"Oh, they're technically misty, but the Cherokees used to call it the place of blue smoke because of all the mist up there. So Smoky Mountains." Columbia did have quite a knowledge of national parks. The All-American was taught about All (of) America. Was it a comprehensive education all around? Absolutely not. But it did make her very knowledgeable in a few hyper-specific areas that most people could care less about. But, she would try to keep her non-sequitur at least a little short, other matters to attend to and all. "My name is Star Sen-- Columbia Washington. Code Name: Star Sentinel. Lady Liberty in the flesh."
It took considerable effort on Columbia's part not to strike the pose as she said her name. But it didn't seem like the time.
"I get all of the hero stuff, I was doing some basic hero stuff in the US before I was invited to attend here at UA. I do like your take on it though." Columbia's laughter would hopefully come off as the light hearted banter she had intended. She appreciated the perspective, even if, in the back of her mind, she thought of it as idealistic. She didn't wanna verbalize thoughts like that though. Servants of the State though, it was certainly an idea she could understand. Though, in many ways far differently than Jun did.
"I mean, my whole gimmick is repping the country, so I get the public servant vibe. I've saved a cat or two from a tree."

That same plastered smile never really seemed to leave Columbia's face. The closest the girl ever got to wearing a mask. "I was given the official tour. However as anyone from Tennessee would tell you," the girl continued, "a guided tour of the Smokey Mountains is far different than living there." Columbia proudly beamed her idiom as if it had any meaning to someone who, in all likelihood, didn't know what Tennessee or the Smokey Mountains were. And so Sentinel tilted her head to the side before clarifying.
"I know where to find the bathrooms and the dorms, but I want to know more about what it means to be a student here. Not just in UA but here in Japan. This place is way different than any high school I've ever attended." That claim mostly went without saying, as Columbia had never attended an actual high school. But other people didn't need to know she was THAT different. Not yet at least. One day she would reveal who she really was, when it could be used as leverage, to make those who had done it to her bleed.
It took a few moments for Columbia to realize she had stopped talking, and stopped smiling as well. Letting her thoughts rile her up to much, she quickly fixed her expression. "You seemed like a helpful person. And I need to meet new people before I go mad. So far away from all my friends and family (a.k.a. no one), from anyone who's heard of me before."

Star Sentinel was still trying hard to get used to this absolutely horrid environment she found herself in. Hell, she was still internally referring to herself as her codename, and not the fictional name she was SUPPOSED to be presenting as her one true name. Beyond that, however, sharing living spaces, eating spaces, even lavatories with these people, it was already growing tiring to the girl. It reminded her far too much of the lab space. And there was certainly a reason she had been insisting on such solitary places since she managed to get any sort of power in her relationship. She was going to be trying her damnedest to avoid any scenario that reminded her of that place.
And yet here she was. Fraternizing. With these... well certainly some of them could eventually be called heroes. Most, by Sentinel's estimation, would never really deserve a term like that. They were weaklings, whose quirks were no better than the flimsy needles the scientists needlessly bent trying to pierce her skin. Still though, her assignment was to "make friends" and "be a normal college student". It didn't make any sense to her, but some marketing genius way below her non-existent pay-grade had certainly run the numbers and decided that her making friends at this Japanese hero school would benefit their missions back in the state.
Okay Columbia, you're meant to make good impressions and make friends. Who here looks like they could use a friend? she would meander around the cafeteria as she thought, analyzing the room until her eyes fell onto a Red-head. Not only sat alone, some people seemingly making active effort to avoid sitting next to her. Lonely? That had to be the case, Columbia couldn't imagine sitting all alone like that and not feeling lonely, being trapped with your thoughts.
So it was a no brainer for the girl to plop herself down right across from Jun, a well-practiced smile plastering itself across her face. "HELLO!" Columbia would suddenly burst out before remembering she was speaking English, "I am sorry. Forgot I am no longer in the United States, it is nice to meet you. I am new, and was looking for someone who might... "show me the ropes", Does that phrase translate?"

