Elaia

• DII star. Transferred to QCU. Eleventh woman on a DI roster. Rode the bench.
• January 8, 2026: EJ is shot. Her first discharge keeps him alive. A second under gunfire makes it permanent.
• The Mitchells answer a Caelestis beacon. The Patriarch is her grandfather.
• February: she and EJ survive him.
• May 9: she graduates the day the conflict goes national.
• May 13: they name her Supernova. She did not pick it.
• May 15: Marisol. Blast starts as she arrives. Seven runs. 38 people. Well over a kilometer out before the fireball finishes opening.
• May 16: Hollow Crown. She holds the Hardline unit even — 1v4 — alone.

• Power Cosmic

  The system. Purple force she generates, wears, or throws. Strength, durability, flight, fields, and keeping a dying body online all come from this.

• Speed

  Marisol: seven round-trips, 38 civilians, >1 km standoff, inside a 2–3 second blast window. About 15 km of flight under a field. That is Mach 12–15 in atmosphere. Cruise: Queen City to New York or Miami in a few minutes without opening the throttle — roughly Mach 6–8. Ceiling is higher.

• Deep well. Not endless.
• More output than technique.
• Hardline-class disruption can strain her.
• Split attention is the opening.

Competitive. Blunt. Fearless. Sarcastic.

Did not come here to be a hero. Protective anyway.

Authority will not hold her. Family is not leverage.

• EJ Mitchell / Insane. Older brother by 15 months. Absolute loyalty.
• Melissa Mitchell. Mother. Awakened magnetism.
• Varro. Father. Deceased.
• The Patriarch. Grandfather. The 25%.
• Cierra. Close friend.
• Jackson Merino / Superior. Ally. Friendship on her side.
• Kira Reyes / Phanta. Sometimes ally. Trust is not.
• APEX. The file on her.
