FANTASY CASTING: Kira Kosarin

HEROINE: Songbird

ALTER EGO: Allison Vogel

AGE: 20

OCCUPATION: Undergrad

HEIGHT: 5‘8“

WEIGHT: 125lbs

HAIR: Raven black, long and wavy

EYES: Brown

ETHNICITY: American, of Jewish descent

COSTUME: A blue one piece. Scooped neckline, though the shoulders of the one piece merge into a white collar. The shoulder straps also connect to a white cap that falls to about mid-thigh. A pair of solid white arm bands encase each bicep, while she also sports matching elbow length gloves. At the waist, she wears a white sash, tied off and knotted just above the right hip. Her identity is preserved by a blue eye mask. Blue boots complete the ensemble.

POWERS:

--Enhanced strength

--Enhanced reflexes

--Sonic Burst (think Canary Cry--she can scream energy pulses which hit with percussion force.)

--Kinetic Bursts (like her cry, she can also launch sonic force beams from her hands. She can also use these beams to propel herself off the ground and to fly, a la Tony Stark.)

WEAKNESSES:

--Inexperience, and all that comes with it.

--Not impervious to conventional weapons.

BIO:

Allison Vogel was born in Angel Falls on October 7th, 1997--the daughter of Arthur Vogel, a corporate attorney, and Amanda Vogel (nee Morgan), at the time a representative in the state legislature.

At the age of 12, tragedy struck Allison’s life. Her family were the victims of a home invasion, resulting in the murder of her father, the vicious assault of her mother (who was left for dead), and the abduction of Allison herself. Their attacker, a drug addict and registered sex offender named Malcolm Thomas, took young Allison to a storage unit he had rented and had sound proofed, and in which he intended to hold her while using her for his sick and sadistic pleasures. But an odd thing happened when Malcolm began to advance on the terrified young girl:

Allison screamed.

Now, this in and of itself would not have been odd. But her scream ended up knocking Thomas off his feet and slamming him back into the wall, with enough force to knock him unconscious. After Allison overcame her own shock at what had transpired, she ran as far and as fast as she could, eventually reaching a house with the living room light on. She banged on the door, actually putting a dent in it--which was attributed at the time to fear and adrenaline. The family took her in and called 911, with police and paramedics immediately dispatched to the Vogel residence and further police sent to the storage unit.

Amanda Vogel was found just clinging to life and rushed to the hospital, where doctors did in fact manage to save her. Allison chose not to tell her mother the full details of how she had escaped. For one thing, she doubted she would be believed. But she also didn’t want to overburden her mother, who was also having to deal with Arthur’s death and her own recovery, with what she had discovered about herself.

Instead, Allison went about testing and exploring her powers and abilities in secret. To this day, she has no idea just how they originated--she presumes simple genetic mutation. But over time, she learned that she was stronger than the average human, quicker than the average human (though not, necessarily, faster), and that in addition to her scream, she could produce force waves with her hands. And before long, she worked out that she could use THOSE waves not just to attack criminals, but also to elevate herself and to fly.

While Malcolm Thomas had recovered enough to flee the scene before the police could arrive, eventually he was tracked down and arrested. The case took a number of years to work its way through the court system, and initially resulted in a conviction, which was appealed. Unfortunately, a technicality forced the case to be thrown out of court, allowing him to beat the charge and walk free. Allison promptly dedicated herself to studying criminal justice, with the intention of going to law school and joining the prosecutor’s office in adult life.

But until then, she could fight crime her own way. Developing the guise of Songbird, Allison began to target criminal activity occurring in Angel Falls--and she took IMMENSE satisfaction when one of her first acts as a costumed heroine was saving another young girl from Malcolm Thomas, delivering him to the authorities, hopefully this time to be put away for good.

After graduating high school, Allison enrolled at Angel Falls University, while continuing to fight crime.

In spite of the tragedy she has experienced, Allison has managed to retain a bright and cheerful disposition. She tends to make friends very easily, though she does tend to be initially more skeptical of men, it must be said. Her best friend is a fellow AFU undergrad named Michelle Morrison, with whom she shares an apartment. Michelle does NOT know that her roommate is secretly a costumed crimefighter (which is perhaps the ONLY thing in Allison's closest that Michelle hasn't at some point found or borrowed) and Allison wants to keep it that way, not wanting to draw her friend into her fight.

Allison is highly intelligent, fiercely determined, and feels an intense need to do all that she can to prevent anyone else from knowing the trauma she has known in her life.
