Hydro-Girl

"Hopefully, the water forgives you." -Hydro-Girl after throwing two members of the Downpour Crime Syndicate into the water..

Hurihiko aka Hydro-Girl is the main protagonist of the HydroVerse series of comics and one of many characters created by theryanjake11, she originates from a planet called Aqua-Irava and is the demigoddess of both her home planet and the element of water.

Over the course of her history, Hydro-Girl has fought numerous battles both tough and easy, her destiny is to become the Goddess of Aqua-Irava after her mentor Omeka, but Hydro-Girl has openly refused such a thing due to her modesty.

Appearance
Hydro-Girl is an 8-9 foot tall nude female with blue/seafoam green skin and sports darker-shaded neat hair. Hydro-Girl possesses a very muscular build, with visible abs.

Hydro-Girl also features light blue eyes that are perpetually glowing. When under the power of the Ukala, Hydro-Girl grows to a great height and gains braided hair along with bright glowing eyes.

When she was briefly under the brainwashing of Kino, Hydro-Girl's eyes turned to a glowing purple.

Early Life
In the early years of Aqua-Irava’s war with Lucifero, two unknown parents were gifted with Hurihiko whilst living in the caves of their planet due to the on-going battle. Whilst talking to her people Omeka saw an infantile Hurihiko being held up in the air by her parents, the Aqua-Iravian Goddess saw something in the infant: A guardian.

Since that day Hurihiko was trained immensely by Tesla at the age of 18,who moulded Hurihiko into the demigoddess of water Omeka knew she could be. After her training was complete, Omeka officially labelled Hurihiko as the demigoddess of Aqua-Irava as well as her student, keeping her close by at all times.

Travelling to Earth
After learning the extent of her powers, Omeka sent Hurihiko to Earth in the 1800s to observe humans and the overall environment, she would then make frequent trips from Aqua-Irava to Earth and back.

After this, she rested in the caves of Aqua-Irava for a long time before she was awakened by Sigma Research after they succeeded in opening a gateway into her world.

First Encounter with Corvus
During the second World War, Hydro-Girl arrived on Earth and noticed the complete desolation that surrounded her and made her feel upset. As she wandered the foggy battlefield, she noticed a destroyed house and entered only to find two corpses and a very weak, crying baby in a box on the floor. Unbeknownst to Hydro-Girl, this baby would grow up to become the grandfather of her future companion, Kevin Harrison.

The petrified Hydro-Girl picked up the human infant and noticed the weakened state it was in, so she took the baby outside and proceeded to breastfeed it in order to keep it from dying. Suddenly, Hydro-Girl is attacked by the Day Wolf known as Lilith who then tries to devour the baby.

Lilith charges into Hydro-Girl, launching the baby into the air before being caught by Lilith who then attempts to eat the baby until she is hit with a strong blast of water by Hydro-Girl. This launches the baby into the air a second time, but Hydro-Girl is the one to catch it this time.

Distracted, Hydro-Girl is bitten on the arm by Lilith which causes the Aqua-Iravian to react by punching the Day Wolf in the face and then deliver another strong blast of water which sends Lilith flying into the ground, knocking her out.

Hydro-Girl reassures the baby, but she is then met by a masked Corvus who then orders a tank to open fire at Hydro-Girl. To protect herself and the baby, Hydro-Girl deploys her bubble shield to deflect the tank's missile, launching it back at the tank and destroying it instantly. Corvus manages to compose himself after the blast, but he is then hit with a powerful water wave and slams into the front of the destroyed tank.

Vietnam War
Hydro-Girl had stayed on Earth to notice another war on Earth in Vietnam, where Hydro-Girl travelled in search of Corvus after realising that he was still alive. Upon arriving in Vietnam in 1971, Hydro-Girl got into frequent battles with the Viet-Cong who saw her as a strange water creature. It was here when Hydro-Girl encountered the daughter of Vortak known as Mura who caused death and destruction in the area.

