------------------------------------------------------------
Abilities / Drawbacks
Abilities : Eris is a reality bender, meaning she can change reality around her at will. Her limitations are though to places/people/things she's familiar with and can see. For example, she can change the layout of the office when people aren't looking, move doors and windows, make them disappear, alter other people she knows well enough, but only if they're in her line of sight. If she can't see it, she can't change it.
Her powers can cause all but not limited to:
- Nosebleeds (herself) if she uses too much energy. She has tissues in a container with her hero costume for this.
- Migraine with Aura (herself) due to overuse. The same container that contains tissues contains migraine medication for this. (As well as weed capsules let's be honest)
- a false sense of nostalgia in others.
------------------------------------------------------------
Backstory / Charges
Eris was born into a family of Reality benders in Traverse City, Michigan. Reality benders are a species of people that can warp reality to their will, at varying degrees of effectiveness. Eris was no different. Already being different from others around her, growing up came with complications for herself and her brother and two sisters. Their parents worked hard to instill in their children that it's important to work hard in life without using their powers at every whim.
Eris herself was the least popular of her siblings, and as such faced bullying and other complications getting along with her peers. Despite her parents guidance, in high school she chose to use her powers to at least make herself look as pretty as she possibly could. Given that body types and stand change constantly, she would just change whenever what she had was no longer trending. She even got herself a girlfriend after graduating and attending college.
Of course, things don't always work out the way they are planned. Eris's girlfriend during college became increasingly more and more aggressive with her as the relationship went on, everything coming to a head when Eris refused to move in with her as she was still living at home with her parents and commuting to classes daily. Because of this, her then-girlfriend broke into her house, SA'd her, and attempted to steal her antlers. The Saige family pressed charges.
Her mental health tanked after this, and she slowly realized something: all the changes aside, she couldn't remember what she looked like originally. Though she had been seeking help for her body dysmorphia, nothing seemed to have been helping. On multiple occasions, different department stores around her city began going up in flames, each fire being traced back to non-electric mirrors in various changing rooms. Eventually, east incident was traced back to Eris and she was charged with arson and sentenced to rehabilitate in a mental health center.
The fires were a mistake. Looking at herself during this point in her life just caused her so much distress that she lost control every time she tried to take originally innocent shopping trips.
After she was discharged, she thought that maybe a change of scenery would do her some good, so she moved to Los Angeles and began working at a beauty supply store and heard about the Z-Team via word of mouth. With guidance from her new therapist specializing in super-powered individuals, she applied to work at SDN originally as a customer support representative and got hired with the intent to work her way up and perhaps eventually become a hero herself, which happens! She takes the hero name Liminality, and starts using her powers to do a little better for the world.
As a side note, her therapist recommended she choose one form and stick to it, so that's why she looks the way she does today - as close to the way her genetics would make her as possible. Small things like her hair and eyes, she can change with little consequence, it's more about focusing on keeping her original body build and facial features.
Some days are better than others, mental health wise. Being a superhero, constantly surrounded by other people in skintight suits and being in one herself (though she intentionally had hers designed to be as least revealing as possible), it can be a lot, even on people who didn't originally have body issues. A large part of her arc is about eventual self-acceptance and body neutrality-eventual positivity.

Personality
Eris is weird, but insightful. She typically senses stimulation via heat sources, so she's been caught either with her hand in a fully melted candle on her desk OR her foot/leg directly against her space heater. When she's tired of people talking to her, she will act as weird as possible until they give up and leave her alone. At least until you get to know her. Outside of missions, she's relatively chill.
But she's insightful. Scarily so. She'll say things sometimes that people don't expect to come out of her.

Relationships with the rest of the Z-Team / Robert
Robert : She is a bit energetic and "much" for him, but they have a casual, playful friendship. Think Marcus the worm and Robert. Robert doesn't understand her entirely, but he doesn't have to.
"Robert... It's pissing me off."
"What's got the sentient confetti cake pissed off now?"
Blonde Blazer / Mandy : same as Robert, but they're less familiar with each other. Mandy is always pleasant to Eris, and Eris is always pleasant to Mandy.
Invisigal / Courtney : They WERE friends at the beginning of the series. That changed when Eris found out what Courtney did in the locker room and as someone who had the merits of using their powers responsibly and is ALSO an SA victim, Eris didn't take too kindly to that, especially because she considers Robert a friend.
Malevola : Basically replaced her friendship with Courtney. Not intentionally, they just started talking to each other more after Eris confronted Courtney about the situation. Eris successfully got Mal into Twin Peaks! :)
Flambae / Chad : Surprisingly, they get along pretty well. They work well together on missions also! He calls her confetti bitch though.
Waterboy / Herman : He's afraid of her. End of story. He watched her shove her hand into a candle warmer once and decided she was not to be spending time around. She's unaware of this though.
Prism / Alice : Basically the same as Chad! She's a bit... Too weird for Alice at times, but Eris will typically always gravitate to her and Chad if Robert isn't around.
Sonar / Victor : they don't know each other a whole hell of a lot, but when they do interact it's normally just showing each other memes, exhale-laughing, rinse and repeat.
Punch-Up / Colm : Almost the same as her and Sonar, they can partake in pleasant conversation but just don't see each other enough.
Coupe / Janelle : Eris is simply too much for her, and Eris respects that.
