Iris

Iris (also known as Lilly O'Malley) is a Junior member of the Paragons of Humanity. She is a gifted psychic, with powerful telekinesis and telepathy with limited flight and mental control abilities.

Background
Lilly grew up in a somewhat small suburb. Her parents were never really in the picture because her dad worked as a truck driver and was therefore gone from the house a lot and her mom suffered from a drug addiction, so she barely even knew she had a child.

She figured out how to use her powers in middle school, though there were some weird instances in her childhood. She used her powers to become relatively popular in high school. Because she could see what everyone was thinking about her, she was able to use that knowledge to get on their good sides. She had a lot of friends but none of them knew about her abilities other than her best friend, Melany. She told Melany everything, and Mel accepted it.

Lilly cheated a bit throughout high school, even though her powers did help her intelligence, she knew she wouldn't get into a good college unless she was able to earn scholarships for her grades, because of her family would never be able to financially support her education. She was able to get enough scholarships to go to college with Mel. Mel and Lilly were roommates their freshman year, but then during sophmore year, tragidy fell upon the girls. One night when they were out partying, both Lilly and Mel were drunk when a stranger approached Melany. Because she was intoxicated, Lilly could not see the bad intentions in the man's mind, so she let Mel go with him that night. He murdered Melany and Lilly blamed herself for her death.

Lilly spiraled after that. First she hunted the man down and made sure he paid for what he had done. When that did not lessen her guilt, Lilly dropped out of college and moved into the city, where she started to use her powers to steal and tricking scummy men into thinking she would sleep with them, and then torturing them. That was when another telepath named William found her and helped her get back on her feet. He took her in and helped her develop her powers more, because he was able to see how similar her powers were to his. Now she only uses her powers against people who she deems bad, trying to do her best to be good in order to avenge Mel.
