Personality Notes:
Personal Interactions: Ms. Therva seems to make friends easily, is often chatty and engaging, and quickly forms alliances both while performing missions or while relaxing. This is in strange contrast to a little under a year ago, when Ms. Therva was social only to her fellow addicts and those she planned on taking advantage of. She often touches those she speaks to, and seems to have difficulty maintaining personal space. She also displays strangely low levels of personal modesty.

Combat Approach: Highly aggressive in combat, unlike most blasters, subject is not a distance combatant but prefers to close into hand to hand range. She works comfortably with all archetypes and personalities, with the sole exception of people she deems "cowardly." Empaths and controllers are not seen as "cowardly" and she often encourages them to remain at a distance from the combat. Ms. Therva also seems to demonstrate advanced knowledge of small unit tactics, ambush tactics, military tactics and jargon, and guerrilla warfare, despite having no formal training in such.

Appearance: The subject is a young woman in excellent physical shape. She has been described as "lush bodied", "wicked looking", and attractive. She is aggressive in combat as well as picking up temporary lovers in Pocket-D. She shows little to no signs of her extensive drug addiction, as well as no tendency to return to her addictive behavior. She often wears pink, with the exception of the Christmas holiday season, when she wears green and red. She wears a targeting reticule of unknown design, although enhanced surveillance video images have revealed that the earpiece has "Defenders of the Motherland" written in Russian engraved on it. She is never seen without a blue beret, which has been confirmed to be a genuine UN beret. The pin on the beret is an anomaly, as previously it was of unknown design, but following the Praetorian invasion the pin's design surfaced as the crest awarded to UN Vanguard personnel, stationed in the Rikti War Zone, who took part in repelling the attack of Kings Row. Even though the subject took part in the defense of Kings Row, arriving almost at the exact time that Praetorain forces arrived. Examination of the footage of the unit crest has determined that the pin is at least six years old, despite the fairly recent creation of the crest. The artist who designed the crest in Finnish, has never set foot in the United States, and denies knowledge of the subject's crest.

Behavior: Brash and outgoing, she's known for referring even to new acquaintances as "baby" or "honey", as well as referring to combat as "the hurty game" with a smile. When not spending the night with someone she met in Pocket-D that night, she usually sleeps in the superbase of the Patriot Brigade. She's known for partying in Pocket-D quite often, usually after missions, however after fighting the Devouring Earth, she's well known for getting highly intoxicated, as well as alternating between being belligerent and melancholy. She shows little personal modesty after her reemergence in 2011, in sharp contrast to her previous shyness. Longbow psychiatric analysts suggest that this is in response to her years of addiction. She habitually seeks to physically touch people, no matter their outward appearance, and has been seen to refuse to associate or interact with those who do not allow her to touch them. The subject has no permanent residence, no vehicle, and very few personal possessions outside of battle trophies and small trinkets gifted to her by lovers. ADDENDUM: The Longbow Behavior Analysis Unit has determined that the subject's habitual casual sexual encounters appear to have a pattern. Prior to the Shivan attack upon Galaxy City she initiated sexual encounters with several heroes who later gave their lives in the defense of Galaxy City. Three encounters described as "of note" by LBAU were with superpowered heroes that died alone, and one female hero had told a friend that the subject told her several times that "Whenever you think that nobody cares, honey, remember that I do." Prior to the attack by Praetorian Earth the subject initiated casual sexual encounters with individuals who died in the defense of Primal Earth, often those who died under heroic circumstances or died alone. LBAU located an associate of one hero who died during what is now known as "The Apex Strike", trying to prevent multiple War Walkers from attacking a PPD emergency medical station, and was last seen facing off against five War Walkers by himself. In a statement to LBAU, the associate commented that the subject told the deceased "Tachyon Hammer will always be with you, baby." and that the deceased also mentioned that the subject gave the deceased a picture of her, a closeup focused on her eyes. Investigation showed that the deceased was found holding onto the picture, having bled to death while the Praetorian Earth medical jammers were active.

