The next day, Henry showed off the images to his friends while Yolanda discussed things with Principal Bowin. Cindy grabbed Henry's phone long enough to see the messages, though he quickly grabbed it back. At the school assembly, Cindy sent the pictures of Yolanda to the entire student body and faculty.

She dismisses the danger of it and puts it away. Pat called from downstairs, and she puts away the items in a large duffel bag and hides it in her closet. As she leaves, the pen laughs in her wake. After Joey's death explaining to Pat that, they should be out recruiting new JSA members. Pat begs her that he needs to find other villains in Blue Valley before they find them, and then he'll report them to the authorities. Courtney retorts that they could be the authorities before leaving.

At school, Courtney looks through her yearbook and notices Yolanda before she bumps into Henry King Junior. He says sorry and she remarks "ow" before going to her locker. Cindy witnessed this and demands to her boyfriend what she said, but he is reluctant to her protests. Cindy takes it upon herself to taunt Yolanda, but Courtney stands up to her. Yolanda sneaks away as a tense standoff between them emerges, with Cindy threatening Courtney. The latter rushes to comfort Yolanda but she angrily tells Courtney to leave her alone.

Courtney finds Yolanda angrily punching a beanbag. Then angrily slices it half seeing Yolanda's powers shocked Courtney. Notice Courtney staring at her the latter once more asks her to stop following her. Courtney says she can't and begins to say that something is happening, something in Blue Valley and she needs Yolanda's help to fight it. Yolanda says she wants nothing to do with her or anyone in this school, but Courtney begs for the chance to be heard and invites her to dinner. She asks for her phone number but Yolanda snaps back that her mom took her phone. Insistent, Courtney writes down her address, but Yolanda doesn't promise anything. Arriving home, she quietly greets her brother, grandmother, and mother. Mrs. Montez curtly tells her daughter to go upstairs and that she'll call her for dinner, but Yolanda asks if she can go to a friend's house for dinner. Mrs. Montez refuses, saying she's grounded. Yolanda protests for how much longer, but until Mrs. Montez says so. The next school day, she finds Courtney waiting for her and angrily tells her to get the hint. Courtney, having discovered her and Henry's past relationship, reveals that she was the one who blew up Henry's car. Yolanda is dubious, but Courtney reveals that she knows what he did to her. Yolanda remarks that everyone does, and sits down as Courtney praises her bravery for coming to school day after day. She tears up, confessing that she knew he could be a jerk but that he was so nice to her. She thought it was getting serious, but realizes he didn't see it likewise. Her parents were devastated and embarrassed and couldn't bear to be around her. She doesn't want to hate anybody but loathes Henry. Courtney asks her if she wants to see how she blew up Henry's car, to Yolanda's confirmation.

Courtney takes Yolanda to her basement and shows off (and berates) the Cosmic Staff, whose brightness is blinding Yolanda. She sets it down, and an unimpressed but curious Yolanda asks about it. Courtney proudly says that it belonged to her father, Starman. Yolanda apparently does not know who that is, so in lamest terms, Courtney says her father was a superhero and she is one now. She brings her upstairs, where she puts on the Wildcat suit. Which Stargirl customize it to fit her. The girls are wowed, and They test out Yolanda's abilities, from using Wildcat had claws that could cut metal. She whips out her long claws to their amazement, and head downstairs to test her ability on the toaster. Finding success, they go outside to assess Yolanda's physicality. She able to jump onto a picket fence with her catlike ability and walk on top of it her, and she's able to land on her feet. Flying to The American Dream clock tower, they see if she can jump off the building. Yolanda's nervous, but Courtney backtracks and says she doesn't have to. However, Yolanda says this is the first time in months she listened to herself and prepares to jump but stops. Courtney says they can take the stairs. She fills Yolanda in about the ISA and their history, and duck as Henry Jr. drives by. She adds that his father is another supervillain, Brainwave. Yolanda guesses that the other villains in Blue valley must visit him, to Courtney's agreement.

They head for the hospital, where Stargirl presents the plan - she'll create a distraction while Yolanda as Wildcat steals the visitor's log in Brainwave's room, upon the seventh floor. Through the radio communication in their masks, she encourages her and hears Wildcat's praying before finally building up the nerve to whip out her claws and jump. She manages to get a grip on the side of the building and begins to clean up, but near the top some bricks give way and she loses her grip. Wildcat falls and desperately rakes her claws against the building as she finally stops. Below, a medical orderly looks at the bricks on the ground, but a conversation with Pieter Cross prevents him from looking up. Wildcat climbs back up again and through the open window, she enters Henry King Sr.'s room much to her relief. Hearing footsteps, she braces herself behind the door as a nurse comes to check in on their patient, and doesn't notice her. Through their intercoms, Stargirl says she's going to turn off the electricity but is stopped as the Staff prevents her from getting close. Wildcat urges her not to do so as some people are on life support, including the guy laying in front of her. Stargirl embarrassingly smiles at the Staff, and a struggle of control ensues as the Staff causes a mess in the storage room she's in. A nurse hears the commotion and finds the empty room a mess, as Wildcat falls onto the receptionist area and finds the visitors log. The nurse comes back and blames the janitor, as Wildcat is able to sneak away. She finds herself back in King's hospital room, with Henry Jr. sitting next to his father's bed. In a fit of rage, she whips out her claws and raises her hand, ready to strike but is stopped when Junior tearfully tells his father he misses him. Anger is gone, she backs away but bumps into a table. Henry hears the noise and looks behind him but finds no one - Wildcat is clinging to the ceiling. He gets up and leaves. She disentangles herself and calls out to Stargirl, whose mid-air on the Staff. They hear someone else coming in and hide, as Principal Anaya Bowin briskly comes in with a suitcase. She opens it and holds up a violin, proceeding to play a dramatic tune. Henry Sr.'s heartbeat monitor increases, but elsewhere nothing changes. She packs up and leaves, much to the shock of the girls, who wonder if she's also a villain. Stargirl calls out Yolanda's name as she leaves out the window, and the two are witnessed by Pieter Cross, who heard Stargirl.

