Personality

Click to expand.

Hardened:
When you are rejected by everyone you quickly learn they don't have your best interests at heart. Even if they claim they do. They cannot be trusted and so Kora has hardened her exterior personality. She is more likely to fight back against any attempt to get through her emotional shell. When people you cared about have died by your hand and you didn't mean it, you start to numb on the outside because the hurt on the inside must never overwhelm you - not when your Inhuman gift could unleash because of it.

Intelligent:
Kora picks up on things quickly. She was always a fast study with all the science disciplines and skills the Inhumans around her had as a child. She apprenticed to a dozen people just to learn how they do the things they do. She's certainly no expert in anything but is a jack of all trades.

Kind Hearted:
Despite all the people who have died because of her gift she still aches for them and blames herself. Underneath her hardened exterior is a heart that cares and if she knew how to be helpful she would. But right now she knows anyone who gets near her is in danger of dying when she loses control and that could be at any moment.

Character Sheet

Powers

Inhuman Healing:
Inherited from her mother, but unlike her mother she does not steal life force from another. The energy she absorbs allows her body to stitch itself back together and she can apply this to another too if she has enough control to do so. She learned this too late to help those she'd already hurt.

Inhuman Sunshine:
Kora stores and releases a very rare kind of energy, Ionic Radiation. This rare kind of radiation is usually found quasars, black holes, and class-c stars. How they react with the world around them is not well known. When Kora was trying to understand her powers, however, they weren't known at all.

What was known though was how they could blast a hole through objects, rip like a solar mass ejection from her body and slice through objects, and how they boosted the power output of electrical amplifiers.

Just how much energy Kora can keep within herself is unknown and even expending her energy did not exhaust her. Where it comes from is still unknown and just how dangerous it is is yet to be scienced. Some other effects of Ionic Radiation include disrupting the energy within a Kryptonian like a red sun.

Skills

Languages:
Having people live in Afterlife from all over the world as she grew up meant Kora was exposed to dozens of languages from everywhere and the people were more than happy to share and teach the eager young child. So too was she taught to read and write in these same many languages.

Fluent: Mandorin, English, German, French.
Casual: Portuguese, Spanish, Welsh, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Czech, Ukrainian, Arabic
Special: The written words of their founders (Kree)

Martial Arts:
Everybody was taught martial arts at Afterlife. Sometimes Afterlife would pretend to be a Buddhist Monastery if strangers somehow found their way to their hidden world. Their forms were ancient, passed down from generation to generation, but enhanced by their unique abilities and powers. Kora learnt how to fight Afterlife's version of Kung-Fu and when she gained her abilities attempt to learn how to use them with it too. That part didn't go so well.

Survivalist:
Living in a remote village in the Himalayas meant hunting, trapping, gathering, being fully self sufficient during the harshest of winters and the most beautiful of summers. It was an old fashioned life and always a shock when as a young girl she'd be taken to the nearest village to see her father.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Angry:
It's not hard to be angry at the world when your own people betray you, when your enemies live up to their names, when you never got to have your loving mother and father; nor even really get to know your baby sister. It's not just this anger that makes her powers uncontrolled though but it certainly doesn't help.

Claustrophobia:
Having been imprisoned twice in her life, once by her own people and the second time by HYDRA, Kora has a very strong aversion to being locked in a small space. A room even is too small. If the doors don't open, if the windows are locked down, she starts to feel it. The smaller the space the worse it gets.

Loose Cannon:
It's not that Kora does it deliberately. She believes she's broken, but she cannot keep control of her Inhuman sunshine gift. It explodes out in ways she does not want and people have gotten hurt. What she didn't know was that the energy itself is barely understood by scientists and aliens alike. It's not her fault it's out of control - but she has internalised that it is her fault and she does not trust herself.

Self Loathing:
Even young, before she gained her powers, she felt that she had been abandoned and she internalised that to mean she was the reason. When she got her powers and couldn't control them even after a year of training unlike everyone else she felt she would never have control. When Afterlife agreed and kept her in isolation she knew she was the problem. She was broken. She tried to end it but couldn't even do that right.

Untrusting:
The people who were her family, Afterlife, locked her away. Her parents disappeared when she was young. She was captured by HYDRA and locked in a box. She does not take people easily and is always concerned they are but one small slight away from locking her in to the next cage.
