  • So I was writing up the whole fresh-thing intros and I wanted a (possibly just perceived) underdog for an arrogant twit of a Sidhe to sneer at, and abuse later on.
    So I created an Avatar of the Butterfly. Who got her spirit from a kaleidoscope of butterflies that were eating road kill that got splatted by a truck. Or something like that.

    Problem is I have no idea of powers, other then flying a few feet off the ground at a walking pace.

    She's the daughter of a B+i/A- superhero, and feels like she's an embarressment to him. Mostly cause he told her that.

    I am a caffeine heathen; I prefer the waters of the mountain over the juice of the bean. Keep the Dews coming and no one will be hurt.

    "In the Aztec religion, Ītzpāpālōtl, is also known as the "Obsidian Butterfly" and was depicted as a skeletal warrior goddess who ruled over the paradise world of Tamoanchan-- the paradise of victims of infant mortality and the place identified as where humans were created...

    "...The style of her wings are described as being obsidian or flint (tecpatl) knife tipped, hence the name "Obsidian Butterfly". She could appear in the form of a beautiful, sometimes seductive goddess with flowing hair, or a horrific goddess with a skeletal head, jaguar claws, and butterfly wings supplied with stone blades.

    "The name Itzpapalotl stands for purfication or rejuvenation by sacrifice of that what is precious. One Aztec myth describes how Itzpapalotl camouflages herself as a Black Butterfly to devour souls during a solar eclipse. In many cultures the black butterfly is a symbol of death and transition, transformation, renewal or rebirth. "
