Storm’s new backstory -- as per Tamati -- is as follows:
TE UIRA/STORM:
“Hikohiko te Uira, haruru te whaititiri” ⛈
“The flash of lightning, the rumbling of thunder” ⛈
The Urukehu are descendants of an ancestor ‘Urukehu’. Traditions say she was the first to be given the power to control the weather. This power was given to her by the god Tawhirimatea.
It’s told that a descendant would come who would channel and control the full powers of Tawhirimatea himself.
Over many millennia the Urukehu remained hidden, choosing to stay away from conflict. Even as colonisation ravaged people around them.
Te Uira from birth demonstrated abilities far surpassing others of her tribe. Her moods dictated the weather. She honed her skills to enable her to channel lightning, winds and rain. Her control was such that she could fly with the winds.
With encouragement, she traveled the world. Te Uira used her powers where she could to break droughts and avert climate disasters. She even encountered and nourished a sentient living island.
She returned home with a newfound purpose, to use her powers to protect people.
This culminated in her battling alongside the god Thor against invading giants. During the battle she wielded Mjolnir. She connected with the hammer, because like her, it channeled and controlled the power of a god.
Thor said in Asgard she would be a Goddess. Te Uira said her place was here in this world. If needed she would support Thor and others who served to protect.
Footage of the battle surfaced across various platforms on social media. It was here that Te Uira would be given a new name...Storm. A name she would adopt for future adventures.
