Shadow Woman

Shadow Woman is a very reserved and humble person. As a hero, she expects and seeks to attract no praise or recognition from others. She lurks in the shadows, seeking out those she can help. In her possession is a knowing sphere that aids her in finding those in need of saving. That, along with her ability to manipulate the shadows around her to either cloak her and others or even to become a solid structure with which to manipulate her surroundings enable her to attempt feats that would not be feasible with her physical body alone. She is not physically strong, but she has a strong sense of justice that fuels her need to help those around her.

My partner actually did the all of the photoshopping for this image, while I created the background story for our character. We both spent time finding images of dark alleys and women and came up with the background in the picture and an image of a young gymnast with a ball in her hand. My partner used the smudge tool for the majority of the effects, and created the shadowy "cloak" around our hero by taking colors from the background and transferring them.
