Emmy "TripleX" Xie Xiao Xuan
Coils
Description: Xiao Xuan is a tall, slender 20 year old with waist-length blue hair and gentle brown eyes. Something of a fashion plate, she's always well put together and is never seen in the same outfit twice. She's a winter, and prefers cool colours like navy and burgundy. Her public persona is cool and sombre, with an undertone of deadpan snide; she has a well-hidden mean streak that comes out only when somebody really crosses her. In combat she's calm and lethal, none too concerned with property damage, and inclined to conduct reconnaissance by fire.
Bio:
As TripleX, Xiao Xuan is a semi-professional vlogger who documents street fashion with a side of social commentary. It's not quite a living but she does pull in a lot of swag from sponsors, which explains her vast wardrobe. She does try to engage in journalism beyond documenting what people wear, providing a window into the lives of ordinary people. This has brought her a small but loyal following and a little influence.
In private life, Xiao Xuan attends college and gets the excellent grades necessary to keep her parents off her back. She's not that interested in school but she's smart and dedicated enough to do the work that will get her where she wants to go. She believes that citizen journalism can make a difference and has vague notions of entering politics some day.
As a cape, Coils is able to sense, generate and manipulate electromagnetic fields. The most dramatic application of this ability is her "Left-hand Shot", named for how she literally uses Fleming's Left-hand Rule and induced Lorenz forces to accelerate a small ferrous projectile to velocities in the vicinity of 2,500 m/s. She carries a little bag of ball bearings for this purpose, which she can also use for other applications, including as a simple sap. When she wants to go more subtle though, she is also capable of reading and controlling electrical signals, for example those of RFID or credit card mag strips. She also gets great mobile reception and never wants for wi-fi.
