Hilda Quick, more commonly known by her superhero name Paternoster, is a superhero working in Bluff City.

Appearance

Hilda is a 17- to 18-year-old white woman with a broad smile and large, stained-glass wings. When asked about her wings, Hilda will say that the day she was born, the stained glass windows in the east wing of St Paul’s Cathedral broke and when they repaired it, there were pieces missing that formed the shape of her wings. These wings grew with her until she stopped growing.

She wears stylish, designer clothing of the type that “a British person who is excited to be in a warmer country" might wear: oversized or loose-fitting white shirts and striped linen trousers, for example. When in costume, she wears a flight jacket with a fur-lined collar similar to a fighter pilot or bomber jacket.

History and Involvement

Hilda is from London, England, where she was a well-known and widely beloved superhero who worked alone. She and her family relocated to Bluff City because of her parents' jobs. (While she had originally hoped they would move to the west coast of the USA, she was okay with the idea of moving to Bluff City.) Her fame followed her: Paternoster is a household name in Bluff City as well.

After arriving in Bluff City, she joined up with Grouse, Mr. Good, and The Champ to fight crime. She feels positively about the collaboration: instead of being only very beautiful and famous, the team allows her to be very beautiful and famous and also fight crime.

On the first day of the school year at Bluff City High, Hilda flew to school, keeping pace with the school bus.

Abilities

Hilda's main powers come from her stained glass wings, which look similar to the art for the Gift of Orzhova Magic: The Gathering card by Johannes Vosscan. Her wings can be used to reflect an refract light to move in strange ways. She is able to display a changing pattern of colours of her wings to form images that can be entrancing to those who look at them.

Although her wings are solid and made of glass, they can be tucked down to be hidden inside a modified backpack that Hilda wears.

The named NPCs must either volunteer help or information, express admiration, or ask for your help. GM's choice. On a miss, your display catches the attention of someone watching in the wrong way.

Take it from Me (Superior)

When you comfort or support someone who openly admires your celebrity persona, roll + superior instead of mundane.
