HISTORY

Born during an earthquake, Maralah overcame poverty to earn advanced degrees in political science and geology. While working with the United Nations environmental team, she was forced to reveal her terrakinetic powers to protect colleagues from an attack. Reassigned to the First Guard, she initially resented her new duty but discovered that her public profile offered a powerful platform to advocate for marginalized Indigenous communities.

POWERS/ABILITIES

Tectonic can manipulate rock, soil, sand and lava, changing their shape and consistency. She can generate earthquakes, although large-scale events risk becoming uncontrollable. She can sense movement and vibrations through the ground, which is why she often remains barefoot.
