In another world and time…well actually another world and THIS time…lived a young woman named Laura Kent. Her parents were Clark Kent, Television Anchor and secretly the World's Greatest Hero, and Lois Lane, a newspaper reporter.
Laura always felt like a disappointment to her parents, not that she felt any less loved, but she always knew she would never measure up to her father, since she had no super powers. That is why she chose to emulate her mother, even to the point of becoming a cub reporter at the Daily Planet.
On her parent's 20th wedding anniversary, things changed. She discovered she could rip open a locked steel desk with her bare hands, see through a bus, hear her mother crying in the bathroom (due to being upset about finding she is pregnant just when she was preparing to resume a more active career), and remove a holographic display and replace it with another faster than the human eye could follow.
Laura decided not to interrupt her parent's anniversary by sharing her news. She further decided to test her limits before discussing her powers with her parents. That was a mistake as she wound up here, in this world, with no notion how to get back to her own…
Super Strength: Laura is roughly a hundred times as strong as she looks. She can pick up a car…possibly even a bus, but a train engine is well beyond her. She can rip light steel and smash stone, though something like breaking through a vault door would take her lot of time and effort.
Super Speed: Laura is almost as fast as her father, it seems to be the only trait she has inherited in full. She can easily exceed the speed of sound and move so fast she can become invisible to the human eye. The applicable term is "Faster than a speeding bullet", and she literally is. She is fast enough that she has to be careful about pushing her speed, because if she is not she might wind up in orbit with no easy way down. Not to mention the time/dimension travel thing…
Super Senses: Laura can see hundreds of feet, through a bus, and through a car door to clearly see who is inside said car. She can hear a person quietly sobbing in a closed room in a house a considerable distance away. The exact limits of her senses are not yet defined, but are far superior to those of a normal human and include x-ray vision, telescopic vision, extended hearing, and directional hearing at the very least.
Resonance Aura: Laura clearly has inherited some degree of the Solar Resonance Aura that gives her father his powers. This aura is created by the very cells of her body as a natural defense mechanism to keep it from burning itself out from the energy it produces. The aura spreads a variable distance beyond the body and allows such feats as absorbing solar energy when the body is 90% covered in clothing, protecting clothing from friction when moving at super speed, preventing sonic booms, and letting someone lift a bus without sinking into the pavement or ripping the bus to pieces. This probably provides her with some degree of protection from conventional harm, particularly from heat, friction, blunt impact, stress, and solar energy, though the exact limits have not been established. It may be assumed that the ability to produce energy internally that this aura represents allows a degree of direct solar metabolism…so it is likely requirements for food, water, and air are substantially reduced. Her ability to heal from damage is also, similarly, likely to be increased, though to what extent is unknown.
Reporter: Laura is a reporter, trained to interview people, corroborate evidence, research, and to write. Her Editor tells her she is pretty good, despite her age, though it is possible he is stringing her along.
Laura has currently only one notable resource, her Com Link. This is a combination tablet computer and cell phone from her home dimension. It has had a sim card put in by Blue Beetle that allows it to work with local cellular networks, though Laura still needs to pay for a cell phone account. Other than this, she has the clothes on her back and her costume (which is standard cloth).
Disappointment: Laura has always felt that she is a disappointment to her parents. A Child of the World's Greatest Hero with no powers, she reacted by trying to emulate her mother. Now that she has powers, she is determined to live up to her father's legacy.
Impatient: Laura is a teenage child, and patience is not her string suit. She ripped open a steel drawer rather than asking someone for the key and tested her powers rather than telling her father and waiting until he could help her test them safely. Her impatience causes her to act without proper forethought, and thus she gets herself in trouble.
Nice: Laura is a nice girl, Friendly, a bit Naive, possibly too Trusting. She is, however, wise enough not to judge thing bu their surface appearance, it is just that she tends to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they have proven they do not deserve it.
Curious: It is not ONLY that she was emulating her mother that made Laura become a cub reporter. She is curious and investigates anything interesting. If she sees something that seems out of place, she tends to poke her nose in.
Red Sun: Laura Kent is part Kryptonian, the means she uses to generate energy requires absorbed stellar energies to jump-start the process. However, the energies of a Red Sun can not be absorbed. Further, if she is under multiple suns and one of them is a Red Sun, it blocks her ability to absorb energies. As she can not absorb Red Sun energies, any energy attack with "Red Sun" in the descriptor bypasses her defenses, treating her as a normal human.
Kryptonite: The Substance Kryptonite produces energies on a frequency that creates a negative resonance in beings with a Kryptonian Bio-Energy field. The most common form, Green Kryptonite, causes a slowly increasing cascade release of stored stellar energies internally that can prove fatal in as little as 3 minutes of exposure, and causes extreme pain and loss of powers in the process. Other isotopes have differing effects, but it may be presumed Laura is vulnerable to all forms of Kryptonite because she has the energy generation abilities that they effect.
Magic/Psionics: Magic and Psychic powers treat Laura as human, she has no special defenses against such powers. It is a flaw common to Kryptonians.
Energy Venting: While Laura has the ability to absorb Stellar energies and uses them to provide herself with power, there is a maximum amount of energy she can handle at once. If something were to provide her with more energy at once than she can handle…say Starfire hitting her with full power starbolts…it would, in theory, force her to immediately vent the excess energy. It is most likely that ths would result in an blast of uncontrolled Heat Vision that would hit whatever she happened to be looking at. She could, theoretically, be used as an assassination weapon, if someone gave her such an energy charge while she was looking at a person they wanted to target. Laura has no idea that this flaw exists (so far).
