Anna Brail

Anna Brail is a young woman in the city of New Hampton who possesses the ability to control air. An IT technician by trade, she also acts as a vigilante, using her powers to fight the rising crime in the city.

Childhood
Anna was born to Rose and Mark Brail September 10, 1994 in rural area of New Hampton. She was the oldest of their two children and was sister to Andrew Brail.

At a very young age she discovered that she had inherited her mother's ability to control air. By the age of 11 she had nearly mastered the ability.

In the summer of 2002, Anna met Nicole Weaver and Matthew Weaver when their family was invited over to the Brail's, as Nicole's father was friends with Mark at work. Nicole, Matthew and Anna quickly became great friends. Anna, Nicole and Matthew were also all homeschooled, so they all related that way.

Teens
One day when she and Nicole were coming home from the park, they were confronted by a group of three bullies from their school. They attacked them, and seeing no other choice, Anna used her powers against them and defeated the three. The two then fled and hid. Nicole then asked what had happened and she revealed that she and her mother had the supernatural ability to control air. Their friendship seemed to strength after this.

Eventually Anna started a relationship with Matthew, whom she had known for years. She had asked him out, and he had accepted. They kissed on their first date, and decided to go on more.

Adulthood
As she got close to finishing high school and readied to go to college, she saw the rising rate of crime in the city. Without her parent's knowledge, she began going out at night and fighting gangsters she came across. Usually defeating them, she left them for the police to find. However, it did take a toll on her body, resulting in various bruises. She hid these from her family.

Her actions, however, led to tension with Matthew, whom she had told about her vigilantism. During one of their fights about it, she lost control over her powers and almost destroyed his place of work. Nicole managed to calm her down, but the incident ended her relationship with Matthew.

After what happened, she stopped going out as a vigilante and confined herself to her house. But, one of the gangsters she had attacked was able to give an accurate description of her to the law enforcement, and they tracked her down. Arriving at her house in April, she was arrested and put on trial, with Alex Nolan being her attorney. She won the case, but she quit acting as a vigilante.

On July 23, 2013, her mother's car flipped over the hedge in their backyard. As Anna and her father tried to pull Rose and Andrew from the wreckage, the car exploded, killing them both. The event traumatized both of them.

She was devastated, but not nearly as much as her father. After the accident, he completely shut down, leaving Anna to deal with the grief alone. This caused a change in her, causing her to become cold and distant. On her own, she applied to Salem University, which was in Seattle. Nicole was also going there, so she would have company. On the day she left, her father pleaded with her to stay, but she left anyway.

A few weeks after arriving, she met a fellow freshmen by the name of John Arwin. He asked her out, and charmed by him, she said yes. They began dating, and Anna felt that she had finally found someone she truly loved. Nicole didn't approve of him, however.

However, John did not hold the same values as she did, and having had several girlfriends before her, he intended to sleep with Anna. However, she refused, citing her religion and her values. This put strain on their relationship, and it came to a breaking point when in one of their fights, John attempted to knock her out and rape her, but she used her powers to knock him away, and ran.

But, it was not over. Having seen her abilities, he deemed her a freak, and decided to put an end to her. Breaking into her room one night with two of his cronies, John knocked her out and proceeded to drench the place in gasoline. When she woke up, he explained his plan to her. As he lit the gas, she broke free of her attackers and subdued all of them, blasting John out the window. Anna put out the fires and called the police.

Following this, she transferred to New Hampton Technical School, and Nicole did the same. She finished her degree and got a job as an IT Tech at the Daily Post, a news station in the city. Nicole also got a job there as a journalist. She kept out of contact with her father through all of this.

While working there, she usually kept to herself, becoming very introverted. She talked to Nicole, however. A few weeks after starting there, she met a man named Thomas, who quickly grew to have a crush on her. She didn't reciprocate these feelings, which led to several odd moments between them.

In early 2017, she decided to resume her vigilante work, seeing the police severely outnumbered to fight against the rising underbelly of the city. This time, however, she didn't tell Nicole or Matthew, especially since Nicole would strongly disapprove and Matthew was working as a detective.

Volume 1
Waking up on May 18, 2017, she went to work, where she received an email from a contact of hers, informing her of a major arms deal going down that night. At lunch, she met with Nicole. After a while, the conversation devolved into a discussion about her previous vigilantism. She accused Anna of resuming her work, but denied it. Eventually, Nicole accepted her story, but was still suspicious.

That night, she was getting ready for her hit on the warehouse when Nicole arrived. Appalled at the sight, she urged Anna to not go through with it, but she ignored her and left anyway. Arriving at the location, she slipped inside, avoiding the various gangsters. However, she was quickly noticed, resulting in an all-out battle. Not wanting to ignite the product, they resolved to fist-fighting, but one threw a grenade and created a massive blast, which caused a cloud of smoke to fill the warehouse.

Fighting through the debris, she would sustain a wound to her arm, this caused her great pain, but she fought on. But, she was eventually overwhelmed, and was forced to grab an assault rifle and fire back. Training her weapon on a crate of explosives, she opened fire, igniting it. As it exploded, she ran from the building and launched herself onto the next building. She covered herself as a massive fireball shot up.

After the blast, she looked and saw that nearly everyone in the warehouse had been killed. This greatly distressed her, but she was forced to leave the scene just as emergency vehicles arrived.

Abilities and Traits
Although kind at heart, Anna usually kept her distance and was often sarcastic and blunt. She didn't like being surrounded by a lot of people, causing them to view her as anti-social.

She has a decent sense of humor, usually cracking several subtle jokes throughout the day. But her most dominant sense is her sense of duty. This is increased by her devotion to God.

Anna is a devoted Christian and has been her entire life.

Appearance
Anna was a young woman with big, green eyes and long black and brown hair that went over her shoulders and down to her chest and was kept there most of the time, although she would put it up if it was a bother.

Almost all the time, Anna would wear dresses that were darker in color, but sometimes wore more vibrant ones. Most of them had designs on them, usually flowers or some other type of design. Along with dresses she would also wear skirts, jackets and tights. She would also wear bracelets, rings and necklaces. Anna always wore flat-footed black boots that went up to just before her knee. Her clothes were, however, not revealing, covering up to her neck. Only her arms and lower legs were exposed.

Anna was five-foot-nine and was very beautiful, causing many to be attracted to her, which she found kind of funny. She wore very little make-up, but sometimes did wear lipstick and made her eyelashes a little darker.

When acting as a vigilante, she would wear a black dress that had a skirt that went to mid-thigh, and wore tights that went to her knees. She also wore a dark green jacket and wore her same black boots that she always wore. This version was destroyed and replaced with one with a longer black skirt, a darker green jacket and no tights.
