Costumed Appearance -
When acting as the hero Sol, Kara has a rather specific costume she chooses to wear out in public. Though unlike plenty of other heroes, Kara’s outfit is not made of advanced materials that are overly meant to fighting or being a superhero. Rather, it's made of the same material which one might use to make cosplay outfits. While high quality compared to most normal clothes one wears around on a day to day basis, the material is nothing compared to that of other materials used by the superheroes. The entire outfit is made from the same stash of material which Kara uses to make the cosplays she known for wearing. Its something that she applies in order to create the outfit which she is so commonly seen wearing.
Sol’s outfit primarily consists of the color white, though it does sport some golden accents and a sort of neon green. Although she has yet to figure out how to make the green parts glow as of yet, that is most certainly on her to do list. The outfit is made up of a corset on top, which is skintight and allows for movement while still showing off a little bit of her body. Then it goes down into a pair of skintight pants tucked into a pair of matching boots. A line of the green runs down the outside edge of each of the pant legs, outlined by the golden accents. She also wears gloves on each wrist that go up to about half her forearm, and cover the middle two fingers. Of course, the part of the glove going back from her hand is also gold. Finally, she also wears a collared white cape featuring the green material and the golden accents on the front of the collar. A silver symbol akin to a triangle, which is what she has chosen as her emblem, sits on the cape. It does not yet, but is one day planned to glow as well.
Sol is often seen as almost being carefree and relaxed when going around doing her superhero work. Often with a reassuring, friendly, smile on her features. Her eyes always seem to be alight with the joys of life, and hope can clearly be seen in her gaze for each and every person she helps. Her shoulder-length, pink, hair is typically worn down as she is running about. Overall, she appears as a young hero who rather enjoys being able to do exactly that, hero work.

Non-Costumed Appearance -
Outside of the costume, the way that Kara dresses is alot more skin to what somebody of her age would wear around. Simple clothing, yet clothing that is always ensured to match and make the girl look good no matter what she is doing. She tends to favor the darker colors because of how they stand out against her light skin tone and pink hair color. The girl is also quite friendly looking, very much keeping the same brilliant smile and twinkle in her eye that she does when running around as a hero. Kara is also a cosplayer/model, meaning that she often has a host of other outfits that she wears for photoshoots. Depending on the outfit, she may also use it for out in public when going to pick up coffee or lunch. Typically she also prefers to wear her hair down when just being simple citizen as well.

Costumed Personality -
When wearing her costume, Kara is a very hopeful young hero. She has a seemingly bottomless good heart, one that shows every time she is active. Sol is the kind of hero who at one moment would stop a bank robber, and the next would be giving food to a homeless man on the streets. She loves the hero life, being able to finally help others and do something about the crime that roots deep within the back alleys of the city. Always seeming confident like nothing in the world could possibly stop her, and a confident grin always on her features. In her eyes, there seems to be an infinite amount of hope hidden behind her eyes. Her mannerisms seem to portray a relaxed persona, making jokes and seeming to ‘talk’ to those she is stopping. That being said, it is also very clear that the girl loves her city, and everybody in it. When others are put in danger, Sol is reliably there to protect the inhabitants and does have hints of anger towards those threatening the peace.
Civilian Personality -
Kara’s civilian personality is much more subdued than her costumed personality. Typically she is quieter and more reserved than she is as Sol. When doing her modeling or cosplay events, the girl is once more outgoing and even a bit flirtatious towards others. She is also highly intelligent, and kindhearted in nature. She can be a bit stubborn at times, and even show a bit of sass towards others. Yet she always tries to show respect towards others when she can. Of course, those damn catcallers on the street still get a middle finger by way of response or maybe even an insult thrown their way.
- SkillsBaking - Kara is an extremely adept baker, having had to help out with a bit of the cooking at the orphanage which she grew up in.

Video Games - Kara is a rather skilled gamer, and absolutely will stomp your K/D into the ground.
- PowersSuper Senses -
A Kryptonian’s senses after such prolonged exposure to a yellow sun are enhanced to the point that they can see and hear events even from orbit. They are also capable of seeing through walls, x-ray vision, and thermal vision.
Superhuman Speed -
While not able to go as fast as a speedster, Kryptonians under a yellow sun are able to move at speeds that are seemingly impossible to beat unless a speedster. Their stamina and reflexes are also enhanced to adapt for this speed.
