Description
I decided to tweak my OCs Phantom and Temptress a little. I've made them sisters. Their real names are Leila West (Temptress) and Melissa West (Phantom). No relation to Wally West/Kid Flash. Here's a brief back story for each of them.

Leila's Backstory in brief:

At the young age of 15, Leila met and fell in love with a young man who ultimately broke her heart and left her for someone else. From a young age, Leila had come to expect the very best in life so she did not take kindly to being treated this way. As young people are apt to do, she closed herself off from the people she loved and in doing so, her bitterness and resentment towards men began to grow.

While out in the city one day, she came across a boy flirting with a girl. As she glared at him in disgust, she noticed his wallet sticking out of his pocket. Without thinking, she slipped it out of his pocket. It was only later that she realised she enjoyed the sense of danger that came with stealing. This soon became a habit, and after a while she adopted the alias Temptress. She targets only young men, seeing it as a way to get revenge on the gender she so despises. She only flirts to lull them into a false sense of security before she robs them blind.

When she tried her luck with Red X, she quickly realised he was just as cunning as she was herself, and she grudgingly came to respect this about him. Over time she began to develop a bit of a crush on him and though she flirts with him for real, she isn't willing to pursue a proper relationship with him.

Melissa's Backstory in brief:

Melissa and Leila's father died when Melissa was 14. Leila, with her hatred towards men, did not care. Their mother, just as self-centered as her eldest daughter, did not care much either. She pulled away from her daughters even more. Without the support of her parents, life became a game of "every woman for herself".

Food was scarce. Unable to rely on Leila or her mother to get a job, and too young to get one of her own, Melissa found that stealing was her best chance if she wanted to eat again. She was nearly caught out the first few times, but the discovery of her powers helped her.

From a young age she had always surrounded herself with what she believed to be imaginary friends. As she grew older though, she realised these "friends" were illusions she created with her mind. With practice, her power increased and soon other people were able to see her illusions. She now uses this to her advantage, using illusions as a distraction as she takes what she needs. She can also use her powers to alter her appearance temporarily, which helps her to evade capture.

Melissa does not enjoy stealing, but it is all she really knows. She only takes necessities. Mostly she will avoid interacting with others, preferring to surround herself with her own illusionary friends.

~~~

The sisters do not get on well. They have very different personalities, and though they are both thieves, Melissa hates what she has become while Leila loves what she does.

This was also an excuse to experiment with different lighting. I hope it looks alright. Leila looks like she's not wearing anything...oops. I've altered Phantom's age to 16, and Temptress is 18.
