===Complications===
:'''Fugitive''': Zara is a fugitive from government spies, but unknown to local law enforcement. If she is taken in and ID checks run, then she might get into trouble. Also, the Chinese assume she is dead; if they find out she is still alive and a potential threat they will send other meta-human agents after her...
:'''Enemy''':

===Backdown [PL 10]===
''Attributes 54 +Powers 45 +Advantages 18  +Skills 25 +Defenses 8 = 150 power points''

===History/Backstory===
Zara was born in China to a normal family. She excelled in gymnastics from an early age and was drafted into the rigorous Olympic training program. Her natural abilities became truly special when she discovered that with intense concentration she could control how her body interacted with gravity. By 14 she could not only leap from a standing position and perform multiple spins, she could bounce off the high gym ceiling!

The Chinese government stepped in and co-opted Zara into a secret meta-human program. She was trained in martial arts and disabling security systems. Then she was planted in Emerald City University. By day, she was a shy foreign student, by night she was breaking into American hi-tech firms and stealing industrial secrets for the Mother Country.

One day Zara discovered files at a US government agency detailing atrocities performed by the Chinese military in her hometown, denting her loyalty. She took it upon herself to find out more. She was also becoming enchanted with American culture and freedom (she had led a very sheltered and repressed life so far), and simple joys of things like baseball, burgers, and dance music.

Zara’s “handler” had to facilitate the disposal of this troubled asset. He outed Zara to the Americans, claiming she was a rogue operative, in return for spying charges dropped against some senior Chinese diplomats. She was detained and subjected to enhanced interrogation by the Americans. Zara found herself alone, a pawn in a game, and felt like an abused tool of China.

When the event known as "The Storm" suddenly hit Emerald City, Zara was being transported between high security facilities. The truck was damaged. Zara escaped from her chains, returned to her apartment in Jadetown to pick up her things and empty her bank account, then disappeared into the underground.

Now she is lost and looking for a new cause....

===Pesonality/Powers===
Zara can reduce her body to zero gravity, effectively becoming weightless for leaping/gliding purposes. Then, she can control weight increase to give some control over descent / direction like a skydiver. Her speed of flight is generated from "pushing off" hard surfaces like a swimmer, and hence limited by muscle strength. Combined with her gymnastics training this gives her superhuman agility. She can sprint as fast as a cheetah but once she gets to zero-G she loses traction and starts floating. She cannot do these things if weighed down with heavy clothes or shoes or weapons - hence she must wear her ultra-light gymnastics uniform
