Physical Description
FJ is a thin woman and she is barely five feet five inches tall. She is flat chested and flat rumped, but the clothes she wears hide any figure she might have. She has bright blue eyes and straight red, almost fire engine red, hair. FJ tucks her hair up in a hat when she is working. Otherwise it is tied off in a ragged ponytail.

FJ wears her Burger King uniform to and from work. Its part of her burger flipper girl façade. Besides the polyester suit is easy to convert to something else in an emergency. It's all made from the same fabric. When she is not working FJ wears knee length split skirts over thick stockings and steel toed sneakers that she designed herself. Her shirts are wide sleeved athletic shirts that she wears over colored long underwear tops. She usually has a shoulder bag or backpack. She always is switching them around, so it is a different color or style every week.

Personality


Story
FJ is the eldest daughter of the prominent Arsenault family of Richmond, Virginia. Currently the daughter and the parents are glad that they are far away from each other. FJ's parents are too busy trying to marry off their younger, well behaved, southern bell, daughters to worry about their oldest, eccentric daughter. They spent all of FJ's teenage years trying to emotional and mentally drub the strangeness out of her, but FJ simply ignored them. She always loved her parents and just wished they would leave her alone to become a famous scientist. She escaped he governesses' teachings, and etiquette classes by absorbing herself in every kind of science kit she could purchase.

At a science fair, a prominent Son of Ether spotted her. He too was from Virginia and hated to see the girl's spark stomped on by old family traditions. He arranged for her to have a scholarship to Paris Polytechnic, a cover for the SoE Paris Symposium. Their FJ flowered. She was always battling for top ranks in her classes, and the only thing she kept from home was her southern bell drawl. But, even here among the misfits of science FJ was still a misfit. Her theories about natural and technical harmony were too far out even for the Sons of Ether, but they refused to let her inspiration escape the symposium. They listened and gleaned the best from her theories.

FJ became tired of the placating attitude of her mentors and when graduation came she informed them she was taking her 'Crusade' to save nature from humanity on the road. She was going into the belly of the beast Gotham. Her sponsor, the one who found her in Virginia, begged her not to go because he didn't want to be calling her parents to say she had died in an alley in Gotham City. But, she countered with 'the purpose of science is to live harmoniously with the environment and make life easier for humanity.'

Now she works at Burger King flipping burgers to cover for her off-hour activities. FJ has her van and her quest. In her mind that's all she needs.
