Mental characteristics
Personal history
Anaya was born in Stoaria, a land decimated by war and conflict. She was born with the power to manipulate and project energy. Anaya grew up with a deep desire for justice. Living in a lawless and broken city torn apart by powerful people made her want to use hers for good. When she became an adult, Anaya moved to Bedrock and became a member of Sentinel, the supposedly heroic organization. Despite achieving her dream of being part of the greatest hero organization, the reality was much harsher. The majority of her training centered around combat and not emergency responses. The culture surrounding Sentinel was more militaristic than she was comfortable with as well. Anaya took on the name Crystal and became a well known hero. She was beloved for her generosity, compassion, and her will to fight injustice, even if it meant killing criminals.
Anaya's strength made her a prime candidate to become a part of Sentinel's Mask Branch, which she was told that was the most important position. As it turned out, the Mask Branch was focused on assassinations and covert operations. Anaya turned out to be talented in this area. She killed many high profile targets and powerful enemies, some of whom were her fellow heroes. Overtime her reputation as a great and well known superhero faded as she was rarely seen by the public. Overtime, Anaya became disillusioned with her work and how she was further distancing herself from her original goal.
Anaya met a member of the Mask branch who eventually became her mentor. He gave her useful tips for her missions, but overtime, it became clear that this was to his benefit rather than hers. Her tips led her to assassinate people that had little to do with anything and only gave Sentinel more power. She fought her mentor and was blacklisted from Sentinel. After leaving her life as a hero behind, Anaya met a man named Sebastian. The two of them fought, but it ended as quickly as it started. The two of them fell in love and had two children, Alexander and Grace. The family lived in Bedrock and Anaya worked as a librarian.
Anaya was deeply paranoid that enemies she made would come for her family. She taught her older child, Alex about Amped humans and their various abilities as well how to fight himself, though her teachings were on the extreme end. She taught him that anything could be a lethal weapon in the right hands by strangling him with his own hoodie. Unfortunately, her fears were realized when the Mask operative attacked her home. Anaya tried to defend her family, but died in the process. She is survived by her two children, who would carry on her legacy.

Vices & Personality flaws
Anaya was had a tendency to be rather impulsive and rash. Due to her past as well as the environment she raised her children in, she had an overprotective attitude that manifested towards ensuring they were capable of handling themselves. She often used extreme measures to teach them how to fight to even her husband's discomfort. While she was a selfless and heroic woman, her family's safety was her absolute priority and she'd risk even the lives of others to keep them safe. Anaya also had an infamous temper that would scare her children and one that she'd unleash upon her enemies.
