Phoebe Edwards is a fit woman who works at a small self-defense studio attempting to impart her knowledge of several martial arts upon both children and actual self-defense knowledge upon adults. It's not the life that she imagined herself going through but she's recently found that she enjoys teaching and is getting a bit more into it. That doesn't stop her from being bitter about lost opportunities of course.

When she was at a college track meet, she was ambushed by some of the competitors who wanted to cause an 'accident' in order to get ahead and get an easy win. She was dragged into a dark forest at night and beaten. It wasn't until one of the competitors wanted to take a large rock to her knee that she triggered. She gained a combination of Thinker and Brute powers. Her brute powers aren't entirely obvious, and often more defensive than offensive in nature. She's much tougher than she would otherwise be normally, with only a boost to her strength and speed as an afterthought. Her thinker powers are combat oriented. And when she focuses, she enters a sort of bullet time state where she gains heightened awareness and a general understanding of weak points and follow ups. The bullet time is just the cherry on top that makes pinning her down near impossible.

It makes her dangerous in close quarters combat where she gains an understanding of where to hit you for maximum results, as well as where to follow up to take you down even harder. She was the only one who walked away that night and was forced to deal with a large police investigation that resulted in her favor, declaring it self-defense.

But she was forced to retire from sports due to her new powers and the fact that they could not only out her, but anti-parahuman rules in sports forbade her from participating. She retired with the attack as an excuse and got into martial arts, soft contact of course. Eventually over the years she gained her black belt, and certifications to teach self-defense. Which she fully advocates everybody to know some sort of defense.

She enjoys goofing off and acting a bit childish when nobody is looking and finds it relaxing and entertaining even if it's just to herself. She gives off an air of not caring about the whole cape situation but secretly enjoys the humor of capes greatly. Often playing about scenarios she thinks would be funny or entertaining.
