Vega

Summary
A beautiful, friendly face in Starlight City's heroic scene, Vega may seem like a classic psychic with telekinesis and telepathy, but is actually a mage who can use her magic to act in other ways, through Power Stunts, Ritualist, and Artificer. Her most iconic powers are her Telepathy and Telekinesis - her most iconic traits, her kindness and humor.

Backstory
Abigail Asch was born to Delilah, Elijah, and Ariel Asch, a polycule made up of two famous artists (an actress and a musician) and an astronomer. The three of them raised her privately, keeping her out of the public eye as much as possible, but she still made appearances in local theater as well as submitting a few art pieces and short stories to galleries and magazines.

Ariel began teaching Gail magic in the tradition of her family, a long line of witches, when she turned 16, and she took to it like a duck to water. It wasn't until she was 18, however, that Ariel - secretly the superheroine Starshine - allowed Gail to become a heroine and join her as her sidekick and protege, Vega.

At the beginning of May 2021, however, Starshine - as well as the rest of her team, the Starlight City Champions - were killed, losing their lives in battle against a telekinetic called Tyrant.

After the loss of her mother, Gail took time off from being a heroine, grieving and trying to come to terms with her loss. Now, however, she's ready to get back in the saddle...

Present
Gail attends college at Vanderburg University, where she is in her third year of a five-year plan in which she will attain three degrees: one in Psychology, for her intended career as a therapist; the other two out of more personal enjoyment, in English and Theater. Outside of her schoolwork, she takes part in a handful of clubs, most notable Theater Underground, which she is the current president of.

Vega is a founding member of the New Champions, and is known to be close friends with Phoenix.

She currently has a friends-with-benefits relationship with Luca, and is dating Vex.

Trivia
Delilah's family has hereditary cat traits as the result of eldonium exposure several generations ago. Abigail's manifestation is light, granting her only the ability to purr.

Vega is open about the fact that she's a transgender woman, and participates in activism to raise awareness of trans rights. Abigail, however, sees no reason to alert anyone she's not dating of this fact, preferring to keep her privates private.

She dated Bianca, aka Blank, in both their civilian and heroic identities both for two months, until Bianca left on an exchange trip to London.

She manages her Herobook account as Vega carefully, as she was taught to do by Starshine and Violet Striker. She takes landscape pictures of Starlight City, selfies with fans, and shares fanart people draw of her, as well as posting inspirational messages and jokes.