The two got into a brief fight, with Hydro-Girl managing to use her water blasts to cause the inexperienced Mura to retreat from the area but did vow to get her revenge someday. A year later, Hydro-Girl managed to track Corvus down to a small village where the villain had recently committed mass genocide. Hydro-Girl watched as Corvus turned her attention to a container he had brought with him, revealing a horrific mutant inside.

Corvus reveals that the mutant was the result of the same super soldier serum that he himself took, but it had not taken too lightly to this specimen. The petrified Hydro-Girl is then forced to do battle with this helpless experiment, and it manages to grab her by the ankle before attempting to crush it. Hydro-Girl fends off the mutant using her water blasts, and then prepares to fight.

After knocking down the mutant, it begs Hydro-Girl to kill it which only makes her quite heartbroken. The US military then initiates a napalm strike that engulfs the entire area in fire, Corvus escapes as does Hydro-Girl.

Merging with Eileen Howells
The science organization known as Sigma Research spend three years trying to open a portal to another world, they succeed and decide to send in Sigma scientists Eileen Howells and assistant Slick. The two look on in awe at their surroundings, the portal had taken them to a cave filled with shimmering crystals growing out of the walls around them.

The two then inspect a small lake nearby, causing Eileen and Slick to suspect that the portal sent them to a simple cave on Earth. The water begins moving, shocking the two scientists who are then knocked back by a sudden blast of water. Hydro-Girl rises out of the water, she notices the two humans on the ground and notices that Eileen is critically injured with a head wound.

Hydro-Girl transfers herself into Eileen's body to keep her alive, she and Slick are later brought back through the portal by a rescue team and are given medical treatment. Eileen is unresponsive at first, but her vital signs begin going up which shocks everyone in the room including the unusually calm Dr. Newman. Eileen is taken home by her colleagues and put to rest on her bed, she soon wakes up.

Upon waking up, Eileen is confused and has a headache which prompts her to stumble to her bathroom to splash some water on her face. After doing so, Eileen notices her eyes have gone from brown to a bright blue and before she can properly realise what's happening to her she then notices her skin colour becoming blue. Eileen's entire body begins growing, causing her great pain as she stumbles and crawls out of her bathroom whilst her body continues to reshape itself.

After climbing to her feet, Hydro-Girl decides to go out into the city and analyse the area. She comes across a few members from the Downpour Crime Syndicate (DCS) and sees them dumping barrels off of the docks, Hydro-Girl manages to take them out but chooses not to cause any real harm as a warning.

Hydro-Girl then makes her way back to the apartment and reverts back into Eileen, she wakes up in a daze and finds herself lying on her bed. The confused Eileen tries to collect her thoughts and soon finds out about a sighting of a "blue woman" on the news, this startles Eileen as she loosely recalls her skin turning blue. In shock, Eileen watches the news some more and then learns that the photos were taken by a missing little boy named Kevin.

Meeting Kevin
Eileen makes it her mission to find the boy and talk to him about what he saw, she goes out into the city and travels to an abandoned warehouse where the boy was believed to have been last seen. Eileen explores the area and then is startled as the boy is standing behind her, he runs off as she approaches. Eileen follows the boy around the side of the warehouse and finds him standing next to a small fire.

Trying not to appear intimidating, Eileen tries to assure the boy that she means no harm and introduces herself. The boy introduces himself as Kevin and reveals that he ran away from home along with his sister, but his sister had passed away from starvation. The heartbroken Eileen then consoles Kevin, but their embrace is cut short when a group of angry DSC members confront them on account of some "stolen water".

After trying her best to diffuse the situation, Eileen is immediately beaten down by the gang and the leader orders her to be thrown off the dock. Kevin watches helplessly as Eileen is carried away and thrown into the water, the leader then begins to threaten Kevin's life. The surrounding water and the overall situation causes Eileen to undergo another transformation into Hydro-Girl and she manages to climb out back onto land.

