Unnatural fire seems to burn from her shoulders. Her eyes do not appear to have pupils, instead they're uniform in appearance and burn a shade of ember. She tends to radiate warmth, but her touch does not burn nor catch things on fire unless she wishes.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>Upon learning all she knew was a lie, that she wasn't human, wasn't even the real Rebecca Carstair, Witchfire turned her back on the world. She began to disconnect from others, feeling progressively more as though she had less in common with those whom she had protected, those who had idolized her so as a performer.<br/><br/>She turned her focus back to her study of the arcane, ignoring attempts to contact her by other heroes. Her study eventually turned to the darker arts, black magic. The knowledge and power began to consume her entirely. She had even used her power to summon and commune with demonic entities. What was left of the part of her that she thought was Rebecca Carstair was a distant memory. She knew now, she was better off a homunculus, she was superior to humans... with her power and ambition, her former fans would no longer cheer for her, they would worship her as a deity.<br/><br/>Of course, she needed someone else... someone who complimented her own abilities. Someone who would be open to her manipulations. She eventually found a kindred soul, in Kara Zor-El, Powergirl. Rebecca approached the ambitious Kryptonian, and demonstrated a point to her... that she was vulnerable to magic. At first, it seemed that Powergirl was more likely to kill her out of initial anger. But Witchfire had other ways of persuading her... she offered the woman not only her service in protecting her from those who would seek to use magic against her but also she offered herself, in return for special consideration and protection. Witchfire soon discovered she needed no magical charms, or mind manipulation on Powergirl. She also began to enjoy being the power behind the throne that Kara would soon ascend. Not long after their initial meeting Rebecca began to reconsider her plans... the way Kara doted on her outside of public light was extremely flattering, and she wondered if perhaps she was just human enough after all, to care for her soon to be Empress.<br/><br/>Powers:<br/>Magical in nature, able to manipulate the minds of others and the elements, in addition to some forms of demonic magic. She is also quite well versed in magical telekinesis, and divination.<br/><br/>Weakness:<br/>While she can enhance her physical traits, or even turn her skin to stone to defend herself, her body is as frail as a human's without her magic.
