=Sub-Power= Hidden Scars
-Charity can heal mental, emotional, and spiritual wounds. This has the potential to turn someone evil back to good, though this is not always the outcome. Since the wounds cannot be seen directly by Charity, this type of healing requires a willing target.
Wings of Light-She can create wings of light on her back and fly up to 100 miles per hour. She can only carry an amount of weight while flying up to her own body weight. Oddly enough, while flying, the wings seem more symbolic than anything, as they often stay still during flight. They pass through physical objects with no trouble. As she flies, Charity seems unaffected by the wind and g-forces associated with her flight.
Halo-When activated, a halo of light appears above her head. Provides Charity with the ability to sense the locations of nearby individuals. The ease of sensing someone's location depends on how close they are. She can sense normal humans within 500 feet. She can sense strong spiritual presences, like angels, demons, ect, within a mile.

~~~CHARACTER BACKGROUND~~~
Family Members: Alex and Cianna Rivers (Parents)
Place of Origin: San Francisco, California
Current City: Star City
History:
Charity was born with white hair, so it wasn't that hard to figure out that she was special. Her compassionate nature was strong, even at a young age. In school, she often gave her snacks and lunches away to other kids who hadn't brought a lunch. This left her weak and hungry for the rest of the day. Her parents were not pleased, and they confronted her about these actions. They told her to make sure to eat her lunch, and that it wasn't her responsibility to feed other kids.
But Charity saw things differently. To her, it was her responsibility. She had the power (food) to relieve the pain (hunger) of the poorer kids. From the days she had gone without eating, she knew exactly what they went through every single day. Wasn't it right for her to help them?
That was when she healed her parents. They realized that their hearts had been hardened over the years. When they were growing up, they had very little, but now they realized that though they had plenty to spare, they were still carrying around worry from years past. Those words from Charity returned to them their compassion for those less fortunate.
A year later, when Charity healed a neighbor's broken leg, the Rivers realized just how special their little daughter was. She had a gift, and they felt that gift needed to be shared with the world. The Rivers moved to Star City, a place filled with strange and supernatural phenomenon. It seemed like the place where Charity would be able to use her gift the most.
Charity is, in fact, the current physical representation of the Virtue of Charity. There have been several Charities during the past. Charity is currently unaware of the source of her power.
