“Nessa!” Fenja screamed.
Lung ignored her and started walking towards Sundancer and I. Fenja rushed to her sister’s side, still carrying Kaiser.

Jessica Biermann,
[5] a.k.a.
Fenja, is a member of the
Empire Eighty-Eight with her sister
Menja.
Appearance
Jessica is, in Taylor's words, a blonde with measurements like a Playboy model. As Fenja, she wears Valkyrie-style armor that features countless steel wings, as well as closed-face helms.[6] She carried a sword and shield.[4][7][8]
Abilities and Powers
Fenja had the same power as her sister,[9] a breaker ability that allowed her to shrink incoming attacks proportionately to her size. When Fenja was first introduced, Taylor described her power as giving her the ability to "grow to be three stories tall", and become "a hundred times more durable"[9] or six times as tall and taking only a sixth of the damage alongside the benefits of being taller. She was also capable of becoming around six times as tall, a little shorter than Leviathan. She and her sister were considered strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Leviathan.[10]
History
Background
Raised by Heith, Kaiser's first wife.[3]
At one point, she had an intense skirmish with Glory Girl.[11]
Story Start
Accompanied Kaiser to the meeting at Somer's Rock[6] and during the raid on ABB territory. Carried her sister and her boss out after they were injured by Lung. At Taylor Hebert's request, she agreed to try and persuade Kaiser not to pursue Bitch's disruption of a dogfighting ring as payment for Bitch saving his life.
Fenja was killed in the battle against Leviathan.[12]

I’d have asked about Dean, but Dean had been injured early enough that I couldn’t imagine that he’d been swept up in the setup or rendered a casualty that might have been avoided if someone like Kaiser or one of the giantess twins had lived. - Beacon 8.2

I scrolled down to confirm my suspicions, the blonde appeared in another picture with her twin sister. Fenja and Menja. - Buzz 7.4

“Heith.”
Justin sighed. Heith was Fenja and Menja’s cousin and guardian, Kaiser’s first wife, killed in a turf war with the Teeth, back in the old days of Brockton Bay. She has powers after all.
Somehow, all of this would be easier if he could believe that Theo was illegitimate. - Interlude 18.y

- ↑ Once I recognized that there was a pattern, I could adjust. Earlier, I’d had to dismiss instinct. Here, old sparring matches against my extended family came into play. There had been brief skirmishes against thugs who were willing to pull a real gun on a teenage girl in costume, and even an intense skirmish against Fenja had its relevance. As I’d moved in time with her giant-sized weapon’s swipes, I flew in general circles while I found the cadence here and they divided themselves by focus. - Gleaming 9.5
- ↑ Fenja down, CC-6. My head snapped up.
I found them. Fenja and Menja were duking it out with Leviathan. Both were nearly as big as he was, which was saying a fair bit. I knew their power warped geometry to make them bigger, simultaneously reduced the effective size of incoming attacks by an inversely proportionate amount. Six times as tall and a sixth of the hurt, on top of the benefits of being bigger.
