History

Where do you come from?

Chicago, Illinois.

Have you made any major moves, or do you live in your hometown?

Moving from Chicago to Freedom City counts.

Do you feel loyal to your country of citizenship? Do you consider yourself patriotic? How do you feel about the government of your country?

Yes. Yes. And honestly, politicians are all crooks but it is a better system than most of the world.

How do you feel about the place you come from?

Chicago's a nice place but it really can't compete with Freedom.

Where is your home town? What was/is it like?

Chicago. Windy, cold in winter, baking in summer.

Growing up, were most of the people you knew similar to you, or were you somehow a minority? How did that affect you?

Not really, my neighborhood had a lot of Russian immigrants. Because of this, I spent a lot of time actively speaking Russian as well as English everyday.

Is there something you've always been really good at or really bad at? How has that affected your life?

I've always been pretty decent at drawing and had an interest in writing so while in school I've been looking forward to the art and creative writing classes.

Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age)?

Nothing worse than normal.

Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life.

When I was nine, I saw my a local spider-themed hero, Aracnolad, broke up a bank robbery I was held hostage in. Left the thugs stuck to the walls, upside down, with webs he shot from his hands.

What stupid things did you do when you were younger?

Well, when I was fourteen I tried smoking. ...Not my smartest choice.

Where did you go to school? How much school did you have, and did you enjoy it?

My previous school was Prospect Hieghts Highschool, home of the Chicago Spartans. Good school, though the rich popular kids are a little more favored by the administration.

Do you have any mementos of your childhood? What are they, and why did you keep them? If you have none, why not?

I kept the softball from the game where I broke my arm, as well as the copy of The Hobbit my father bought for me. Both have a lot of memories attached to them.

When did you decide to become a hero? Why? Did anyone influence you one way or another in the decision?

When I was fifteen, not long after I got my powers. Because I couldn't stand seeing people in the position I had been in most of my school-life, unable to defend myself when harassed. Right now, my parents don't know I'm wearing a mask and beating up criminals, they just think I'm going to Claremont to better control my powers.

Is the reason you give people for becoming a hero different than your real reason? If so, why?

No.

Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you?

Nope.

Do you represent yourself as being different from who you really are? Why?

Just when trying to keep my secret identity just that, secret.

If you do have these secrets, what do you fear would happen if the truth became known? How far would you go to protect those secrets?

I'm not sure how far I'd go to keep my ID secret. I hope I never have to find out.

Do you have any sort of criminal record? If so, is it public knowledge?

No criminal record, my parents raised me right.

John and Natasha Knight.

Were you raised by them? If not, please explain and describe who raised you.

Middle-class, well liked by the locals. Dad was a security consultant while mom took up a teaching at a local community college.

Where are your parents now?

Chicago.

Did your family stay in one area or move around a lot?

We lived in the same house all my life.

How did you get along with their parents? How do you get along with them now (if applicable).

We still get along well, that might change if they found out about my superheroic activities.

How do your parents view you now, or how would they?

I imagine they might be upset I'm risking my life against super powered criminals.

Unborn.

Do you stay in touch with them or have you become estranged?

Not applicable.

Do you love or hate one member of the family in particular?

I've been closer to dad than mom but I wouldn't say I love him more.

Is any member of the family special to you in any way (perhaps, as a confidant, mentor, or arch-rival)?

Well, dad gave me something of a crash-course in teleporting so I didn't 'port accidentally at inconvenient times.

Are there any black (or white) sheep in the family (including you)? If so, please explain.

Well, mom is the black sheep of her side of the family.

Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? If so, please explain, including how it has affected your life.

Not that I'm aware of. Technically, Superior is in my bloodline, due to the super-serum that mom was given...

Do you have a partner and children currently? If so, please describe them.

Well, I have a boyfriend at school. No kids though.

If you do not have a partner or children, do you want them someday? How firm are you in your opinion on this, and what might change your mind?

I think I'd like kids someday. It isn't set in stone but close.

What type of person would be your ideal mate?

Smart, funny, able to keep up with my adventures.

Relationships

Do you have any close friends? If so, please describe them, and how you came to be close to them.

Well there's John “Myrmidon†Smith, met him at school and have been slowly corrupting him with the wonders of the internet and video games. And there's of course, my boyfriend Morgan Crowe. I met him when he nearly pegged me with a snowball.

Do you have a best friend? If so, how did they become your best friend? How close are you to your best friend?

My 'team' as a whole, John, Morgan, Brian, Janis...

Well, I was raised Catholic, though I'm fairly lapsed. I've joined Claremont's anime and role-playing clubs.

Who are your heroes?

Well, Centurion of course. There's also Aracnolad back in Chicago and more locally the Freedom League.

Did you ever become disillusioned with former heroes or idols? If so, why and what were the circumstances?

Not really, I guess if I met the Freedom League the real life version wouldn't stack up to the fantasy the cartoon shows and comics have built up around them.

How do you generally treat others?

As I'd like to be treated.

Are you a trusting person? Has your trust ever been abused?

Not overly, though that's because of the near paranoia my parents instilled in me growing up.

Dad mostly covered the 'reading people' aspects while mom covered the acrobatics and most of the hand to hand stuff.

Well there's my ability to teleport but that's less a skill and more a super-power. However, I got it from dad's bloodline.

No, though if I can improve my teleporting range, I might start up a small scale delivery service or maybe a taxi service.
