Origin

Transformed by “Terrigen Mist” this race of super powered humans live in isolation and do not trust other humans. The Inhumans are a races of beings that split from humans 25, 000 years ago after an alien race called the Kree used primitive man for their own experiments hoping to create a super powered army for themselves. When the Kree left the Inhumans were left on Earth.

Tonaja is a younger member of the Inhumans, and was a member of the same group of Inhuman children studying with Dinu, Neifi, Woz, Nahrees, Kalikya (Tonaja's best friend), and Telv (although Telv would be held back leaving onky the six to graduate that year). Together they would learn about Inhuman history and culture before the sacred ritual of Terrigenesis--a rite of passage for young Inhumans that will unlock his true genetic potential. Tonaja was paired up with Neifi during their studies. Tonaja is jealous of her classmate Nahrees, who is paired up with the rather attractive Dinu. Despite Dinu interest, Nahrees ignored his interest. Tonaja writes in her journal about her jealousy of (and rivalry with) Nahrees, as well as her fears about being exposed to the Terrigen mists. She fears what she may become and wonders what she will look like after the transformation.

The night before Terrignesis while Nahrees, Neifi, and Dinu would play a trick on Lockjaw, Woz, Tonaja, and Kalikya decided to spied on the cell of Maximus the mad (Black Bolt's insane brother). The group decides that he is far too creepy and leaves, but not before Maximus can gain mental control over Woz. Before terrigenesis, Tonaja talks with her grandmother about her fears and apprehension. Her grandmother calms her and assures her that while frightening everything will go well.

The day of terrigenesis can be a day of many mixed emotions for those involved. Under the watch of Carthus, Tonaja is exposed to the terrigen mists. Her skin burns, and grows over with a layer of green scales. Tonaja's hair turns thick and brown and she grows large, thin brown wings from her back. She breaks out of the terrigenesis chamber and stretching her wings flies high. She is the first flyer born into Inhuman society in over 60 years, a proud moment for her family. Woz is not as fortnate, and changes into the form of an Alpha Primitive. This change is an embarrassment and he is mourned as dead. Kalikya's hands and become elongated and she appears to have no other power. While the transformation has prepared Tonaja for an important life, Kalikya is relegated to a life of unimportance, a terrible fate for an Inhuman. Tonaja tells Kalikya that they can no longer be friends.

Woz's terrible transformation was due to the control of Maximus, and he begins changing and developing his powers in the underground living space of the Alpha Primitives. War with human forces orchestrated by Maximus breaks out and Tonaja as well as Nahrees and Dinu become a part of the Royal Guard and are trained under Gorgon himself. On the front lines, Dinu breaks out of the protective telekinetic shields to assist the front line defenses. He is nearly fatally wounded, and Tonaja rushes to his aid and rushes him back to safety. It was here she encounters Kalikya again who is using her powers to heal the wounded from battle. Kalikya is able to heal Dinu enough that he will survive. Feeling bad for turning her back on her former best friend, Tonaja extends an offer of friendship to Kalikya. Kalikya, still hurt, rejects Tonaja's offer of friendship.

By this time Woz has fully evolved to his true Inhuman form and was released from Maximus' control. Woz is capable of teleporting by moving through reflective surfaces such as mirrors. Woz and Tonaja develop a romantic relationship. Later, Tonaja is drafted into a mission to Earth in an attempt to integrate a small group of Inhumans into human culture. Tonaja does not want to go but Woz convinces her that it is her destiny. As a gift, Woz gives Tonaja an old mirror which is a family relic. Tonaja watches Woz in the mirror as she flies away from the comfort of Attilan to the Earth. There she becomes a student at an American university. Tonaja, who is considered quite beautiful among Inhuman culture is seen as odd by Humans. This pains her deeply.

Powers

Tonaja has tough green scales covering her entire body. Her hair is thick and brown/red eyes. She has brown wings which are as large as her body which can be retracted into her back to a very small remnant. These wings allow her to fly in both the gravity of the Moon and the Earth. She possesses superhuman strength and durability, as well as enhanced speed while flying.
