Elizabeth Mendel (Guardian Arrowverse: Earth-1)

Emily Elizabeth Mendel II (born c. 1990-1991) is a former citizen of Star City and current citizen of Central City. She is also the youngest daughter of the Queen of Drakonia as well as the true heir of Drakonia, Princess Sei-Gon. Elizabeth is a reformed criminal turned super-heroine who, after discovering her powers after the S.T.A.R Labs Particle Accelerator explosion, becomes the heroine known as Mother Nature. She is the ex-flame of Leonard Snart/Captain Cold and Mark Mardon/Weather Wizard. She also has two kids with Mark, that were born seven months after the Particle Accelerator explosion.

Elizabeth is also best friends with Cisco Ramon/Vibe, Lorelai Ramon/Ice Princess, Selena Merlyn-Rayne/Lunar Wolf, Barry Allen/The Flash, and close friends of Dr. Caitlin Snow/Frost, Dr. Claire Daniels-Allen/Carbuncle, Theo Daniels, Iris West-Daniels, and Ralph Dibny/Enlongated Man. Her love interest is the seasonal incarnation of "Harrison Wells", and the one she has the deepest connection with is Harrison "Harry" Wells of Earth-2.

Early Life
Elizabeth was just an infant when she was sent to Earth after the destruction of Drakonia, where she was adopted by Jacob Mendel. Her childhood was less than ideal which led her to acting up and getting into trouble.

When she was eighteen, she was arrested after an arson incident and was subsequently imprisoned. Elizabeth spent the next two year's in a women's correctional facility, and had gotten early release due to the hard work of one CNRI attorney, Andrea Rayne. However, a condition upon her parole meant Elizabeth couldn't associate with her former criminal crewmates, which included Leonard Snart and Mick Rory. She agreed to the condition and, with the help of Andrea, got a job at Starling City Jitters and was on the path to turning her life around.

Life in Starling City
Elizabeth kept her nose clean of crime for two years while living in Starling City. Due to SC Jitters being a popular hang-out, she soon befriended Selena Merlyn, Tim Drake, Elena Queen, Thea Queen, Rachel Rayne, Roy Harper, and even Oliver Queen at one point. She would always watch the reports on The Hood and The Wolf-Girl and was one of the few percent of people who believed they were protecting the city and not harming it. All the while, she had no idea she was close friends with said vigilantes.

During her time in Starling, Elizabeth caught the eye of bank robber Mark Mardon, who would come into SC Jitters and charm and flirt with Elizabeth, and the two eventually entered into a romantic and sexual relationship.

Moving to Central City
After the events of the Undertaking, Elizabeth and her boyfriend Mark moved to Central City to live a safer life. However, Mark continued his life of crime along with his younger brother, Clyde. The more and more robberies the brother's committed, the more Elizabeth worried they would get caught, or worse, killed.

The day the S.T.A.R Labs Particle Accelerator came online, Elizabeth was hiding out in an old farmhouse Mark and Clyde were using as a safehouse. She had been feeling ill all day, but chalked it up to nerves about leaving town with Mark to start a new life with just the two of them. However, after learning about the casualty of their last job, Elizabeth grew worried that the CCPD would catch all of them. Mark assured her that wasn't the case. That night, as they were fueling up the plane to leave, three CCPD detectives; Joe West, Fred Chyre, and Lorelai Snart, found the farmhouse and Clyde shot at them. As Elizabeth tried to flee, a stray bullet (fired from Clyde) hit her in the shoulder and she went down. She also saw Clyde shoot Detective Chyre in the neck and Detective Snart in the chest, just as a bright wave from the particle accelerator washed over the city. She knelt beside Lorelai and started cry, fearing she was dead. Feeling guilty, Elizabeth sat by Lorelai's bedside while she was in the hospital and apologized for the shooting and the death of Chyre. Elizabeth also silently mourned the death of Mark and found out at the hospital that she was two months pregnant.

Visiting Starling City
A couple months after the particle accelerator exploded, Elizabeth traveled back to Starling City with Lorelai, who was providing protection detail for S.T.A.R Labs employees Dr. Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon. The pair were taking inventory in a company warehouse leased in Starling City. What she thought would be an uneventful couple days, turned out to be the opposite. Late at night, the warehouse was broken into by Slade Wilson/Deathstroke and a security guard was murdered in the process. When Deathstroke saw Elizabeth, Lorelai, Cisco, and Caitlin, he proceeded to chase them with the intent to kill, however, he was blasted back by a combination of fire and ice, which were the result of Elizabeth and Lorelai's powers manifesting for the first time. Elizabeth also saw her old friends, Selena Merlyn, Rachel Rayne, Tim Drake, and Elena Queen during her short visit and informed them that she was pregnant, which they were all really excited about. In a post-credits scene, Elizabeth and Lorelai went to S.T.A.R Labs and told Dr. Harrison Wells about their newfound powers.

