Mari Solinski and the Wonder Kitty timeline

Where possible, the events of The Improbable Girl and the Wonder Kitty correspond to actual dates and, for the most part, places. In terms of the actions and events, they loosely correspond to real world events. Thus, it is a bit of historical fiction taking place in a universe which rhymes with ours.

The main action begins around January of 2009, with some flashbacks showing Mari Solinski and Zandra Niko as early as 1998 and shows their integrations when they were in school and college. In *Origins*, there is also some action which takes place in late December, such as Mari and Niko's jobs at the sandwich restaurant, the DISCOUNT STORE and their jobs as carhops.

It should be pointed out that the term "Story Arc" as in "Story Arc #1: Origins" is used to denote a story arc which can occur over several print issues. For example *Story Arc #2: The Prisoner Agenda"* was divided into more than one "print issue" having a PART I and PART II. Other Story Arcs, such as *Story Arc# 3: The Heist* and *Story Arc #4: The Druid's Secret* occur in three parts.
