Powers:

Emotion Control:
Mrs. Kaminski has the ability to alter the feelings of others, changing their current emotions into a sudden, irrational bout of fear and dread. As such, this power is bound by the One Emotion Only limitation, but on the other hand, she has use of the Multiple Targets stunt, letting her whammy everybody within firing distance with fear.

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

(none)

Calling:

Guardian:
Mrs. Kaminski has apparently taken Dean and, recently, Mr. Lovejoy under her wing, and has assumed responsibility for their continued well being. As such, she will go well out of her way to protect them, keep them fed and sheltered, and otherwise help them keep out of trouble.

Costume:

Not a hero, and not a villain, Mrs. Kaminski doesn't wear a super-tight spandex suit into conflict. Instead, she only wears normal clothing while doing her day to day things, which in her one appearance included a long sleeved, pink shirt, brown trousers, and gray shoes.

Personality:

Mrs. Kaminski seems to be the brains of the outfit, the one sensible person out of her gaggle of nutcases. She tries to be reasonable in most situations, but knowns when violence is necessary. Also, she seems to have adopted fellow inmate Dean as a sort of wayward son...

Real Name: Mrs. Kaminski (first name unknown)
Occupation: drifter
Legal Status: American citizen with a likely criminal record
Marital Status: Single (?)
Alias(es), if any: none
Group Affiliation: none

Height: 5' 7"
Hair: black
Eyes: brown
Weight: 101 lbs.
Other Distinguishing Characteristics: Mrs. Kaminsk appears to be tired most of the time, perhaps from not sleeping well - or maybe because she's on the run. She may be older, though - not necessarily exhausted in nature.

Story:

Not much is known about Mrs. Kaminski's origins, other than that she has some unidentified mental problems. She was institutionalized in a mental hospital for some time, a period in which she developed startling mental abilities, namely the power to make others quake with overwhelming fear and dread. These powers are, of course, a result of the so-called White Event.

In any event, she used her empathic abilities to escape her mental hospital alongside another empath, who she knows as Dean, because it was apparently a good idea at the time. After they broke out, the duo of mentally unbalanced paranormals made their way around the surrounding area, foraging for food and shelter, usually illegally so, at which point they encountered Mr. Lovejoy.

Though this man was sane before he encountered Mrs. Kaminski and her erstwhile traveling partner, he was forever changed after extensive exposure to Dean's rage powers, and transformed into an animalistic beastie bent on destruction. Of course, this extended state of agitation drew forth Lovejoy's own paranormal powers, and as such, Kaminski decided to keep him around.

This was because, in sharp contrast to her and Dean's powers, his were primarily physical in nature. Mr. Lovejoy indeed came in handy after Ken Connell discovered their presence near his apartment, and tried to take all three of 'em to get professional help. Lovejoy's physical power enhanced by Dean's rage, alongside her own powers focused against Ken, managed to take him down.

Instead of beating him into a pulp while he was down, Mrs. Kaminski simply collected her two crazy pals and, after piling them into her car, took off for parts unknown. As they haven't been seen since, it is likely that these nutcases haven't encountered any other super heroes, so they are probably wandering the deserted byways of the United States to this very day...
