Background/History: Shen Li-min was born in Tibet, hatched from the mystical Egg of Dhammpada. She was thought to be magical being, destined to bring fourth a new age of peace and enlightenment. Her destiny was kept a secret from her throughout her childhood and she was adopted and raised by perfectly normal parents. Shen had no idea there was anything unusual about herself until her powers emerged. She developed feathers on her arms and the ability to fly. She joined the international peacekeeping organization Stormwatch under the code name “Swift” shortly thereafter.
Shen believed strongly in the organization’s stated goals despite the fact her naturally pacifist nature often conflicted with her mission priorities. Even so, Swift’s determination, skill and courage made her an valuable asset to the team so much so that when Stormwatch was reorganized she was assigned to Stormwatch Black, a cevert unit, along with Jack Hawksmoor and Jenny Sparks. She’d expected to be dismissed so the promotion came as shock and encouragement and she wished to excel in her new duties. So when Christine Trelane revealed that her powers had not yet fully emerged, Shen jumped at the chance to have them activated. The process was excruciatingly painful and incapacitated Shen for weeks.
She woke to find her powers greatly enhanced. She was faster, stronger and now able to sense air currents in a way she never could before. With her new abilities Swift served with distinction until Stormwatch’s tragic destruction. In The Authority, she has found a new team that strives to continue her goal of making the world a better place. Shen still has pacifist core nature. She is willing to do what must be done though it troubles her at times. Such things as the destruction of Sliding Italy test her resolve but she can understand their necessity.
As one of the more stable members of The Authority, Swift provides a compassionate ear and a shoulder to lean up for her companions. She is willing to listen and her manner is soothing. Conversely, she rarely opens up to her team mates about her own doubts and inner feelings. She is closest to Jack and Jenny, in fact she and Jenny are casual lovers, but she doesn’t share her innermost emotions with either of them. Shen’s greatest joy is flying. She loves to spend hours just soaring, feeling the air currents for hundreds of miles and escaping her troubles and concerns.
