Background/History: Bounty is a slender woman of African descent with short black hair and dark, innocent eyes. Since her Chrysalis she has been covered in a layer of living green plants that grow from her skin. Since this covering is fairly adequate and she rarely travels among baselines with their prudish beliefs, she usually goes naked. Bounty's voice is soft but strong and she has a very pleasant accent when speaking. It is particularly soothing to children.

It didn't take long though, for her abilities to reveal the secret sterilization programs inside Utopia. In 2005, with Mal's Null Manifesto fresh in her mind, Bounty fled and sought out the Teragen. She soon underwent her first Chrysalis emerging with new and more potent abilities to become the woman most important for the survival of Novas as species. She established the most secretive of Terat enclaves. Called the Nursery, it is hidden in the jungles near her native Zaire. Terats that wish to have children come to her to have their fertility restored. By 2008, the Nursery houses over a dozen children of Nova parents, four of them Bounty's own.

Bounty is a gentle loving creature for the most part. But when her charges are threatened she can become quite fierce. She favors a non violent approach to most problems but Utopia is the target for her only true spite. She feels hurt and betrayed by the organization and would do almost anything to see it exposed for what it truly is. The future does not look bright for the gentle Bounty and her charges. The Apostle will most likely betray them in his bid to gain Mal's favor and eliminate his rivals in the Teragen.

Powers: Bounty controls fertility. She can cause plants to spontaneously grow to maturity is moments and make the land incredibly fertile. In animals she can increase their fecundity to a level where a successful conception is guaranteed, but can't cause pathogenesis in creatures not already capable of it. Bounty's presence naturally increases health and stimulates healthy growth and healing. She can focus this and speed healing to superhuman levels but can't cause spontaneous regeneration. Yet.
