Permafrost

Anna Tomkin aka Permafrost posseses the powers of Divine Ice Manipulation and Inuit Diety Physiology. She is a loner.

Origin
Anna grew up in Alaska. Her family, of Inuit descent, lived in a modern home near Ankorage. As a child, her grandmother told Anna countless stories about the traditions of her people and elaborate tales of the gods and goddesses of her ancestors. When the virus struck, Anna watched helpless as her family and friends were taken one by one. As she became ill herself, she recalled the stories of her grandmother and prayed in desperation to the Inuit gods. Asiaq, goddess of weather, answered her call, giving her the gift of divine ice, protecting and healing her from the disease that she might live on to keep the spirit and stories of the Inuit people alive. Though too late to save her loved ones, her powers of healing ice conpelled her to help others. She travels the wastelands searching for other loners to heal and aid.

Powers and Abilities
Permafrost posseses the ability to manipulate divine ice. While this can be used offensively by freezing opponents bodies or by creating shards of ice, she prefers to use her abilities for their defensive appliaction. Divine ice has healing properties, allowing Permafrost to heal herself and others as well as purify evil and impure objects. Her Inuit diety physiology gives her the ability to stay underwater for long periods of time. Though not completely amphibious, her fins allow her to swim faster than a normal human.