Habits: Subject is known for excessive alcohol consumption, causal liaisons, dancing, and an almost gleeful attitude when engaging in combat. She is also known for referring to herself in the third person at odd times. She possesses an involuntary habit of rubbing the scar on her right thigh when agitated, or clicking her tongue thinking.

Notes:

Feb, 2007 Subject is typical in mindset of newly powered heroes. Physical and Psychological testing have revealed no anomalies. Cleared for Hero Corps duty.

August, 2007 Subject suffered severe injuries during Second Rikti Invasion. Post release from the Paragon City Hospital after a 2 week stay subject has resigned from supergroup and disappeared.

October, 2007 Agents in "Boomtown" have confirmed that subject has become a drug addict and lives in various Lost encampments.

October 2008 Annual review has determined that subject remains addicted to drugs and is currently homeless.

June, 2009 Subject arrested by PPD for shoplifting

July, 2009 Subject arrested by PPD for possession of a controlled substance, sentenced to six months in Zigursky prison.

September, 2009 Subject released from Zigursky prison early on good behavior. Department of Corrections noted that subjects powers have degraded to the point where subject can do little more than a mild electrostatic shock on skin to skin contact.

October, 2009 Annual review has determined that subject's status in unchanged.

December, 2009 Subject admitted to Galaxy City hospital with pnuemonia and suffering from hypothermia after subject was found asleep in an alley.

February, 2010 Subject arrested for solicitation. Sentenced to 30 days.

April, 2010 Subject hospitalized after attack by Hellions. Subject fled hospital upon awakening after allegedly stealing narcotics from a nurse's cart.

May, 2010 Subject arrested for panhandling in Atlas Park.

June, 2010 Subject has resurfaced in Pocket-D, engaging in extensive alcohol consumption. It appears that subject has developed Bipolar Type II. Subject seen wearing pink leather jacket, pink leather mini-skirt, pink fishnet stockings, Crey Series jet-boots painted pink with blue highlights, a UN beret, and forearm bracers consistent with gifts to guests at Manticore's wedding. Subject is in possession of monetary funds, appears clean and well groomed, and subject's powers seem to have returned.

July, 2011 Subject has resurfaced on the streets of Paragon City, often intoxicated, fighting superpowered criminals. Security footage has shown that her powers have seemed to gained strength, but she shows previously undocumented combat expertise and control over her powers.

July, 2011 Agents in Pocket-D have witnessed a confrontation between superpowered individual "Mythus Prime" and subject, resulting in a loud vocal disagreement. Afterwards subject has vanished. It is presumed she has returned to addiction and squatting in Boomtown. Longbow Behavior Analysis Unit believes that the subject has not returned to her previous life as an addict, but instead has left Paragon City.

August, 2011 Between 2007 and 2011 subject was another junkie living in Boomtown and frequenting Pocket-D to make drug deals and find partners for casual sex. An extreme personality shift seemed to take place in June of 2010, and biometric scans have concurred that Ms. Thervan is indeed who she says she is. Scars that have become present since her initial Hero Corps intake physical are presumed to be from living an addicts life in Boomtown. Additionally, a hair sample acquired by an agent in Pocket-D shows that subject has been clean of drugs in at least eight months.

September, 2011 Subject accessed Ouroborus with an unregistered portal device. Agent investigation has shown that the device possessing the energy signature and serial number of the device used by the subject is currently in the possession of the PPD evidence locker, and was previously the property of REDACTED. The device was secured by Longbow, and even though it has been in Longbow custody, the subject has repeatedly used the device. Examination of the energy signature has also shown that the subject has modified the device in such a way that in effects Devouring Earth telepathic communication. No other device is has shown these properties.

September, 2011 Subject participated in the defense of Galaxy City, rallying PPD, Longbow, and Vanguard units that had been cut off and almost overwhelmed repeatedly. Subject only left Galaxy City after rescuing a young girl now known as "Skrunchie" who had been seriously injured by Shivans who had destroyed her home and killed her family.

