Lexi nodded. "Sounds like... an interesting movie," she quietly replied.
"You're past doesn't necessarily define you," she agreed, "But don't you think that it has something to do with who you are? Who you've turned out to be? It doesn't define you, yes. But it's the journey to who we are now. Our past mistakes, friendships, relationships," she looked at him straight in the eye, "Its all part of who you are. If you didn't know your best friend, would you be the same person you are today?" she asked rhetorically.
Then she began telling her story, turning into a puddle of tears. He stood on the table then stepped down beside her, pulling her cold little self into a hug. "Fighting is hard," she sobbed. "Sometimes.. Sometimes you want to give up," she admitted. His shirt was tear stained when she pulled away, giggling a little. "I've been here all of two days and I'm already a trainwreck," she joked. Lexi wiped her face with a napkin, her eyes red and puffy. She then pulled on her sweatshirt, causing her blonde hair to become more messy than it already was.
"If only I had just one day," she started, biting her lip. "If only I had just one day, I would hug everyone I knew a little tighter. Love a little more. Smile a little brighter..." she trailed off. "Anyways, have you talked to Professor Xavier yet?" she questioned. Poor little Lexi hadn't heard of his passing. "He invited me here after my.. my accident. I had declined, and he told me that I would always be welcome. Maybe that's why I ran away. The chance of having a real home instead of just a house to live in where no one actually cares," she shrugged.
Mod
Birth Name: Kara Zor-El
Current Name: Kara Kent
Female ▪ nineteen years old ▪ Kryptonian
Personality
Kara was an insecure, fierce, impulsive, compassionate and sometimes immature girl. When she first arrived, she came across as an angry, bratty girl due to suffering from undiagnosed Kryptonite poisoning when she landed on Earth as an effect of spending thirty years trapped in a chunk of Kryptonite. Her illness messed up her brain, making her prone to wild mood swings and odd behavior until it was correctly diagnosed and the poison purged from her body.
Once free from false memories and mood swings plaguing her, Kara showed she was a troubled girl and lacked confidence but she was nice and well-meaning. Kara has a huge case of "Survivor Guilt" and suffers from PTSD.
Strengths
Kara has strong practical skills. She is an excellent manager of day-to-day tasks and routine maintenance, who enjoys making sure that those who are close to her are well cared for. Kara has a strong sense of duty. She has a strong sense of responsibility and strives to meet others' obligations, though this may sometimes be more from a sense of social expectations than intrinsic drive. Kara values stability and security very highly, and eagerly preserves the status quo in her normal life, which makes her extremely loyal and trustworthy. She is a true pillar of any group that she belongs to, whether it is her family or the League,she can always be relied upon.
Kara is sensitive and warm. Helping to ensure that stability, Kara seeks harmony and cares deeply about other people’s feelings, being careful not to offend or hurt anybody. She is a strong team player, win-win situations being the stuff smiles are made of. Kara is good at connecting with others. She social, comfortable and well-liked. She has a strong need to "belong", and has no problem with small talk or following social cues in order to take an active role in her community.
Weaknesses
Kara is vulnerable to criticism. It can be especially challenging to change her tendencies. She can become very defensive and hurt if someone, especially a person close to them, criticizes their habits, beliefs or traditions. Kara is often too emotionally needy. She needs reassurance in decisions and relies on family and friends often. She is too selfless. She often neglects her own needs to help others.
Appearance
Kara stands at 5'5" tall, weighing 135 lbs. She has deep blue eyes and straight blonde hair that falls to her shoulders. She has a good build and has amazing posture. When she isn't donning the cape, she sticks to basic tees with a cardigan and some dark washed jeans. She strictly wears flats as she is perceived as clumsy.
Powers
Solar Energy Absorption
Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of her super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Her biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
Heat Vision
She can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat and area affected.
Super-Hearing
Her hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision
Kara can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living thing.
Telescopic Vision
This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
X-Ray Vision
This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. She can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
Microscopic Vision
This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
Infrared Vision
She can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
Flight
She is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
Invulnerability
Due to the interaction of her dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, she is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, her extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
Superhuman Stamina
She is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
Superhuman Strength
Her strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables her to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.
Superhuman Speed
She is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time.
Super-Breath
She is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
Abilities
Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)
She has been trained by Batman in advanced martial arts and trained with the Amazons on Themyscira in combat and sword fighting. She has trained with Wonder Woman and Artemis extensively.
Klurkor
Kara knows "first level" of "Klurkor", a Kryptonian martial art.
Multilingualism
Supergirl speaks a multitude of languages fluently. She learned English in less then a month. She also speaks interlac. She is also fluent in Kryptonese. Plus, through precise muscle control, she can mimic other peoples voices.
Genius Level Intellect
Kryptonians, though otherwise completely human, are superior both intellectually and physically to natives of Earth. Kara lived on Argo City for some time and learned much about science and technology. She excels in engineering and has been shown at a young age to be able to reprogram advanced Kryptonian technology, like a robot, with little effort.
Artistry
Kara is also artistic and was once approached by the head of the Art Council who wanted to mentor Kara just like he did with her father. She keeps a guitar and a sewing machine in her apartment and she draws and designs new versions of her costume every so often.
