Taylor Hebert

She and Taylor had a somewhat hostile relationship, largely as a result of Taylor having dated her boyfriend.

Taylor described herself as "jealous and hurt and bewildered"; she attempted to tell herself that she "was glad he’d moved on", but didn't quite believe it<ref name="25.6">Scarab 25.6</ref>. Cozen, for her part, accused Taylor of "want[ing] us gone" and "talking like you’re in charge" while they were on a mission against the Nine.<ref name="26.1">Sting 26.1</ref>

Nevertheless, Cozen described Taylor as "a legend", and betrayed "a trace of fear" when confronting her/<ref name="26.1"/>

Appearance & Equipment

Cozen was a young woman. She was "a rogue, in the dashing villain sense," wearing a mask around the eyes, and old-fashioned clothes with lace around her cleavage. Her jacket and slacks were festooned with belts, bearing utility pouches and knives. She also wore two gloves, one of requisite to show her allegiance The glove that wasn’t red had bladed fingertips, with a brace around it to keep these in place.<ref name="25.6"/>

Taylor described her cleavage as "ample", as well as describing Cozen's gaze as "a narrow, hard look." However, she admits to feelings of jealousy in the same section.<ref name="25.6"/>

Abilities and Powers

Cozen could create pocket dimensions much like Circus'. However she could place these 'caches' in fixed locations, rather than simply keeping them on her person. Further she was not necessarily limited to inanimate objects as she could also store people in them. Further caches placed within roughly 25 feet of each other could form a 'network' where objects could be taken from or an individual could be brought to after a delay.<ref>Private email conversation with wildbow, archived on Spacebattles</ref>. In practice this operated as a form of slow teleportation.<ref name="list"/>

Her abilities only operated ideally when she had total focus without worrying about her safety or other distractions.<ref name="list">Wildbow's Parahuman List</ref> This supposedly interfered with coercive attempts on her to use her power but prevented her from swiftly evacuating her teammates.
