FULL NAME:Sandra Leigh Burvali
ALIASES:Butterfly girl, Lightning bug
CODENAMES:Shining Menelaus
AGE:16
PLAY BY: N/A

Over all Appearance: Sandra is a young teenage girl who is 5'5 and weighs little over 115 lbs, mostly due to her aerial adaptation. She has visible mix of Arapaho and African descent with dark, copper looking skin complexion and shoulder length black hair. Her eyes are almond shaped with dark blue eyes that lack visible pupils, a side affect of her own physical mutations with a slightly angular face, thin eye brows, and full lips. She is noticeably physically fit, being rather lean and toned but is all muscle with no visible fat largely due to her mutation in combination with intensive exercises.

Her clothing is a mix of being comfortable, form fitting, and a little provocative at times but not overly so. Her clothes are usually t-shirts, mid-drifts, and tank tops, something that is not fitting but not restrictive due to the use of her wings and maneuverability. Her pants range from jean material and usually is capris and shorts, but she also will occasionally where long pants. She doesn't usually wear formal clothing unless she has to, and sometimes she is known to wear dresses and skirts if she feels like it.

Some notable features also to see in Sandra is her butterfly-like wings which are transparent and electric blue in color, sometimes giving off an iridescent glow when using her powers. Her hair also has blue streaks in it, naturally occurring when her powers manifested.

Over all personality: Sandra can be described as a feisty, out-going kind of young woman. She isn't the kind to be afraid to show her thoughts and express what is on her mind. She is quite the social butterfly, no pun intended, and loves to meet new people most of the time, though there are exceptions to this. Sandra also is known to have fiery attitude, being quite stubborn and hard headed, sometimes even difficult from time to time as she tends to butt heads with others when she doesn't agree with them. This can make her somewhat combative.

Despite this, Sandra can be quite compassionate and kind even through her rough exterior. She is willing to help others around her when necessary and tends to be rather open minded towards just about most things. Sandra is willing to lend her ear towards others and seems to be the type of person who is charismatic and easily approachable. She is incredibly independent and strong willed, not being the type who is easily dissuaded from decisions that she makes and has nerves of steel. She's actually rather empathic towards those around her and can have a bit of a sensitive side, but doesn't always show it.

Still, like most Sandra has her darker side. She can have something of a temper and may get annoyed by some things, though doesn't outright show it unless truly pressed. It's obvious she has a dislike for some things more then others, primarily humans which has led her to believe they are enemies and below mutants, leaving her to have something of the concern that mutants are above humans, matching to the views of some mutants such as the Brotherhood. In a way, she is a split down the middle of being kind yet also can at times be cruel.

FAMILY:
Jonathan Burvali-Father
Nana Burvali-Mother
HISTORY: Sandra is one of the few recorded Mutant-Inhuman hybrids in history, next to that of Luna Maximoff. She, however, was not born to anyone of Attilian but of the "lost tribe", her mother Nara having once been a warrior among the hidden village of Orollan in Greenland, but she eventually left to seek out a life outside the village. After traveling for a few years during her late teen years, she eventually enrolled into a college in New York where she would meet the love of her life, Jonathan Burvali. Though the two for a while kept a secret from one another about what they truly were their relationship went well.

By the time the two had gotten their Bachelor's degrees, Jonathan asked Nara to marry him of which she accepted, and during their reception announced she was pregnant with their only child. But when their honeymoon came, Jonathan finally confessed he was truly a mutant, having the abilities of electrokinesis while Nara also came clean and revealed her true origins as an Inhuman and revealed her wings she had managed to hide all this time. Finally, the two were far more comfortable in their relationship after their confessions and eventually continued with life as a new married couple, Nara going onto study about various insects and Jonathan becoming an NYPD officer.

Eventually, Sandra was born healthy and happy. Her parents were ecstatic when she came into the world, looking like a normal human being when they took her home and began to raise her. Things seemed relatively normal for the family, Sandra growing up to be use to their powers and for a time her parents didn't seem worried about her gaining any. They were far from Orollan for her to be exposed to Terrigenesis and Jonathan thought her too young to gain any mutant abilities. But by the time Sandra had turned seven, it was clear they were wrong as her eyes had gradually mutated to lacking pupils.

To cover this up in concern that their daughter would be viewed as a freak, the two got her contacts that made her appear she still had them. It was around this time she continued with her schooling, playing with friends, and being a carefree young girl. But she didn't tell her parents that between the ages of eight to eleven, she began to develop her optical powers. But, by the time she was thirteen her wings manifested on their own without much stress except save for puberty. Nara did her best to help her daughter through the changes of her body and began to help train her how to use her flight since there was no true way of hiding that their daughter was a mutant.

