==Early Life==
==Biography==
Mara was born on {{Redact|YYYYMMDD}}, in Neutropolis, Praetoria. Her parents, Keiji and Amelia, separated when Keiji uncovered his wife's infidelity. Amelia, a top dog of Powers Division, involved herself in an affair with several men. One of them was a resistance spy who was using her to steal intel and bypass security measures. Heartbroken, Keiji left Amelia to rot in jail and disowned his daughter. He abandoned Mara when she was ten, even though a DNA test confirmed Mara as her daughter.
Mara Nishimura was born on {{Redact|YYYYMMDD}}, in Neutropolis. She was the only child of Keiji and Amelia. She grew up in an upper-class family. Her father owned and ran a factory; her mother was a Powers Division. She got her mother's powers, which assured her a spot in the Division.


Following her mother's footsteps, Mara joined the Powers Division. Unlike her mother, she didn't aim for the top. Mara genuinely cares about her colleagues and respects her seniors, including her mother's detractors. She still had to endure too many hardships, but she prevailed. Her charm afforded her many circles of friends, despite her checkered past. Within a year or so, Mara had built networks of friends and colleagues.
Mara's brief stint in the Division was not great. She was brave but naive. Her bravery couldn't make up for her lack of skill. After too many defeats, her reputation took a hit. She changed her tactics by working with a few close friends, hoping their fame would carry her through. It didn't. Her mother's arrest later that year ended any hope of a comeback.


==Personality==
Months later, the PPD began recruiting Supers to fill their ranks. They wanted loyal officers, not mavericks like the Top Dogs. A friend of Amelia's encouraged Mara to join the PPD. She applied and got accepted into the academy. Despite the hardships, she graduated with honors.
The young officer relied on her strength and skills to succeed in her tasks. Mara talked a lot whenever her friends are around. She had many circles providing her with news and gossips in Praetoria. This knowledge helped Mara in shaping her plan. If it did not do, she improvised a new one. Then again, Mara was also a psychic. She had her mother's gene. One of her abilities was well known: Mara could control how people perceive the flow of time. The rest of them were subtler; she could stop anyone from probing her mind, and her words compelled people to obey. However, it's important to note that Mara had spent years asking the judge to give her mother leniency, but her words did not sway the judge.  


==Cooperating with the PPD==
Mara's departure from the Division to the PPD puzzled many people. It should be the other way around. Like Warrant, for example. It also confused Mara, too. Her record with the Division and her mother's arrest should have disqualified her. As she would later say, it was the weirdest moment of her life.


Mara's first task was to curb the resistance activity in her area. The movement had splintered into two different camps. One of them was The Wardens. Mara regarded them as a more reasonable and better target to persuade. At least, both Mara and The Wardens highly valued Praetoria's safety. She would later use The Wardens for her ends once Mara had influenced them.
Mara's new role was less glamorous than her last in the Division. The PPD assigned her to Precinct 4. Working as part of a team, she dealt with rogue Supers under a set of rules. Often, she only provided support, leaving the lion's share to the Division; when she had to take down a Super, she had to do it discreetly.


Mara picked a few trusted fellows as her inner circle. She proposed to infiltrate the resistance to gain enough influence. Once they had control, they would subvert The Wardens for their gain. Each member used a fake name to protect their safety. Mara took Athanasia as her call sign. Mara, as the leader, would secure funding for her teams and directed the cells. Members from PPD would pull a few strings to ensure smooth operations. The rest of the team from the Powers Division, including Mara, would slip into the targets.
Though only a few average Joes in Praetoria knew of Mara, the higher-ups began to take notice. One of them was MICIR. They saw Mara and her team get the job done for years without a hitch. After a few talks, she applied for a post. Six months later, after passing the Interrogator test, the PPD promoted her to MICIR.


Mara's plan worked. Despite a lack of expertise on their part, the team compromised many resistance cells in her area. Utilizing knowledge from those cells, Mara and her team drove out the Crusaders.

However, it's important to note that Mara had spent years asking the judge to give her mother leniency, but her words did not sway the judge.  
There was one problem. Mara misjudged her ability to keep the plot hidden. She was shocked when a senior officer recognized her as Athanasia. That officer was not the only one. Her superiors had figured out her deed, but they let it run its course. Luckily, the PPD let Mara out of the hook. Her effort had reduced the violence rate by foiling the extremist. It allowed them to focus on syndicated crimes. In the end, Mara got a commendation rather than jail time. Mara also won respect from her mother's old friends. PPD still had Mara grilled for 12 hours in the interrogation room before they congratulated her, though.
 
==The Ministry Operative==
Mara's job was to gather intel from her targets and send them to The Ministry. These data usually came from many sources, but most of them came from her target's brain. It was Mara's job to pull it out because this job required her unique skill. In a world where mind-probing is common, many people acquired the ability to seal their minds. A few ways to open their mind are exhaustion and pain, which Mara dutifully inflicted via her psychic powers while her colleague was taping their mind. She was not too happy about it; The Ministry promoted her from a PPD specialist to a glorified torture technician.
 
