	~~She tends to get exasperated and let off Japanese expletives ''"when nerds get anal"'' about the spelling.~~

	~~=== Lead ===~~
	Although she does not understand why, lead is Wyrmhole's kryptonite. She is unable to use her powers to create any kind of Wyrmholes (personal, peephole or portals) into or out of an area completely enclosed by lead (although she can if there is an opening of some kind - but not accurately) and if placed in lead bindings it completely strips her of her powers. Sophie has theorised that something about the chemical composition of lead must interfere with the physics of how Wyrmhole's powers operate.

			[[The White Witch (Emerald City Knights)\|The White Witch]] has never managed to understand the strange logic behind either argument, although it apparently makes perfect sense to Wyrmhole and she tends to get exasperated and let off Japanese expletives ''"when people get anal"'' about the spelling.

	* Nanosuit: Wyrmhole's superhero outfit can be retracted into a neck choker or expanded as desired and flows over her like a second skin. The suit provides life support capabilities, filtering out harmful contaminants in the air such as smoke and gas, primarily intended to aid Wyrmhole when she is in hazardous environments such as entering areas in fire to rescue people, without being affected by smoke damage to herself. Although the suit can filter and pull oxygen out of acrid environments, even being able to pull oxygen when underwater, it cannot operate in a vacuum as it essentially filters and/or recycles, but cannot work in absence of air. Whilst the hood/mask is on, it also provides limited protection from sensory effects such as blinding lights or deafening sounds, and allows her to see in low-light conditions or total darkness. In aquatic environments, nanobots in the legs reconfigure into swimfins and tiny turbines that allow for easy movement underwater. The external colours of the suit can be reconfigured if needed, allowing the suit to be made in white (or to some people's chagrin, rainbow-coloured during Pride Month) but for stealth missions can be put into an active camo mode that imitates the surroundings, allowing her to blend into shadows and surroundings easier and harder to spot. She refers to this as "Predator mode". Finally, the suit contains an in-built comm system for her to be able to be in contact with the Sentinels via the Emerald Tower base, and this functionality works even when it is collapsed into the neck choker. This radio comm has a range of about a mile but taps into local GSM/5G networks and so effectively provides coverage anywhere there is mobile signal.		* Nanosuit: Wyrmhole's superhero outfit can be retracted into a neck choker or expanded as desired and flows over her like a second skin.

	* Collapsible Bo Staff		* Collapsible Bo Staff: in collapsed form the staff appears like a police baton in size and functionality, but can be expanded to the size of a bo staff in an instant (or collapsed again). It is police-grade toughness but otherwise is an unremarkable weapon.
	* DSLR Camera		* Camera: Stephanie has a Canon EOS Rebel T6s DSLR Camera, a high-school graduation gift from her mother.

	Stephanie is often described as "cute" ~~but rarely more~~. At 5'3" she is quite petite and has a slender frame - although being a fan of sports is quite fit. Due to cross-cultural bleed she tends to dress in a mix of Japanese and American styles. She favours the Harajuku punk Gothic style popular in Japan amongst teens, but as that tends to get her attention in the USA, has been ~~recently trying to tone~~ it down and ~~dress~~ "a little more ~~American~~-like" but the influence is still there. As such she usually favours t-shirts (usually geeky or Harajuku style) or with jeans, leggings or skirts. Sometimes she wears casual short dresses (often geeky ones, such as ~~her [http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v2/1891168644_1/New-Fashion-Summer-font-b-Dress-b-font-2014-Black-Milk-font-b-Dress-b~~-~~font.jpg Star Wars~~ dresses]). When relaxing she favours an oversized jumper or sweater and shorts (optional).

At 5'3" she is quite petite and has a slender frame - although being a fan and active participant of sports and martial arts is quite fit. Due to cross-cultural bleed she tends to dress in a mix of Japanese and American styles. She favours the Harajuku punk Gothic style popular in Japan amongst teens, and other Japanese fashion trends, but as that tends to get her negative attention in the USA, has been toning it down and dressing "a little more western-like" but the influence is still there. As such she usually favours t-shirts (usually geeky or Harajuku style) or with jeans, leggings or skirts. Sometimes she wears casual short dresses (often geeky ones, such as anime-themed dresses). When relaxing she favours an oversized jumper or sweater and shorts (optional). Stephanie's eyes and hazel, gearing more towards a light brown and her chestnut-brown hair is normally kept loose and cropped to shoulder-length in a bixie-like hairstyle, though occasionally she styles it differently (usually for special occasions). She is inconsistent in how she cares for and frequency of haircuts, so they can alternate from short bixies to fairly long and semi-straight, but she usually loses patience with her hair when it starts getting too long (ie about shoulder-length) and cuts it short again. She speaks with a notable British accent, laced with Japanese slang.

