=Backstory= ''How do your powers work, and do they look like when they work?'' * When she uses her substance mimicry, her skins turns reflectively black, similar to obsidian. When she uses energy absorption, it manifests as an aura around her that gets bigger the more energy she absorbs. ''Are there many Jews in UEB, or just your family?'' * Just her family, as far as she knows; again, it's tough being minority in a rundown neighborhood, especially when you belong to a ethnicity that's constantly demonized as greedy blood-suckers by media and politicians. They keep quiet about the whole Jew thing except at family reunion and religious ceremonies and such. ''Can you tell me about what you have to do for the family that keeps you busy?'' * Household chores. If you're gonna be a girl, then you gotta do the chores. Oh, but you're not, not really, so you're never gonna be as good at it as real girls. ''What do your parents want you to do with your life? Get married, have kids, go to medical school?'' * They want their son back, which ain't happening. ''When did you first put on the mask? Why?'' * I put on the mask the first time I decided to do something with my powers. The mask is a symbolic line between what I am and what I can be. ''Why do you keep a secret identity?'' * Since my family - among other people - will never understand who I really am, and I owe it to myself to know what kind of person I could be if only no one was there to point fingers at me and tell me what to do. ''Who, outside of the team, knows about your dual identity?'' * Gavin, my only childhood friend, who supports me in my superhero endeavors since he think it's cool. I have a crush on him since forever, but I can't confess my feelings due to my own convoluted identity issues. ''Who thinks the worst of your masked identity?'' * My parents, actually, and they don't even know it's me! They're very traditional people and don't approve of any girl who doesn't knit and cook, never mind going around kicking ass and taking names. ''Why do you care about the team?'' * It's perhaps selfish, but in a way everyone on the team is an outcast in one way or another, just like me, so I feel like I can be myself around them, just like when I'm around my best friend Gavin. ''What or who did the Spiderweb take away from you?'' * Her identity. It's not easy being trans, but it's harder in a rundown neighborhood where people uses their own misery as an excuse to trivialize your struggle.
