalls her skin turning blue. In shock, Eileen watches the news some more and then learns that the photos were taken by a missing little boy named Kevin.

Eileen makes it her mission to find the boy and talk to him about what he saw, she goes out into the city and travels to an abandoned warehouse where the boy was believed to have been last seen. Eileen explores the area and then is startled as the boy is standing behind her, he runs off as she approaches. Eileen follows the boy around the side of the warehouse and finds him standing next to a small fire. Trying not to appear intimidating, Eileen tries to assure the boy that she means no harm and introduces herself. The boy introduces himself as Kevin and reveals that he ran away from home along with his sister, but his sister had passed away from starvation. The heartbroken Eileen then consoles Kevin, but their embrace is cut short when a group of angry DSC members confront them on account of some "stolen water".

After trying her best to diffuse the situation, Eileen is immediately beaten down by the gang and the leader orders her to be thrown off the dock. Kevin watches helplessly as Eileen is carried away and thrown into the water, the leader then begins to threaten Kevin's life. The surrounding water and the overall situation causes Eileen to undergo another transformation into Hydro-Girl and she manages to climb out back onto land.

As the gang of thugs attempt to attack Kevin, the leader's goons are picked up by Hydro-Girl and are slammed into one another. The shocked leader and Kevin look on as the tall blue woman stands before them, one of the goons manages to regain consciousness and uses a baseball bat to whack Hydro-Girl in her back. This doesn't affect Hydro-Girl, and she swats him away with her powerful hands.

The panicked leader then holds a gun to Kevin's head, Hydro-Girl then quickly reduces the ammunition to bubbles which allows Kevin to run away to safety whilst Hydro-Girl punches the leader in the face and knocks him out cold. Hydro-Girl then spots the cowering Kevin and slowly walks over to him, she kneels down and looks at him covering his face. Hydro-Girl misinterprets him not looking as a way of saying that she is ugly.

Kevin quickly explains that it is rude to look at naked women, but Hydro-Girl moves his hands to look into his eyes and then gives him a warm smile. Kevin asks Hydro-Girl if she is an angel, but Hydro-Girl holds out her hand and tells the boy it is nice to meet him. Kevin shakes her hand, meanwhile there is a Sigma agent armed with a sniper rifle watching them from a tower. Hydro-Girl then notices a tear coming from Kevin's eye and wipes it with her finger before questioning him about it. Kevin reveals that he regrets running away, the Sigma agent then takes the shot and Hydro-Girl is hit in the ankle, causing her great pain. Hydro-Girl angrily turns around and fires a powerful blast of water directly into the tower, sending the Sigma agent flying away.

With a medium amount of blood leaking out of her ankle, Hydro-Girl attempts to hide her pain from Kevin but he notices and goes to grab a bin in order for her to rest her injured foot on something. Kevin then begins rubbing Hydro-Girl's foot in an attempt to sooth the pain, a tactic that his late sister used on their mother whilst she was pregnant with Kevin. Hydro-Girl and Kevin then chat, with the boy asking Hydro-Girl where she came from and if she is an angel. Hydro-Girl calmly reveals that she comes from a place called Aqua-Irava and also tells Kevin how she ended up merging with Eileen. The conversation is cut short when Sigma agents arrive lead by Dr. Newman, who reveals that he is now working with an ancient enemy of Aqua-Irava known as Vortak, much to Hydro-Girl's dismay. Dr. Newman then activates the specialised bullet still lodged in Hydro-Girl's ankle, sending an electrical surge through her body which ultimately makes her collapse as Kevin demands them to leave her alone. Kevin is apprehended by Sigma agents as Hydro-Girl pleads with them to leave him alone.

The electrical surge causes Hydro-Girl to revert back into Eileen, she is then taken by Dr. Newman to a place called Devil's Island and strapped to a table inside a room with a laser-like contraption pointed at her. Dr. Newman tells his former employee that she unknowingly helped him in his future plans, he then presses a button which activates the laser and it kills Eileen so that Hydro-Girl will be trapped inside her corpse forever. Eileen wakes up in a strange place she believes is Heaven at first glance, she then walks around and finds a small dream-like forest that she explores, she inspects strange carvings on a tree before she is spoken to by Hydro-Girl, who is speaking to her from a mirror made out of water. The two finally speak to one another inside this shared consciousness, with Hydro-Girl apologizing for everything she has caused and that Eileen actually died from her head wound inside the cave, Hydro-Girl could not handle the guilt and transferred herself into Eileen's body to keep her alive.

Hydro-Girl then tells Eileen that Earth is in danger due to Dr. Newman allowing Vortak to cross over. This causes Eileen to become speechless as Hydro-Girl tells her the story of Vortak, Hydro-Girl states that the only way to defeat Vortak is to use both their wills to unlock the power necessary for fighting their enemy which will result in both her and Eileen perishing.

