AMBIDEXTEROUS
Akela is ambidexterous (possessing no tendancy to favor one hand over the other). Because of this she is capable of using either hand with equal ability for any task.

ATTRACIVE
Akela is an attractive woman who is capable of turning heads even in a city like Los Angeles where beautiful people are common. She is tall and has a lithe but still shapely in the ways men look for. At the same time she is not so "stacked" that it interferes in the natural grace and carriage of her movements. Her eyes are also a component of her appearance that is memorable, as they are a shade of purple - a color most people are not used to seeing for eyes.

CLONE
When Akela was sixteen she stumbled upon a long lost cache of Atlantean magic and technology. Following its last directions, this complex took her and created a physically augmented and nearly immortal clone body. It then transfered her mind (which had been recorded before the cloning occured) into the clone body. The original body was then disposed of before the base shut down from power loss.

Akela does not know this information, but anyone with technological understanding may be able to deduce it from the story of her having been spoken to by herself (the original who may have been told what was going to happen as a "magical rebirth" process). Additionally, any advanced laboratory (such as those at Project Cadamus or S.T.A.R. Labs) could determine the fact that she is a clone by detecting minor abnormalities in her genetic code that act as indicators of cloning.

HEALING
Akela's tribe of Atlantean descendants all heal at accelerated rates when compared to normal humans. In Akela's case, she heals at twice the rate of a normal human. This can be increased by medical aid and a doctor trying to predict her healing rate would have to keep in mind that the doubling occurs after calculating in the time for the treatment.
