Gemma Constantine

Gemma Constantine is fiercely independent, and loyal. She has a curious nature that often gets her into trouble. She remembers nothing of her life in between the time she was ten and The One-Man War, after which she was de-aged. She loves her Uncle John and is generally his balancer, keeping him docile around others.

Appearance
Gemma is an attractive young woman who believes in the rule of basic black. At work, she wears a knee length skirt and a sleeveless blouse. Casually, she's seen in a tank-top and tight fitting pair of jeans.

History
During the explosion that happened at the end of The One-Man War, John Constantine found himself stopped in time, with a figure that resembled his then-comrade Ion standing before him. He was told that he had absorbed a vast amount of magical energy, and that he had two choices; die now and pass on to Heaven, or be cursed to live eternally among men. He chose the latter, citing that not only was not ready to pass on, but he felt there was some good he could do in the world, and that he wanted to atone for his past sins. The being agreed with John, saying that to balance the curse that he would find eternal life to be, he would be allowed to repair his greatest mistake. At first, John assumed this statement to be an agreement about his past sins. He realized the truth soon enough when he returned home to find his niece, Gemma Masters, de-aged as he was, appearing to be only ten and having no memory of ever being older. He took her in, and raised her.

This time around, when Gemma reached her teens and wanted to learn more about magic, John supported her, realizing that the past forboding by himself and his sister is what caused Gemma to rebel so much to begin with. He nurtured her and trained her to be responsible with magic, and not repeat his past mistakes. She grew into a competent magus, and assisted her uncle on many an adventure. When the time came, however, she opted to not make it a full-time career quite yet, opting to go to college, a decision John was more than happy with. She currently attends Metropolis University, double-majoring in theology and journalism. She's also accepted a paid internship with the Daily Planet, assisting the Editor-in-Chief, Lois Lane.

Powers, Abilities, and Gear
Gemma Constantine possesses the strength, speed, and durability of a woman her age who engages in regular exercise and eats well. While not quite among the ranks of her uncle or veterans like Zatanna, she is an accomplished magus in her own right.

Weaknesses
Gemma Constantine is still a mortal human being with no superhuman strengths outside of magic use.
