Appearance: Porsche works out extremely hard every day and it shows in her slender, lithe dancer's figure. She has long, wavy black hair, and dark brown eyes. She favors fiery colors in her choice of outfits - reds, oranges, and yellows; accentuated with dark black. She enjoys wearing short skirts, or tight jeans; and would never be caught out in public in a pair of sweat pants. She often wears hoop or dangle earrings, rarely studs. Her favorite piece of jewelry though is a small gold cross that her father gave her several years ago.
Costume: none yet, though when her heat sheath is active the heat blurs her appearance so it is difficult to make out any details.

History:
Porsche was raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, where her father worked whatever odd jobs he could find, which was a limited selection for a man that spoke barely any English, and kept a strict moral code. Her father had brought his family to the US from Mexico, fleeing the drug cartels, when Ramón was still a toddler, before Porsche was even born. He had actually managed to gain refugee status due to the fact that the Juarez drug cartel had put a price on him for suspecting that he has been a source for the Mexican Federal Police in the 1987 events in Santa Elena (Ojinaga), Chihuaha, Mexico that resulted in the death of the leader of the Cartel, Pablo Acosta Villarreal. Armando struggled to keep his family fed and sheltered, without compromising his morals. In Corpus Christi that meant working the overnight shift as a cook in a Whataburger for nearly minimum wage. As a result the Villar's were desperately poor.
Things took a decided turn for the worse in the fall of 2011, when Porsche's father was killed in a late night drive by shooting, in which he was not even involved, when a stray bullet ricocheted through the window of the restaurant.
Ramón , at the age of 16 was suddenly left being 'the man of the house' and quickly became involved with local gangs trying to support his mother and younger sister.
Meanwhile Porsche became more and more involved in dance, her brother paying for her lessons with the sudden influx of drug money he earned with the gang.
That lasted sevral years, but went sour when he refused to allow his young sister to be used as a drug mule, then when he tried to leave the gang they turned on him and jumped him. In the resulting fight with the gang, Porsche first manifested her powers, at the age of 14. Fearing gang retribution, Ramón packed up his mother and sister and moved them in with family in Laredo. In the two years since he has turned his life around, realizing how much his gang involvement would have upset his father, and how much it endangered his mother and sister. He is now working with the Texas Border Patrol in Laredo, and through his law enforcement contacts learned that there was a place where his young sister might learn to control her powers. Porsche is furious at him for convincing their mother to send her away, least of all to somewhere so far away from all her friends and family. She has only agreed once he convinced her that this may be her one chance out of Laredo, and maybe to follow her dream of becoming a professional dancer.