Hydro-Girl lets Eileen know that she would understand if Eileen does not wish to give her life away, Eileen however forgives Hydro-Girl and accepts to take part in keeping Earth safe as she helped Dr. Newman find Aqua-Irava in the first place. The two hold hands, combining their fighting spirit and allowing Eileen to spring back to life in the real world and transform back into Hydro-Girl. A Sigma agent notices and holds her at gunpoint, Hydro-Girl smacks his gun out of his hand before throwing him through a set of doors. Hydro-Girl and Eileen make it their mission to find and rescue Kevin. Making her way down the halls Hydro-Girl is confronted by two Sigma agents who demand her to surrender lest they open fire but Hydro-Girl instantly head-butts one of the agents and swipes the second one's gun right out of his hands and observes it before angrily throwing the weapon against the wall, breaking it into pieces.

Hydro-Girl manages to find Kevin and punches the containment panel, freeing Kevin who then jumps into Hydro-Girl's arms and begins to cry as the giant lady consoles him. Kevin then hands Hydro-Girl a bottle of water he had stolen from the DCS earlier, and she absorbs the energy which allows her to generate a shield around herself and Kevin as protection from three Sigma agents that enter the room and open fire on them.

A smirking Hydro-Girl then expels the shield's energy, which causes a sizable shockwave that sends all three Sigma agents crashing into a wall. Hydro-Girl and Kevin finally exit the Sigma base and arrive at a dam, they are confronted by a Sigma tank which fires at them. Kevin is sent flying into the water from the blast which shocks Hydro-Girl. Positioning her fingers, Hydro-Girl blows a big bubble which envelopes the approaching tank, she then uses her hand to control the bubble and send it flying off of the other side of the dam and into the ground below. Hydro-Girl dives into the water and swims downwards until she spots the unconscious Kevin, she caresses his face before carrying him back up to the surface.

Hydro-Girl begs Kevin to speak to her, the little boy then begins coughing up water and is assisted by a relieved Hydro-Girl. Almost instantly, Hydro-Girl's relief changes to worry as she senses that her old nemesis, Vortak, has been brought over to Earth and is on the move. Hydro-Girl declare that they must return to Downpour City, with Kevin questioning how they plan to do so.

Without hesitation, Hydro-Girl blows a bubble around Kevin's head, as she plans on travelling through the water at super speed and this is the only way for Kevin to both travel with her and breath. Whilst on their journey, Hydro-Girl and Kevin stop in the middle of the ocean to help a military pilot who got taken down by Vortak from drowning, the pilot mentions that Vortak is flying towards Downpour.

As Vortak begins his hellish assault on Downpour City, Hydro-Girl and Kevin arrive and see all the death and destruction caused. Kevin sees Vortak and asks Hydro-Girl how she will defeat him, Hydro-Girl reveals to Kevin that this is the last they'll see each other as this battle requires her to walk alone. Kevin sheds a few tears upon hearing this, and Hydro-Girl catches one in her palm. This prompts Hydro-Girl to ask Kevin to place his hand on hers, he does so and the bond creates a bright blue light that materialises into a floating artefact known as the Ukala, which will help her in her battle against Vortak. Kevin wishes his friend good luck in her battle, Hydro-Girl gives him a warm smile.

Making her way through fire and numerous charred corpses, Hydro-Girl keeps her head down and leaps onto the roof of a building where she finally confronts the sadistic Vortak. The two speak, with Hydro-Girl declaring that she will defeat him for all the Aqua-Iravians and humans who have suffered, Vortak mockingly questions how she will manage. Hydro-Girl then brings out the Ukala and pushes it into her abdomen before Vortak strikes her, sending Hydro-Girl flying into the nearby river as Kevin worryingly looks on.

The water begins to spiral, catching the attention of both Vortak and Kevin as a bright blue light appears. Hydro-Girl, now increased in size, rises from the water with a hateful glare as Vortak expresses excitement at their oncoming battle. Hydro-Girl stands tall above the trees, staring down her enemy. From within, Hydro-Girl manages to help Eileen Howells connect their minds, which according to Hydro-Girl will increase their fighting spirit and chances of winning.

As Hydro-Girl and Vortak stare each other down, the demon continues talking down to Hydro-Girl as he pulls a fire sword from his back and makes one final comment on how he attacked her planet years ago. The two titans then charge at one another, with Hydro-Girl ducking beneath the swinging blade of Vortak but he manages to slash her upside the back from behind.

