Character birthday

Halcyon, aka Holly Dolphin. She is the youngest child and only daughter of Aqua and Speedy. Unlike her brother, she did not inherit her father's ability to breathe water, but she learned to swim at an early age and is extremely good at it.

She was born in Ultra-Grav's Darrowburn mansion and lives with her family in what was once the servants' hall and accommodation, which Ultra-Grav had converted into apartments for Speedy and Aqua when they started their family. She was home educated along with her brother and a new generation of variants whose powers made it hard for them to live in the wider community.

While she is associated with the G-Men, she and her brother also work together as a crime-fighting duo independently.
