Editing Menja (section)

==History==
===Background===
Raised by [[Heith]], [[Kaiser]]'s first wife.<ref name="18.y e1">“Hmm.”  Justin watched more PRT vans arrive.  They were spreading out, clearly anticipating Kayden’s artillery-level attacks, and they had the damn foam-bead nets they used for dealing with fliers.  “Theo, who’s your mom?”<br><br>“Heith.”<br><br>Justin sighed.  Heith was Fenja and Menja’s cousin and guardian, Kaiser’s first wife, killed in a turf war with the Teeth, back in the old days of Brockton Bay.  ''She has powers after all''.<br><br>Somehow, all of this would be easier if he could believe that Theo was illegitimate. - [[Interlude 18.y]]</ref>

=== Story Start===
She accompanied Kaiser to the meeting at [[Somer's Rock]].<ref name="5.1"/>

===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Post-Endbringer and the death of her sister and [[Kaiser]], she joined the [[Chosen]].<ref name="11e">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/interlude-11e/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11e]]</ref><ref name="9.6"/>

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Took command of the [[Chosen]] following Hookwolf's beguilement into the [[Nine]].<ref name="Cast2">'''Menja'''– Current leader of the group.  Menja lost her twin sister in the Endbringer attack, and now uses Fenja’s shield to complement her own favored spear.  Menja has the ability to grow to great heights while simultaneously reducing the severity of incoming damage by a proportionate amount.  Menja is a tall blonde who styles herself after a norse valkyrie, with ornate armor marked with wings, covering about as much skin as it reveals. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (in depth)]</ref>

Menja was eventually forced to leave Brockton Bay, with the rest of the Chosen, due to pressure from outside Villain groups.<ref name="16.5">[[Monarch 16.5]]</ref>

She relocated her team to [[Boston]], recruiting Niflheim and Muspelheim along the way, there they interfered with the plans of Accord to such an extent that the arch villain was forced to seek [[Blasto|outside help]].<ref name="I19x">[[Interlude 19.x]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Collected by [[Khepri]] to use against [[Scion]].<ref>I put targets in front of him, and he took the bait.<br><br>A front line of the hardiest capes, decoys and projections to draw him in.  Then, while he was closer, I was free to move in the heavy hitters who ''weren’t'' upwardly mobile.<br><br>Lung, hulking out even before his power kicked in.  Menja, Chevalier.  A dozen capes I didn’t know. - [[Speck 30.5]]</ref> Given a formula to temporarily increase her size and strength.<ref>The tougher capes I had fell into two categories.  There were ones who could take the fight to Scion, like Alexandria or the late Ash Beast, and there were ones who couldn’t, like Lung, Menja and Chevalier.<br><br>There was a Vietnamese cape with a tinker ability who I hadn’t assigned to the tinker group.  He was like Lab Rat, but simpler in application.  Formulas to boost strength and size, turning regular people into hulking monsters.<br><br>I put him to work, dosing capes who weren’t reliant on armor or anything of the sort.  I left Chevalier alone, and left the Crawler-Breed hybrid be, but I dosed Lung and Menja. - [[Speck 30.5]]</ref>
