For our third bio we have a bit of a long one:
Farah was quite literally born to be hero. Her ancestry, through her father, can be traced back to the legendary hero Gilgamesh. Throughout the centuries, these descendants have taken up the mantle of Gilgamesh to fight injustice and protect the weak. They are aided by an Ensi, originally an attendant but now a full fledged sidekick, who would inherit the Gilgamesh mantle when the time came. But this was not to be Farah’s fate; as tradition dictated the role of Ensi be given to the first son, which was Farah’s older brother Darius. When Darius was asked to take on the title at age 13, he eagerly accepted. This left Farah growing up not really having to worry much about superhero matters, though that didn’t stop her from using the legendary speed she inherited to become a track star at school. However, as Darius got older, he began to ignore his new duties, instead going to parties and hanging around with friends his parents disapproved of. This created tension between Darius and his father, which often culminated in loud angry arguments, which led to more arguments between his mother and father. His mother believing Darius simply needed to “get it out of his system” and leave him be so he can take responsibility later, and his father insisting he should take responsibility now. In the middle of all of this was Farah, fearing that every argument would be the one that causes her family to fall apart. It was this fear that motivated her to propose that she take up the role of Ensi in her brother’s stead and, in her mind, end the problem that was fracturing her family. While her father initially denied this proposition out of tradition; as Darius continued to neglect his role, he eventually relented. A suit of armour was made for her in the Forge, and she was given access to the family’s legendary armoury. Farah proved to be a capable Ensi, working well in tandem with her father. But when an extraterrestrial scientist, a reformed super criminal, and two superpowered teens show up, Gilgamesh assigns Ensi to lead this rag-tag group as a superhero team, mostly so that they can be kept under close watch. Her first real assignment on her own, Farah hopes that she can not only prove that she can handle herself on her own, but that she is also worthy of upholding her family’s legacy.
