Background

Born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Haya Hossain moved to New Zealand as a young woman, already displaying an extraordinary gift for telepathy. As she developed her powers, Haya discovered she had not only the ability to read minds but also to control them to a significant extent. Taking the hero name Empress, she became renowned for her mastery of mental manipulation, earning her a reputation as both a protector and a leader.

Haya's powers extend beyond simple mind-reading—she can implant suggestions, calm emotions, and even create mental links between individuals, allowing her to communicate telepathically over vast distances. As her abilities grew, Empress became a respected figure in both the hero community and the diplomatic world, often acting as a mediator in high-stakes negotiations. She is known for her regal demeanor, intelligence, and ability to command attention without raising her voice.

Though her niece, Leila Hossain, has inherited telepathic abilities, Haya is careful not to impose her expectations on her. Instead, she offers guidance when needed, serving as a mentor and occasional protector.