At Courtney's home, the girls are disheartened to see only Henry Jr.'s name on the visitor log but remarked that Principal Bowin didn't sign hers. Yolanda confesses to Courtney she's isn't her Wildcat - she needs to retrieve her old life first before she can put on a costume. She hands Courtney the suit and leaves to go home. Yolanda's parents are angry to see her come in from the outside, but she needs to make an announcement. She says she made a mistake and trusted someone she shouldn't have. She knows she brought shame to the family and asks for their forgiveness, to be who she was months ago. They stay silent until Yolanda's mom tells her she'll never be the girl form before as she disgraced her family and herself. Her father tells her to go to her room. Yolanda tearfully cries on her be but notices the open window behind her. She finds the Wildcat suit and a note from Courtney says she can't do it alone. Resolved in finding a new way to move forward, she suits up as Wildcat and heads to Courtney's whose delighted to see her.

## **Appearance**

Yolanda is a pretty young teenager with long red curly hair, an olive complexion, dark brown eyes, and a tall yet slim figure. She wears her hair in two braids. Yolanda has a relaxed yet stylish sense of fashion, usually seen wearing dark-colored open front sweaters. When fighting as the heroine Wildcat, she wears her signature suit. Yolanda is wearing a furry leather cat-suit. The wildcat suit is a full-body, multi-textured, and colored jumpsuit. The main tones are different shades of blue and purple. Wildcat has a gradient colored cat cowl that covers her head, neck, and half of her face. The cowl goes over her nose and past her cheekbones. The sides of the cowl extend past her jaw in points. The cowl does include two cat ears on the sides, and deep-set cat-shaped eyes. The coloring around the eyes is black. On the sides of the cowl are claw marks from the top of the cowl to the lower cheekbones. She wears dark purple, leather-textured gloves that reach to her forearms. Elongated, metal claws that reach sharp points are attached to the fingernail section of the gloves. The same dark purple textured material is present in a strip that begins around her neck, down her torso, and around her waist. There is an additional spiral metal texture that starts mid-way down her thigh and spirals around to her shin, where it becomes the primary texture until her ankles. The metal is also a very deep purple tone. She wears black boots that have three elongated metal claws sticking out from the tips of the boots.

## **Personality**

Yolanda used to be the pretty, popular, attentive class president candidate at Blue Valley high. She made her parents proud of her great grades, religious affiliations, and positive outlook on life. She woke up happy and excited for the day ahead. She was happy in her relationship and didn't let the pressures of running against someone get her down. She held herself at a higher standard. She trusted Henry to keep her topless pictures safe and was devastated when the images eventually were leaked.

When the images were leaked Yolanda's entire world collapsed. She lost everything with a simple swipe of a finger. She lost her candidacy for class president, ended her relationship with Henry, and dealt with the shame that comes from being revealed. She was instantly marked as an outcast by not only her peers but her family, as well. They stopped taking her to church and grounded her, taking her phone away as punishment. Yolanda was ostracized from those who used to adore her and spent her time either at school, the gym, or home. She didn't have friends and kept to herself.

She began presenting herself as a shy, introverted girl who doesn’t talk much to anyone. She prefers to be alone and doesn't want others to help her as she thinks things will only get worse for both parties. However, after a talk with Courtney, she shows a feisty and spirited side of her personality. She is defensive and assertive in her initial stance of not being friends with Courtney. Yolanda eventually has an amazing night as a super-hero, finding amazing abilities in herself - both given by her powers and her inner courage. She allows herself to have fun for the first time in months and form a friendship with the pushy and bubbly Courtney. Yolanda gains enough confidence in herself to stand up to her family about her mistakes and has the bravery to accept the mantle of Wildcat.

Despite all her heroic qualities, Yolanda has also shown some darker qualities, most noticeably a sense of bitterness and anger. During her infiltration of the hospital upon spotting Henry, she prepared to use her claws, likely to seriously injure him as revenge for what happened in the past. It was only thanks to seeing him show his vulnerable side and longing for his father that she held herself back.
