Halo is a light-powered superhero and member of The Team. Originally a Quraci girl named Gabrielle Daou, she was murdered and inhabited by a Mother Box. Since then, they have become a hero and taken the civilian alias Violet Harper.
History
Gabrielle Daou was a refugee Quraci girl who worked at the castle of the Markovian Royal Family. She accepted a bribe to allow in the killer who killed King Viktor and Queen Ilona. She was then captured as a means to erase any evidence. While captured, Gabrielle was tested for the Meta-Gene but her results were negative. The captors then killed Gabrielle through an overdose of morphine and her body was to be buried with several other dead teenagers.
A Mother Box fused with their corpse and Gabrielle was resurrected with incredible powers tied to their colorful aura. Amnesiac and no longer recognizing herself as Gabrielle Daou, they adopted the name Violet Harper suggested by their then future boyfriend Prince Brion Markov, in reference to the violet color of their aura and Will Harper.
As Gabrielle's memories returned, Violet felt guilty about the events that led to the murder of Brion and Tara's parents, which drove them away from their boyfriend.

Trivia
- At first Halo/Violet Harper does not know whether they feel like a girl or a boy inside.[1] They are, technically, a genderless manifestation of the Source (culturally assigned female form), trapped in the shell of a deceased human female. They were consistently referred to with feminine pronouns and has not expressed any other preferences in that regard, nor has she explicitly identified as non-binary.
- Currently, Halo has reached a point in their journey where, despite having no problem with "she" or "her", they think "they" and "their" fit better, feeling that their true gender is non-binary.[2]
- Harper Row considered Violet her best friend.[3]
- Violet dated Geo-Force once, and now they're dating Harper Row.[4]
