Charlie

'Goddamn it, not again!'

Originating (sort of) on a world of superheroes, Charlie was first believed to be a naturally gifted pyrokinetic, up until it was discovered that she was in fact a phoenix. Nobody was quite sure who, exactly, managed to entrap a primordial spirit of fire, divest it of all memories and bind it into the form of a small child, but everybody who knew agreed that it was a great achievement. Not, perhaps, quite great enough to have kept the person involved in the doing alive to tell anybody about it, however, which was something of an issue when said binding began, slowly, to unravel.

At first manifesting as simple pyrokinesis, it quickly became clear that as she got older, a gradually increasing array of power was going to become available to an individual who was, mentally, a human teenager. This was a prospect that terrified anybody with two neurons to rub together, and may or may not have been related to her detention aboard the orbital prison station of the Posthuman, and the subsequent chain of events preventing the destruction of all human civilisation and interstellar first contact.

It certainly contributed towards her death. Twice.

Fortunately enough, permanently killing a phoenix is easier said than done, even if a multi-decade delay between 'death' and reincarnation is generally more than enough to constitute a tactical defeat. Unfortunately, nobody has ever had cause to call Charlie particularly wise, and the lack of permanent consequences and her gradual access to more and more power has led to what some might call an unhealthy level of curiosity, and a propensity to poke things that should not be poked.

Unfortunately for her, not everything in the universe is particularly awed by the level of power currently available to her, and it is a rare sight indeed to see a phoenix bound in captivity, so accidentally ending up naked in the middle of a base full of slavers with access to powerful protective and containment magic ended up with her bound beneath an alien arena without even death as an escape, given that said arena would simply end up with her egg in the event of her 'dying'.

Next time, she swears, she will stay away from the obviously magical device with a large 'do not touch' sign hanging from it.