As the gang of thugs attempt to attack Kevin, the leader's goons are picked up by Hydro-Girl and are slammed into one another. The shocked leader and Kevin look on as the tall blue woman stands before them, one of the goons manages to regain consciousness and uses a baseball bat to whack Hydro-Girl in her back. This doesn't affect Hydro-Girl, and she swats him away with her powerful hands.

The panicked leader then holds a gun to Kevin's head, Hydro-Girl then quickly reduces the ammunition to bubbles which allows Kevin to run away to safety whilst Hydro-Girl punches the leader in the face and knocks him out cold. Hydro-Girl then spots the cowering Kevin and slowly walks over to him, she kneels down and looks at him covering his face. Hydro-Girl misinterprets him not looking as a way of saying that she is ugly.

Kevin quickly explains that it is rude to look at naked women, but Hydro-Girl moves his hands to look into his eyes and then gives him a warm smile. Kevin asks Hydro-Girl if she is an angel, but Hydro-Girl holds out her hand and tells the boy it is nice to meet him. Kevin shakes her hand, meanwhile there is a Sigma agent armed with a sniper rifle watching them from a tower.

Hydro-Girl then notices a tear coming from Kevin's eye and wipes it with her finger before questioning him about it. Kevin reveals that he regrets running away, the Sigma agent then takes the shot and Hydro-Girl is hit in the ankle, causing her great pain. Hydro-Girl angrily turns around and fires a powerful blast of water directly into the tower, sending the Sigma agent flying away.

With a medium amount of blood leaking out of her ankle, Hydro-Girl attempts to hide her pain from Kevin but he notices and goes to grab a bin in order for her to rest her injured foot on something. Kevin then begins rubbing Hydro-Girl's foot in an attempt to sooth the pain, a tactic that his late sister used on their mother whilst she was pregnant with Kevin. Hydro-Girl and Kevin then chat, with the boy asking Hydro-Girl where she came from and if she is an angel. Hydro-Girl calmly reveals that she comes from a place called Aqua-Irava and also tells Kevin how she ended up merging with Eileen.

The conversation is cut short when Sigma agents arrive lead by Dr. Newman, who reveals that he is now working with an ancient enemy of Aqua-Irava known as Vortak, much to Hydro-Girl's dismay. Dr. Newman then activates the specialised bullet still lodged in Hydro-Girl's ankle, sending an electrical surge through her body which ultimately makes her collapse as Kevin demands them to leave her alone. Kevin is apprehended by Sigma agents as Hydro-Girl pleads with them to leave him alone.

Hydro-Girl & Eileen
The electrical surge causes Hydro-Girl to revert back into Eileen, she is then taken by Dr. Newman to a place called Devil's Island and strapped to a table inside a room with a laser-like contraption pointed at her. Dr. Newman tells his former employee that she unknowingly helped him in his future plans, he then presses a button which activates the laser and it kills Eileen so that Hydro-Girl will be trapped inside her corpse forever.

Eileen wakes up in a strange place she believes is Heaven at first glance, she then walks around and finds a small dream-like forest that she explores, she inspects strange carvings on a tree before she is spoken to by Hydro-Girl, who is speaking to her from a mirror made out of water. The two finally speak to one another inside this shared consciousness, with Hydro-Girl apologizing for everything she has caused and that Eileen actually died from her head wound inside the cave, Hydro-Girl could not handle the guilt and transferred herself into Eileen's body to keep her alive.

Hydro-Girl then tells Eileen that Earth is in danger due to Dr. Newman allowing Vortak to cross over. This causes Eileen to become speechless as Hydro-Girl tells her the story of Vortak, Hydro-Girl states that the only way to defeat Vortak is to use both their wills to unlock the power necessary for fighting their enemy which will result in both her and Eileen perishing.

