The daughter of Swiss banker (who has equal amounts of legitimate and illegitimate activities), Martina was always treated as a princess and revelled in it.  Her parents divorced when she was little, but her father retained custody and soon remarried.  The second wife only lasted a few months and was soon replaced with a third.  Martin never had to compete for her father's attention and the continuous parade of new wives never fazed her.

Martina first encountered magic at a boarding school in Austria.  Her room mate was descended from the Romany and had an over inflated opinion of her magical abilities.  Whilst showing off to Martina, the room mate nearly had her arm ripped off as she opened a fissure in the fabric of space and time.  Martina was impressed.  The room mate was quickly expelled, but Martina managed to keep the girl's books hidden safely in her own possession.

On a trip to the Caribbean with her father, who was checking on some of his illegitimate activities, Martina pursued mysticism in the local community.  Using money and stubborn pride she managed to bribe an old woman into showing her more magic.  The knowledge grew and so did the ambition.  Returning to Europe she decided to call herself the Sorceress and embarked on a series of super hero activities which always ended up with Martina breaking into property looking for more knowledge.  She was soon kicked out of three schools.

When she arrived at Santo Miguel she found herself drawn to Luis Santiago Albelda who was a prince.  She quickly realised that he was only the third generation of the royal line, so her interest faded slightly.  Luis flirted with her and she let him show her things that were designed to impress her and probably lead to more intimate moments.  Martina surprised Luis by transforming herself into his likeness and taunting him that he was in love with himself.

Luis was shocked.  But he quickly composed himself and revealed his own abilities, ripping the wall open and taking her out into the courtyard beyond.  He whispered about retribution, but she didn't really care about taking revenge upon those who had wronged her.  Instead she was drawn to the possibility of using these new friends to help her gain more power.

The Sorceress has gained a fair amount of magic knowledge in a short amount of time.  Most practitioners of magic would consider that a very dangerous situation, especially since Martina is still only sixteen.  There have been bets made amongst the hidden community that she will become corrupted before her eighteenth birthday, and the odds are reputedly very good.  During her short career as a solo hero Sorceress stole a powerful amulet, the Magic Heart Stone, which boosts her ability to wield the magic powers.

Martina is naturally a brunette with fine features and a slightly upturned nose.  She always dresses immaculately and conservatively as Martina, but when she transforms into Sorceress she becomes a wild red-head with very tacky fashion sense.  She loves the fact that she lives a dual life and keeps the two identities as separate as possible - more for fun than a fear of discovery.  She always wears the Magic Heart Stone which is a blood red amulet, and begins to swirl as she wields magic.  The Sorceress wears a green leotard with black bike pants and white leather bands.  Her red hair is always wild and her eyes glow green.

The Sorceress is able to change her appearance easily, as well as the appearance of others.
