Background
Abandonded as a baby in a church pew Sarah Miller was raised by Father James Murphy an Irish immegrant running the small church in Toronto along with a handful of nuns. Father Murphy cared greatly for the child often calling her his little Cherub due to her slight chubbiness and her genetic mutation whitch caused her to be born with hollow bones and wings; presumably this was the reason for her being left in his care. Father Murphy kept in constant contact with Sarah's mother, however Sarah to this day while loving her guardian still resents deeply the fact that she was left behind by her mother. Sarah grew quickly and strong; as a teenager she could often be found sitting atop the belltower or circling high above the church upon her great wings which had at that point reached a span of slightly more than 15 feet. When she turned 18 Sarah was recruited by a governmental agency known as H.E.R.O.(Highly Enhanced Response Operatives) in which she was trained to use her natural abilities as a intelligence gathering operative, it was also at this time when she began training in archery. The operatives of H.E.R.O. were called out in force to deal with the intial invasion of the Rikti as their portals began appearing in every major city of the world and it was during this fight that Sarah lost her right arm and had her wings and many bones in her body crushed. She was transported to Sunybrook hospital where she was put in a drug induced coma to allow her body to heal on it's own for nearly two years. When she awoke and was released from the hospital she took her very large severance from the government and traveled to Paragon City where she was fitted with her new cybernetic arm and contiues to fight the Rikti menace.
Powers
Trick Arrows
Due to a sizable income from her severance Fallconess was able to have many specialised arrows designed for her ranging from arrows capable of releasing a small electromagnetic pulse tuned to the frequency of the human brains synapses to arrows tipped in light acid designed to melt body armour but do little damge to the flesh underneath. She calls these her toys.
Archery
An expert archer who rarely misses Fallconess uses a highly customised compound bow which due to her cybernetic arm has had its draw poundage increased far beyond what the average person could use.
Other Powers
Fallconess' eyes work very much the same as a bird of prey's do, enabling her to see great distances unaided and also alowing her to pick up on subtle movements. Some have said that her ability to fly is a super power however to Fallconess this is no different than running or walking.
Abilities
Fallconess has some rudmentary mechanical knowledge, she can't fix your car but she can tune your bow for you. Although Fallconess is only capable of travelling at a little over 60mph while flying when she dives she is able to contort her body and wrap her wings around her to streamline her shape during her freefall and has been clocked in excess of 200 mph.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Fallconess is very quiet especially when working, some have likened this to her being somewhat alienated from her group but in reality she prefers to let her actions speak and not allow herself to get too invovled with any one or anything. She is still extremely protective of her team and harbours a fear that she will not be strong enough to take care of them. The reason for her aloofness stems from losing two of the men she admired most and a fear of losing the third. From the Priest she learned strength, from the soldier she learned restraint and from the hero she learned compassion, Two of these men she lost and she fears for the third.
Trivia
She did not name herself The Fallconess but rather was given the name due to the fact that her mask and feather pattern resemble the markings of a peregrine falcon.
