## Biography: (Written by Author-X)

### Childhood: 1966 - 1977

Born August 15, 1966 as Kara Zor-El to Zor-El and Allura In-Ze in honor of her aunt Kara Seg-El (Karen Starr as we know her). She grew up on Krypton alongside her best friend Thara Ak-Var. While growing up, she heard many stories of Karen and looked up to her. In 1975, Kara was chosen to be a candidate to be the new Flamebird but the following year Thara was chosen over her.

In 1977, her cousin, Kal-El, was born. Later that week, her parents and her Uncle Jor-El and Aunt Lara Lor-Van had an important discussion and Kara had to take care of Kal. She eavesdropped on the conversation which was when she found out Krypton was going to explode. Furthermore, she heard that Jor-El and Lara had stolen two pods for Kal-El to escape in. When asked what the second pod was going to used for, Jor-El stated that Lara was going with Kal. This caused an argument between the two couples with Zor-El and Allura stating that Kara should go alongside Kal. This caused Kara to enter the room and shout that she would go alongside Kal.

After some discussion between the adults, it was decided that Kara would go alongside Kal. Her pod had some space for some personal belongings but she chose to take her dog, Krypto with her instead. When Krypton exploded, the wave of energy created a portal that pulled her into the Phantom Zone.

### Journey to Earth: Mid 2003 - Early 2004

26 years later, when Zod escaped the Phantom Zone he also unknowingly pulled Kara out of the Phantom Zone. Since the ship used a lot of it's energy for the prolonged stasis, the journey took longer than intended to get to Earth. For the next few months, Kara was flying through space to get to Earth.

### Kara Danvers: 2004 - 2005

When Kara arrived on Earth, her pod landed in the Atlantic Ocean near Metropolis. Clark flew and grabbed the pod out of the ocean and took it to the Fortress of Solitude. There he ripped open the hatch and out came Kara and Krypto. Clark did not recognize who Kara was but Karen recognized her as her niece. Kara also recognized Karen and jumped towards her and gave her a hug. She then asked who Clark was and Karen explained that Clark was Kal-El. Kara looked at Clark and was shocked at how Clark was the infant cousin she was sent to protect.

Afterwards, Clark and Karen decided that Kara would stay in the fortress for some time so she could adjust to this new world bye learning of it. She was also taught to speak English. During this time, Karen told her about her time on Earth and her human experiences. So they bonded during this time and Kara saw Karen as a mother figure.

So after a few months, Clark took Kara to the Danvers, his adopted aunt Eliza and uncle Jeremiah in Midvale who adopted Kara as Kara Danvers. She would bond with her adoptive sister, Alex Danvers. And she even enrolled in Midvale Junior High School. Later that year, Jeremiah disappeared (presumed dead).

### Girl of Steel: 2005 - 2010

At age 13, her powers manifested during lunch at her school when she began hearing all of the noises in the school and her eyesight was shifting between her x-ray vision, normal eyesight, and her heat vision. So Kara was taken home and Clark was called. Afterwards, Eliza called Clark so Clark could help her. A few minutes later Clark arrived and decided that Kara would have to have some training that it would take place at the Fortress.

When they arrived at the Fortress, Kara was greeted by Karen who Clark had called to help. Her first lesson was to be calm, when she did so, she was able to stop hearing everything. It also helped with the eyesight but that took more concentration so it fluctuated between normal eyesight and x-ray vision. So Clark gave Kara some lead lined glasses. Over the next two years Kara would train her powers.

So in 2007, when Clark was battling Doomsday, Karen suited up for the first time in a longtime. When Karen was suiting up, she revealed to Kara her own suit. So Kara suited up and made her debut as Supergirl. She and Karen were able to hold back Doomsday in time for an injured Clark to knock out Doomsday. Clark told Kara and Karen to get the Phantom Zone generator which they did and used it to lock Doomsday in the Phantom Zone.

When the four new Super"men" came out, Karen told Kara to not do anything. So Kara just continued her normal life. When Clark came back, Kara was ecstatic that Clark was alright. Later that year, Kara and Clark teamed up with Batman and Batgirl, starting a friendship between Babs and Kara.

The following year, Kara stayed with the Kents to protect them from the army of Parademons. That same year Kara joined the second generation of the Teen Titans. In 2009, Kara and the Titans together took down Raven's father Trigon. Also that year, Kara learned that Argo City survived the explosion of Krypton when the Fortress detected it. So Karen and S.T.A.R Labs built a ship based on Kryptonian tech (S.T.A.R Labs had been studying Kryptonian tech for some time but Karen helped them fully understand it) to reach Argo City.

Kara elected herself to go but Karen would not let her. After some discussion, Karen decided to let Kara go only if she gets to go as well. After a month of creating a high tech space suit just in case, it was ready. When the day of the launch came, the Parasite had escaped and Karen went to confront him. But Kara chose to stay and left on her own.

