Willow Reinhardt

Willow Reinhardt
Willow Reinhardt (age 16ish), is the 4th and current holder of the heroic legacy of the Blood Angel.

Character Biography
Willow was raised alongside her twin brother by her parents, Astrid Reinhardt and Cedric White, for the early years of her life.

The Rise and Fall
At around the age of 12 or 13, Willow took on the mantle of the Red Ghost, the traditional daughter sidekick in the Blood Anger legacy. Around this time, the twin's father, known as the White Demon, had reemerged as a Villain and was thus incarcerated by their mother. This affected Willow's brother more adversely than it did her, and Cedric Reinhardt took up the mantle of the White Demon.

This culminated in their archenemy, Soma, capturing the twins within heated containment cells, burning them constantly in order to keep their regenerative abilities in check. Their mother, the third Blood Angel showed up to save them, but not before Cedric gave his own life to save that of his sister.

Grief and a Bad Costume
After her brother's death, Willow's personality seemed to change rapidly, no longer was she the smiling, plucky sidekick, she had gained a temper and an affinity for loud, angry music and black clothing. Her mother and grandmother reacted somewhat drastically and hired a team of professional costume designers to give Willow more preppy makeover. Unfortunately for Willow, these costume designers took preppy teenage girl to mean cheerleader and employed the rule that "sex sells". This lead to Willow, as the Red Ghost, wearing a costume unbecoming of a 14 year old girl, one which she absolutely despised.

Wearing the Mantle
When the third Blood Angel mysteriously went missing, Willow rose to the occasion and took the title for herself. Her first act as Blood Angel: burning all copies of her previous, Red Ghost, costume. She decided that no one else would ever decide what she would wear again, much to her image conscious grandmother's chagrin. Her costume as blood angel would truly be part of her, in fact, it would be made from her own flesh and bone.

Powers and Abilities
As a result of Nazi scientific and magical experiments done on her great grandmother and grandmother, Willow was an active meta-gene. Her abilities have caused the loss of her pigmentation, causing her to be albino from birth.

Like her forebears, she has the ability to rapidly regenerate damaged flesh on her body. This healing factor is slower than that of Wolverine when she is not actively focusing on it, but when she applies thought to healing, the results can be near instantaneous, with the exception of burns caused by heat or acid.

Her forebears were also able to turn their bodies into clouds of blood in order to pass through areas easier and shrug off physical harm. Each consecutive generation has improved this ability, with her mother being able to alter shapes and features of her anatomy. Willow (and her late brother) had much more advanced versions of this, being able to grow new limbs, weapons, and tools from varying tissues, such as bone darts and ligament nets. She has lately been experimenting with making rudimentary automated flesh constructs, which are modifications on her gut bag, which is a temporary life support system for her internal organs while she is out fighting crime.

Willow is able to fly using a pair of bat-like wings that she often forms as a split cape.

Relationships
Willow has a somewhat back-and-forth relationship with Striker. They often argue and fight, one of such arguments (over Willow disliking Striker's new costume, no less) resulted in the partial collapse of a subway tunnel.

She has a trusting, supportive relationship with Holly (Hello-Jello), having in the past divulged a secret about herself to the slime girl to make her feel better about not being in control of her appearance.