Superhuman Strength -
Along with the speed obtained from the yellow sun, Kryptonians also become impossibly strong. Their strength is seemingly incalculable, as a result of the yellow sun that seems to power them like some sort of super-battery.
Invulnerability -
Another ability that comes as a result of the yellow sun, Kryptonians are seemingly invulnerable to all sorts of damage. Of course, there are still attacks that can wound Kryptonians despite their seemingly-invulnerable state. These attacks are either very potent, or magical in their nature.
Flight -
Kryptonians are capable of flight, and extremely fast flight at that. Their blistering speeds at which they can fly means the Kryptonians are capable of being anywhere on the planet in a matter of minutes. They are also capable of flying in space, and even surviving that harsh environment without needing to breathe.
Enhanced Mental Processes -
Their physical properties are not the only properties enhanced within the Kryptonians, their mental capabilities are also enhanced. This means that they have exceedingly good memories, allowing them to learn things in near record time. They also are generally regarded as super-intelligent among humans.
Heat Vision -
Kryptonians are capable of channeling solar radiation and firing beams of it from their eyes, an ability that many refer to as Heat Vision. The impact of this beam is capable of causing explosions or melting straight through many objects.
Gene Tailoring -
Kryptonians ranked higher in the castes of their home had access to better gene tailoring. This affected not only their appearances, but also resulted in the abilities the Kryptonians gained from the yellow sun to be slightly altered at times. In the case of Sol, it causes her hair and eyes to glow a slight green when using her powers. Her heat vision is also a sort of neon green.
Protective Aura -
A unique trait due to her genetic tailoring, Sol is capable of channeling the solar radiation in a different manner than just heat vision. Instead she is capable of using it to form a protective barrier in a 6 foot radius around herself of the burning radiation. This is capable of blocking energy attacks coming in and kinetic attacks (such as melting bullets). However, this ability is exceedingly strenuous upon the user. The more damage attempted to absorb, the more it drains Sol. Stopping something such as an explosion will cause her to either drop the barrier or fall unconscious shortly afterwards.
- GadgetsUtility Belt -
This a small golden belt around Sol’s waist which she uses to carry various tools. These tools include basic first aid tools, as well as other convenient little items. It also contains a slot for her cellphone.
- Civilian OccupationKara is a cosplayer and professional model. She also streams sometimes, though typically this is not how she makes money.
- Character HistoryBorn aboard a Kryptonian military ship, Mira Dru-Zod is the sole (living) descendant of the final ruler of Krypton. Zod the Mad. Her mother being a consort of the mad ruler who he had brought aboard the ship as he fled the dying planet. The ruler of Krypton was eager to see an heir brought into this world, with small delusions of ruling Krypton still lingering in the mad ruler’s mind. As such, an heir or heiress was critical to ensuring that his rule continued on after he was no longer the ruler. However, things would not go as was planned for the ruler of the dead planet. However, the young girl remembers nothing of this parent or life onboard the ship. As shortly after she was born, her mother put her child into an escape pod and fired it away from the ship. An act that proved to be her final one, as Zod murdered the woman in a fit of rage after he discovered what she had done.
The pod hurtled through space for a few months before it finally found a home on a new planet within the Sol system. This planet, Earth, was the third from a yellow sun at the center of the system, which would prove to change the baby girl’s life in ways one simply couldn’t imagine. Her escape pod came down in the dead of night in one of the more populated places on the planter, New York City. The pod crashing down in a small park behind an orphanage located in Brooklyn, and was found by one of the caretakers at the orphanage not long after it crashed down due to the noise the impact had caused. Carefully, she had removed the baby from the strange piece of technology when it started to make a strange noise. Barely having enough time to get the child of range, the pod overheated and exploded due to damage it had sustained upon re-entry. From that moment on, the caretaker decided that the child would be raised in the orphanage as a normal human, not the strange being she knew it to be from the odd technology it had arrived within.
For much of her young life, Kara was no different than the other orphans that she lived amongst. A story was made up about her parents dropping her off because they simply couldn’t afford to have a child, and wanted her to have a better life than what they could provide. Even from this young age, Kara made a lasting impression on those around her. Always so full of energy and life, the girl was ever inquisitive. She wanted to learn about everything she could possibly get her hands on, and wanted to befriend just about every other kid living among them. Despite being such a friendly little child, Kara was in her fair share of fights with some of the others that lived with her. Most of these fights coming up because she stepped in when others were being picked on by some of the older kids. This became a recurring theme for much of her childhood, and often enough led to incidents other kids picking on her for trying to step in.
