Vulnerable Bulwark

Chrissie is the host of a Machine Core, which allows her to transform into the android hero Bulwark Violet. She rushes in to assist the other Bulwarks in their hour of need against deadly foes, but she's always stopped short of joining them. To do so, she'd need to reveal her true identity, and she's too afraid of being ostracized as a closeted trans girl to ever trust them. Friends simply aren't something she can afford right now, no matter how much they insist she can trust them.