Columbia is outwardly a prototypical Poster-Child. She is a bright beam of American Pride with a beaming smile at all times, a friendly personality inviting all around her to stand in excitement with her. She is a well trained advocate for the American Dream, an infectious, near boundless energy. The girl is all bubbles, all the time in public. A carefully crafted image to try and make her as likeable as possible. People who analyze her incredibly closely may even notice that her movements themselves seem to be trained. Her laugh is rehearsed. She is an actor, the entire world her audience at all times. This happy outward exterior is barely containing a ball of unhinged lust for power and bloodshed. Columbia's entire personality is simply a facade. Similar to the very makeup of her body, she is a barely contained nuclear reactor. Explosive and volatile, Columbia has been raised from birth as if she was the single most important thing in the world. That mentality has infected every element of her personality. She is completely self-absorbed. She genuinely believes that she is above every other person alive. She is more than human. The adoration that she has been trained to generate, she believes that she is simply deserving of it. More than adoration, she believes she is deserving of abject worship. This attitude does not simply apply to her. She has a "Might is Right" mentality to most things. The strong lead, the weak follow and serve. In that vein, all with quirks are simply better than the rest, and even among those with quirks, the strongest quirks were markers of the strongest wills. The strongest people. And anything holding the strong back from their desires needs to be removed. Needless to say, Columbia has learned to hide these parts of herself away. She's a public figure, and has been raised to be one since birth. She's been in the public image her entire life and thus she is incredibly gifted at manufacturing her outward image. She knows how to act to get people to cheer her on, to get them to adore her. She's taken this training to her private life as well. She shows her real self to almost no one to make sure that she can continue to receive the praise she desires. It's that desire for praise that is perhaps her biggest crutch. Because she so firmly believes she deserves it, the lack of praise hurts her. She is in constant need of approval from others. This desire for approval is what holds her back from acting on her baser instincts. She's scared of causing too much bloodshed, because she knows that if people are too scared, they won't give her the adoration she wants so badly. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE » HEIGHT: 5'3"/160cm » WEIGHT: Fluctuates » EYE COLOR: Blue » HAIR COLOR: Blonde » SKIN COLOR: Fair » FACE CLAIM NAME: DC Comics » FACE CLAIM SERIES: Kara Zor-El/Supergirl Columbia is, in an incredible number of ways, the quintessential stereotype of a young American Girl Scout. A pretty face with perfect skin, a lean build, and a lovely smile. She has bright sky blue eyes with long, straight flowing golden hair. Her hair is usually kept long, at around shoulder length. She clearly is athletic, though her build is much leaner than one would expect from her style of training. The one point on her body that is not unblemished is one seen by only a handful of eyes. On the back of her skull is chemically burned the number "001". She is most often wearing some kind of American iconography on her clothing. Whether it be an American Flag jacket, a bald eagle on her shirt or shorts, or whether she has simply sewn the letters USA into her clothing at random. When it comes to the actual style of clothing she likes to wear, a lot of it also mimics classic images of Americana. She enjoys wearing denim shorts and jackets mixed with tank tops and cowboy boots. She'll wear varsity style jackets and sweats in American colors. She will wear cowboy hats and baseball caps. She has a specially made hero suit as well. A skin tight bodysuit in Red, Blue, and Gold coloring. She has a matching jacket to go with the bodysuit as well. Both of these items have a large insignia plastered on them. A large S within a diamond to represent her hero name. The body-suit places the insignia on the chest, while her jacket has one on the left shoulder and one on the back. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]HISTORY Columbia Washington was not born with that name. She wasn't born with any name actually. She was born as SPIx001. Simply the identifier used to distinguish her from the other test subjects. 001 never got the opportunity to meet any of the other test subjects, but she could sometimes see the numbers on the back of their heads. The highest number she ever saw was 086. 001 would eventually learn that she was simply the offspring of a random street urchin. She was the product of in vitro fertilization. Paid for by a highly secretive government project to have nameless children, ones that no one would miss. All the parents that were stupid or desperate enough to take the organization's deal would be cared for for 9 months, and then disposed of when their children were born. The children were disposed of as well if they were deemed too weak. But when the doctors tried to tattoo her birth number on her head, the needle broke. This apparently impressed the doctors present enough to change the plan. Columbia was chosen as the primary one to be watched, to be trained up. 001 was told she was special, and because of that she was given special treatment. Her life seemed to be hell regardless. The only thing she could see as "special" was that they apparently let her keep a present her birth mother had intended for her, a stuffed pink rabbit. Her earliest memories were simply of incredible pain. Seeing how much the seemingly invulnerable girl could truly withstand. Locked inside of an oven to see if her skin would blister or burn. Shot at to see if the bullets would scratch her. Dropped from ledges to see if she'd survive. She was not viewed as a child, but as a crash test dummy for whatever sickening experiment the scientists thought up next. All of this just to see what they could do to her without hurting her. 001 didn't fully know how to keep track of the years, but in what she was told was the 12th year of the trial program, the true trials seemed to begin. Other test subjects locked in a room with her. Promised freedom if they could simply scratch her. At first Columbia tried to plead with them, to get them to stand down and maybe they could both survive. Eventually, she stopped trying. Every time she left that room, she seemed to be covered in more and more blood. Getting more and more vicious with every fight. By the time she was 16 she seemed to actually enjoy the carnage. It was at least always met with praise, with better food. She grew to desire that praise more than she wanted the friendship of her fellow subjects. It was after those four years of trials that she was shown to the American public. Given a name, a history: Columbia Washington was born in middle-america. The daughter of a US Marine Veteran father, with a nurse for a mother. She was a simple farm girl, homeschooled from birth, completely unaware of her great power. Until she was 14 years old, when a group of criminals would ransack her family farm, looking to rob them. Her father would try to fight back and the vagrants would open fire on the whole family. Killing Columbia's mother and father, and discovering the girls invulnerability in the process. Columbia would kill the robbers, but be left without a mother or father. Afterwards Columbia would join the JROTC to hopefully represent her country just like her father had. Until the US Government would take notice of the girls spirit and pluck her from obscurity.