Hydro-Girl lets Eileen know that she would understand if Eileen does not wish to give her life away, Eileen however forgives Hydro-Girl and accepts to take part in keeping Earth safe as she helped Dr. Newman find Aqua-Irava in the first place.

The two hold hands, combining their fighting spirit and allowing Eileen to spring back to life in the real world and transform back into Hydro-Girl. A Sigma agent notices and holds her at gunpoint, Hydro-Girl smacks his gun out of his hand before throwing him through a set of doors. Hydro-Girl and Eileen make it their mission to find and rescue Kevin.

Escaping from Sigma
Making her way down the halls Hydro-Girl is confronted by two Sigma agents who demand her to surrender lest they open fire but Hydro-Girl instantly head-butts one of the agents and swipes the second one's gun right out of his hands and observes it before angrily throwing the weapon against the wall, breaking it into pieces.

Hydro-Girl manages to find Kevin and punches the containment panel, freeing Kevin who then jumps into Hydro-Girl's arms and begins to cry as the giant lady consoles him. Kevin then hands Hydro-Girl a bottle of water he had stolen from the DCS earlier, and she absorbs the energy which allows her to generate a shield around herself and Kevin as protection from three Sigma agents that enter the room and open fire on them.

A smirking Hydro-Girl then expels the shield's energy, which causes a sizable shockwave that sends all three Sigma agents crashing into a wall. Hydro-Girl and Kevin finally exit the Sigma base and arrive at a dam, they are confronted by a Sigma tank which fires at them. Kevin is sent flying into the water from the blast which shocks Hydro-Girl.

Positioning her fingers, Hydro-Girl blows a big bubble which envelopes the approaching tank, she then uses her hand to control the bubble and send it flying off of the other side of the dam and into the ground below. Hydro-Girl dives into the water and swims downwards until she spots the unconscious Kevin, she caresses his face before carrying him back up to the surface.

Hydro-Girl begs Kevin to speak to her, the little boy then begins coughing up water and is assisted by a relieved Hydro-Girl. Almost instantly, Hydro-Girl's relief changes to worry as she senses that her old nemesis, Vortak, has been brought over to Earth and is on the move. Hydro-Girl declare that they must return to Downpour City, with Kevin questioning how they plan to do so.

Without hesitation, Hydro-Girl blows a bubble around Kevin's head, as she plans on travelling through the water at super speed and this is the only way for Kevin to both travel with her and breath. Whilst on their journey, Hydro-Girl and Kevin stop in the middle of the ocean to help a military pilot who got taken down by Vortak from drowning, the pilot mentions that Vortak is flying towards Downpour.

Back to Downpour City
As Vortak begins his hellish assault on Downpour City, Hydro-Girl and Kevin arrive and see all the death and destruction caused. Kevin sees Vortak and asks Hydro-Girl how she will defeat him, Hydro-Girl reveals to Kevin that this is the last they'll see each other as this battle requires her to walk alone. Kevin sheds a few tears upon hearing this, and Hydro-Girl catches one in her palm.

This prompts Hydro-Girl to ask Kevin to place his hand on hers, he does so and the bond creates a bright blue light that materialises into a floating artefact known as the Ukala, which will help her in her battle against Vortak. Kevin wishes his friend good luck in her battle, Hydro-Girl gives him a warm smile.

Making her way through fire and numerous charred corpses, Hydro-Girl keeps her head down and leaps onto the roof of a building where she finally confronts the sadistic Vortak. The two speak, with Hydro-Girl declaring that she will defeat him for all the Aqua-Iravians and humans who have suffered, Vortak mockingly questions how she will manage. Hydro-Girl then brings out the Ukala and pushes it into her abdomen before Vortak strikes her, sending Hydro-Girl flying into the nearby river as Kevin worryingly looks on.

The water begins to spiral, catching the attention of both Vortak and Kevin as a bright blue light appears. Hydro-Girl, now increased in size, rises from the water with a hateful glare as Vortak expresses excitement at their oncoming battle. Hydro-Girl stands tall above the trees, staring down her enemy. From within, Hydro-Girl manages to help Eileen Howells connect their minds, which according to Hydro-Girl will increase their fighting spirit and chances of winning.

