Resonant
Played by Andy
Gemma Trayvis, the hero known as Resonant, is not from this world, quite literally. When she was young, she lived on Leifandi, a world parallel to Earth Prime, until the day she slipped through a tear in the fabric of space and found herself alone in Freedom City. Unable to return home, as the tear sealed behind her, she was helped by the heroes to get on her feet, and eventually was enrolld in Claremont Academy, learning more about Earth Prime and the heroes that inhabit it. While there, she became good friends with Seven, as the two could share their triumphs with their magical abilities together, as well as Death Gate (who would later become Mortis). Still unsure of her place in the world and not completely confident in her abilities, she wouldn’t let Seven go to face Una by herself, and joined her friends in a rebuilt Liberty League to stop her. Unfortunately, that battle ended in a pyrrhic victory, as while they managed to stop Una from taking over Earth Prime, it came at the cost of losing Seven.
For Gemma, losing her first and best friend shook her to her core. Shorty after graduating from Claremont, she gave up the hero life, instead choosing to focus on taking care of the people around her. She’d seen enough about how easy it was for the heroes to forget who they were fighting for, and decided to do what she could to rectify that situation. She opened her own book store, Phoenix Books, which also housed her massage and Reiki business. While there, she worked on perfecting her gem magic, being able to tap into three more gems and the energy they contained. In doing so, she was able to help set up wards and other security measures within her neighborhood, as another layer of security for the people she lived nearest.
After 8 years of not seeing her friends, a sudden message from Seven from the beyond brought her back into the fold of her fellow heroes. Hesitant at first, Gemma soon stepped fully back into her role as Resonant once again, joining Centuria, Overdrive, Mortis and eventally Bowman as the newly formed Freedom League Dark. Now her goal is to help the one friend she couldn’t all those years ago, and make up for the time she lost with those she cares about.
