## History

Kara Danvers (born 1966 as Kara Zor-El) is the daughter of Zor-El and Alura. Kara is also the cousin of Clark Kent, the adoptive daughter of Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers, the adoptive sister of Alex Danvers, ex-girlfriend/friend of James Olsen and Mon-El, the best friend of Lena Luthor, and a good friend of Winn Schott, J'onn J'onzz, Lois Lane, Barry Allen, Iris West-Allen, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Samantha Arias, Felicity Smoak, John Diggle, Nia Nal, Kate Kane, Sara Lance, and the late Oliver Queen, as well as a member of the Crisis team. She was the personal assistant of Cat Grant at CatCo Worldwide Media until being promoted to a reporter for CatCo Magazine.

She was sent to Earth from the dying planet of Krypton to protect her younger cousin, Kal-El. However, Kara's pod got knocked off-course by Krypton's explosion, sending her ship into the Phantom Zone where she slept for 24 years, while being suspended in time and not aging. Her pod later escaped, and Kara arrived on Earth, where she was placed with the Danvers family by a now-adult Kal-El, who was known to the humans as "Clark Kent". She decided to move to National City with Alex and have a normal life, being Cat Grant's assistant at CatCo.

Kara was forced to reveal herself to save an crashing airplane that Alex was. She was nicknamed Supergirl by Cat Grant, and stylized as the "Girl of Steel", the "Maiden of Might", and the "Last Daughter of Krypton". Kara was recruited by the D.E.O., a secret agency Alex works for. She helps the D.E.O. chase down a number of alien criminals that Kara inadvertently helped escaped the Phantom Zone, and later threats that include Project Cadmus, Daxamite invaders, Worldkillers, Agent Liberty and Lex Luthor.

After Red Daughter attacked the White House pretending to be Supergirl, Kara was forced to hide in her civilian persona until her name was cleared. She was nearly killed by a misled Red Daughter, but seeped solar radiation from the flora around her, allowing her to heal. Kara later merged with a dying Red Daughter, gaining new strength that allowed her to subdue the empowered Lex.

During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Kara was revealed to be the Paragon of Hope. She was one of the only surviving individuals from Earth-38 after the destruction of the Multiverse in the Anti-Monitor Crisis. However, thanks to Oliver's sacrifice, she and the other Paragons were able to defeat the Anti-Monitor after Earth-Prime was created.

On Earth-Prime, Kara had to battle the threat of a returned Lex who poisoned her friendship with Lena, along with Leviathan, who sought to conquer the world via technology. After Leviathan's defeat, Kara was sent to the Phantom Zone when she was blasted by the Phantom Zone projector by Lex Luthor. In the Zone, she found the Phantoms, but she was saved with the help of the imp Nyxlygsptlnz and her father Zor-El, who she found out was alive. After a while, they were released by the Superfriends.

## Personality

### Kara Danvers

As a child, Kara was very curious as she learned as much about an alien species and cultures as possible, she also looked up to both of her parents, believing them to be heroes (unaware of their true natures at the time), upon Krypton's destruction, she was devastated by the destruction of a home world and the death of most members of her family. As a teenager, Kara did not get along with her adoptive sister, Alex Danvers (at the time) this was due to Alex's arrogance, immaturity and unfairly blaming her for Jeremiah's apparent death, Kara once stated to a friend Kenny Li (prior to his death) that she has lost individuals she cared about, but she does not go lashing out on the entire world or blaming others for her problems. As an adult, Kara is kind, caring, selfless, intelligent and brave, she has a sense of justice, honor and good morals, however, when she makes mistakes, she feels guilt and remorse for her actions. She is also a dedicated reporter, willing to go to any lengths needed to solve a story and put away the bad guys.

