Personality
Vista saw herself more as "Vista" than "Missy", and took extra shifts to escape the oppressive atmosphere at home generated by her parents' divorce<ref name="9.5"/>
She had a crush on Gallant.
She connected with Weld and Dr. Yamada and grew into becoming the heart of the team.[citation needed]
Despite being through major traumatic events Vista has always been able to bounce back, she is far more emotionally strong then anyone has given her credit for.
Appearance & Costume
Vista wears a costume with a skirt covered in wavy, swooping lines alternating between white and forest green, panels of body armor, and a green visor.
Over the course of her career as a hero, Missy gained a large collection of scars - small scars on her hands and legs, a dime-sized keloid scar on the top of one foot, and an inch-wide scar on the right side of her chest, among others<ref name="9.5"/>. During Slaughterhouse 9000, she was cut across the face by a Murder Rat, whose scars do not easily heal.
Later in the story, Missy sometimes carried a powerful Tinker weapon given to her by Kid Win, capable of disintegrating a whole vending machine,<ref name="26.3">Sting 26.3</ref> as well as people.
Abilities and Powers
Vista has the ability to distort space (stretching, compressing, bending, etc.) but the presence of living creatures interferes with her ability. In the absence of people, her power was potent enough to distort the horizon, and alter travel times on a continental scale<ref name="29.1">Venom 29.1</ref>.
Her power was too slow to deflect or redirect projectiles<ref name="R1">Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref>. However, she was able to reduce the distance Crawler's spit moved to a tenth it's usual distance,<ref name="14.6">Prey 14.6</ref> so projectiles passing through a prepared warped area may be effective.

She was able to target specific objects, which remained small and lightweight until her power wore off<ref name="9.5"/><ref name ="IRC1"/>.
History
Background
Vista had been a parahuman the longest of the Brockton Bay Wards as of the start of the story, though she remained the youngest. She had a scar on her chest where she was stabbed by a villain and sewed it up herself rather than risk looking like a baby in front of her team.
Story Start
Vista was deployed alongside her teammates once news arrived of the Undersiders robbing a bank. Shortly after she arrived, the Undersiders released some of their hostages before Grue flooded the street with darkness. She took a few steps backward to avoid being caught in it and then used her power to swell and widen the street.
After Aegis and Clockblocker had been taken down, Hellhound rode Judas towards Vista. Vista raised a short wall to trip Judas and send Hellhound tumbling off. Gallant hit Hellhound with his power and Hellhound sent Judas after him before going towards Vista. Vista stretched out the space between them and then pinched the space behind her and crossed a third of a block before returning the street to normal. Grue stumbled out of the darkness near Vista, screaming about bugs, and then collapsed. Thinking that he was Browbeat, Vista approached to help, and Grue struck her against the side of her head, knocking her down. Grue then covered them both in darkness. <ref name="3.10">Agitation 3.10</ref>
Later, Vista traveled to the PRT Building where her team was met by Director Piggot, who berated them on their poor showing. After the team, sans Kid Win, arrived in their quarters, Gallant asked Vista to grab two whiteboards. She grabbed the whiteboards, set them up, and blushed after Gallant thanked her.
She and Clockblocker were able to stop Bakuda's final bomb.<ref name ="IRC1">IRC comment by Wildbow, archived on SpaceBattles</ref>
Post-Leviathan
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
Post-Echidna
Reacted badly to flechettes defection.
Post-Timeskip
nearly fifteen now Vista was one of the most experienced capes in the wards, she was chosen to deploy against the slaughter house nine due to her versatility.
Golden Morning
Late in the story, on the near unpopulated Earth Bet, Vista extends her power over a huge track of land, from one end of the horizon to the other, as she is not limited by the number of people there.<ref name="29.1"/> She uses this in combination with another cape called Silk Road to provide transportation while Doormaker was unconscious.
She later joined the Wardens, and accompanied Miss Militia in her meeting with Hellhound.
Quotes
- When asked about what was up with the attitude of Brockton Bay capes. “Make it a Brockton Bay thing. We’re motherfuckers, we’re survivors.”<ref name="Te.4">Teneral e.4</ref>
Trivia
- Echidna made copies of Missy are given the name 'Scap', as in landscape, mirroring Missy's cape name of Vista which also deals with a view.
- It is not confirmed that Missy has green eyes, the only description of her eyes while unmasked refers to a artistic picture portrait with modified colors<ref name="9.5"/>.