October, 2011 Agents placed in Pocket-D have made note of the fact that while subject still spends much of her free time in Pocket-D looking for casual sex hookups, subject does not maintain her usual intoxicated state. Additionally a blood sample aquired by an agent posing as a vampire showed no traces of any drugs in subject's bloodstream.

November, 2011 Subject was seen by Longbow agents in the Rogue Isles. Intelligence gathered showed she was searching for a subject known as "Code Vatnya" AKA Mikheal Vatnya, rather than enlisting in the employ of Arachnos or other known terrorist organizations. Subject left the Rogue Isles after a confrontation with known superpowered criminal "Bankshot Bart". Three days after Subject left via Pocket-D portal, "Bankshot Bart" was found deceased in Port Oakes. Autopsy showed that "Bankshot Bart" was shot in the back of the head at close range with a plasma pistol. Injury was consistent with a Longbow service pistol possessed by Longbow Warden John Finnegan, currently REDACTED and now part of an official investigation into the murder. ADDENDUM: Warden Finnegan has been found guilty of REDACTED after official investigation and is presumed to have executed "Bankshot Bart" as part of his criminal activities.

November, 2011 Subject has attempted to convince those responsible for crafting Ouroboros portal devices to include the modifications present in her own device. Subject claims that the device allows those using it to create ambushes by luring Devouring Earth to the location of the portal, as well as causing Devouring Earth to become somewhat disorganized. Subject was highly intoxicated and verbally abusive to a Longbow Warden who was meeting with one of the Menders, and is quoted with the following: "How do you feel knowing that I personally slit your throat and left your body for the Hunters?" She then accused the Warden of leaving children to die at the hands of "Hami-Spawn" and said "For an empty ration can I'd slit your throat right here with one of your own spines if I knew that the Herald was going to arrive, REDACTED." Subject knew the Warden's actual name, as well as the name of the Warden's adolescent sister, who the subject accused of "throwing in front of Hami-Spawn to save your own worthless hide." This agent suggests additional investigation regarding these statements.

November, 2011 An attempt to take the subject into Longbow custody for questioning regarding accusations made against Warden REDACTED as well as the assault against Warden REDACTED in the Rikti War Zone resulted in multiple Longbow agents being severely injured. Subject has employed Alfred van Bortel, a well known attorney, and has been granted a restraining order against Longbow by Rhode Island Superior Court, citing "illegal surveillance", "organized stalking", "pattern of malicious intent", and providing evidence that Warden REDACTED attacked the subject without provocation, contrary to the Warden's claims.

December, 2011 Subject has shown a rapid increase in power and ability. Subject has shown a reluctance to engage Praetorian Earth forces outside of those forces invading Primal Earth. Additional evidence has shown unwarranted aggression toward Devouring Earth subjects, to the inclusion of dropping the search for a missing child in order to engage a minor Devouring Earth incursion in Founder's Falls. ADDENDUM: Investigation has verified that subject has been repeatedly sighted in First Ward, more concerned with Devouring Earth and Hamidon Seed events than Arachnos or Resistance forces. This agent feels that the pattern of aggression against Hamidon creatures may require additional investigation.

January, 2012 Agents searching Boomtown, following the tip of an anonymous Lost informant, located the corpse of a young woman in a ruined apartment. Initial DNA scan has shown that this woman is the same woman who joined Hero Corps in 2007, and autopsy and crime scene investigation has shown that the young woman was murdered May to July, 2011. CoD was manual strangulation with a scarf. Fingerprints found on the scene have been verified as Warden Finnegan. ADDENDUM: Longbow Internal Investigation Division has determined that the deceased female may have been the Praetorian Earth version of the subject, and was killed by Warden Finnegan, making her his 32nd victim.

