Character Name: Secret
Series: Young Justice
Age: Dead, but kinda 14 too. But mostly dead.
Canon: It's a bird! It's a plane! It's another teen hero group! But they're not the Teen Titans and not the Young Avengers -- they're young all right, but it's just us. Er, them. As much a dramatic superhero comic as an excuse for name puns and pop culture references, Young Justice pits our team of teen heroes against all manner of deadly foes, from an evil-overlord from space to angry mothers at a super-hero parent-teacher conference. Formed of well-known heroes and series-original members alike, the team bonds and grows, learning important lessons along the way about friends, family, and how much Hanson sucks.
Secret is the youngest member of the team, and it shows -- she's impulsive, naïve and childish, but she means well and wants to help people. Once she gets an idea in her head, it is very difficult to sway her, and she pursues it with gusto. Like any good hero-wannabe, Secret cares about Right and Wrong; however she is occasionally swayed by her immaturity, and will make exceptions when it's personal. Secret was rescued from the DEO (Department of Extra-normal Operations) where she was raised in an airtight cell and kept under observation. She is made of mist and has a handful of related powers, such as levitation, being occasionally invisible, intangible, and able to temporarily mold her body into any size or shape she wants. One quick back-story retcon later, the source of Secret's powers is her untimely death, thanks to a radio to the bathtub; this gives her a weakness to shocks and electricity, which incapacitate her in various ways. She sometimes reacts to normal situations like...well, like a girl raised in a box, and she knows she is abnormal, which makes her a little unsure -- she wishes for friends, but sometimes feels she does not deserve them.
Note: Secret is apped from around the end of Issue 30.

Hm, I thought this was a…summer camp? I think that's what it's called. But now that I'm in here it really looks more like the DEO compound -- I've only managed to pick up a few details, from signs and stuff, but just look at all those poor kids! Contained like this, forced to have their powers put on display. I mean, nobody wants to stay transformed as a gorilla all the time, no matter how good you are at it! And that poor girl in the lake! I can't believe they're keeping her down there, probably all alone. She probably just needs a friend--someone she can really reach out to, feel…close to. I-- I know how she feels. Somehow, somehow I'll break them out, and then they can all be my new best friends! I'm sure no one will mind if they come stay with us.
U-um! Excuse me? Listen, everyone, I know the DEO said they wanted to help you, but they're really bad people, who want to do…bad things. Please don't be alarmed! I would question the intelligence of anyone who'd do something awful like this, too, but that's no reason to start yelling "braaaaains"! They might hear you, after all, and then we'd all be in for it. And we don't want in, right? We want out. My name is Secret, and I'm definitely going to get you out of here! --What? Oh, uhhm, well, I haven't been in the lake -- I can't, really -- and I'm sort of see-through so I guess you could say I was, um, 'sheer dry', a-and I am going to do my best to be the ah, 'right guard', for all of you, I promise! But um, no, just "Secret" is fine, please.
Anyway, don't worry; I've been practicing and I'm really getting sort of good at break-outs -- If I can just find a hole or a crack or something in whatever it is that's keeping you in, then I'll come back and bring you all to it! What? ...'Will I bring the--' You mean, to you? can I really-- I'm not sure that's possi-- I mean, yes! O-of course! Everyone, don't worry! I will definitely bring the crack!
Now, wait here, I'll just be a--AIIIIEE!
A-ah! That really shocked me! …Oh! I'm-- I guess it shocked me so hard, I'm sort of …solid now? Ah, uhmm, I'm sorry, everyone, I guess this is going to take a bit longer. It looks like, for now, I-- I wont be able to…do it. …Well, thank you for saying I shouldn't feel bad, but what do you mean, "it happens to lots of boys"? I haven't met anyone else with powers like mine and…can't you tell I'm a girl? Weren't you the one calling me "Victoria", earlier? A-and I don't really think just cuddling is going tear down this wall.
