Born in Tacoma to a Korean mother and an African‑American soldier, she learned to translate worlds before she could vote. When an infrastructure chain‑collapse exposed profiteers and polarized mobs, her latent power flared: the Unity Beacon—brief bursts of shared truth that let sworn enemies build together before the light, or the city, went dark.

A focused, demanding empathic field that briefly lowers ideological walls, letting rivals see common facts, shared risk, and win-win paths. It does not brainwash; it clarifies. The effect fades fast, so she must secure plans, laws, or deals before the window of cooperation closes, or the backlash hits.

A sharp knack for coalition mapping: she quickly charts leverage, blockers, and win conditions across people, policy, and time. Think a Sherlock mind palace built for law, logistics, and lived experience. She sequences moves like a heist lead, assigning roles, swapping tactics, and spotting propaganda in real time.

A once-per-crisis, reality-near surge that hard-codes systemic reforms, including infrastructure, protections, and safeguards, into the civic operating system. It needs broad buy-in, legal scaffolding, and personal sacrifice. When used, it locks progress beyond one term, one villain, or one algorithmic panic cycle.

A boardroom giant in tailored armor, it eats opportunity while preaching prosperity. It funds fake unity that centralizes power, uses economic fear to break coalitions, and hides extraction behind glossy dashboards. Every subsidy it takes becomes another jagged tooth in its ever-widening corporate maw.

A time-scarred wraith that drags rights backward, relitigating protections through courts, codes, and coordinated shame. It feeds on nostalgia and silence, rewriting institutions to lock the future out. Each win erases paths she just built, forcing jurisdiction hopping and coalition stretching to counter it.

A meme maker who weaponizes algorithmic outrage, splitting neighbors into perfectly opposed camps. It does not seek power, only paralysis. By flooding channels with clashing claims, it starves coalitions, isolates leaders, and turns governance into a zero-sum, rage-click arena, then monetizes the wreckage.
