The user's hands stay at a resting temperature of 810 K (537.78 °C) and can ignite small flames by the tip of her fingers to mimic a welding torch to fuse, cut or melt items depending on the flame created. Her hands can rise in temperature up to 3400 K of heat ( 3126.85 C )
Limitations:
> her hands resting temperature is always wild, she can’t touch anything barehanded without ruining and or/hurting it. Accidentally raising the temperature has happened before as well, so she needs to stay vigil.
> metal fume fever is a common problem, she gets welding shivers even without the metal present if she over uses the little flame perk or manages to hit overheating (staying at max temperature for too long or excessive fire ignition with no break).
> metals like tungsten and other stainless steels are materials she can’t melt through.
> she can burn herself with her hands/she is not immune to her own fire
Primary Course Focus: Support
Personals
Personality:
Ursula considers herself self reliant, as she's hesitant to ask for help from others and genuinely leads her life on a more logic based path. She doesn’t want to waste time on things that will not benefit her or her projects and prefers the company of other like minded, intuitive people. Not to be confused with an over worker though, or achiever. Ursula WILL waste time on something or someone that will benefit her mood - which leads her into her own tug-o-war based on impulse and self standards. Ursula is a sociable person, and relies on that extroverted aspect for her own benefactors; despite it all and her self put weight, she wants to see life from a more positive lens and have fun with it.
She's got a bit of a blunt, snobbish aura to her - and going hand in hand with that also comes across as rude or self centered to others. Ursula's lack of care for these opinions only adds more wood to the fire in her wavering friendliness. Her impulse control comes back into play when comments pop into her brain that maybe, shouldn't be perceived outside of her own thought but... oh well...

History:
Ursa grew up with her father, after her parents divorced and he gained full custody. Vito was a prominent upcoming prohero so most of her life was spent hyping herself up about her hopeful quirk and watching her dad kick butt. Vito went pro for real, and not long afterwards Ursula’s own quirk showed up. It started by just her fingertips - she’d melt and burn anything they touched, setting small accidental fires until her father was able to gather connections and get her materials to wear that would prevent her from hurting herself or others.
She grew up fascinated and inspired by the heroes who worked endlessly to meet her accommodations as she grew and so did her quirk - it overtook her entire hand in no time and every so slightly creeps up her arms as the years go on. Ursula’s admiration for the craft turned into love and she began blueprinting her own ideas on how to maintain her quirk and use it to it’s best capabilities. She got really into welding, of course, and car maintenance--learning the engineering behind all sorts of mechanicals while also diving into scrap yard sculpting...just for fun!
Vito was recruited for help in the first Boston takeover, obscuring the blockades and returning to the city to help rebuild and secure it. Having no other option, he had to bring Ursula along and she finished out school in a private Boston academy. Then scylla hit the streets, and the copper jackals - Ursula had the horrific ordeal of watching her father become one of the many victims who vanished amongst the chaos only to resurface a husk of his old self after the schuyler students worked their magic. She was endeared, and terrified all at once. Vito had been her only support system and now he was the one desperately in need of her support. She looked for internships, found a pro to study under and at last took her last steps to send in an application to Schulyer itself, she had to build up her own resume in order to help her father...
Extras:
> the gloves she wears have a built in cooling mechanism to combat her hands constant ridiculous temperature with the goal of letting her hold onto things without burning through them. The upkeep is tedious and she is still nervous about touching anyone in fear of accidentally hurting them or a malfunction.
> she has a really cool really cute modified coupe, loves to show off the heart steering wheel
> shopping cart coffin
> is dummy smart with mechanical engineering
> her body by default runs at a higher temp then most, she is always toasty
