This is the moment when you prove how much the mantle belongs to you. You seize control of all your powers, and you defeat even impossible odds to prove you are worthy of the name you carry. You accomplish feats even your predecessors couldn’t do. Of course, after you prove something like that, you can expect still more responsibilities to be placed on your shoulders...

*Sheena's always been fascinated with the surface world ever since she was told as a little larvae/girl that she shouldn't go up top. Nothing stokes curiosity like something being forbidden. After the loss of the 2nd Captain Cockroach, the citizens of Roachtropolis and it's royal family took very much a back seat in the affairs of humanity. While trade and communication still continued there was no insectoid champion in the Bronze Age. She felt that it had been too long since someone had stepped up to the surface and do what she felt was right. She felt the surface world and it's people needed protection and for too long had they hidden away in the warrens. So she would utter the immortal words 'By the Power of Squalor. I have the Power!'