The injured Hydro-Girl manages to keep composure, but she is then impaled through the shoulder by Vortak's fire blade and is pinned to a building. Kevin shouts out in distress which Vortak hears, he then stares directly at the child who is standing on the side-lines. Vortak slowly begins approaching Kevin as Hydro-Girl watches in anguish. She begins making an effort to pull the sword out of her shoulder. Vortak closes in on Kevin and raises his fist to squish the child as he wishes not to waste his power on him, Hydro-Girl quickly manages to remove the sword and get back on her feet to face Vortak.

Hydro-Girl quickly delivers a couple of strong blows to Vortak's face before falling back, holding her bloodied up fists as Vortak delivers a powerful strike to her face which causes her to stumble backwards into a nearby bridge. With Hydro-Girl dazed, Vortak grabs her by the throat and raises her in the air as Kevin watches in horror. Vortak declares that he has won and that Hydro-Girl has let the people of Earth down.

Vortak then smacks Hydro-Girl which causes her to fall to the ground again, Kevin begins panicking and begs Hydro-Girl to get up as she begs the rain to assist her. The raindrops glow as they splash onto Hydro-Girl's skin, giving her enough energy to get back up as her powers begin channelling into her hands. Vortak then shoots fire out of his hand at Hydro-Girl who blocks it with her hands, the stream of fire continues and Hydro-Girl begins to weaken due to taking in too much of Vortak's fire.

From within Hydro-Girl's consciousness, Eileen begins yelling out to Vortak who mocks the human as their clash of energy continues. Vortak stops his fire, and the weakened Hydro-Girl loses balance and falls into the river below her as her eyes dim. A worried Kevin sprints down to the fallen demigod and stands in front of her face. Hydro-Girl looks down at Kevin as he places his hand on her cheek, she smiles at him as the water from the river begins surging up Hydro-Girl's legs.

The powered up Hydro-Girl tells Kevin to get to safety as her eyes begin emitting a powerful blue glow again, she makes one final stand against Vortak and begins harnessing this newfound power. This causes an incredibly bright blue light to emit from Hydro-Girl, blinding both Vortak and Kevin who watches from the side-lines. Vortak becomes afraid of this, shielding himself from the light which eventually envelopes him and almost all of this section of Downpour City.

As the blue light fades, Kevin looks and notices that both Hydro-Girl and Vortak have disappeared before reuniting with his parents who had seen him on television. People hiding in the streets come out into the lightened sky as a news anchor begins addressing the aftermath and state of the city. The news anchor addresses Hydro-Girl and thanks her for her heroism in stopping Vortak. A blue glow is then seen emitting from deep in the water near Downpour City.

### *Urban Lizard*

After Kevin Faing defeats Natalie Norcio on an oilrig, Kevin wonders how he's going to get back to land. He is then offered a ride from Hydro-Girl, greeting him with a warm smile.

### *Lacius: Return of Osseus*

When Lacius collapsed after his final battle with Osseus, Hydro-Girl took him back to the healing pools of Aqua-Irava's caves and kept him there until he regained consciousness. Hydro-Girl happily greeted her son and revealed that she had brought his lover Wanda to come see him. As both Lacius and Wanda embrace, Hydro-Girl smiles.

### *Hydro-Girl and the Four Agents*

Eileen and Hydro-Girl are shown to be still inhabiting the same life and therefore problems arise when both Eileen and her boyfriend Darren make love, as it reminds Hydro-Girl of Kevin which causes her emotional pain. Eileen however deeply understands Hydro-Girl's feelings and decides to speak to her out in the backyard.

Hydro-Girl is apologetic towards Eileen as she believes she has ruined the human woman's life and has caused Eileen to be dishonest, Eileen instead insists that she should be thankful towards Hydro-Girl as she saved her life initially. Eileen then suggests the idea of Hydro-Girl and Darren having some time to get to know each other, an idea that Hydro-Girl agrees to take part in.

When Eileen and Darren go to a concert, a portal opens and four beings known as the Anamaga come through and begin wreaking havoc. When the arena stage is partially destroyed and set aflame, Eileen decides it's time and runs from Darren to hide behind the stage. She morphs into Hydro-Girl who immediately jumps on stage and extinguishes the flames with her powerful water stream blasts. Hydro-Girl then finds the cowering singer and tells him to get to safety.

The Anamaga then hover down towards Hydro-Girl who immediately attacks them with her water blasts, but they are simply evaporated by one of the beings' Tempus sword blades. One of the Anamaga named Rakuru, strikes Hydro-Girl upside the shoulder with her Tempus blade and injures her. The group's leader, Teahi, suggests that they and Hydro-Girl have a history but she insists she does not remember them. Teahi slashes Hydro-Girl in the same shoulder and decides to give her time to rethink her choices, while the rest of the group suggest Hydro-Girl to join back with them.

