Cecile

Lawyer. Metahuman with empathic powers called Virtue

I’m Cecile Horton, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I fight for what’s right—whether it’s in the courtroom or out in the world. I started as a district attorney, tough but fair, and later stepped into the role of a defense attorney to help those who truly need it. Somewhere along the way, I discovered I had metahuman empathic abilities, which—let me tell you—was a game-changer. Feeling people’s emotions? Reading their thoughts? It’s a lot, but I’ve learned to use it to help my team and my clients. I’ve always been about justice, but my world shifted when I met Joe West. He was my rock, my love, and the best father to our daughter, Jenna. Losing him in the line of duty… it shattered me. Joe was a hero in every sense of the word, but that doesn’t make the pain any easier. I still hear his voice in my head, telling me to keep going, to take care of Jenna, to never stop fighting. As for me? I’ve got dark curly hair, warm brown eyes, and a style that says I mean business but know how to have fun. I love a good glass of wine, a soulful jazz record, and spending time with my family—what’s left of it. I can’t stand injustice, dishonesty, or seeing people suffer when I know I can help. Life has thrown a lot at me, but I’m still standing. Still fighting. Because that’s who I am.
