Hello...
Can I just say thank you for entering this competition. We've been waiting a while for someone to do so!
Anyway, your character. Particle is a good idea, and her powers are quite creative. However, it would be good if you explained them further as they are really rather important. Your description of her hobbies and interests have the kind of detail I would like to see in a character bio, so well done!
The character history could use a little work. It's good and has detail, but unfortunately there are quite a few grammar mistakes and it just generally needs checking over. However the idea of her moving from her villain mother to her hero father was a good idea, especially with the conflict this causes.
Overall, good character, but you do need to work on a few key areas which require more detail than the rest.
Thanks for entering!

As Crow above me already mentioned, there were quite a lot of grammar mistakes, such as the one in "Her loves messing in her lab and reading."

That said, between the descriptions of her appearance and personality, she sounds too good to be true, not to mention contradictory. She's wild, but she's calm? She's a science prodigy with excellent social skills? She's a partier, yet she somehow has time to run experiments?

I think this profile could do with a bit more thinking through of the details and if someone could actually be like described. Unless time travel is one of her abilities, even a superhero would have a hard time finding all the time to do all the mentioned activities and hobbies, especially if research/running experiments is as major hobby in her life as the profile gives the impression of.

This is a good character description, it makes me want to read more about this person. Her personality definitely seems entertaining, and her character design is well thought out and detailed. I like that you included things like her build and also two different outfits; her superwear and everyday wear.

The only problem I see is how realistic this is. And yeah, I know superhero stories are allowed to stretch realism quite a bit. But it seems like you wanted her to seem more human (her character background about her parents and the fact that she participates in school and sports seem to suggest so). But I'm trying to imagine being a fifteen year old, who goes to school, who secretly has an abnormal life and an abnormal family, who happens to be particularity gifted in science and fools around with dangerous equipment in her lab all day, manages to go to volleyball and gymnastic practices, jog, swim, and go cove diving on her spare time, and last but not least enjoys reading novels. To me, there are just not enough hours to do half of this stuff in one day. If you are someone who does a lot of extra curricular stuff I'm sure you would've realized that varsity sports and high school classes alone can be enough to dry up all your time.

Besides rethinking that detail, I think you've got a great description here. I had fun reading about her ^_^

The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