The Anamaga leave, and Hydro-Girl reverts back into Eileen to meet up with Darren. When Darren confronts her about her frequent disappearing antics Eileen finally decides to reveal her secret, and transforms into Hydro-Girl who greets Darren. Darren is in complete awe at first and rapidly asks questions to the tall woman, who puts her hand on his chest and mentions how his heart is beating rapidly and suggests he calm down. Hydro-Girl then notices Darren's pet cat whom she takes a liking to.

Sitting on the bed with Darren, Hydro-Girl answers his many questions and reveals to him how she doesn't understand the concept of a childhood as she never had one and was always training to become a warrior. She also goes on to mention how her parents were farmers, and that's all she knows about them. Darren shows sympathy for Hydro-Girl which causes her to shed a tear as he is the first person to listen to what she has to say and she requests to hold him. The two embrace.

Later that night, Hydro-Girl accidently stumbles upon Darren getting out of the shower and she apologises due to Earth's customs not to gaze upon the nude. They both consider what will happen with sleeping arrangements, with Darren suggesting she have the bed and he sleeps on the couch but Hydro-Girl immediately suggests they lie together as she doesn't want him to be alone. As the night goes on, Darren wakes up to find Hydro-Girl crouching by his side of the bed and watching him sleep. As Hydro-Girl states she cannot sleep, Darren thinks of an idea to tire them both out easily.

The two venture out to a nightclub where Hydro-Girl is welcomed with praise and excitement, with some even choosing to take selfies with her. The bartender offers Hydro-Girl a beverage and as time goes on, Darren gets mildly intoxicated but Hydro-Girl does not and she giggles at his behaviour. Two women nearby then make a comment about how Hydro-Girl can do so much better than Darren, who they mention is shorter than her, this is met by an unhappy scowl from Hydro-Girl until the intoxicated Darren collapses face-first into her chest.

The shocked Hydro-Girl smiles and gently lifts Darren's head up, she then places her hand on his forehead and a blue glow emits from her palm. Darren wakes up completely sober and confused at what had just happened, Hydro-Girl looks off to the nearby dancefloor and sees a couple romantically dancing with one another. Hydro-Girl turns to Darren and asks if they can do the same, Darren accepts and leads Hydro-Girl to the blue-lit dancefloor. The two then clasp hands and begin dancing with one another before finally deciding to return to Darren's home.

Thanking Darren for the night out, Hydro-Girl asks if she should continue watching him sleep or not. Darren awkwardly tells Hydro-Girl that he and Eileen usually have this routine where he gives her a foot massage before bed to which Hydro-Girl agrees to stand in for Eileen. As Darren massages her, he asks if she's ever had a massage before to which Hydro-Girl mentions she has, a very long time ago from a man "very close" to her. Darren asks who the lucky man was, Hydro-Girl instead mentions how she believes that she was the lucky one.

As Darren sleeps, Hydro-Girl wakes up and the balcony door is blown through by Teahi who has arrived with the rest of the Anamaga. Darren is woken up by the commotion and is held hostage by Rakuru, Teahi states that her time is up but Hydro-Girl continues standing by the fact that she does not remember him nor the others. Hydro-Girl then attempts to stop Rakuru from harming Darren but is stabbed through the chest by Anamaga member Kahaneko, Teahi tells Hydro-Girl to come to them in the Dimension of the Exiled if she wants her friend back. The Anamaga then take Darren back with them as Hydro-Girl looks on in pain.

Hydro-Girl travels to Aqua-Irava in search of answers and finds Omeka and describes how they keep wanting her to join them, Omeka's reaction suggests that she knows the situation and leads Hydro-Girl to a cave whilst explaining that Hydro-Girl used to be part of a team called the Anamaga which was an defensive elite force for Aqua-Irava until Teahi believed he deserved better than being expendable and therefore allowed himself to be corrupted by Kino.

Omeka saw what was happening and therefore banished Teahi and the others to a pocket dimension except for Hydro-Girl, and her memories with the Anamaga were locked inside the hilt of her Tempus sword which Omeka placed inside the very cave they have now entered. Omeka tells Hydro-Girl that she will need her Tempus sword as it is the only way to kill an Anamaga. Hydro-Girl approaches and walks up the stone steps of the shrine holding the Tempus sword before igniting it, a blue blade of light then shot up from the hilt much to Hydro-Girl's surprise. Sensing her touching the Tempus sword, Teahi opened a portal to the Dimension of the Exiled, believing Hydro-Girl had made her choice to join back with the Anamaga.

