Shall we start with her awakening... or the beginning... THE BEGINNING IS BORING, its mostly just life as a child with abusive parents. Caused her to be more rebellious. She started getting really into rollerblading, and then she found out the sport, blah blah blah.
The REAL meat and potatoes of this story is the day she got her powers. It was a cool summer night, Eros was 17 and trespassing on a trainyard, with her headphones on and absolutely hopped up on weed. She was none the wiser that the moment she stepped on that rail, the train in the distance would whistle, its headlight closing in, lighting up her entire body as....... everything slowed down around her, life flashing before her eyes, skin oddly burning with a searing pain-
It felt like hours, that brief window of her life just barely about to slip away from her, but it wasn't a moment later that she suddenly found herself in the gravels beside the track, the blowing wind from the train speeding past her cutting into her. She was safe. She was fine. She was... glowing. literally. An X-Ray replica image of her bones seared themselves upon her skin, bright neon lights melting through the air, a steam-like substance emanating off of them, glowing that same bright neon... Fear came first, turning the colors orange, then dread, white, then anguish. The lights turned green as she tucked into herself and fell on her knees screaming, shes a freak a monster a mutant! She couldnt live like this- but why did it feel so... GOOD!?
That was the start of it all. The past 6 years have been filled with not only experimenting but also building up a reputation in the daredevil community, naming herself the Neon Spirit. Turns out, her markings begin to glow at night, not emitting the neon steam, but they definitely glow, coordinated with her emotion. And while that traumatic event took place at 17, she looks back at her awakening fondly, from an outsider perspective... (because if she actually thinks deeply about, all those feelings and emotions come back, every ounce of crippling dread trickling down her soul...)
