Bio:
Mercedez Steele-Mercado was a happy little girl growing up with her loving papi Mario and mama Shari, and her big brother Marlon...until one day when there was a tragic accident when she was just 7 years old. As they were driving from the Bronx to the countryside for a family outing, there was a shooting on the highway which caused a massive pile up of cars. Mercedez's family was caught in the crossfire and the pile up of cars. Fire, crashes, everything....the total ended up with 14 dead, and 5 injured. Except Mercedez. She was found in her family's demolished vehicle, unharmed and untouched. Marlon's body couldn't even be found. Police and doctors were puzzled. Not a scratch. Mercedez tried to explain to them that there was an angel protecting her, that the angel had shielded her....I won't say no one believed her, but many just played it up to a young girl's imagination and way of coping with a tragic situation......Mercedez from that point on went to live with her Uncle Antonio Steele-Mercado, and his son, her cousin Tito at their ranch in San Antonio, TX. She soon discovered as she got older from the day of the accident, there was something different about her...she rarely got harmed, and when she did, she would heal rapidly....she was extremely strong, such as when she tore of the refrigerator door by accident, or how she could tell when there was danger nearby....which she discovered when she was 13, and stopped some gangbangers from taking out Tito. After that, she knew she had a gift...she remembered the angel....she had been touched by something divine. She took the name Divine and began fighting crime in San Antonio. In part to honor her parents and her brother's memories. because after reading some records of the event, she wanted to stop crimes altogether. She garned the attention Lady Indigo, who became a mentor to her....taught her how to fight and also offered her a membership to a secret superheroine sisterhood called D.I.V.A.S. .........and the story begins...

Powers:
Divine has extraordinary strength and rapid healing abilities. Her strength is not Hulk level or anything...but somewhere around Spidey-level...speaking of that, she also has a "danger-sense radar" much like his where she can sense trouble and avoid anything that's coming to harm her.

Other Skill Sets:
Divine is skilled in several martial arts, thanks to Indigo's training. She also knows how to handle various weapons from Tito. She's a brilliant strategist as well.

Personality:
Divine is a extremely focused young lady who has a high GPA. She's very serious about taking down crime, and is thinking about studying criminal law in college. She's usually very quiet and reflective, but she's a fierce fighter too. She's definitely a proud Latina, and loves her remaining family. Don't threaten them, because she gets really mad then.
Yet, It's hard for her to be social around people due to her not wanting to ever lose anyone again, but she tries. She also has a deep spiritual side, and has strong faith in God.
