Appearance:
Personality: Fiercely independent, Imani has always been a bit of a lone wolf. She has few friends because she can be harsh and critical of everyone as a result of her upbringing, but she's always looking out for the little guy. While she doesn't believe every single individual is capable of the same things - people have their obvious strengths and weaknesses - she does believe there is nothing holding back any ethnicity or gender from achieving what the others can on a broad scale.
Interests: All forms of martial arts, all religions, biology, dance.
Skills: Master of Laamba style wrestling and capoiera, incredible gymnast, experienced dancer, leader, bilingual.
Abilities/Powers: Enhanced Condition - The user exhibits a physical and mental state beyond what their species is naturally capable of, but not to the point of being blatantly superhuman.
History: Born to a small tribe in South Africa that had not yet been introduced to the modern world, Imani Onobanjo was next in line to receive the title of Kgosi - or Kgosigadi, as a woman. Eager to lead her people into a prosperous era, she honed mind, body, and spirit to absolute perfection and outclassed even seasoned warriors in her youth. She mastered Laamba style wrestling and capoeira as per tribal customs, and became a leader many were fond of even before she received her title. Kgosi was not often given to a woman, but Imani was one people looked forward to.
Her father, not looking to stray from customs, passed Imani over as Kgosigadi and instead opted to give the title of Kgosi to his nephew; while he was not next in line by any means, he was still a boy and he was able-bodied, meaning he could lead. This disrespect prompted anger from Imani, for which she was banished.
She spent her time since traveling around Africa helping lost souls, eventually being known as Kgosigadi. She empowered women where she could, striking down vile patriarchs in other tribes. Eventually, however, she parted ways with her homeland, having eventually earned enough money to fly to the United States. There, she sought to better herself and eventually prove to her people - and to the world - what she was capable of.
