Spirit - character concept WIP

1:26 AM EST

I'd say more of a re-character concept. The original "Spirit" was created months ago and displayed a blonde girl using her control over water, to create a water spirit version of her. 

Somehow, it didn't seem quite right in how I portrayed her, so this version is a new Spirit and shows her more cheerful side, before her darker side comes out when dealing with enemies, such as her "evil" siblings.Her darker side comes from her worry over the many bad possibilities her powers allow her to do, which come into light when her brother took control over her body and powers. 

I might as well explain what I mean, for character back story...


Picture
Spirit's back story - in progress
Her sister and her barely survived a fire breakout in their home. (I haven't figured out if the parents survived or not.) Their much older brother was away, let's say.... work?
Somehow (haven't figured out how yet), Kathy McClain (temp. name for identity of "Spirit") and her younger sister, Sasha McClain survived but how they survived caused a break in their relations. Kathy, used her control over water to escape the fire but left her sister behind. As a result, her sister breathed in too much smoke and thought to have died. However, something happened genetically for Sasha and she was able to alter her physical body into a smoke/gas form, which allowed her survival. But because of this betrayal, Sasha has vowed to bring Kathy down. 
Her brother on the other hand, was unaware of Sasha's survival and accidentally found out Kathy's control over water and its similar chemical states (gas/air, liquid/water, solid/ice). Unfortunately, the brother wasn't really a "good guy" and developed weapons and tech for people who used them for the wrong cause. Kathy found this out the hard way when the large group (good guys) she worked with mentioned her brother's name. Developing tech to take control over Kathy and her powers was easy for the brother, so he used her powers to put the whole world at ransom. He found out Kathy had a very large amount of control over her powers and the strength and deeds she could perform such as causing tsunamis and causing people to suffer through intense heat and humidity or worse, droughts. Devin, the brother, started to wonder why she didn't tap into this sooner or even bothered working with the good guys when she could use her powers to get whatever she wanted. Fighting his control, Kathy found out where her brother was hiding and the organization and her arrested Devin and removed the control chip he had implanted in her during her first visit to his "office".
