Experience Unspent: 9

Origin (cont.): Katharine's self-discipline and determination to succeed helped her develop the skills needed to succeed as a superhero. As teammates left and newcomers came along, Ribbon became one of the older members of the team (in experience, not in years). In time, her personal drive and dedication led to her becoming team leader, though the position held little authority over the team.

She continued to study at University, getting good grades, and started dating Querl Dox, the green-skinned alien who used the codename Braniac. She also became the drummer in Jett and Red Tiger's band. When the Guardians relocated to a new base at Southbank, Katharine moved in with Querl and became a full-time superhero. She graduated from University with her Bachelor's degree at the end of 1993, and was ready to go on to new challenges - possibly even exploring the galaxy with Querl.

Personality: Katharine has learned a great deal about superheroing, and grown much more confident than she was three years earlier. She has a strong perfectionist streak in her which is often at odds with the laissez-faire attitudes of some of her teammates. For this reason, she finds the responsibilities of team leadership especially frustrating (and sometimes dispiriting). She is deeply in love with Querl, and depends on him for emotional support and encouragement when she's down.

Powers/Tactics: Katharine has developed new applications of her stretching ability, but still prefers to hang back in encounters and support her teammates. She has a small set of standard equipment designed by Braniac, including a skin-tight costume with programmable (simple) colours. Katharine has learned some additional martial arts so that she can fight effectively without using her powers.

Appearance: Ribbon wears a single-piece skintight costume and sunglasses. The costume can be programmed to change to the following colours by inserting the appropriate data chip in the belt buckle: dark blue, emerald green, black, white, purple, jungle camoflage, tiger-stripe camoflage, mud brown, reflective silver, light blue. Other colours can be added by Braniac with a little time and the right equipment. She has wavy brown hair that reaches halfway down her back and blue eyes, is 5'9" tall and weighs around 64kg (140lb).
