Empress Blues

Empress Blues is a New Brazil hero who rose to prominence in late 2000s.

Appearance
Empress Blues wears a full padded bodysuit (dark blue), tall reinforced leather boots and gloves (light blue). Her face is covered by a large white scarf with a floral pattern on it that also acts (visually) as a light and a bit short cape.

Career
She manifested her ability during a hostage drama in a bank. Her mother got killed in the accident which triggered Empress Blues' ability and she wiped out the group of villains performing the heist.

After being adopted by the local hero agency, she quickly proved herself a worthy asset in the field of combat. Despite being a child with little to no combat experience, she did outstandingly well with only raw power (due to the incidents she'd be summoned to causing her great sadness).

As the years went by Empress Blues became more and more desensitized to violence, gradually growing weaker as a result. She goes through intense daily training just to slow her rate of decline.

During the summer of 2015 she partnered up with Vignette in order to track down and capture Braid. The investigation took over two months, culminating in a standoff atop Edifício Itália in which Braid deployed his weapons and was ultimately defeated.

Powers
Empress Blues channels her own sadness to greatly increase her durability, strength and speed. As long as she's sad for any reason, she gains a boost. Only intense sadness grants her superhuman abilities, lesser sadness can boost her up to the peak of a physically trained regular person.
