origin story input?

I think that Cynthia's canon backstory translates pretty ok to CH, but I want to lay out what I have just to be sure that it's alright! if anyone has any input or ideas or really anything, I'd love to hear it!

So far what I have is: Cynthia grew up with her superhero mother Sumia (and maybe a dad too?? I don't know what to do about the father situation, because no marriage or father-child relationship in FE:A is "canon"). She was very close to her mother, but despite that influence in her life, she did not particularly want to be a superhero. She was preoccupied with other, more normal things, like hanging out with friends and keeping up with school. She would have been happy to stay a civilian with cool powers and live a normal life. But, of course, it didn't go that way. One day, her mother MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED while on a mission, and Cynthia received the terrible news that her mother was probably dead. She also received her mother's wedding ring, which was found around where Sumia was supposedly doing superhero stuff. The event influenced her so greatly that her entire view on her role in the world shifted. Ever since then, Cynthia has worn the ring in her mother's memory, and she has vowed to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a superhero. Part of this is to help and protect others the way her mother did, but part of it is also to see if she can one day find her mother. She's hopeful that Sumia is still out there, somewhere.

She's definitely a registered superhero, as she believes that's more heroic (though she believes there's sort of a ~cool~ aspect to being a Teen Vigilante Superhero). She's young, so I'd imagine she would register with the Trailblazers.

As for her superpowers, they're innate. She can fly and she can make other stuff fly too. Sometimes at very fast speeds. Sometimes even in the direction she chooses. (She's still working on it.) I imagine she'd be a D ranking at the moment? Maybe just barely a C. She doesn't have too much combat training, or superpower training, but her powers have the potential to be pretty good as she learns how to use them.