The Battle with Vortak
As Hydro-Girl and Vortak stare each other down, the demon continues talking down to Hydro-Girl as he pulls a fire sword from his back and makes one final comment on how he attacked her planet years ago. The two titans then charge at one another, with Hydro-Girl ducking beneath the swinging blade of Vortak but he manages to slash her upside the back from behind.

The injured Hydro-Girl manages to keep composure, but she is then impaled through the shoulder by Vortak's fire blade and is pinned to a building. Kevin shouts out in distress which Vortak hears, he then stares directly at the child who is standing on the side-lines. Vortak slowly begins approaching Kevin as Hydro-Girl watches in anguish. She begins making an effort to pull the sword out of her shoulder. Vortak closes in on Kevin and raises his fist to squish the child as he wishes not to waste his power on him, Hydro-Girl quickly manages to remove the sword and get back on her feet to face Vortak.

Hydro-Girl quickly delivers a couple of strong blows to Vortak's face before falling back, holding her bloodied up fists as Vortak delivers a powerful strike to her face which causes her to stumble backwards into a nearby bridge. With Hydro-Girl dazed, Vortak grabs her by the throat and raises her in the air as Kevin watches in horror. Vortak declares that he has won and that Hydro-Girl has let the people of Earth down.

Vortak then smacks Hydro-Girl which causes her to fall to the ground again, Kevin begins panicking and begs Hydro-Girl to get up as she begs the rain to assist her. The raindrops glow as they splash onto Hydro-Girl's skin, giving her enough energy to get back up as her powers begin channelling into her hands. Vortak then shoots fire out of his hand at Hydro-Girl who blocks it with her hands, the stream of fire continues and Hydro-Girl begins to weaken due to taking in too much of Vortak's fire.

From within Hydro-Girl's consciousness, Eileen begins yelling out to Vortak who mocks the human as their clash of energy continues. Vortak stops his fire, and the weakened Hydro-Girl loses balance and falls into the river below her as her eyes dim. A worried Kevin sprints down to the fallen demigod and stands in front of her face. Hydro-Girl looks down at Kevin as he places his hand on her cheek, she smiles at him as the water from the river begins surging up Hydro-Girl's legs.

The powered up Hydro-Girl tells Kevin to get to safety as her eyes begin emitting a powerful blue glow again, she makes one final stand against Vortak and begins harnessing this newfound power. This causes an incredibly bright blue light to emit from Hydro-Girl, blinding both Vortak and Kevin who watches from the side-lines. Vortak becomes afraid of this, shielding himself from the light which eventually envelopes him and almost all of this section of Downpour City.

As the blue light fades, Kevin looks and notices that both Hydro-Girl and Vortak have disappeared before reuniting with his parents who had seen him on television. People hiding in the streets come out into the lightened sky as a news anchor begins addressing the aftermath and state of the city. The news anchor addresses Hydro-Girl and thanks her for her heroism in stopping Vortak. A blue glow is then seen emitting from deep in the water near Downpour City.

Personality
Hydro-Girl is quite the caring and friendly individual, showing kindness towards almost any lifeform she crosses paths with and always gives them a warm smile when speaking to them. When she first met Kevin when he was a child, she shook his hand and expressed how nice it was to meet him. She also demonstrates an understanding nature towards Kevin, who vents about his personal issues as an adult to her at one point.

Modesty is another personality trait that Hydro-Girl possesses, as she kindly refutes Kevin's claim that she is an angel. Another example is that when Omeka offers Hydro-Girl the position of becoming a Goddess, Hydro-Girl turns it down and claims that she was not worthy of such a role at the time.