When she arrived at Argo City a few days later (Argo City was closer to Earth than Krypton plus the ship was faster than the pods Clark and Kara arrived in), she was ecstatic to see Argo City. Once she had landed on the city, she was greeted by a familiar face... that of her mother's, Allura. Kara embraced Allura in a hug and explained what had happened. It was then that Allura explained to Kara that Zor-El was not able to make it. Kara was disappointed at the news but chose to look at the bright side that her mother was still alive. So for the next few days, Kara told Allura everything that had happened since Kara was sent to Earth. But of course, Kara could not stay forever and had to leave, but before she did Kara helped set up a communications system between Argo and the Fortress (the technology to do so was loaded onto the ship originally).

### Maiden of Might: 2010 - Present (2016)

In 2010, Kara went to save some civilians put in harms way and during this she was shot with a ray of a mix of Red and Black Kryptonite. This resulted in Kara being split into two, her normal self and a dark version named Brutaal. When Brutaal saw Kara, she immediately attacked Kara. Brutaal brutally beat Kara and when she noticed Kara had been unconscious, Brutaal flew away. When Kara regained conscious, she went to the Hall of Justice to get Clark's help.

When she arrived at the Hall, Clark wasn't there but Wonder Woman was. When Kara asked if Clark was around, Diana said he wasn't there. But Diana noticed the trouble looked on Kara's face and asked what was wrong. Kara and explained everything and Diana came up with a plan. All of a sudden the alarm went off and Diana went to check what was wrong, she saw that Brutaal was fighting some League members and holding her own. So Diana and Kara went to go help.

Once Kara and Diana had arrived to the scene, Brutaal noticed Kara and went straight to her. This time Kara was able to hold her own, but it was evident that Kara was losing. So Diana enacted her plan and used the lasso to tie the two together. She then asked who the true Supergirl was which is when it was revealed that when Supergirl was hit with the ray, it just didn't clone her, it split her into two. When asked the question, the two merged back together and the true Supergirl was formed once more.

Later that year, Kara left the Titans in the wake of Jason Todd's death. So she went to Argo City for a few weeks to handle her grief. When she returned she found out that Alex had moved to National City. So Kara decided to move to National City alongside Alex. In the aftermath of becoming her true self and the death of Jason, Kara decided she was no longer Supergirl. So she decided to become... Galatea. She also enrolled in National City University. During this time, Karen was setting up the California division of StarrWare so Kara got a job there as Karen's assistant. Also during this time, Kara met Lena Luthor and would become friends with her.

In 2011, after spending a few days in Argo, a group of Kryptonians followed Kara back to Earth. While on Earth, they began searching for a worldkiller. Once they landed on Earth, Samantha Aries' Kryptonian side, Reign was awoken. While the Children of Juru were searching for her, Reign began "cleansing" National City of it's "sin". Kara confronted her but Reign had the upper hand and beat Kara into unconsciousness. When Kara came to, she saw that Reign was gone and that the symbol of the Children of Juru burned into the rooftop where they fought.

A few weeks later, the Children of Juru found Samantha and used a rock called the Harun-El to suppress the human side so Reign could be more in control. A few days later, Kara was battling Reign and was able to weaken her with some Kryptonite which allowed Samantha to temporarily assume control and explained to Kara what happened before Reign took over again and flew away.

After deeming Samantha a liability, the Children of Juru used the Harun-El to separate Samantha from Reign and cast her aside. Kara confronted Reign and tried to reach Samantha which is when she found out that Reign and Samantha were separated. Kara then deduced that the Harun-El was black Kryptonite, Kara handed Samantha the Harun-El and told her to hit Reign with the Harun-El. Once she did, Reign had "died".

In 2012, Kara would save the lives of some criminals before finding out that the person attempting to kill them was a cybernetic Kryptonian. When he finally appeared to her, Kara was shocked to find out that the cybernetic Kryptonian was actually her father Zor-El. When asked why he was doing this, he revealed that he was trying to "protect" Kara by attempting to kill potential threats to Kara. She asked him to stop but he declared he still would not stop protecting her. Kara reluctantly made a deal that Zor-El could stay as long as he never killed anyone. Zor-El agreed to the deal.

But a few days later, Brainiac-8 was sent after Galatea in an attempt to kill her. Kara did not want to battle her as there were multiple innocent bystanders near them. Brainiac-8 lunged at Kara but was intercepted by Zor-El who tore Brainiac-8 in half. Shocked at what had happened, Kara told Zor-El to leave and never come back. After he refused to do so, Kara began counting down from 10 in Kryptonian. By the time she had reached the number 7, her eyes began glowing and Zor-El noticed the danger and fled. Kara fled from the scene and flew to her and Alex's apartment where Alex comforted her.

In 2013, Lex sent an army of LuthorBots against Clark so Kara, Karen, Conner, Mia, and Chris helped him take them down. They would take down the main army while Clark would go against the head LuthorBot. In 2014, Kara helped the League against the threat of the OMACs. She also battled Livewire and Silver Banshee. In 2015, Kara would help Clark against Toyman and Prankster. The following year she helped the League battle Darkseid and his army. Once the battle once done, Kara was admitted into the League.
