Personality

Golem noted that Hoyden lived with layers of defenses around herself - bravado, sarcasm, aggression, and so on. He suspect that "there were very few things that really got to the heart of Hoyden. When they did, they hurt." <ref name="26a">Interlude 26a</ref>

Appearance

Hoyden's theme was one that looked like a desperado. Her mask was a kerchief with eye-holes that covered her face, allowing for her blond curls to tumble from behind. Her costume were what appeared to be black chain-mail, but designed to look like a jacket and jeans.<ref name="23.1">"Worm" Web Serial, Drone 23.1</ref>

Abilities and Powers

This is in combination with a resistance to damage from other powers, one that becomes better the further the distance from her target.

Hoyden also has basic strength and durability increases, classifying her as a brute.<ref name="23.1"/>

Golden Morning

As Part of Khepri's swarm she fought against Zion hand to hand able to resist the creatures defensive measures. She was frightened the entire time however.<ref name="30.5">I could feel the fear of the people I was sending into the fray. Hoyden’s fear was like the scared-little-girl fear I’d experienced while concussed, wracked with pain and helpless at Bakuda’s feet.

But she could hit Scion, and I needed people who could hit him. I needed every iota of strength I could squeeze out of these capes.</ref>
