About Debbie "Redwood" Cleaver

Backstory:
Debbie Cleaver is a stay at home mother of three. Her loving husband, Bill of seventeen years has gifted her with three wonderful children. The Oldest Lilah, the middle child Bill Jr. And the youngest Mary Beth. They have a house in the suburbs with a mostly built fence and dog named Chuck. Debbie's life might have its moments of modern chaos, but its for the most part controlled and happy. But Debbie has a wee bit of a past.
When she hit puberty, her abilities to grow in size and strength surfaced. An already tumultuous time in a young persons life would prove even more vexing to her. Raised primarily by her hapless controlling single father, Debbie grew up resenting her distant disapproving mother and was further distressed to learn that she was related to the Greek figure Antaeus, who reportedly battled the legendary Hercules. Seeing as this "curse" was also a gift from her mothers side, her teenage angst knew no bounds. She had little direction and no responsibility, so her powers became a dirty secret she'd flaunt when stressed. This resulted in her having a couple run ins with the law even a member of the JLA, who frowned upon her destruction of public property and other petty crimes. This moment inspired her to appreciate her abilities for the gifts they were.
She went to school for a degree in languages, which she had always had a fondness for. Eventually dreaming to work in an embassy in some exotic beautiful country.But the surprise of her first child spurned her and her boyfriend to marry and for her to juggle schooling for a few years before dropping out, two credits short.
Three children and a mortgage later, Deborah's life has seemingly found its chaotic stride and her powers only manifesting in occasional exasperated outbursts. But a longing has recently formed in the back of her mind; a desire to be more than just a mom and address the fear of wasting her potential of her abilities like she did with her college career. He feels a tug to aid others and do good because it's the right thing to do but even more, to resolve her own doubts and fears(and add a little excitement to her life). She has been recently sneaking out at night on some fake errand to sloppily stop criminals she happens upon by using a fraction of her power.
Her more negative personality traits:
She is one for control and propriety. She in some small way, is trying to make up for her sordid teenage past and ensure her children don't make the same mistakes, regardless of whether they possess powers. Debbie becomes selfish, neurotic, controlling and fiery when she does not get her way, but is also often in a hurry for something or else and is usually under a small amount of stress. Debbie's most contributing personality trait is that she is extremely self-appreciating. She centers on her own opinion as though it is the only existent one at all. Debbie can also have a tendency to be incredibly condescending towards people she doesn't like.
Positives of her personality:
She has a slightly goofy sense of humor but is terrible at jokes so she often takes a backseat to the more humorous people around here. She is often prepared and willing to take the initiative or lead in situations. She cares deeply for her friends and family, often willing to sacrifice her well being for their benefit.
She is the most active member of her family and organizes many family and school events. She has a solid sense of right and wrong and wants to use her powers to help others as a sense of global responsibility has surfaced. She overall is a solid team player and will follow someone else's initiative when in unfamiliar territory. Smart, amiable, dependable and vicious to her enemies.
Random facts:
She has a fascination with other cultures, hates ska music, being late & most technology, has a fear of clowns & flying, a love for pasta, women's kickboxing & trashy romanwomen'sls and has a secret crush on David Beckham.
