Not-so-super heroine

I commissioned this beautiful picture from ~xaznminigrlx very recently, of one of my original characters. Her name is Maria, and she is a sub-heroine (less super than a superheroine, or even just a heroine XD) called Beach Babe. Maria is her identity when she's just a civilian. When she transforms, she becomes Beach Babe.

===========================

Maria's character bio (if you don't care, just scroll past this stuff. ^^)

Name: Maria Hernandez
Role: Civilian identity of Beach Babe
Super-weight: -1
Nationality: American
Ethnicity: Spanish-American descent
Place of residence: Costa Diamante, a fictional costal town in the far south of California.
Age: 13
Date of Birth: May 8.
Height: 5'4"
Weight (nude): 8st 10lbs
Hair colour: Black, usually with subtle home-made tint
Eye colour: Chestnut brown
Skin colour: White, usually quite pale thanks to strong suncream SPF75+

Usually seen wearing: School uniform (School rules dictate uniform must be worn at all times outside of the home on days attending school or school-related functions)
White or royal blue headscarf, tied around the hair; hair to be worn comfortably in a single ponytail at the back.
White blouse with wing-collar, 3/4-length sleeves, fully buttoned-up.
Tie, tied in a Windsor knot; royal blue.
Knee-length skirt, royal blue.
School uniform-issue flip-flops, in white or royal blue (school insignia pressed into the soles).


Sexuality: Lesbian (in the closet)
Previous relationships: None.
Current relationship: None. Has been secretly in love with her best mate, Rosita Guerrera, for some years.
Superpowers: None
Special abilities: None
Combat training: None
Weapons: None
Other items carried: As she's a schoolgirl...typically her satchel with her schoolbooks and stationery, and a gigantic hardbacked tome entitled Encyclopædia Melodramatica.
Intelligence: Average
Grade average: C+
Strength: Slightly below-average.
Personality: Often fairly shy and quiet around most people, but more outgoing around those she knows well and likes, such as her best mate Rosita Guerrera, her mother and father, and Rosita's parents, as well as one or two of her favourite teachers. Academically, she is not particularly bright, but studies a lot in her free time and really tries to better her grades, with only marginal success (eg. occasionally a B- instead of a C+). Is often picked on by other students as being nerdy (not because of high grades, but studying a lot), anti-social (due to her shyness), taking part in unpopular extracurriculars (drama club, usually backstage, and chess), and sometimes just being downright odd (always bringing her huge encyclopædia to school).
Has only one friend, Rosita Guerrera, who is thereby her best mate; they have known each other since they were born (Rosita just
before midnight May 7, Maria just after midnight May 8), and their mothers were best friends since kindergarten. Maria is secretly in love with Rosita, but too shy to voice her feelings and too scared that they would not be reciprocated (or worse, that it might ruin their friendship). Is universally considered by boys as not worth dating, which is just as well as she has no interest in them anyway. Also has a small crush on her (female) Drama teacher.
Greatest wish: To come out to Rosita and be her girlfriend...and snog Rosita silly.
Friends: Beach Babe (alter-ego), Rosita Guerrera.