Walking through the portal, Hydro-Girl found herself in the Anamaga's prison dimension and was confronted by her old allies. Teahi excitingly announced Hydro-Girl's choice but she instead challenged them, causing Teahi to offer a proposal: If Hydro-Girl defeats them then they'll hand over Darren but if she were to lose, Hydro-Girl would have to join back with the Anamaga. Hydro-Girl raised her Tempus sword without saying a word as the Anamaga approached her with their own weapons drawn. Rakuru was the first to attack but was easily fended off by Hydro-Girl who then clashed with both Kahaneko and Kohangi who was sorry for his actions.

Rakuru manages to deliver a slash to Hydro-Girl's leg which makes her kneel which makes Teahi grin and approach her, mocking her for believing she could defeat them alone. Darren watched on in worry as Teahi then drives his Tempus sword towards Hydro-Girl who is rescued by Kohangi who steps in front of the blade, greatly angering Teahi who calls him a traitor. Hydro-Girl uses this distraction as an opportunity to eliminate Kahaneko with a slash to his face before moving onto Teahi as the two clash with each other, Hydro-Girl headbutts her opponent, takes his Tempus sword and gets into a brief scuffle with Rakuru. Hydro-Girl manages to decapitate Rakuru.

Teahi grabs Hydro-Girl by the arm and disarms her, she attempts to use her own Tempus sword to attack but is grabbed again and kneed in the stomach by Teahi. Darren decides to take a leap of faith, calculating the low gravity field in this dimension. Teahi grabs Hydro-Girl by the neck and shoves her into the ground and raises his arm to strike, he is then stabbed through the torso by Darren using Kohangi's Tempus sword which does little effect at first. Teahi stares down Darren before Hydro-Girl swings him around and stabs her Tempus sword through his neck, killing Teahi once and for all. As Hydro-Girl and Darren reunite, they are both teleported out of the dimension and back to Aqua-Irava by Omeka.

Darren is reunited with Eileen and the two meet Omeka, who announces that Hydro-Girl has now made the decision to be separated from Eileen's body so that Eileen can live her life in peace with Darren, stating she is very lucky to know him after their spending time with each other. Content with Hydro-Girl's decision, Eileen shakes her hand and thanks her for everything as does Hydro-Girl for her friendship. Omeka then takes Darren and Eileen home.

Back on Earth, Hydro-Girl takes up employment at a high school in Howlite City under the disguise of a human with the alias Harleen Griffin.

### *End of the Line*

Hydro-Girl (as Harleen Griffin) continues working within Howlite High School as a history teacher and bids her class farewell after a lesson, tired from the day Hydro-Girl lays her head down onto her desk and sleeps. She then experiences a flashback of her as a baby being cradled by her parents which is then interrupted by a sudden image of her parents with glowing purple eyes.

Upon waking up, Hydro-Girl is met by Omeka who has also adopted a human form and the two begin speaking. Omeka has visited in order to tell Harleen of the occurrences going on lately (purple skies, Hydro-Girl's nightmares, etc) and this causes Hydro-Girl great distress as she wishes they had killed a being called Motesius long ago. Due to Motesius being a natural element, this cannot be done.

Omeka tells Hydro-Girl that Motesius' temple is under siege by a power she cannot locate and that she requires assistance, telling her that Motesius' release will cause instability among the dimensions and that Hydro-Girl will see things that she will not believe. Hydro-Girl looks on as Omeka leaves the classroom.

As Hydro-Girl places her hand on her face she is suddenly met by student Ryan Lennon who announces his presence via knocking on the doorway, Harleen greets him and asks what she can help him with. Ryan states he simply forgot his planner and retrieves it from his table. Harleen and Ryan briefly talk, leading to Harleen asking if Ryan's parents ever worry about him. Ryan mentions that his father's barely around, which causes Hydro-Girl to feel guilt over Kevin's death and wishes he could have met his son Lacius.

Still under the disguise of Harleen Griffin, Hydro-Girl travels to an island which she considers her happy place, and sits on the ground whilst staring up into the sky. She is then greeted by Lacius (under his own human disguise, Lucas) who sits down next to his mother. Lacius inquires about why his mother seems sad, Hydro-Girl tells him that she feels like she's at fault for his father's death and that she shouldn't have let him into dangerous situations.

Lacius denies this and claims that his father was brave and "knew the risks", he then tells her that she cannot continue laying on such a burden and that she must let it go. Lacius suggests his mother meditate, so she sheds her human disguise and travels into the ocean in order to meditate as fish circle her vicinity. Within her mediation, she has a vision of holding a deceased Kevin in her arms at the very place it happened: Downpour Hospital.

