KARA ZOR-EL
16 :: Kryptonian :: High School Student/Supergirl
Currently in: Gotham City
Character Background
Born and raised on Krypton, sent away at the age of 15 to protect and raise her baby cousin Kal El on Earth. Her ship got lost in a wormhole and she arrived decades too late.
To keep her safe and help her get used to life on Earth, Clark had her live with Jonathan and Martha Kent on their farm on Smallville for a year. Kara found it boring, but loves Jonathan and Martha dearly for looking after her.
Now moved to Gotham, claiming she wants to study at the High School there which offered her many exciting programs (funded by the Wayne Foundation), but actually so she can spread her wings as Supergirl away from her cousin's watchful eye.
Raw Material
She is very powerful in terms of her abilities, but very bad at using them.
She's girly. On Krypton she was obviously in the popular clique, and here she wants to fit in similarly. As such she can dress a bit too skimpy and be a bit vain. Has many Supergirl outfits as she can't decide on just one.
She can be a bit of a ditz, and doesn't know how to fight in the slightest, relying on her powers.
She's cheerful and upbeat, but secretly very lonely. She misses Krypton a lot, but also Smallville and Jonathan, Martha and Clark more than she'd admit. In many ways, she is the stereotypical teenager living away from home for the first time.
She thinks Earth is ridiculously primitive and sometimes struggles with how basic things are. She can be a bit mocking of Earth tech/culture.
Goes by 'Linda Danvers' in school, but has ditched the brown wig and glasses Clark made her wear in Smallville. Her current disguise is 'well I wear a different outfit' which is not really ideal.
Plot Ideas
Other young heroes! School mates with secret identities!
The more experienced heroes see her making a mess of some rescue due to her inexperience and try to train her.
She starts making a name for herself and attracts unwanted attention.
She gets hurt by the media talking about her (since a young, attractive blonde saving the day in skimpy outfits would get headlines).
Existing Relationships
Clark Kent, Superman - Her cousin. To him, she's the somewhat troublesome younger typical teen. They love each other dearly but sometimes he can get exhasperated by her youthful girlishness. Disapproves strongly of her various Supergirl outfits.
Martha and Jonathan Kent - Her 'Ma and Pa'. Close to them. Loves them a lot, but feels they never let her have any fun.
Wally West - Best friend in Gotham school. Thinks he's dorky and adorable. Purely friends.
Hal Jordan - ? Undecided yet, looks up to him as a Green Lantern and something she's familiar with.
Current Plots
Getting to know Wally West, soon to discover each other's secrets.
Thrilled to meet a Green Lantern, thinking that he'd find Earth as primitive as she does, unaware he's human.
Getting schooled by Deathstroke to learn that powers aren't everything.