### Supergirl

Due to Kara being a new superhero (at the time) she unfortunately does not have the confidence that her cousin, Clark Kent possesses, she is sometimes short-tempered and lets her emotions get the better of her. But after being a superhero for a year, she gained more confidence in herself and her abilities, and get a better grip on her emotions out on the field. Kara is very forgiving and willing to give individuals several chances hoping to help her aunt Astra find redemption, though ultimately didn't get the chance because Alex killed her when Astra almost killed J'onn, however, despite her adopted sister killing her aunt Kara chose to forgive her. She is also willing to look past Lena Luthor's ties to the Luthor family seeing her as her own person, whereas many are unwilling to look past her relation to Lex Luthor. Despite Kara living on Earth for some time, she has a great understanding of other races and their culture in the universe. While under the influence of red kryptonite, Kara became very cruel and heartless, as she threw Cat Grant off a building, tried to kill Alex and attacked many civilians; as she displayed no guilt or remorse for these vile acts of hers. After being freed from the red kryptonite's influence Kara became very sad and regretful of her actions (tearfully telling Alex she was sorry). Despite loving Kara's parents as a child, since becoming Supergirl, she has learned much more about the individuals they really were, and has become quite disgusted and enraged with them, she learned that Alura used her as a means to arrest Astra for her crimes which ironically were an attempt to save Krypton, as Alura was one of the many who refused to accept it's impending fate, this made Kara especially resentful towards her mother, though she soon considered that her mother believed that the alternative of using Myriad to control the populace was unethical and an action not worth taking, but not to the point of defending her mother's unspeakable actions, she also learned that father, Zor-El developed the Medusa virus as a means to kill all lifeforms other than Kryptonians, as a means to defend Krypton from invasion; the more she learns about her parents' true natures, the more Kara feels ashamed of being their daughter, Kara eventually forgave her mother, after realizing that she repented her inaction, she also ultimately forgave her father after learning of his sacrifice to ensure Krypton could still exist. When Argo was destroyed, Kara was devastated by her mother's death, showing how she had buried the hatchet with her. Kara has a good and loving relationship with her adopted parents; Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers, although she addressed them by their first names instead of as "mom" and "dad", she was devastated when her adopted father had (apparently) died and was happy to later discover that he was alive. Despite her affection, she had no blind spot for her adopted father, because her biological parents had betrayed her in the past; as she became suspicious of Jeremiah after Mon-El informed of his suspicions, regarding her adopted father; that Project Cadmus may have succeeded in turning his allegiance, which turned out to be correct. Kara has demonstrated loyalty to her friends; for example, when everyone else thought Lena broke her step-mother out of prison she refused to believe that she was guilty, also when most members the Legends, Team Arrow and Cisco Ramon didn't trust Barry Allen after he altered the timeline, Kara, Oliver Queen, Jefferson Jackson and Martin Stein still trusted him, mainly because said teams members and Cisco were all being hypocritical; as Kara would have done exactly the same thing Barry did, if she was in an emotional state and not thinking clearly. Kara also cares deeply about her friends and family and will do everything she can to help them or cheer them up when they are sad, and save them even if it risks her own life to do so. Kara is willing to die for her adopted home world and that she is willing to do what needs to be done to save it, whether it's sacrificing her own life, giving up her own happiness, or even regrettably killing someone. On this last point, Kara generally follows a strict "no-killing" rule which has led to some friction with allies who feel deadly force is necessary, such as opposing Imra Ardeen intent to kill the Worldkillers, however, she has been willing to take lives in extreme circumstances; for example, she gave Parasite one more chance to stand down and give up, but he was too far gone and after seeing how dangerous he was, and not having the means to contain him, she had to overload him with so much energy that it destroyed him, another example is when Rhea broke her promise to leave the planet and began to destroy National City, kill the population and threatened to annihilate the rest of the planet, with Mon-El's blessing, she turned on Lex's device filling the Earth's atmosphere with lead which made it impossible for all Daximites to be able to survive on Earth. This killed Rhea and forced her to bring Mon-El, the person whom she was in love with, back to his pod that brought him to Earth and leave the planet, seemingly forever with her mother's necklace to keep him safe wherever he went. After Kara sent Mon-El away during the Daxamite invasion, she became sheltered and distracted, as she was delving into her Supergirl persona, this created a riff in her personal relationships and she started to fall behind her in her job and relationships, Kara has also given up on the idea of finding love and her perfect partner, as she believes that since she isn't human she is above those emotions. But after a while she began to get over Mon-El and return to her old happy-self again. Despite this, Kara has also accepts the fact that she is a Kryptonian and never will be human. Additionally, Kara is accepting of people, as seen when she accepted her adoptive sister for being a lesbian, she later accepted the fact that Mon-El is married to Imra Ardeen and the two will possibly never be together again. She also continued to be kind to Imra despite her pain. Kara keeps her civilian identity a secret from the public (knowing that if her identity is known to the public, it would put both her family and friends' lives in danger from her enemies) after Phil Baker, the new president of the United States ordered her to reveal her civilian identity to public, so it would not affect his approval ratings anymore, when she refused, he fired her from the D.E.O.. Even after Kara discovered that the reason why her cousin, Clark Kent doesn't work with the government because of their secret experiments on alien life, she still continued to work for the D.E.O., however, since been fired from D.E.O., Kara has started seeing the corruption of the government, as her opinion is slowly starting to match Clark's, who doesn't trust the government in general and refuse to work for any government organization for good reason.