This was the story fed to the public, and to the majority in government who were kept out of the loop of this experiment. A story that the girl now dubbed Columbia was more than happy to pretend was hers. It allowed her to escape her past, and to receive the sympathy and praise of millions around the country. The Ultimate Girl Scout was an American Hear-throb. Talk shows, magazine covers, cereal and lunch boxes, her face was placed on all of them. The Agency even staged some heroics for her. She would stop a bank robbery, stop a run-away train, hold up an apartment buildings foundation as those inside fled the crumbling building.
Columbia would spend her next few years as a public icon, and more importantly to the agency that created her, a brilliant advertisement for the American Spirit. It was this decision that lead them to have her apply to the prestigious UAU. An American Icon would travel to Japan both to learn, and to advocate. An understanding of the concept of soft power, that Columbia's presence in Japan would be an expansion of the cultural reach of the country, was seen as a boon. As well as giving the younger hero more training before putting her in real danger.[attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]ITEMS 1x - Pink Stuffed Rabbit [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]ATTRIBUTES » AWARENESS (C)

Limit Breakers: 11 Available | 0/45 Used [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]QUIRK QUIRK NAME: American Made QUIRK RANK: S QUIRK TYPE: Mutation QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Columbia's body is not made the same way that other people's are. In the simplest of terms, the atomic particles that make up her body are more tightly packed than that of other people's. Because of this, her body is made of more stuff in the same amount of space. This is most evidently shown in her weight, where despite her small size she is hundreds of pounds. This is because her bones, muscles, tendons, etc. are 25x denser than normal humans. This has given her the incredible STRENGTH and DURABILITY she has. Every muscle she has has thousands of more muscle fibers, making her muscles more efficient at lifting. She can lift her own bodyweight hundreds of times over. She is bulletproof to your standard firearms and her entire body is tougher than average. QUIRK DRAWBACKS:
Because of the way Columbia's body is made, in the event that she is injured in some way, most medical equipment can't do the surgery necessary to help heal her. If she suffers from an injury, she in many instances has to hope that her body can heal itself. Columbia also can't swim. Her body is too dense to float on any liquid, she would simply sink. And since she still needs oxygen to live she would quickly drown. This incredible density and weight also effects her speed. Maxing her at D- Speed. She can not increase her speed any further through natural means. Columbia also still needs to eat food to survive, but because of the nature of what her body is she has an incredibly high daily calorie intake just to maintain her body, let alone to continue growing muscle. She has to consume nearly 200 thousand calories a day, or around 100 times the average intake for a healthy adult male. This is because her body has an incredibly high metabolic rate, requiring this daily intake to avoid pain and exhaustion. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT NAME: Desert Eagle Mark XIX EQUIPMENT RANK: B- EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: United States Military Issue EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: A specially made pistol for Columbia. The weapon is around 15 lbs before ammunition is added, and is specially made to handle the incredible strength and form of Columbia's denser form. The weapon is made far stronger than a normal gun, and able to handle her incredible strength without breaking. The gun is fitted with specialized heavy rounds which are stronger than normal bullets. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]SKILLS SKILL NAME: MCMAP Training SKILL RANK: C SKILL DESCRIPTION: The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program is a specialized hand-to-hand combat style given to members of the United States Marine Corps. Columbia has been given a course in these combat styles to turn her into an effective hand to hand combatant, in case her normal strength is not enough to get through a regular encounter. She is well trained in this fighting style, able to effectively take down, disarm, and incapacitate even multiple opponents at once. However, Columbia's ego has caused her to phone in a lot of her training, leaving her far less trained than many other combatants. SKILL NAME: Pistol Training SKILL RANK: B- SKILL DESCRIPTION: Receiving extensive training in the use of pistols by US Military, Columbia is well equipped to use her Desert Eagle in both close and long range combat. She has great aim with her weapon when hitting stationary targets, and while her accuracy does lower when she or her target are moving she still has a good eye for these shots.