Within this vision, she is then met by a cryptic voice coming from the sky and looks up to see a bright purple glow slowly radiating from the clouds. Four gigantic tentacles then sprout from a circular portal as the voice continues, claiming it can "correct". The tentacles get closer and closer, the vision ends and Hydro-Girl blacks out. She wakes up in an abstract dimension and slowly climbs to her feet, she looks around and wonders where she has landed. As she calls out to Omeka, she is met with a very aggressive voice and turns to face the source.

Hydro-Girl is shocked to see two women looking back at her, both baring a strong resemblance to her. Hydro-Girl ask for their names, the flame-haired one known as Queen Tyrignia refusing whilst the short-haired variant, Amphitrite, approaches Hydro-Girl with curiosity. Both Hydro-Girl and this doppelganger clasp hands, with Hydro-Girl wondering if they are sisters. The three women speak with one another, with Hydro-Girl briefly becoming shocked as Queen Tyrignia mentions how Aqua-Irava is no more in her universe.

When Queen Tyrignia mentions how she was teleported by a purple gateway, causing Hydro-Girl to realise that Motesius' temple must still be broken. Suddenly, another portal opens nearby and the three Hydro-Girls are met with another similar-looking woman who scans her surroundings. She notices the original Hydro-Girl and comments on her nudity, as she is clothed. The four Hydro-Girls converse with one another and are all aware of Motesius in one way or another.

Hydro-Girl explains to them that Motesius cannot be killed due to his very existence keeping the outer dimensions from mingling with one another. Hydro-Girl and the clothed Hydro-Girl have a brief exchange of origins, with both mentioning Eileen Howells. Before the clothed Hydro-Girl can say something a bright light erupts in the sky and causes all but the original Hydro-Girl to begin floating. As the three Hydro-Girls are carried off into the sky, the four tentacles from earlier reappear and repeats that it able to "correct" and alludes to something waiting for her in Downpour.

This entity then begins influencing Hydro-Girl's mind as she falls to her knees, her eyes then change to a shade of purple as she is sent back to Earth. Hydro-Girl travels to the ruins of Downpour where she wanders around until she is met by a group of people wearing nothing but black, have purple glowing eyes and lacking mouths. They communicate to Hydro-Girl via telepathy and guide her to their small village within the ruins as she claims she is looking for Motesius.

She is taken by the group to a campfire sporting a purple flame and state that they can help her bring back loved ones, they sit around the purple flame and one of the group members demonstrate their power by resurrecting a dead crow much to Hydro-Girl's shock. Requiring a tear in order to bring back a person, Hydro-Girl begins to cry and a tear falls into the palm of one of the group members. The tear is then dropped into the purple flame which begins to glow immensely before a human form takes shape, Kevin Harrison was back from the dead.

As Hydro-Girl stared at him completely shocked, Kevin noticed her and the two embraced one another, Hydro-Girl suddenly noticed Kevin's eyes glowing purple much to her horror. She then watched as Kevin transformed into the large thorn-covered entity known as Motesius. Hydro-Girl is grabbed by the throat and mocked by the imposing Motesius before she is punched into the ground. She then looks on as Motesius transforms his followers into small hunched creatures.

Looking on in horror as Motesius announces his plans to spread his influence to the rest of humankind and mentions how Hydro-Girl failed to rescue Kevin long ago, this enrages her and so she and rushes Motesius before delivering powerful strikes to his abdomen. These prove to be futile as Motesius grabs her fist as she glares angrily into his eyes, he pushes her away. Hydro-Girl then powers up her water stream and fires it at full blast but it proves useless against Motesius who simply blasts her away with his own energy-based powers.

This blast sends Hydro-Girl into a hallucination where he is ambushed by three of her past enemies such as Rezur, Lilith, and Kore. Lilith manages to slash Hydro-Girl upside the back. As Hydro-Girl attempts to attack she is knocked down and overwhelmed. In reality Hydro-Girl is overpowered by a group of Motesius' minions until they are smacked away by him as he uses his power to generate a giant beam shooting up from the campfire and into the sky. Hydro-Girl becomes horrified at what she has caused as the beam begins spreading a purple sky all across the world.

After Motesius departs into space to continue his mission, an ashamed Hydro-Girl remains on the ground as Motesius' minions circle her. They are suddenly blasted away by yellow beams of light fired by Omeka, Hydro-Girl gets up and is immediately guilty of possibly dooming the entirety of humanity. Omeka explains her understanding of how loss can be tough and that there is still time to stop Motesius, the two travel to Aqua-Irava after Hydro-Girl questions how to stop her new enemy.

