## Physical & Personality Description

Lian-Yu Nguyen possesses a striking appearance that combines her parents' unique features. She has inherited her mother's alluring almond-shaped eyes, which shimmer with an intense emerald hue. Her silky, red-strained-black hair cascades in loose waves down to her shoulders, framing her face with an air of elegance. Lian's complexion is fair and unblemished, adding a sense of youthful innocence to her overall demeanor. Standing at an average height, she possesses a lean and athletic build, a testament to her rigorous martial arts training. Lian often dresses in a combination of practical combat gear and street-style clothing, favoring a mix of dark colors and functional accessories.

She possesses a resilient and determined spirit, forged by the tragedies she has endured and the responsibility she feels to honor her father's legacy. Lian is driven by a deep sense of guilt over her father's death, which fuels her motivation to make a difference in the world and protect the innocent. Despite lacking superpowers, she compensates with unwavering discipline and an unwavering commitment to mastering various martial arts disciplines.

## History

Following her mother's retirement from villainy, she opened a foster home with the support of Chloe Lee-Hu, also known as Shado, and Sandra Wu-San, known as Lady Shiva. This foster home fulfilled her father's dream, and Lian grew up alongside Reid Lee-Hu and Emiko Lee-Hu, considering them her siblings. The bond she formed with her foster family became a significant part of her life.

Tragedy struck when Lian lost her father during a confrontation with the villain Prometheus. Roy sacrificed himself to save Lian from a collapsing building, leaving her with a deep sense of guilt and loss. This event brought Lian and her mother closer together as they both struggled with the aftermath. Lian's motivation to enter the world of heroism stems partly from this guilt and a desire to honor her father's memory.

Lian pays tribute to her late father by wearing his baseball cap as a constant reminder of his legacy. She cherishes the memories they shared and has strived to avoid succumbing to the substance abuse struggles that plagued him. Lian's determination and resilience have allowed her to chart her own path while honoring her father's memory in a positive way.

### Wave 2

When not donning her heroic persona, Lian dedicates her time to working in the HR department of Hawk-Core, a company founded by Richard Hawk. Additionally, she actively participates in charitable endeavors, such as volunteering in soup kitchens, reflecting her compassionate nature and desire to make a positive impact beyond her crime-fighting duties.

### Wave 3

Lian kills a few parademons and is the most impacted by the sheer scale of an alien invasion.

### Wave 4

She is targeted alongside the rest of the team. She and Manhunter are the most outspoken against Rex's past actions, as the two have the most defined picture of what a hero is supposed to be.

### Wave 5

When they get captured by Brainiac, Lian strikes friendship with the plant being Sprout. Together with the captured aliens, he renames his team the Galactic Guardians in vain of the Global Guardians.

## Powers

Lian has no superpowers but is trained in a lot of deadly martial arts by the deadliest women on earth and uses the large weapon arsenal left behind by her father.

## Trivia

I will never forgive DC for killing Lian, so I brought her back but as usual put my own twists on it.