Hydro-Girl also possesses a mild sense of wisdom, but is still quite naïve at times as she had intercourse with an adult Kevin despite Omeka's immense disapproval. She is also shown to be quite insecure of her appearance as when Kevin refuses to look at her (due to her nudity), Hydro-Girl misunderstands it as him finding her ugly.

Supernatural Strength
As with all Aqua-Iravians, Hydro-Girl was born with supernatural strength that she had soon unlocked through becoming a demigoddess. Such demonstrations of her strength appear throughout the HydroVerse, as she was also trained in hand-to-hand combat and primarily uses her legs to attack her enemies. In Hydro-Girl Returns, Hydro-Girl manages to catch a plane from falling into the ground and sets it down as carefully as possible.

Supernatural Agility
Hydro-Girl demonstrates supernatural agility at various occasions throughout the HydroVerse due to her status as a demigoddess, one primary use of her agility is travelling through water at high speeds.

Supernatural Durability
Another part of becoming a demigoddess is Hydro-Girl's durability, as she is able to hold her own in a fight. Hydro-Girl's skin however is susceptible to gunfire as seen in the first Hydro-Girl comic, where her ankle was pierced by a specialised bullet from a sniper rifle.

Enhanced Healing
Hydro-Girl is able to heal from any wounds she may endure in her battles, but her healing doesn't happen instantly and can take minutes.

Tempus Sword
A part of her past training, Hydro-Girl is skilled with using the Aqua-Iravian weapon known as the Tempus Sword although she almost never uses the weapon. Hydro-Girl did wield a blue-bladed Tempus Sword during her alignment with the Anamaga.

Hydro Stream
The most generally used ability that Hydro-Girl possesses, she is able to fire incredibly powerful streams of water-based energy from her hands that are strong enough to send enemies airborne. In Hydro-Girl Returns, it is revealed that she is also able to channel these streams from her mouth when her hands are occupied.

Size Change
When met with a formidable foe, Hydro-Girl will utilise the power of an Aqua-Iravian artefact known as the Ukala which can only be created through the tears of someone who believes in her. In Hydro-Girl: Remastered, Hydro-Girl catches one of Kevin's tears before asking him to take her hand and thus the Ukala is created. Hydro-Girl pushes the Ukala into her stomach, causing her to become big enough to battle Vortak.

Before Hydro-Girl: Remastered introduced the Ukala, Hydro-Girl changed her size through a risky procedure where she would use all of her inner energy. As seen in the original Hydro-Girl comic, Hydro-Girl died after using up all of her energy to change her size but was later resurrected by Omeka. In Battle for Downpour, Hydro-Girl repeated this ability to fight Corvus' Malum form but this time it only caused her to bleed from her nose and fall into a comatose state.

Hydro Shield
With sufficient energy, Hydro-Girl is able to generate a shield around herself primarily to deflect gunfire of any kind.

Hydro Control
Being the demigoddess of water, Hydro-Girl has the limited ability to control the element of water to her liking. Performing this ability however, drains considerable amounts of her energy so she compromises via her Hydro Stream.

Bubble Snap
In Hydro-Girl: Remastered as Kevin is held at gunpoint by a member of the Downpour Crime Syndicate, Hydro-Girl notices and with the snap of her fingers the ammunition is instantly transformed into bubbles. However, this power is limited to small weapons.

Teleportation
Hydro-Girl is able to teleport from planet to planet with ease, and she generally uses it for travel to places such as Earth and Aqua-Irava.

Hydro Travel
In various situations, Hydro-Girl has demonstrated the ability to travel via any water source.

Body Transference
Hydro-Girl's most notable ability is possession, as she transferred herself into the body of Eileen Howells in order to stop her from dying from brain trauma.

Disguise Generation
In Hydro-Girl 5: Shadow of the Wolf, Hydro-Girl demonstrated the ability to generate a human disguise for herself to bypass an airport terminal as Eileen Howells was deceased at this time.

Trivia

 * Hydro-Girl's model is a recoloured and later modified Cammy from the Street Fighter series of games.