Nevertheless, the job had its benefits too. It required Mara to mingle with Praetoria's upper class. Emulating her mother's work years ago, Mara used her power to sway many of them, including a young accountant from Kantir Corp.
 
The job also allowed Mara to mend her bond with Keiji and the Nishimura. Her critics claimed that she applied a double standard when her family broke the law. The gambit worked. Most of the family warmly welcomed Mara since she had shown her support for them, although Keiji didn't buy it. Despite her effort, she could not impress her father.
 
Later in her career, Mara was investigating a new mind-control program. Its initial purpose was to calm an unruly mob, but someone altered the design. The early version forced its target to do tasks rather than merely gave a soothing vibe. The later version encoded itself into its victim's memory and activated after some time. In laymen's terms, it turned its victim into a sleeper agent. Worse, there is no way to trace anyone already affected by it.
 
Mara was very close to crack the case open when she received a distress call. She raced to aid her agent, but her luck ran out. When the rescue team arrived, both Mara and her agent had already gone. The agent, who turned out to be a mole, abducted Mara. He wanted The Ministry to release a kingpin in exchange for Mara's safety, but The Ministry did not respond to his demand. They dispatched a rescue team, but it was too late. The mole had hidden Mara (or her remain) before the rescue team could reach her. Since the incident, nobody has ever seen Mara again.

Mara Nishimura was a Powers Division loaned to the police department. The PPD sent her when they had to deal with rogue supers but didn't want the Top Dogs to get involved. She went missing on her last assignment. Her fate is unknown.

In-game Bio

Mara is always eager to prove herself. It is not surprising since her mother was a Powers Division member. Right now, her mother is serving a life sentence. Someone has thrown her mother in jail and made Mara work for them. Calling herself Athanasia, she hopes that one day she will find and rescue her. Whatever her motive is, Mara is now fighting for the good people of Praetoria. If she persists, she may achieve fame and greatness more than her mother ever had.

Biography

Mara Nishimura was born on YYYYMMDD, in Neutropolis. She was the only child of Keiji and Amelia. She grew up in an upper-class family. Her father owned and ran a factory; her mother was a Powers Division. She got her mother's powers, which assured her a spot in the Division.

Mara's brief stint in the Division was not great. She was brave but naive. Her bravery couldn't make up for her lack of skill. After too many defeats, her reputation took a hit. She changed her tactics by working with a few close friends, hoping their fame would carry her through. It didn't. Her mother's arrest later that year ended any hope of a comeback.

Months later, the PPD began recruiting Supers to fill their ranks. They wanted loyal officers, not mavericks like the Top Dogs. A friend of Amelia's encouraged Mara to join the PPD. She applied and got accepted into the academy. Despite the hardships, she graduated with honors.

Mara's departure from the Division to the PPD puzzled many people. It should be the other way around. Like Warrant, for example. It also confused Mara, too. Her record with the Division and her mother's arrest should have disqualified her. As she would later say, it was the weirdest moment of her life.

Mara's new role was less glamorous than her last in the Division. The PPD assigned her to Precinct 4. Working as part of a team, she dealt with rogue Supers under a set of rules. Often, she only provided support, leaving the lion's share to the Division; when she had to take down a Super, she had to do it discreetly.

Though only a few average Joes in Praetoria knew of Mara, the higher-ups began to take notice. One of them was MICIR. They saw Mara and her team get the job done for years without a hitch. After a few talks, she applied for a post. Six months later, after passing the Interrogator test, the PPD promoted her to MICIR.

Personality

The young officer relied on her strength and skills to succeed in her tasks. Mara talked a lot whenever her friends are around. She had many circles providing her with news and gossips in Praetoria. This knowledge helped Mara in shaping her plan. If it did not do, she improvised a new one. Then again, Mara was also a psychic. She had her mother's gene. One of her abilities was well known: Mara could control how people perceive the flow of time. The rest of them were subtler; she could stop anyone from probing her mind, and her words compelled people to obey. However, it's important to note that Mara had spent years asking the judge to give her mother leniency, but her words did not sway the judge.


Rumors of Survival

There were a few rumors regarding Mara's fate; most of them came from Eltentown survivors. The stories started when militias confused a convoy carrying prisoners with medical supplies. The transport, which was going to Arclight Lab, was already empty when the militias caught it. Hours later, the Carnivals had rescued a woman in her late 40s and her daughter before they brought them to the compound. Both women claimed rogue scientists had run experiments on them before they fled. According to a witness, the daughter had many similarities to Mara. Their restraints and nullifier devices were also giveaways to their origin. The escapees joined the militia afterward. They had rescued many citizens from the slavers and many other dangers in First Ward until the Devouring Earth invaded. Most likely, both women sacrifice their lives to buy the citizens enough time to cross into Primal Earth.

Legacy

Despite her shortcomings, Mara has repeatedly shown her skill and commitment to Praetoria. Her work in PPD set a new trend for other Powers Division members to work together. She had swayed many people to serve Praetoria in many ways. If the rumor is true, it showed her dedication. Even after unjust imprisonment, Mara remained loyal to the safety and well being of her people.
