The younger sister of Liu Ye, Song Ye was a devious and cruel woman with no capability to empathize with others. She was selfish, heartless and cold to her core. The young woman was used to getting her way within the Flying Dragons Triad, even if it requires breaking the law, or taking a life.

Character History:

Song's father Chang struggled to keep Song out of the Triad affairs for much of her youth, and Song's mother Zhang was instrumental in these affairs. Occupying her daughter with a normal life, a quiet life. It wasn't until the bomb ripped New York in half that Song changed. Watching her mother slowly wither away and die from radiation poisoning fractured her mind, drove away the compassion and care this girl once had.

But she, like her brother Liu, would soon come to learn a greater truth about themselves. In the wake of the bomb, both Song and Liu would discover that they were among the Evolved, that they had a unique gift and talent. That they were destined for greater things. Unaware that their father was Evolved, Liu and Song conspired after their mother's passing to rise in the ranks of the Flying Dragons with their gifts, ones born complimentary to one another, to eventually form an organization that could rival even the Linderman Group.

After Chang Ye was killed by Agent Winters she and Liu proceeded to take charge of the Flying Dragons in a violent manner.

Evolved Human Ability (Cryokinesis)

Song has the ability to supercool water molecules in close proximity (with a radius of approximately twenty feet) to well below freezing. Once the water is cold enough freezing point, regardless of whether it began as a puddle or humidity, she can condense, direct and manipulate it to a limited degree that is generally restricted to objects that she is in direct contact with. If the object is in itself part or mostly water, like a human body, she could theoretically freeze all or part of it solid. If the object is something like a rock, she could freeze a shell of ice around it, even cooling it to the point of brittleness, but not actually change it physically in any other way.

Song's cryokinesis is focused through her breathing for psychological reasons (it's easy for her to envision) as she exhales a cold mist over objects to freeze them solid. Song's abilities do not work in the opposite direction. That is, she can't force ice that she has created to melt or heat water molecules in any way. Additionally, her body temperature is some degrees lower than the average person's. Enough so that she might be considered hypothermic. This only adds to the perception of her being a cold-hearted individual, if not somewhat tackily so.
