history
Early years
Born only two years prior to Dr. Destroyers attack on Detroit, Elizabeth has no real memory of the city of her birth, only stories told by her mother. Roughly three weeks after her second birthday, the disaster struck. Both Elizabeth and her mother where lucky enough to survive the attack with only minor injuries, her father however, was gone.
Rebuilding
Elizabeths mother decided to stay in Detroit after the attack, devoting herself to the rebuilding of what was to become Millenium City. It was during this time that the powers Elizabeth had been born with started to show, and to avoid any potential risk she was given a private nanny and teacher, paid for by the governement, while her mother was working.
As she grew older, and started attending to school, Elizabeth constantly heard stories about the great heroes making sure Millenium City remained a safe place to live. While she was to young to yet realize what her own powers might mean for her future, the idea had been planted that would eventually lead her to donning a costume to fight villains.
Origin of "Pintsize"
It was during her 19th year the event that created "Pintsize" occured. After spending most of the day with friends, Elizabeth was returning home perhaps a bit later than planned. On the way she passed by a small electronics store, where she spottet a burglary in progress. Mind filled with the tales of brave heroes fighting for the city she rushed in to stop him, and without thinking punched him with all the strength she could muster.
He survived, but only barely. In the resulting chaos, she was herself taken in by the police for use of unnessecary violence, and given the choice of either being kept under surveilance, or be registered as a governemently sanctioned hero. She chose the later.
In order to be allowed to operate as a hero she was given training in several martial arts, in order to have enough controll of her body to avoid seriously hurting anyone by accident. When asked for a hero-identity, she gave them her school-nickname, "Pintsize".
Relations
Mother
Being the only still living member of her familly, Pintsize holds a very close connection to her mother. She still lives at home, and with the help of a friend has hooked up the house with several protective meassures, in addition to an alarm that connects directly to her suits computer-system.
Her mother is also one of the few people not connected to the governement that is aware of "Pintsize" being Elizabeth, and seems to be very proud (and a bit worried), about her status as a hero.
David
A close friend from school, and leader of the "geek squad" that Elizabeth ended up joining during her studies. David has since taken on the job of being Pintsizes personal Intelligence-officer. Through a computer directly connected to MCPD's network, and a police-radio, David constantly keeps her updated on any important events around the city.
Powers
Pintsize posesses a muscle, bone and skin density far above that of an average human, leaving her with superhuman strength and durability. When last tested, she was shown to be capable of lifting just under 12 tons, though the upper limit to her development is as of yet unknown. Her skin is durable enough to deflect anything but close range fire with large calibre, armor-piercing amunition, and her bone structure is almost unbreakable by any regular means.
As a side effect of this abnormal structural density however, her body stopped visibly growing at somewhere around the size of an average 16-year old girl, and it is unlikely that this will correct itself later. Hence the nickname and hero identity "Pintsize".
Equipment
Mimetic metal suit
Due to the heavy forces Pintsizes strength exerts on any clothing she should chose to wear, a scientist collegue helped her mother design a suit made up of a mimetic metal alloy, that Pintsize can alter through a small controllchip connected to her nervous-system. This suit can be shaped into anything from casual street-wear, to a protective combat-armor, in just a few seconds whenever she desires.
Combat style
Though trained in multiple forms of martial arts, Pintsize prefers to simply use her incredible strength to her advantage, trusting her durability to prevent her from comming to any harm. This leads to a heavily improvized style, using anything from straight up hitting the target, to grabbing items from nearby to either throw or enhance her punches as she sees fit, to grabbing the target and flinging it into nearby walls or simmilar surfaces.
