Powers: Deann can become invisible and intangible by stepping through the reflecting surface of a mirror, and return to normal by stepping 'out' of that mirror from the back. While in her 'behind the mirror' state, she can travel instantly between pairs of mirrored surfaces by stepping into one and out the other, provided she knows the location of both mirrors. Window panes and other reflecting surfaces work fine as entrance and exit points for this travel. While in the mirror state, she is outlined by a very pale blue glow, which is so pale it is only visible in pitch blackness. By concentrating, she is able to materialize and then dematerialize parts of her body, or to become visible as a totally pale gray ghost. These two processes are very painful, though they become easier each time she utilizes them. In the mirror state she can see, talk, and hear normally, and she is does not pass through the ground, or stairs, or the floor of an elevator, or the rungs of a ladder, unless she specifically decides to. She can carry small items into the mirror state and make them intangible, if they can fit inside her Gossamer Garment, and then she can handle these items normally in the mirror state - but if she stops touching one of these intangible items it instantly becomes solid and she can't touch it again.
Source of Powers: As mirror girl, Deann wears the mystical Gossamer Garment, a gift she was given by Looba, the High Lama from Temple Looba in Tibet, after she prevented an assassination attempt on his life. The Gossamer Garment grants her a number of mystical powers (some yet unknown!) as long as she is using it in a 'good cause'. It has been demonstrated that the Gossamer Garment will definitely NOT work when used for evil - and perhaps it will even bring death to the wearer when used in such a cause.
Knowledge and skills: she has a variety of skills she picked up as a stunt girl. Among these are brawling, acrobatics, small arms, and some fencing. She has worked in a number of jobs at the Adler Academy before becoming Headmistress (maintenance, teaching young women, administration, etc).
Weapons and Gadgets:
History: Deann's parents worked in Hollywood, so she got into the movies at a young age as a stunt girl. While her production company was in Tibet in the early 30s filing 'Last Horizon', one of the extras got drunk and aimed a rifle at Looba, the High Lama of Temple Looba. Deann knocked him down and the shot went wild, and Looba gifted her with the Gossamer Garment as a reward. Shortly after returning to the States, a rich uncle died and left her enough money to follow her dream to educate young women, and she purchased an Academy near New York City, and began working her way from bottom to top. When the prior Headmistress retired, Deann assumed the role and changed the name of the Academy. After several years, she finally donned the Gossamer Garment and began her career as Mirror Girl. She has since established a reputation for helping young women in distressful situations, particular those less privileged, and has become know as 'the patron saint of troubled women'.
