IRONROOT

Origin

Aigerim was teaching a sunrise class in the mountains when a rockfall roared toward her students. She planted her feet in her training stance and did not move, and the stones broke around her like water around a tree. Her balance became unbreakable.

Powers

• Root Stance: plants herself so firmly nothing can move her
• Flow Redirect: turns the force of anything rushing at her safely aside, never striking back
• Calm Breath: slows her heartbeat and helps everyone near her stay calm

Weakness

Anger: if she fights angry, her balance breaks. Martial arts are for self-control.

Sidekick

Boulder, a fluffy baby snow leopard who copies her stances.

Villain

The Crumbler, Gravel Gus, who shakes mountains to make everyone fall.

Costume

a jade and rice-paper white fitted training hero suit with a wrap front, a sunrise-red sash, ink-black trim (under 25%), flat jade training shoes.
