Getting back into the OC swing again with another new Mo-Bird. This time, I felt like doing a Power-type character, and nothing says Power like a big, bombshell bald eagle pro-wrestler gal piledriving guys until they explode!

Self-help guru, reporter, and TV personality Soar the Eagle is well known for his bombastic personality, penchant for the dramatic, and for being something of a self-serving hypocrite. But, once upon a time, he was a respected and highly successful professional wrestler: Soaring Starflight, the United Federation's undisputed, heavyweight champion. Sadly, like many of his peers, the fame went to Soar's head and he began resting on his laurels. His skill and strength slowly declined as he began focusing more on sponsorship deals and building a media presence over training and fighting, eventually resulting in several crushing losses. After losing his sponsors and a messy divorce with his wife, Soar was left with next to nothing. No wealth, no fame, and only a dwindling number of fans who still respected him, including his daughter, Skyla.
Growing up, Skyla's dad was her hero. She wanted to become a wrestler and be as strong and cool as he was, despite everyone else saying that she couldn't due to her gender, the most vocal being her stuffy, overbearing grandfather, Archibald (called Archie for short), who believes she'd be better off focusing on her education. Despite this, Skyla refused to give up and resolved to follow her dream, no matter what; resolve that only intensified after her father's fall from grace and abandonment by the rest of their family.
Since then, Skyla's life has been a frantic balancing act. By day, she's a shy wallflower attending Empire City Community College, working to get a degree in Political Science or Medicine like her grandpa wants. But at night, she's a spirited spitfire hitting the gym to build up her muscles or duking it out at the school's wrestling team or in one of Empire City's underground fight clubs, hoping that one day, someone will scout her out and give her the chance to take her father's place in the ring as Star the Eagle, the second Soaring Starflight.
Skyla is described as an "interesting contradiction" by those who know her. She juggles two different personas: the sweet, yet reserved student, which she uses at school and around her grandfather. And the boisterous, but playful fighter she acts like in the ring or in private. She also loves her father Soar very much and is one of the few people who will always stick up for him, even as she cringes in embarrassment at his self-serving, fame-hungry attitude. She cares about him because she knows he wasn't always like that, as he was the one who encouraged her to follow her dreams and be proud of who she is, and believes that the old him is still in there somewhere.