	She looks a little more imposing in her form-fitting, superhero suit. It is coloured black with red styling and has a rec hood with black face mask to help protect her identity. [[Sophie Anderson (Emerald City Knights)\|Sophie Anderson]] designed it for her based on Stephanie's interests, so the suit resembles a cross between a ninja outfit and the style from the Assassin's Creed computer games~~, with a hint of punk Gothic styling - and in Stephanie's favourite colours~~. It appears to be made out of leather and other fabrics, ~~but~~ is ~~actually~~ made ~~from graphene weave making it light, flexible and comparatively stronger than kevlar~~. Whilst Stephanie relies on her "shunting weave" or blind teleporting to avoid danger, the ~~costume~~ offers some protection if she were to be caught unaware. Perhaps more importantly, the suit is designed not only to protect but be comfortable and breathable over long periods - a lesson hard-learnt by Wyrmhole when her previous self-made full-body biker's leather suit nearly killed her from exhaustion and dehydration whilst fighting for extended periods in ~~California's~~ hot summer sun.		She looks a little more imposing in her form-fitting, superhero suit. It is coloured black with red styling and has a rec hood with black face mask to help protect her identity. Although her first "suit" was self-made from biker leather clothing, since the formation of the Sentinels and with MarsTech backing, [[Sophie Anderson (Emerald City Knights)\|Sophie Anderson]] designed a nanotech suits for her based on Stephanie's interests, so the suit resembles a cross between a ninja outfit and the style from the Assassin's Creed computer games. Although it appears to casual observers to be made out of leather and other fabrics, it is fully made of various types of nanobots that can be contracted into a neck choker or brought out at will like a second skin. Whilst Stephanie relies on her "shunting weave" or blind teleporting to avoid danger, the nanosuit is surprisingly tough and offers some protection if she were to be caught unaware. Perhaps more importantly, the suit is designed not only to protect but be comfortable and breathable over long periods - a lesson hard-learnt by Wyrmhole when her previous self-made full-body biker's leather suit nearly killed her from exhaustion and dehydration whilst fighting for extended periods in the hot summer sun. This new suit also offers life support and sensor capabilities (see equipment).

	Things did not initially go well as few people took much notice of "the weird, confused brit-kid who thinks she's Japanese" and found that americans were not as innately selfless and respectful as japanese people.

A string of broken relationships from bishounen who were nice to her until they'd gotten their fun (or more accurately, realised they weren't going to get the fun they wanted) and 'friends' that turned out to be vicious, manipulative, back-stabbing harpies left her feeling dejected and beginning to isolate herself further from society.

	Soon after, Stephanie began ~~coming~~ out alongside Turbine as a superhero duo, along with the support of Bonnet Blanc, a hacker that would provide support. ~~Their~~ exploits came to the attention of Maximilian Mars of MarsTech who ended up financing the formation of a formal superhero group that became known as The Sentinels, of which ~~Turbine, Wyrmhole, Princess and Aquamarine~~ were the founding members, supervised by Bonnet Blanc who became formally employed by MarsTech as the chief engineer and project liaison with MarsTech. ~~Soon after, the~~ Sentinels ~~expanded to include various other local heroes, and~~ established working relations with City Hall and local law enforcement.

Soon after, Stephanie began going out alongside Turbine as a superhero duo, along with the support of Bonnet Blanc, a hacker that would provide support. They frequently assisted or were aided by the superheroes Princess and Ultramarine. The working group was often referred to (mostly by Stephanie) as the Emerald City Knights (or "ECK" for short, which Stephanie liked as it sounded like a K-pop group name).

			ECKs exploits came to the attention of Maximilian Mars of MarsTech who ended up financing the formation of a formal superhero group that became known as The Sentinels, of which the Emerald City Knights were the founding members, expanded to include various other local heroes, and were supervised by Bonnet Blanc who became formally employed (under her civilian name of Sophie Anderson) by MarsTech as the chief engineer and project lead and liaison with MarsTech. The Sentinels also established working relations with City Hall and local law enforcement to better coordinate their efforts, not step on the toes of local authorities, and be best directed where needed most. Mars paid for their Emerald Tower base (which Stephanie refairs to as "the lair") and equipment, providing manufacturing capabilities and access to MarTech equipment and research that was cutting edge.