Becoming Mother Nature
The night of the Particle Accelerator explosion, Elizabeth was hiding out at the Mardon brothers' safehouse on the outskirts of Central City. She got caught in the crossfire between Mark and Clyde and CCPD detectives Joe, Chyre, and Lorelai, catching a bullet in her shoulder while the brothers escaped. After she was patched up, Elizabeth learned from the doctor that she was two months pregnant, which scared her because she was alone since Mark was [presumably] killed by the accelerator explosion. In the days following the explosion, Elizabeth began experiencing waves of hot flashes and every so often, she would touch something and they would burst into flames.

After fully manifesting powers during an altercation in Starling City, Elizabeth began going to S.T.A.R. Labs to learn how to control her abilities and eventually lead to living a normal life. She spent the next seven months training and during that time, trying to keep her fire abilities under control. While training, Elizabeth became close friends with Lorelai Snart, who helped her throughout her pregnancy, offering encouragement and support and a promise to be there if she ever needed help. Elizabeth also grew close to Dr. Caitlin Snow, who became her personal physician during her pregnancy and labor. During her time at S.T.A.R Labs, Elizabeth also became friends with Theo Daniels and Cisco Ramon, and began forming a faint attraction to Dr. Harrison Wells.

Two months before Barry Allen awoke from his coma, Elizabeth gave birth to twins; Joshua "Josh" Jacob Mendel and Jasmine "Jazzy" Grace Mendel. At first she was scared of being a single mother, but the friendships she had begun to form with Lorelai, Caitlin, Cisco, Theo, and Dr. Wells made her feel at ease and realize she wasn't alone.

The beginning of Team Flash
Balancing her job at CC Jitters, being a single mother to two, and keeping her powers under control was not easy. After learning that Clyde Mardon was alive and a meta-human who could control the weather, Elizabeth teamed up with Lorelai and Barry to take him on. Donning the suits made by Cisco, the three went to the farmhouse on the outskirts of Central City where they faced off against Mardon. While Barry used his speed to unravel the tornado Clyde had created, Elizabeth and Lorelai used their powers of heat and cold that cancelled eachother out and disrupted the tornado's energy. After it's dispersion, Elizabeth was thrown back and her cowl fell off her face. However, before Clyde could shoot and kill her, Lorelai, and Barry, he was shot and killed by Joe, who discovered the truth about their new powers.

After some thought and encouragement, Elizabeth began to think she could do some good with her powers and protect the city from other meta-humans. When Danton Black, a meta with the ability to create clones of himself, goes after his former employer, Simon Stagg, Elizabeth suits up alongside Lorelai and Barry to stop him. During the fight, Elizabeth discovers that she can turn her entire body into flames and uses that to take on multiple clones at once. However, before Black/Multiplex could be apprehended, he committed suicide by falling to his death.

Elizabeth, Lorelai, and Barry officially formed their team when the meta-human Kyle Nimbus/The Mist came out for revenge. During their first confrontation with Nimbus, Elizabeth discovered she could manipulate the element of Air as well, which proved useful for keeping Nimbus at bay in his gaseous state. In their last confrontation, Elizabeth used her wind to disperse The Mist's gaseous form, while Barry used his speed to make sure none of them inhaled the poisonous substance, and Lorelai used her ice to damage Nimbus' physical form. After locking him up in the Pipeline, Cisco named Elizabeth "Mother Nature" due to her elemental manipulation abilities.

Along with an old flame, Leonard Snart, coming back to Central City, Elizabeth is also surprised by the arrival of her friends Elena Queen and Rachel Rayne.

Meeting Team Arrow
During the first ever crossover event, Elizabeth learns the identities of The Arrow, Artemis, and Lunar Wolf, and to her surprise, she knew them all along. After the initial shock wore off, the two teams worked together to apprehend the meta-human Roy G. Bivolo, who has the power to induce rage through eye contact. Combining their various skill-sets, Mother Nature and Ice Princess work with Artemis, Lunar Wolf, and The Arrow to take down The Flash and succeed in bringing him back to his senses. Elizabeth gives a heartfelt goodbye to Selena and Andrea, and promises to keep in touch and send them pictures of Josh and Jasmine growing up, calling them "Auntie Selena" and "Auntie Andrea". Elizabeth also names Andrea as Josh's godmother, as a way of thanking her for helping her get out of prison and keep her on a straighter path.

A few days later, Elizabeth goes back to Starling City with Lorelai, Caitlin, and Cisco to help them with their case of a boomerang-wielding killer. It's there she sees, in person, that Tim and Roy are also working with Team Arrow as the vigilantes Robin and Arsenal. As Mother Nature, Elizabeth helps in tracking down Digger Harkness, a.k.a Captain Boomerang (named by Lorelai this time around) and partners up with Tim and Selena in the field. As an early Christmas present, Elizabeth gives small, framed photographs of Josh and Jasmine to Selena, Elena, and Andrea.
