About

Tina was born in China, where she was shunned by her parents, who preferred to dote on her above average cousin, Zahn Hahn, who they were keeping as a ward. Never feeling fully at home, Tina was attacked during a home invasion and manifested her ability soon after that. She was considered the best of the best as a Company Agent but stepped down to train new recruits following a mission in Cairo.

Tina is a loyal person who strives to believe the best in people. Her strength, both inside and out, is matched by nearly no one and she wishes to one day return home to form a new relationship with her parents.

Character History

Season One History

Tina begins trainined new recruits Joshua Lincoln and Ethan Campbell. While training them, Tina tries to teach the guys about how dangerous it is being out in the field. When Ethan fails her test, she throws him across the room as a punishment. After two villains are spotted in Central Park, Tina and her old friend Tyson Russel lead the two new recruits on a mission to capture them. Tina searches with her old partner but is no match for Nicholas Sawe, who nearly kills her.

After Angela is palced in a coma, Tina is put in charge of Primatech and its operations. She starts her command by sending Tyson, Ethan and Elisa on a mission to rescue The Seer, who has been captured by Pinehearst. While her operatives are on this mission, Tina learns about the final mission that Angela issued, which involved Level 5 escapee Emily Rose. Tina quickly rallies some troops and tries to save Joshua from Emily's wrath, but she is unable to as Emily uses her power to kill her.

Through Joshua's coaching, Emily is able to revive Tina, who is subsequently knocked out by Tyson's tazer. When Tina awakens, she tries to kill Emily but fails, as Emily destroys herself. Tina returns to Primatech with her friends and is fired by Angela. After completing one final mission for her, Tina leaves Angela and catches up with Joshua. She advises him to return home like she is and she then drives to the airport.

Assignment Tracker Page

As a young girl, Tina was usually ignored as her parents' attention was focused on the young Zahn Hahn, Tina's cousin who had become their ward following her parents' death. Zahn was consistantly better at everything Tina did, pleasing Tina's parents to such an extent that Tina was seemingly forgotten. One evening, while Mr and Mrs Bui were away at a dinner, theives broke into the house to steal the valuable diamonds that Mr Bui and his company held. Tina was shot and Zahn survived without a scratch. Following that night, Tina discovered that she was much stronger than other people her age. Further testing of her power made her realise that she was stronger than everybody. She contacted a doctor, who alerted The Company. A Bag and Tag was initiated and Tina was monitored for four years before a recruitment process was ordered. Tina became an agent to the highest class and currently holds the record for the fastest completion of the training simulation. Her ability, matched with her skill in martial arts makes her one of the best agents in The Company's history. Out of all of Tina's missions, only one target has ever escaped her grasp. Nicknamed the "Sandman", a special with the ability to control sand managed to avoid Tina's capture during a mission in Cairo.

After long years of bagging and tagging, Tina put in her resignation but was instead reassigned to training new recruits, a job which she found personally rewarding.

The file also contains a psychological profile:

Tina's initial jealousy towards other women comes from her childhood problems with her cousin/"sister" Zahn Hahn. However, Tina's control over her mental state and her determination to remain kind and caring has managed to drive these jealous qualities away, at least for now.

Evolved Human Abilities

Tina possesses greater physical strength, stamina, agility and endurance than normal human beings. She has shown that she has enough strength to knock out a very large, muscular man with a single kick as well as lift a man bigger then her above her head and throw him several metres across the room.

According to her assignment tracker, Tina's biological is 97, her cerebral is 52, her elemental is 20 and her temporal/spatial is 13. Tina's control index is 82%.
