Personality

Strong willed and focused, Vista is confident in her abilites

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]}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. She thought the undersiders several times and left an impression on them.^{[citation needed]}

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>

She participated in the battle against leviathan hampering his movements and at one point bringing an entire building down on the creature.

Post-Leviathan

With Weld called in to lead to Brockton Bay wards vista was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt when it came to him serving as leader. He assigned Flechette to vista to get a second opinion on how she was acting. Meeting her she gave her a pep talk about life and told her it was okay to cry. Getting into a confrontion with Shadow Stalker she asked why the other hero was so disdainful of emotions and her attachment to Gallant, shadow stalker slammed her into the wall before leaving on patrol.<ref name="9.5">Sentinel 9.5</ref>

When Shadow Stalker returned supposedly undersiders with her Vista was suspicious.

When Director Piggot asked for volunteers to flight the Slaughterhouse Nine

When deployed against the killers she was able to keep Crawler at bay while other members were being retrived from Cache.

Post-Slaughterhouse Nine

During the attack by the new S-class threat vista was taken out early. Deliberately kidnapped before the protectorate was fully informed about the threat. The replicates the threat created harried the responding forces and prevented them for desposing of the threat for hours.

Eventually freed Vista was trapped in the ruins of coils base, digging through the rubble she met Shatterbird. Forced to defend herself she killed her fellow shaker.<ref name="MI">Missing Interlude</ref>

She was reunited with her team.

Post-Echidna

Reacted badly to Flechette's 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"">Venom 29.1</ref> 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"/>.
While Missy has been known to be a shortened version of Melissa, vistas civilian name is only ever given as Missy.

-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.

-Vista, Missy – The youngest member of the local team at thirteen years of age, Vista can bend, stretch, compress and distort non-living matter, effectively warping space.  Missy has been heavily affected by the recent, intense and tragic events to strike the city and the local superhero teams, feeling the loss of her first crush and teammate Gallant in particular.  Vista wears a teal and green costume with a short dress, leggings and panels of body armor, including a breastplate.  Has a green visor across her eyes.

-==Appearance & Equipment ==
-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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keloid 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 is a spatial warper. She has the ability to distort space (stretching, compressing, bending, etc.) by creating a series of events that modify the material. 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="29.1e">The horizon should have been straight, or at least a gentle curve to accomodate the planet’s natural curvature, but it was almost a wavy line.<br>“The fuck?” ([[Taylor]]) muttered.<br>“Vista,” Tattletale said, very matter-of-factly.

-As with many shakers time is a crutical element for her, the more time she has in a particuler area the greater amount she can shape. Her power and reflexes were too slow to deflect or redirect projectiles<ref name="R1">[https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/4ckkbl/vista_capabilities_if_going_allout/d1japxv 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 affected.
-Vista's power provided her with a mental map of the terrain<ref name="9.5">[[Sentinel 9.5]]</ref>.

She was able to target specific objects, which remained small and lightweight until her power wore off.<ref name="9.5"/><ref name ="IRC1"/>