January, 2012 Evidence regarding the murder of the subject was presented to Paragon City law enforcement as well as to the judge reviewing the subject's restraining order against Longbow. Alfred van Bortel, who is representing the subject before Rhode Island Superior Court, has presented this evidence of "Longbow's vendetta" against the subject.

Psychological Profile Note: Subject appears to have developed Biopolar Type II mental disorder sometime during her long tenure as an addict. Often observed to have violent outbursts, long periods of depressive melancholy during which she self-medicates with alcohol and sexual intercourse usually following encounters with the Devouring Earth or Hamidon, and alcohol abuse.

ADDENDUM: Mihkeal Vatnya has been confirmed as Captain Mihkeal Vatnya, Russian Spetsnaz (Deceased), and was killed in Afghanistan in 1983. Preatorian Earth Mihkeal Vatnya was killed during the Hamidon Attack. Subject's interest in the deceased is unknown.

ADDENDUM: When intoxicated, and at times when subject is excited, under stress, or distracted, subject has been heard to refer to Paragon City as "Paradise City" and the Portal Corps facility as "Portal's Corpse" for unknown reasons. Additionally, Agent REDACTED has heard subject refer to Statesman as "Failstate" on numerous occassions when subject is intoxicated and the Statesman is brought up in conversation.

ADDENDUM: After the death of Alexis Cole-Duncan Statesman vanished and subject has almost obsessively engaged in combat with Devouring Earth, even going so far as to enter The Hive alone in order to engage DE in combat, as well as convincing other superpowered subjects to accompany her to First Ward to face the Seed of Hamidon. As of 08 Jan 12 subject became extremely intoxicated in Pocket-D and was heard to refer to Statesman as "The Herald of Hamidon" and told REDACTED, who was present during an assault she led on the Seed of Hamidon and had accompanied her to Pocket-D after the mission that "You ain't seen nothing yet. If Statesman comes back as the Herald of Hamidon, what you saw there in First Ward is pretty much what all of Paradise City will look like. Hope you didn't have many friends who work at Portal Corpse or you're gonna be investing in some black wardrobe additions." Subject was escorted from Pocket-D by Mythus Prime immediately while being berated for her "gossip" after the statement and encouraged to cease binge drinking by Mythus Prime. While most intelligence analysts consider this to be little more than intoxicated rambling, this analyst believes that this statement may be information that should not be ignored.

Skrunchie is a young girl rescued by Tachyon Hammer toward the end of the destruction of Galaxy City by the Shivans. Suffering from crush trauma, Tachyon Hammer was adamant about not allowing Skrunchie to be hospitalized, instead insisting that Miss Moral heal the young girl.

From what we've gathered from her constant chatter, Skrunchie was born and raised in Galaxy City. Her father was a superhero with telepathic abilities, and Skrunchie claims that her father was forced to quit after "hurting his back" and when "brown people took away his position at Hero Corps." The absent-minded, almost innocent racism in many of the young girl's quotes about her father's parental "wisdom" give me serious concerns about the way she was raised. Her mother was apparently an unpowered woman who was completely submissive to Skrunchie's father, and I can't help but wonder if the girl's father used his telepathic powers to dominate an innocent woman.

Skrunchie shows rapidly maturing fire powers, as well as wielding, of all things, a rocket-powered hammer larger than she is. For such a small girl she is incredibly resistant to damage, and is amazingly strong, nearly as strong as my old friend Zuka.

The little girl doesn't sleep much, preferring to watch Cartoon Network with Zuka at night, sitting in the Day Room of the superbase in her pajamas and eating bowl after bowl of sugary cereal that she's usually put at least a cup of sugar into. This also concerns me deeply, even though Miss Moral has assured me that it is not causing any physiological or psychological harm to the little one. Much like Tachyon Hammer, who seems to have a strange attachment to the little girl, she seems fueled by sugar, although thankfully she doesn't imbibe alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine like Tach does. Miss Moral has assured me that she requires massive amounts of sugar to fuel her superpowers, which is another reason the little girl seems to me like she is constantly eating everything not nailed down.

