Personality

Selfish. Manipulative. But always beautiful. Such words can be said to describe Tracy Strauss. She is a woman of power, and recognizes it quicker than the untrained eye. She will stop at nothing to achieve ultimate power in any form, and as such, aligns herself with men who are capable of attaining it where she may not be. She is not shy about looking out for her own self-interests, which can be both a strong quality of hers as well as a flaw, for her self-centered way of living makes it just as easy to manipulate her as it is for her to manipulate others.

Power

Tracy possesses the ability to freeze objects which allows her to reduce the temperature of matter at will. She is capable of freezing human beings as well as inanimate objects including a rose, a telephone, and glass.

When using her power, Tracy appears to absorb the heat from an individual instead of emitting cold. Also, while she is able to create sub-zero temperatures, Tracy herself retains body heat.

Despite having been frozen solid and shattered, Tracy was still able to move a single eyelid and shed a tear.

Tracy has also demonstrated an ability that allows her to physically become water, as well as generate water outwardly from her body. It is not yet known if this is due to a new power, or an evolution of her initial ability. It appears that she is not able to make her clothes become liquid, and is rendered nude when she transforms.

Relationships

Family

	Niki Sanders is Tracy's biological triplet sister, separated at birth. It wasn't until recently that Tracy met Niki and, after having met Jessica's personality and being threatened by her, she fled Niki's Las Vegas home with no intention on seeing her sister again.
	Barbara is Tracy's biological triplet sister. Little to nothing is known about Barbara, and Tracy has not met her thus far.

Friends

	Noah Bennet is the man who saved Tracy from Elle (Wrong Place, Wrong Time). He informed her of her triplet sisters, as well as provided an explanation as to how to avoid being captured by Elle and The Company.
	Hiro Nakamura met Tracy when he stopped by Nathan's campaign office in hopes of warning him about the explosion. He found Tracy, and when he and Ando tried to flee with her files, she attacked Ando by trying to freeze him. Hiro saved Ando by teleporting he and Tracy to Japan circa 1979, and when he saved Tracy from being shot by a group of thugs, she made a 'promise' to introduce him to Nathan.
	Elle Bishop is a woman who Tracy has had quite a few run-ins with, but it wasn't until their recent escape from being incarcerated that the two worked together and came to a mutual understanding for one another. She even let her in on some of the Company's history, which opened Tracy's eyes to the world around her.

Enemies

Matt Parkman is the cop who tried to arrest Tracy and Elle under suspicion of laying waste to the Panera Bread. When he came to see Tracy in her office after the mysterious murder of the two cops that were instructed to transport them to the cell, he almost met a chilly end. Tracy Strauss is not a fan.

People of Interest

Nathan Petrelli is Tracy Strauss' client and romantic interest. The two bonded over dinner and hadn't seen one another in quite some time until Las Vegas, where they met with Linderman together. Tracy is determined to convince Nathan to let the explosion occur so that she is free of capture by The Company, and so that he can become President and she, possibly, his First Lady.

Memorable Quotes

"You're going to tell me why you're following me. And then maybe I won't turn you into the ice at the bottom of my mojito."

- To Elle (Wrong Place, Wrong Time)

"You may have yourself a family, Niki. You may have yourself a home. But soon, you'll be more alone than you've ever known. There was something else…something I didn't get to tell you. But I'll let you figure that out on your own, Stripperella. Enjoy your broken bats. Hope you fair half as well as I will. And, looking around, I'd say you'd be doing twice as well as you already are."

- To Jessica (Family Reunion)

"We've got to get to the bottom of this, Nathan, or we're just going to be pawns in someone's game of Chess. And, sorry, but I don't do pawn very well — I like to get in the game."

- To Nathan (Secrets And Lies)

"Excuse my French, Officer Parkman, but this is bullshit."

- To Matt (Panera Aftermath)