Once on Aqua-Irava, Omeka takes Hydro-Girl to the caves and notifies her that Motesius has generated a massive sphere of his own power that he plans to collide with Earth to transform everyone into his mindless followers. Hydro-Girl is saddened to hear that Omeka plans on sacrificing herself to stop the sphere itself, and that Hydro-Girl has to take it from there. Upon hearing this, Hydro-Girl is shown a suit of armour she must use in the fight against Motesius as it is the only way to withstand his power.

Before donning the suit, Hydro-Girl hugs Omeka and thanks her for everything she has taught her. As the sphere closes in on Earth, Hydro-Girl travels back to Downpour whilst Omeka ends her own life in destroying the sphere and keeping Earth safe. Upon witnessing this, Hydro-Girl punches the ground in anger until she is comforted by Lacius who has just arrived with some other allies to help in the upcoming fight. Hydro-Girl firstly apologises to them all for what she has caused but she is shown support, and eventually walks into the beam which takes her to Motesius' lair.

Donning the suit of armour Omeka had given her, Hydro-Girl leaps towards Motesius and challenges him to a final battle. She rushes Motesius and is pushed backwards by his immense strength, Hydro-Girl is then thrown through the air and onto the ground, Motesius approaches as Hydro-Girl shoots up and lands a forceful strike upon Motesius' face but he appears unaffected. Using both hands, Motesius hits Hydro-Girl with a blast of his power which sends her into the ground again.

Climbing to her feet to fight again, Hydro-Girl is grabbed by the face by Motesius and slammed into the ground, Motesius then uses his other hand to deliver a powerful punch to Hydro-Girl's stomach and her face before throwing her into the ground. Hydro-Girl once again gets back up with a bleeding nose and her fist is grabbed by Motesius who lifts her up by her arm, he claims she is alone before crushing the armour surrounding her arm and then drops her. Hydro-Girl collapses as Motesius kneels down over her and delivers a series of blows to her face.

Motesius grabs Hydro-Girl and drags her to a certain spot before using his power to open a portal depicting an alternate reality that he offers to her, one where she and Kevin are together and live a normal life with an infant Lacius and are a happy family. Hydro-Girl remembers how gullible she was beforehand and angrily rejects the offer before managing to break off one of Motesius' thorns from his body. Motesius easily knocks the thorn out of Hydro-Girl's hand before he notices purple mist exiting the wound where the spike used to be.

The mist travels into Hydro-Girl's hand which causes her to feel a new power, her eyes begin glowing purple as she raises her arms in the air. This creates two portals in the area which causes Motesius great distress, he then punches Hydro-Girl to the ground before preparing to deliver one final blow. Motesius is stopped by the arrival of both the clothed Hydro-Girl and Queen Tyrignia who attack him, succeeding in exploiting his weakened state. The two distract him long enough for Hydro-Girl to build up her new power which causes her to lift off the ground, she then sprouts multicoloured wings from her back as Motesius watches with fear.

Hydro-Girl then unleashes a bright powerful blast of purple energy directly onto Motesius, destroying him once and for all and ending his reign. Hydro-Girl floats back down to the ground as her wings dissolve and the other Hydro-Girls approach with caution. The clothed Hydro-Girl points out the glowing orbs on Hydro-Girl's armour, the two guess that Motesius' energy must've been absorbed by the armour itself. Due to Motesius' powers passing onto Hydro-Girl, she now keeps the dimensions from colliding simply by being, just like Motesius before her.

The four Hydro-Girls bid each other farewell and the armoured Hydro-Girl uses her newfound power to send her "sisters" back to their own worlds before returning to greet her allies below. Hydro-Girl expresses her appreciation for the help and hugs everyone, deeming them as family. Sometime later Hydro-Girl (as Harleen) visits the grave of Danny Torrance and thanks him for his help and commends him for his bravery before returning to work as a teacher at Howlite High School where she bids her class farewell and looks out the window at the blue sky, finally at peace.

### *Pan II*

As she ends one of her lessons for the day, Harleen notices Ryan Lennon sleeping as everyone leaves and walks over to him out of concern before waking him up. Harleen asks him about his recent naps during class. Ryan reassures her that he's fine and as he leaves, Harleen suggests getting more sleep and to come talk to her if he needs to.

As the schooldays ends, Harleen sits outside the school reading a book before Ryan approaches her with sunken in eyes much to Harleen's concern as she mentions that he was quiet all day. Ryan insists he needs to talk to her and Harleen welcomes him to, Ryan tells her about his recent trauma but hides it behind a "dream" he's been having lately where he fails to save people.

Harleen tells Ryan that she has had similar dreams where she cannot protect everyone, but lets him know not to let their deaths be in vain as a protector fights on. This talk proves useful as Ryan leaves happier than he was before.

