Background
* Aspen is born to the Blue, an aquatic race of beings not knowing that her biological father was actually a Black, another more secretive aquatic race.
- At age eleven, her parents are murdered. She and her brother flee. The ship they escape in explodes and her people presume her dead.
- Aspen's powers activate, saving her life but her brother appears to have been killed. She ends up on a ship called Paradise with no memory of who she is and is adopted by Captain Matthews.
- An exceptional swimmer, Aspen competes in the Olympics at age fifteen, winning the gold medal but drug testing showed signs of 'blood doping' and ended her career as a professional swimmer.
- Aspen studies to be a marine biologist and is chosen to work on a classified project called Deep Marine Discovery, or DMD, that was investigating an unknown ship and being.
- The DMD base is destroyed, killing most of those within. Aspen passes out but her powers are activated, saving her life. She's rescued and taken to the hospital.
- After she's released from the hospital, Aspen is kidnapped by a group of Blue led by one named Killian who reveal her heritage to her and explain they are fighting the humans who threaten their way of life. Aspen joins them and begins to train her powers in earnest.
- As Aspen fights with the Blue, she learns that their leader is the one that killed her parents. She joins the other Blue in opposing Killian, destroying the machine that was central to their plan of victory.
- The Navy classifies all information about the 'Blue Sun' incident and the U.S. opens tentative relations with the Blue with Aspen being the liason between them.

Abilities
Power: Empathy (2)
Aspen has a very low-level of empathy, able to feel strong feelings of those that are also immersed in water.
Power: Energy Projection (3)
The constant movement of the ocean means there is a massive amount of energy stored within it. Aspen is able to draw on some of this energy to use it offensively as energy bolts. She can also draw on her own energy, but this is very draining on her.
Power: Enhanced Movement (2)
Through use of her Hydrokinesis, Aspen can make the liquid move her more quickly through it, allowing her a degree of enhanced speed.
Power: Hydrokinesis (8)
Aspen can control incredible volumes of liquid with great finesse. She can create tsunami-force waves and calm storm-churned seas but at the same time she can create delicate sculptures that can rest in the palm of your hand or make water firm enough to walk on. This control over liquid even extends to such things as the blood in a person's body, allowing her to change its flow or forcefully expel it.
Power: Regeneration (4)
By utilizing her ability to transform into water and energy as well as her control over those forces, Aspen can heal her body from even fatal wounds.
Power: Transformation
Aspen can transform her body into both water and energy, making her immune to normal attacks.

Advantages
Advantage: Athletic
Aspen has always been an active person and so she is good at a vareity of sports, especially any that are aquatic-based. She's an avid surfer but is also good at things like snowboarding and skateboarding.
Advantage: Blue Ambassador
With the surface world's recent encounter with the aquatic race of the Blue and given Aspen's unique background of having grown up on the surface, she's been named as liaison between the U.S. and the Blue. This provides her with some degree of resources, including Blue equipment and technologies.
Advantage: Endurance
Aspen's heritage as a Blue gives her exceptional endurance compared to the average person. She has five times the lung capacity of an Olympic swimmer and her red-cell density is twice the average.
Advantage: Marine Biologist
Aspen has a degree in Marine Biology from U.C. San Diego with a specialty in marine propulsion.Even before she had access to her powers Aspen was a gifted swimmer, winning a gold medal in the Olympics before drug tests disqualified her.
Advantage: Swimming
Even before she had access to her powers Aspen was a gifted swimmer, winning a gold medal in the Olympics before drug tests disqualified her.

Flaws
Flaw: Hidden Heritage
Aspen doesn't know that that her father was the leader of a race called the Black. A myth to even other aquatic races, it is the reason why her abilities far surpass that of most Blue. The Black know about her however, and have their own plans on how to use her potential.
Flaw: Sullied Name
When Aspen won the Olympic gold medal in swimming when she was fifteen she broke the world record so hard that she was tested for performance enhancing drugs. Because she's not human, the tests showed that she was 'blood doping' and her medal was stripped and she was banned from competing in the Olympics again. Though now the reason for the test results is clearly because she isn't human, what sticks most in people's minds about Aspen Matthews was that she cheated in the Olympics.
Flaw: Water Dependancy
Aspen needs water. Not just to access the full scope of her powers, but to live. On average she needs to spend at least an hour a day fully immersed or else she will start to show signs of dehydration including as headaches, dizziness, delirium and eventually death. Environments of higher or lower humidity and heat such as a swamp or deserts can affect the speed at which she becomes dehydrated.
