ABOUT EARTH-119: Earth-119 is similar to Earth-616, except it has its own version of the Avengers and the Young Avengers, who all descend from different planets.

PERSONALITY: Zara Hadid is a creative, loyal, and emotional individual. Despite sometimes wearing her heart on her sleeve, she is often stoic and difficult to read, which she occasionally uses to her advantage, especially during a physical fight. Though she has been trained to have control over her body and mind, her emotions tend to get the best of her. This typically leads to her being taken advantage of, allowing herself to be dragged into situations that she is not meant to be involved in, leaving herself vulnerable in dire situations, or the escalation of conflict on her part.
Her strong use of words and occasional sass are helpful sometimes, but most of the time they get her into trouble. She has a tendency to be gullible due to her intense emotions and sometimes sheltered life, but she is getting better at protecting herself and learning how to read people better. She is very protective of people whom she cares about and will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Though she can sometimes be closed off, she is usually open to new relationships, wants to help people, and has a generally happy demeanor. Her core personality traits are her determination, her loyalty to her loved ones, and her creativity. Though Zara is still learning how to balance her mind and emotions, she is very intelligent and well-read.
Her quick-thinking and keen senses serve as helpful traits in many situations. Though she is overly emotional, stubborn, and often indecisive, she is also clever, learns from her mistakes, and has strong leadership skills. She is a loyal friend with a gift for words and prose. She is also a dreamer and can sometimes find herself too caught up in fiction while letting her real life get out of hand. However, she has learned how to use her voice and her talent for prose to make her voice heard and help others.
Her powers sometimes make it difficult for her to control herself, but she is getting much better at dealing with that and has a well-balanced life. Zara is slightly unstable after what she has been through and has trust issues after being deceived many times, but her heart and faith in humanity are still strong. She goes by and is widely known as Aqua Spindler.CHARACTER ARC: Zara Hadid, also known as Aqua Spindler, was bitten by a water spider at the beach when she was nineteen years old. This changed her life forever. The water spider that bit her was a radioactive one that had gotten loose from an organic chemistry company called Magitorio. This bite gave her radioactive spider powers, which she later discovered when she accidentally shot a water web at someone who was picking on her brother when she was trying to defend him. She accidentally broke the water fountain at the same time, so it looked like it was because of the fountain, but she knew that she had powers.
She kept her powers a secret, dubbed herself Aqua Spindler, and learned how to control them on her own, until she met a Journalism intern named Maher Jameel "MJ" Waseeb, a young man who seemed to know a lot about Aqua Spindler. He eventually discovered her identity and they became partners. They also fell in love. He asked her parents' permission to marry her, but when they said yes, Zara declined the proposal, afraid that she would be putting MJ's life in danger. She eventually caved when she realized that she couldn't stay away from him. Unfortunately, after they got engaged, he was used as bait in a battle between Zara and one of her enemies, and he fell to his death. Zara never recovered from this.NORMAL APPEARANCE: Art by noshipixer on Pinterest

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION (narrated by Zara herself): I'm Zara Hadid. Before you ask, no. I am not related to the famous Hadid family. I'm just a regular girl who is majoring in English, writing her own original novel, and oh by the way, being a superhero.
I was bitten by a radioactive water spider at the beach and my life changed forever. I've had my powers for a year now, and in that year, I have become a local hero. I live in Florida with my mother, father, and younger brother. The Sunshine State is a nice place to live if I wanna go to Disney World without a long trip, but the hot weather makes it difficult to fast during Ramadan, especially when my dad's Jordanian food is so delicious.
I managed to balance my hero life very well with my regular life. Until fate took over. One of my close friends, Norma Osborne, became my enemy. She was the reason for the death of my best friend and love of my life. Being a superhero really isn't all that it's cracked up to be. I wish that I wasn't so alone, but I'm the only one with my powers. Or so I thought. I am Aqua Spindler."I'll never understand why people call it the 'Sahara Desert'. 'Sahara' means 'Desert'. Saying 'Sahara Desert' is like saying, 'Desert Desert', which makes no sense."
- Zara Zaher/Aqua Spindler
