Aurora Williams was born with powers, not knowing of them until an accident when she was 12 and hurt a couple of people. She grew up in a different country afterwards, her parents finding it would be best for a change. At the age of 21, Aurora was taken by HYDRA and left to the devices of many others in order to comply. The girl was in charge of The Winter Solider, occasionally breaking through his mind to get the real man back, only to be hurt again and again.
