HEMERA

HEMERA
By Arthur L Burton III

GENRE: Fantasy, Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

A hotheaded teen wants to be a superhero and gains inhuman strength from a whilom spirit, her family needs her help, but she denies her namesake and unless she accepts the truth, they'll all perish.

SYNOPSIS:

“Hemera,” is like the female version of Spiderman. Hemera is about a teenage girl who is unpopular in school. She would rather read a book then dress pretty and hang out with the popular crowd.

“Hemera,” is original and is an introduction of our teenage superhero. She wears a scarf around her face to hide her identity and she has a passion for helping others. She has a goal and she is her own antagonist because of her immaturity and bad temper, and her not believing the whilom spirit inside of her is telling her. She is renowned for not being able to hold her head and since she is a martial artist trained by the female MMA champ, so she is dangerous but her anger makes her reckless and a reactor rather than a thinker. Even with her fighting ability a group of girls in school bully her because she looks different. In the lunchroom they go to far and our hero loses it and attacks a teenage girl and hurts her badly.

Her mission is to help her family of the past because a family tragedy causing them to flee their time and escape to the future. Our hero still refuses to believe that she is anything more than a skillful fighter. Instead of her concentrating on stopping what is threatening her family she consistently jeopardizes herself and her identity to help people in the present time because this is what she cares about.

In order for her to succeed in her goals she has to control her temper, lost her immaturity, and realize the one that she talks to in her mind is of her own spirit. Her sister who she believes is just her trainer and friend has known the truth about her all along but believes her immaturity is going to get her killed so she only shares what she believes our hero needs to know.

During a life a death battle our hero is hurt, defeated and wants to give up. She has minutes to realize that she is the one, and she can defeat anything because she is Hemera and that her wrath is stronger than those who oppose her. Now she has minutes to make a choice to either believe the truth about herself or deny and perish along with an entire world of the past.

Your logline is on the right track. It has the character, the conflict and the goal. I'd just play around with the wording a little to make it flow better and make it sound like the odds are against her.
