Name: Morelle Castanea (Truth Justice)
Age: Mid 20s in appearance
Powers: Manipulation of anything earthy :) She can make the dirt move around someone in a sandstorm/wall/rockslide/etc. She can also cause grass/vines/trees/etc to move and grow to her will (to make things beautiful or to trap the bad guys). If she locks her gaze with someone they can't help but answer her questions truthfully. She has to ask the questions though, it doesn't cause people to just spill their guts at random.
History of Gaining her Powers: Her family moved to Death Valley when she was in high school. She started getting more and more ill and weak until finally she died... at least everyone thought she died. Her family had decided to move back to New Jersey (The Garden State), so they had her funeral and took her back with them to bury her in the family plot. Her coffin was made of pine, her family not having much money. They also had odd ideas on what was "traditional". They had it embossed and engraved with vines and flowers and all manner of green growy things because she had always loved them.
Once she was back in the furtile, moist soil where things can actually grow, she started to get stronger. It wasn't long before she woke up and found herself in her coffin. I would like to say she kept her cool and behaved as a seasoned Super Hero, but she wasn't one and so she didn't. She screamed herself hoarse and then panicked for a few hours. It finally sunk into her wild mind that she hadn't run out of air, and in fact didn't feel claustrophobic at all.
She did a few deep breathing exercises and calmed down. Feeling an odd affinity with the dirt around her, she started concentrating on it and willing it to move. Now before you laugh or roll your eyes, tell me what -you'd- do after finding yourself buried alive.
As you can probably imagine, the earth moved for her and pushed her coffin up so it was level with the ground. With a few powerful kicks she had the top opened and she climbed out. If she had needed any more proof that she was a superhero, she had only to look around the cemetary and see that no one had noticed her huge commotion. She thought for a moment about what she should do. Coming to a decision she waved at her coffin sadly, sending it back to its rightful place, 6 feet under.
She went home, but couldn't think of a way to break her resurrection to her family and so with even more sadness than to her coffin, she waved her family goodbye and set off toward her new life. She had no idea what awaited her, but walking deeper into a forest glade, she felt things would be okay.
What She's Up to Now: Wherever there is injustice, she is there... hehe seriously though, she likes to keep tabs on the goings on of the world and help out when she can. Otherwise, she amuses herself with tying litter bugs upside down and let them swing from the branches of trees for awhile... so they can think about what they've done. :P She's pretty awesome when she's in her element, but not as powerful in places like Death Valley.

Good job! :) Them litter bugs need to be taught a lesson, and she seems like just the right person for the job hehe. :)
When I first looked at the picture for this one I thought, "This must be Heidi's." Then I read the name and thought, "Oh yeah, this is definately Heidi's!" Then I read a bit more and thought, "No, wait... maybe it's not Heidi's... hmmm." My point here is that you suprised me a bit with the writing style, which is a good thing, I think. I think this is a great idea and that you should really think about fleshing it out and doing something with it.
