exercise.  Her skin has a reddish-gold tone, which clearly displays her Indian heritage, and her features have a pleasantly exotic cast.  Her hair is a glossy black, worn in a single thick braid that reaches almost to her waist.       On her own time, she tends to wear stylish, moderately fancy clothing, preferring the colorful and ornate Indian garb to more traditional Western clothes.  Her Resolutes uniform is two-toned as required, with gold trim over a dark red background (instead of the usual green and gold).  A heavy gauntlet of gold-colored metal and electronics covers her left hand and forearm- this helps her direct and channel her plasma energy.[/sblock]HISTORY[sblock]     Radha Singh and her family were part of a thriving Indian community in the western suburbs of London.  Her family and many of her neighbors maintained a fairly close-knit, isolationist community, a tiny island of India in England.  Radha, however, always had a more adventurous, inquisitive streak- she was interested in the cultures, languages, and stories of other lands and people, from the mundanity of the London suburbs to the wildest and most exotic foreign locales.  Luckily for her, a number of her relatives worked in and around Heathrow, and through a bit of social networking, Radha managed to get a job with British Airways.  She began as a counter attendant, but quickly worked her way into the role of flight attendant.  Naturally poised and charismatic, she found herself assigned to the first class cabin on any number of British Airways flights to exotic destinations all around the world.  For several years, she was quite happy with this lifestyle, despite her parents’ constant nagging disapproval.     All of this, both good and bad, came to an end late in 2005.  Kashmiri separatist militants managed to hire a metahuman mercenary, the powerful telekinetic known as Typhoon.  As a symbolic act, Typhoon attacked a number of airliners headed into or out of Indian airspace over the course of a three-week period, striking at random to maximize the fear and chaos of his actions.  Several planes crashed, and a number of others were damaged but managed to land at least somewhat safely.  The plane that Radha was on was the last one that typhoon targeted- for a number of reasons.  In the sky 35,000 over northern India, the British Airways 747 was all-but torn apart by a gale of telekinetic force.  350 people were killed- one survived.  That one was Radha Singh, saved from certain death when her metahuman powers were triggered by the catastrophic stress of the situation.  As sometimes happens with metahumans, the first surge of her powers was quite impressive- enough to badly injure Typhoon, and to cause a pyrotechnic display visible for miles.  Afterwards Radha was exhausted, and only the timely arrival of other metahumans allowed her to be brought to a hospital in time to arrange medical care.       Radha spent quite some time in isolation after that, in the care of the British government.  They wanted to examine her thoroughly, and then they had to decide what ought to be done with her.  She wasn’t precisely military material, despite the potential tactical value of her powers.  And while the British Isles were not exactly overflowing with metahumans, the government wasn’t quite sure they wanted to back a “superheroine” who had quite so much potential for property damage…  After a few months, though, another opportunity presented itself- The UN inquired about Radha, having observed her appearance over India.  With the new superhuman task force finally getting into the field operations stage, there was a constant need for new operatives- and Great Britain had not contributed very much thus far.  After a bit of diplomatic wrangling Radha was packed off to the USA to begin her training, under her new codename Spitfire.  One additional benefit of the arrangement was access to the sort of technology that only the UN could provide- in her case, a portable electromagnetic field projector which allowed her to harness and focus her plasma energies with significant increase in range and scope.  Despite her relative inexperience, she was assigned to the field team rather quickly.[/sblock]Power notes: [sblock]Spitfire is basically a living nuclear plasma reactor, rather like the sun.  The energies that she generates sustain her body more efficiently than normal nourishment, and she can generate her plasma aura with almost no effort or conscious thought.  She is far less practiced at projecting her energies at range- at this point she can only do so with technological assistance, and while she is learning quickly, she has not yet mastered the intricacies of that form of usage (this is why she has a Blast-based array instead of the more advanced Plasma Control power).     Note 2: While her powers are mutation-based (triggered by the so-called “Comet effect”), Radha believes that she is divinely blessed by one or more of the deities of the Hindu pantheon (possibly Durga or Shiva).  She doesn’t talk about the matter really; it is more a detail of her personal attitude and approach to things.[/sblock]</blockquote>