## Personality

Hydro-Girl is quite the caring and friendly individual, showing kindness towards almost any lifeform she crosses paths with and always gives them a warm smile when speaking to them. When she first met Kevin when he was a child, she shook his hand and expressed how nice it was to meet him. She also demonstrates an understanding nature towards Kevin, who vents about his personal issues as an adult to her at one point.

Modesty is another personality trait that Hydro-Girl possesses, as she kindly refutes Kevin's claim that she is an angel. Another example is that when Omeka offers Hydro-Girl the position of becoming a Goddess, Hydro-Girl turns it down and claims that she was not worthy of such a role at the time.

Hydro-Girl also possesses a mild sense of wisdom, but is still quite naïve at times as she had intercourse with an adult Kevin despite Omeka's immense disapproval. She is also shown to be quite insecure of her appearance as when Kevin refuses to look at her (due to her nudity), Hydro-Girl misunderstands it as him finding her ugly.

## Powers & Abilities

### Supernatural Strength

As with all Aqua-Iravians, Hydro-Girl was born with supernatural strength that she had soon unlocked through becoming a demigoddess. Such demonstrations of her strength appear throughout the HydroVerse, as she was also trained in hand-to-hand combat and primarily uses her legs to attack her enemies. In *Hydro-Girl Returns*, Hydro-Girl manages to catch a plane from falling into the ground and sets it down as carefully as possible.

### Supernatural Agility

Hydro-Girl demonstrates supernatural agility at various occasions throughout the HydroVerse due to her status as a demigoddess, one primary use of her agility is travelling through water at high speeds.

### Supernatural Durability

Another part of becoming a demigoddess is Hydro-Girl's durability, as she is able to hold her own in a fight. Hydro-Girl's skin however is susceptible to gunfire as seen in the first *Hydro-Girl* comic, where her ankle was pierced by a specialised bullet from a sniper rifle.

### Enhanced Healing

Hydro-Girl is able to heal from any wounds she may endure in her battles, but her healing doesn't happen instantly and can take minutes.

### Tempus Sword

A part of her past training, Hydro-Girl is skilled with using the Aqua-Iravian weapon known as the Tempus Sword although she almost never uses the weapon. Hydro-Girl did wield a blue-bladed Tempus Sword during her alignment with the Anamaga.

### Hydro Stream

The most generally used ability that Hydro-Girl possesses, she is able to fire incredibly powerful streams of water-based energy from her hands that are strong enough to send enemies airborne. In *Hydro-Girl Returns*, it is revealed that she is also able to channel these streams from her mouth when her hands are occupied.

### Size Change

When met with a formidable foe, Hydro-Girl will utilise the power of an Aqua-Iravian artefact known as the Ukala which can only be created through the tears of someone who believes in her. In Hydro-Girl: Remastered, Hydro-Girl catches one of Kevin's tears before asking him to take her hand and thus the Ukala is created. Hydro-Girl pushes the Ukala into her stomach, causing her to become big enough to battle Vortak.

Before Hydro-Girl: Remastered introduced the Ukala, Hydro-Girl changed her size through a risky procedure where she would use all of her inner energy. As seen in the original *Hydro-Girl* comic, Hydro-Girl died after using up all of her energy to change her size but was later resurrected by Omeka. In *Battle for Downpour*, Hydro-Girl repeated this ability to fight Corvus' Malum form but this time it only caused her to bleed from her nose and fall into a comatose state.

### Hydro Shield

With sufficient energy, Hydro-Girl is able to generate a shield around herself primarily to deflect gunfire of any kind.

### Hydro Control

Being the demigoddess of water, Hydro-Girl has the limited ability to control the element of water to her liking. Performing this ability however, drains considerable amounts of her energy so she compromises via her Hydro Stream.

### Bubble Snap

In *Hydro-Girl: Remastered* as Kevin is held at gunpoint by a member of the Downpour Crime Syndicate, Hydro-Girl notices and with the snap of her fingers the ammunition is instantly transformed into bubbles. However, this power is limited to small weapons.

### Teleportation

Hydro-Girl is able to teleport from planet to planet with ease, and she generally uses it for travel to places such as Earth and Aqua-Irava.

### Hydro Travel

In various situations, Hydro-Girl has demonstrated the ability to travel via any water source.

### Body Transference

Hydro-Girl's most notable ability is possession, as she transferred herself into the body of Eileen Howells in order to stop her from dying from brain trauma.

### Disguise Generation

In *Hydro-Girl 5: Shadow of the Wolf*, Hydro-Girl demonstrated the ability to generate a human disguise for herself to bypass an airport terminal as Eileen Howells was deceased at this time.

## Trivia

* Hydro-Girl's model is a recoloured and later modified Cammy from the Street Fighter series of games.