Over the years following these incidents, Kara was enrolled in self-defense classes by the caretakers at the orphanage, since they figured it was better to have the girl at least be able to defend herself against those picking on her. Not long after starting these lessons, a billionaire from Gotham City by the name of Zoey Kasimir seemed to get involved with the little orphanage. Donating a large sum of money towards the place so that it could be improved and offer a better quality of life to those living within its walls. The generosity of the billionaire being something that Kara found truly inspiring as a little girl, and desperately wished she had some manner to pay it back towards others. The idea for how she could pay it back came not long after when Gotham’s own superhero, Grim, stopped by the place to talk with the children there. Delivering inspiring messages to each of them, and giving the young Kara the idea that someday she wanted to grow up to be a superhero like Grim. Thats how she would help all the others!
Yet it seemed hell would come to earth before the girl could even dream of becoming a superhero. The violence of the two-month war tore through the city like a plague, as chaos seemed to be the order of the day. Several of the kids in the orphanage were turned to monsters on that dreadful halloween, and several more never lived to see another day when the newly formed creatures tore a swath of bloody chaos through the orphanage on that halloween. A memory that still haunts Kara, as she clearly remembers hiding under her bed in fear while the thing that had been her best friend was tearing the girls who had been in the room with her to pieces. Where Kara was helpless to do anything to protect the others or turn her friend back from the monster she had become. Later that night when she was still hiding from the monsters, another appeared in the room. Yet unlike the monsters she had been seeing, this new presence did not seem to pose a threat. Instead, it was a somewhat gentle voice coaxing her out from her hiding spot. Telling her that it was okay, that the monsters weren’t coming to get her anymore. Whenever she was finally able to be extracted from her spot, Kara learned that her saviour that night was none other than the hero who had come to talk to the kids not that long ago. Grim. Soon after, the monsters were being turned back into children and some sense of normalcy started to come back to her world.
Yet that night was not the end of it, as over the next two months more kids would disappear from the orphanage at night. By the time it all came to a close, only about a quarter of the children had survived the dreadful experience. Yet at the end of it all, there was still a light as the war came to an end, and once more it was the heroes who had brought them all through the chaos. Another stark reminder to the girl of just who she wanted to be when she grew up, how she wanted to be able to help others in their times of darkness and be that beacon of light.
With the war behind her, the girl was able to grow up a bit more and entered highschool not long after. During this time, she dyed her hair from platinum blonde to the pinkish color she is known for in the modern day as a way to differentiate herself. She also got heavily into cosplay around this time, making costumes based off the anime, comic, movie, video game characters, and even some superheroes she so loved. This distraction allowing the girl a brief escape from the reality that their broken world was a mess, and would never be the same after those terrible two months. Being a rather attractive girl, this of course started to gain some attention for her. In turn, this led to the girl establishing herself on social media then from there she was contacted and brought in for some professional shoots. Soon enough, Kara was working as a model and a cosplay model, making enough money to move out and find herself a studio apartment on the top floor of a building in Queens.
It was then that her powers slowly started to manifest. Suddenly, Kara was able to see and hear things from far away. She was able to see through objects, or see the heat signatures of various things. Then her strength skyrocketed, as she was suddenly able to lift her entire bed
with ease to vacuum under it while cleaning her apartment. As her abilities manifested, Kara took it as her chance to be the light in the dark world that had emerged from the two-month war. Using the skills from the years of making her cosplays, Kara designed a costume for herself. Using the name Sol, after the sun at the center of their system which she felt strongest when it was shining, and because she decided that she would be the world’s light. She then moved out into the streets to help out the citizens of New York City, everything from fighting crime to helping the homeless was under her belt. It was during this time that she also discovered her invulnerability, after she was unharmed despite being shot at nearly point blank with a shotgun blast from some armed robbers.
Sure, the world was full of darkness and crime had spiked following that hell on earth. But now, she had the means to become the light for the world. To bear its burdens so that it might smile one more day.
She is that light for the world. She is Sol.