	Stephanie prospered in this group, becoming more accomplished and capable as a superhero and becoming like a family with several of the members - in particular, she made one good friend in the form of Princess, who's real identity was Jessica Prentiss, a sweet, mousy girl who was also into anime and similar pursuits. The two have bonded both on and off the battlefield, eventually moving in together into a shared University Dorm as both are ECU students. Stephanie eventually found other like-minded people in some of ECU's anime and geek student clubs and societies, but Jessica remains her undisputed best friend.

[[File:Wyrmhole_3.jpg\|350px\|thumb\|left\|Stephanie in her Japanese school uniform during her high school senior year]]When Stephanie was only six, her mother moved to Japan to work as a Language Teacher at the Yokohama International School, where Stephanie was inducted into the Elementary program until she eventually graduated High School with her International Baccalaureate Diploma. Stephanie therefore has spent most of her life in Japan and as such her sense of culture, fashion and interests reflect Japanese culture more than that of her birthplace. She is bilingual in Japanese (and fluent in Korean, which she also learnt at school), often dresses in Japanese fashion styles, enjoys japanese pop culture and martial arts - she started learning Okinawan Gōjū-ryū Karate during Elementary school. Oddly, she also discovered a passion for baseball (the national sport) and is a big fan of K-Pop and Korean tv, due in part to a childhood school friend from Korea who was in the same Elementary program as her.

	Stephanie learnt photography ~~during~~ art lessons in school, ~~and~~ joined the photography club. ~~She wondered whether~~ to ~~pursue photography or sports studies as a career~~, ~~but in~~ the ~~end~~ decided to pursue ~~photography~~. ~~She came~~ to America to study ~~digital arts~~ at Emerald City University ("I liked the program").

Stephanie found herself enjoying art (no surprise as she loved anime, which was part of the curriculum) and learnt photography as part of her art lessons in middle school, where she joined the photography club. Although she initially joined to gain extra credit, she loved it from the start and ultimately decided to pursue it as a career. Wanting to travel, went to America to study Digital Media Arts at Emerald City University ("I liked the program").

	Born in ~~London~~ (England) to Alicia Jones, a university student, Stephanie knows little of her father except that he was Greek and "a total dick who dated mum during Uni, then fled the country when he found out he got her knocked up". Alicia became pregnant during her 2nd year of university, giving birth to Stephanie (named after Alicia's grandmother, with who Alicia had been close before her death earlier that year) during the first academic trimester of her final year. Stephanie really doesn't care about the lack of a father in her life - stating that her mother was all she ever needed. Stephanie has often praised her mother's strength "she raised me with a milk bottle in one hand and exam papers in the other" as encouragement to handle and make the most out of whatever life throws at you. The two are very close to this day.

	[[File:Wyrmhole_3.jpg\|350px\|thumb\|left\|Stephanie in her Japanese school uniform during her high school senior year]]When Stephanie was only six, her mother moved to Japan to work as an Assistant Language Teacher, teaching the english language to Japanese high-school students. Stephanie therefore has spent most of her life living in Japan and as such her sense of culture, fashion and interests better reflect Japanese culture than of her birthplace. She is bilingual in Japanese (although has never quite shaken her "brummie accent"), often dresses in Harajuku punk gothic style, enjoys japanese pop culture and martial arts - she learnt Judo and Karate as part of her school's curriculum and discovered a passion for baseball (the national sport). As such she has always been quite fit and athletic.

	Stephanie is a genuinely kind-hearted person and does what she does out of a genuine desire to help others in need. ~~All~~-too-often~~, she doesn~~'t take the reality of how dangerous being a superhero is seriously, thinking it's very cool and fun being a hero - and the harsh reality can ~~sometimes~~ be ~~a downer~~.		Stephanie is a genuinely kind-hearted person and does what she does out of a genuine desire to help others in need. At the beginning, she all-too-often didn't take the reality of how dangerous being a superhero is seriously, thinking it was very cool and fun being a hero - and the harsh reality was a downer. She has since matured, and whilst still thinking it's cool, admits it can be terrifying, dangerous, and the regret and guilt that comes with the job when you fail to save people in need, can be crushing. But despite it all she still does it all - because it's the right thing to do.