I have to admit, walking into the Day Room to see her curled up and asleep in Zuka's lap will never cease to amuse me. Something about a 13 year old little girl, wearing Spongebob pajamas, curled up and sucking her thumb in the lap of a 10 foot tall zombie makes me smile.

Skrunchie wears private school uniforms that she begged Tachyon Hammer to buy her. Usually these uniforms look like the same uniforms various young girls on Japanese cartoon shows wear, and Miss Moral assures me that the this is all part of her repression.

And with that, I must address what we have come to piece together of the girl's past, even though it both pains and angers me.

Skrunchie was raised by a mother and father who apparently were racist toward anyone "not white like Jesus", and her father was apparently mentally abusive in a way that only a telepath could be.

If her mother had not performed household chores or "pleased" her father to her father's standards or desires, her mother was put in "the punishment box" in order to "repent for her sins of sloth" until her father was satisfied.

Right before "I" saved her, her father had apparently crafted Skrunchie a "punishment box" of her very own. Skrunchie mentions that "the box is in our minds, so we can always carry our punishment with us and can never just hide from it." Miss Moral spent many hours carefully dismantling and removing what she referred to as a "Domination Trap", and told me that she'd found "memories" that Skrunchie had spent days at a time locked in that box.

The thought that a father would trap a little girl inside of a wooden box that existed only in her own mind sickens me.

The destruction of Galaxy City is where Skrunchie completely loses connection with reality, and despite the fact that I want to deny her claims, I cannot, in good conscience, leave that little girl with nobody.

According to Skrunchie, I am her grandfather, who came to her house and took him to live in his superbase with him until she can gain control of her fire powers. Sometimes she claims that I arrived because I'd heard she needed my help, other times she claims that her father sent her to me after she burned the garage down.

In reality the Shivans killed her family and destroyed her house. She had ran to the garage, where she was convinced her mother was in her "punishment box", and used the hammer she had built in JR High shop class to defend herself. Her fire powers kicked in in self defense, and the garage began to burn. It partially collapsed on her, trapping her in the burning wreckage.

It was then that Tachyon Hammer saved her. Tachyon Hammer claims that she heard Skrunchie screaming, and I hate to say this, but I do not believe her.

Skrunchie watched that terrible 1990's "Patriot Brigade Adventures" cartoon show when she was younger, and built an elaborate fantasy that I was her grandfather and would soon come to rescue her from the abuse she was suffering. Miss Moral has told me that many abused youngsters craft such fantasies and suffer such delusions.

Since she was roughly 10 Skrunchie has had unrestricted access to the internet, and apparently is a fan of something she calls "slash-fiction". I'm not sure what that is, and Tachyon Hammer has told me to just let it drop.

I'm worried about the little girl. She's far to young to be trying to play hero. With the Praetorian War, the Rikti War, and the Shivan Invasion, now is an even more dangerous time to be a hero.

Despite my concerns Tachyon Hammer, Zuka, and Miss Moral all insist she not only be allowed to live with us instead of being remanded to an orphanage, but she be allowed to continue living out her fantasies.

I pray for her.

Although the good Colonel is concerned for Skrunchie, he should not be. Hades had claimed her soul, she was supposed to enter his domain as the Fates had already determined that the child would die. Tachyon Hammer somehow saved her, and my questioning of the Fates revealed that Tachyon Hammer has no thread of life.

The good Colonel should remember that Primal Earth is at war, facing the Mad Tyrant of Praetoria, the Devouring Horde, and the Angered Ones, and in war, people die. It was not long ago that "children" Skrunchie's age marched into battle alongside adults.

Skrunchie is now a threadless one, one who's destiny cannot be determined, one who is beyond the Fates.

The good Colonel should be patient, and remember that even the smallest things can make the biggest impact on the world.

Skrunchie has her part to play, as do we all.