After a few years of mastering her current powers at the time, Sandra went about her life, and so did her parents as they still loved her as she was. But during one of the days during her freshmen year of high school, Sandra got into a confrontation with one of the school bullies who had been pushing it too far in bothering one of her friends. During the argument things got more physical and in a fit of anger towards the other girl, she shoved her hard one time, sparks showing around her hands that also showed up around the girl. Both cried out in pain, the bully collapsing as Sandra used too much of her newly manifested power but collapsed as well from exertion and the pain that hit her muscles. 

The end result was Sandra being kept at home for a time to recover and her father becoming so concerned that something bad would happen he ended up calling the Xavier institute, primarily because he himself had gone there but had decided on a civilian life. Much to Sandra's annoyance, she was sent there to better learn to control her new ability, going back and forth between home and her new school for over a year, only attending classes when the time was necessary. But now at sixteen, Sandra has decided to take the step in actually staying in a dorm there on the school grounds but has in recent years begun to find her views are more parallel to the Brotherhood then the X-men.
POWERS: 
*Wing Manifestation:One if Sandra's primary mutations is her butterfly-like wings that resemble those of the Blue Morpho Butterfly, her own name being inspired by one of the many genus that is known for its iridescent wings. They are large enough to carry her easily and allow her to carry other passengers and often take an iridescent glow when using her Bio-electricity.
+Aerial Adaptation:With her wings comes her adaptation naturally to being a flier. She is able to handle the upper atmosphere up to about 3,000 feet while taking a higher amount of oxygen at lower pressures of the higher altitudes. She has hollow bones similar to a bird to allow her great maneuverability in flight and having little to no fat on her body, leaving her with really only muscle and greater agility, speed, stamina, and dexterity in the air.

*Multiple Ocular Ability:Another power she has much like her mother is multiple eye sights with an extra ability of Telescopic sight. All three allow her to see in different perspectives for such things as the light spectrum. It is also possible she can combine two of these powers at a time but not all three.
+Telescopic Sight:This ability allows Sandra to zoom in and out of things, giving her a much closet view or to see things further away. This allows her to see things about a 1000x closer or further away at the most, almost down to seeing the the very cells of a person or object.
+Infrared Vision:This allows her to see in the infrared spectrum, this leading her to see the heat signatures and or outlines of people, animals, and objects whether during the day or just in total darkness.
+Night Vision:This final ocular ability allows Sandra to see in total darkness clearly for up to fifty feet around her. Anything further is somewhat strained even when combing one or two of these powers.

*Bio-Electricity Manipulation:The use of this power is a sub-form of electrokinesis and allows Sandra to manipulate her body's own neural impulses or electric currents. This allows her to excite the neurons of her body to such a level she can physically manipulate this biological form of electricity to different levels of potency it even becomes visible arching sparks on her body. As a result she can perform many things as follows:
+Bio-Disruption:A way in which Sandra can tap into the electrical currents of another's body thus disrupting their own electrical field and neural impulses to trigger a shock to their body. This ranges enough to just stun a person or cause pain, and sometimes enough to knock them unconscious.
+Concussive Force Blasts:Sandra can concentrate this energy from just about anywhere on her body in the form of "bio-bolts" or streams of energy to send at others. These usually can even break through stone, rock, and weak metal.
+Force Fields:By concentrating the energy around her he can create a type of "electrical net" that protects her from energy- and elemental-based attacks of moderate levels. It can also protect her from physical blows except for physical projectiles. With some concentration she can also project this field outwards into a "net dome" that can protect multiple people, but it takes more energy and concentration to do so.
+Magnet Field:Sandra can also generate a type of field that uses her own electrical energy to cause objects and people to be attracted towards her or can be repelled with that same field. This is done by affect the polarity of the electricity and how much power she puts behind it.
+Life Drain:By making physical contact with a target Sandra manipulates another's bio-electrical field and absorbs it into her own body as a way to heal herself from injury, except for lost limbs, or bring up her energy reserves, especially in the case her powers greatly affect her nervous system and muscles.
+Bio-Electrical Constructs:Sandra can also concentrate and solidify this energy into various constructs, most of all as different weapons she can use in close combat and sometimes different tools.
+Bio-Electric Combat:Like the force fields she makes Sandra concentrates her neural impulses into a visible sparking aura. This then increases her physical prowess to have additional stunning or shocking affects towards a user while also enhancing her speed, agility, and stamina for short periods of time while also making her somewhat invulnerable to touch physically in close combat or others standing too close.
WEAKNESSES: 
*Her Bio-electricity power only makes use of her body's natural electrical impulses thus she cannot control electricity herself.
*It has also been noticed that using this power to cause such overexcitement of the neurons causes the muscles to begin to not function and shut the body down due to the impulses being uneven and erratic when it cannot reach every area of the body it normally does.
*Her wings can easily be shred, torn, and broken due to their delicate structure.
*Sandra also suffers from the condition Congenital Analgesia, meaning she is insensitive to pain and indifferent, causing her to not even flinch or withdrawal. Because of this condition she cannot feel pain what so ever, causing her to risk having a serious injury and not even notice until someone points it out or she sees it right away.
