Vindaya Mhasalkhar (Panacea)

Name: Vindaya Anuja Mhasalkar (Willoughby) Hero Name: Panacea

Age: 27

Gender: Female (she/her)

Sexuality: Bisexual

Home District: East Pembina

Job: Second year medical resident, currently serving as an ER doctor at CK University Hospital

Power: Vindaya's a healer; she has the ability to instantly recognize what's physically wrong with someone and fix it by taking it upon herself (i.e., if you've broken your arm, she can instantly heal that break, thereby breaking her own arm). She recovers much more quickly from other people's afflictions than she would her own; that broken arm, depending on how bad it was, could ail her for no more than a few hours at worst. If you're familiar with Raven's healing ability from the original Teen Titans comics, it's similar to that.

Of course, this gets a little finicky. She can't heal mental illnesses that aren't clearly due to a physical cause (i.e., PTSD isn't possible to cure, but depression might be). And though she recovers quickly from whatever she takes upon herself, it can still very well be incredibly damaging if not fatal if she isn't careful. For example, she could, in theory, regenerate someone else's limb lost to amputation, but that would mean she would permanently lose that limb. Anything that isn't naturally curable remains impossible to cure; she could take it upon herself, but she'd never recover. As such, it's a power she often uses in conjunction with her work. She is, however, an impressive diagnostician.

Misc details:

 * > Huge workaholic. Largely raised that way, but she works very hard to prove herself as a capable doctor without relying on her powers.
