Nasthalthia Luthor

## Background

### 1984 - 1993: Background

Arlene Luthor is the first born child of the infamous businessman Lionel Luthor & his wife, Leticia. Because of the nature of Lionel's job, the family travelled frequently so they he could meet with business partners & prospective sponsors. Arlene had just graduated college so the Luthors took a two week long family trip of her choice to Kasnia. While there, she met a Kasnian native named Tor. The two became very close & when it was time to go, Arlene convinced her parents to let her extend her trip. As she was now eighteen, they allowed it as long as one of the bodyguards stayed with her.

She ended up spending the whole summer there but when it her parents told her it was time to come home, Arlene responded that she had fallen in love with Tor & that the boy had proposed to her. Lionel forbid her from carrying on the relationship but instead, Arlene got married. As a means of disapproval, both of Arlene's parents stopped talking to her. She continued living in Kasnia with Tor & became close with his family, who were the ruling monarchs of the country. Both of the them were quite young so neither were in a rush for marriage, leading to the two spending most of their time travelling & keeping up appearances for the monarchy. They later gave birth to Prince Per & Princess Nasthalthia Degaton.

### 1993 - 2016: Nasthalthia Degaton

Nasthalthia, or Nas as she is usually called, grew up living a lavish lifestyle. Not only did her mother already have access to her family's inheritence when she turned eighteen, her father's family ruled the entire country. For the first five years of her life, Nas was only aware of her father's side of the family.

But after the her paternal grandfather's major scandal & resulting death, her uncle Lex reached out to Arlene after over a decade of sporadic conversations. Wanting Nas to know his family, Arlene had Lex fly out to Kasnia with his young daughter & their half-sister (whose existence was just made public to Arlene & Lex). As the family became reacquainted & healed some old wounds, Lex made sure Arlene knew that she was welcome to come around at any time. And with Lex now taking over the family business, he would use his resources to help her out in any way possible, though he was aware that would most likely not be needed due to her husband's position of power.

Following their trip, Nas visited the states multiple times as tensions in Kasnia began to rise due political unrests. Her mother eventually moved herself, Nas & her brother to the states to live with Lex while her husband remained to help his brother with maintaining peace. Though Nas not allowed much freedom for her safety, she & her cousin Lena made plenty of fun with Lex's employees. The three of them remained there for over a decade, with Nas enrolling at the Metropolis University for college. Once the civil war ended & violence was at an all time low, her father decided it was time for them to return. While her mother & brother boarded the plan to return, Nas made a different decision.

All the time she had spent watching her uncle made her realize that she was much more interested in being involved in business over politics. Still undecided in her major, Nas chose to double major in business management & marketing. She continued living in the apartment in LuthorCorp Tower that she had been living in, seeing no reason to find a new place. Though her parents expected her to return upon her graduation, she instead elected to stay in Metropolis & got a job at LuthorCorp.