History
Kara Zor-El is the daughter of Superman's uncle Zor-El and his wife Alura. Kara is actually older than Kal-El . She was a teenager when he was a baby. When Brainiac attacked Krypton, he took Kandor with him, while Kara and her parents remained in Argo. After Brainiac's attack, Kara's father created a force-field around Argo using a Brainiac Probe. When Brainiac returned to consume Argo City, Kara's parents had no choice but to send her in a rocket headed for Earth. During the journey her rocket was caught in a large kryptonite-encrusted meteor and she arrived on Earth years after her cousin did.
Birth Name: Margaret “Margo” Brooke
Current Name: Lexi Sierra
▪ Female ▪ 1st year student ▪ nine years old ▪
Powers
Omnilingualism
Lexi can speak, write, read, understand and communicate in any language including languages she has never been heard before, sign language (even lip-reading), illegible words, and backwards speech and writing with little or no training. She can also read body language.
Enhanced Wisdom
Lexi possesses great wisdom: deep understanding and realization of concepts, people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to apply perceptions, judgements, and actions while keeping these understandings. It often requires control of her emotional reactions (the "passions") so that universal principles, reasons, and knowledge prevail to determine her actions. Wisdom is also the comprehension of what is true combined with optimum judgment as to what action to take.
Weaknesses
Lexi does not have the ability to gain any more knowledge or comprehend a language when she has little or no energy. She doesn't have the ability to "turn off" her powers, which means she need more sleep and food than the average nine year old. She has to go to sleep at 6 at night to get her 14 hours of sleep. She normally wakes up at 8am. But without at least 12 hours, Lexi is useless when it comes to her powers.
Appearance
http://www.vokrug.tv/pic/person/6/3/5...
Lexi has dirty blonde hair that is wavy are unkept. She forgets to brush it after she wakes, so it will be a mess. In the morning’s it’s usually a tangled, wet mess as she air dries her hair throughout the day. She will wear a smile most of the time, but if you look into her piercing blue eyes, you’ll see nothing but sadness. She has pale skin and weighs 55 pounds. She stands at 4’5”, a thin and delicate little thing. Lexi normally wears plain, oversized, secondhand clothes. She has very few, and the Institute has begun to pay for her clothing. She goes for what is comfortable and normal to her. Because of her oversized clothing, she appears to be thinner and fragile. Lexi has precise, hexagon-shaped scars covering both of her arms, from her shoulders down to her wrists.

Health Problems and Mental/Emotional Issues
Retrograde amnesia
Lexi is unable to recall events that occurred before the development of her amnesia, even though she is able to memorize new things that occur after the onset. She developed this only a year prior to her enrollment at the Institute, having absolutely no recollection of anything prior. The amnesia was caused by trauma to her head. Her episodic memory was severely affected, so she remembers general knowledge and information. She, however, has no recollection of her life prior to her “accident.”
Aichmophobia
Lexi has a specific phobia, the morbid fear of sharp things, such as pencils, needles, and knives.
Panic disorder
Lexi has been diagnosed with panic disorder, which is different from the normal fear and anxiety reactions to stressful events. Panic disorder is a serious condition that strikes without reason or warning. Symptoms of panic disorder include sudden attacks of fear and nervousness, as well as physical symptoms such as sweating and a racing heart. During a panic attack, the fear response is out of proportion for the situation, which often is not threatening.
Personality
Lexi is creative. Combining a vivid imagination with a strong sense of compassion, she uses her creativity to resolve not technical challenges, but human ones. She enjoy finding the perfect solution for anyone she cares about, and this strength makes her an excellent advisor. Lexi is insightful. Seeing through dishonesty and disingenuous motives, she steps past manipulation and sales tactics and into a more honest discussion. She sees how people and events are connected, and is able to use that insight to get to the heart of the matter. Lexi is inspiring and convincing. Speaking in human terms, not technical, she has a fluid, inspirational writing style that appeals to the inner idealist in her audience. She can even be astonishingly good at orating, speaking with warmth and passion, if she is proud of what she is speaking for. Lexi is decisive. Her creativity, insight and inspiration is able to have a real impact on the world, as she is able to follow through on her ideas with conviction, willpower, and the planning necessary to see complex projects through to the end. She doesn’t just see the way things ought to be, she acts on those insights. Lexi is determined and passionate. When she comes to believe that something is important, she pursues that goal with a conviction and energy that can catch even her friends and loved ones off guard. Lexi will rock the boat if she has to, something not everyone likes to see, but her passion for her chosen cause is an inseparable part of her personality. She is altruistic. These strengths are used for good. Lexi has strong beliefs and takes the actions that she does not because she is trying to advance herself, but because she is trying to advance an idea that she truly believes will make the world a better place.
Lexi is sensitive. When someone challenges or criticizes her principles or values, she is likely to receive an alarmingly strong response. She is highly vulnerable to criticism and conflict, and questioning her motives is the quickest way to her bad side. Lexi is extremely private. She tends to present herself as the culmination of an idea. This is partly because she believes in this idea, but also because she is extremely private when it comes to her personal life and emotions, using this image to keep herself from having to truly open up, even to close friends. Trusting a new people can be even more challenging for her. Lexi is a perfectionist. She is all but defined by her pursuit of ideals. While this is a wonderful quality in many ways, an ideal situation is not always possible. She too often drops or ignores healthy and productive situations and relationships, always believing there might be a better option down the road. Lexi always needs to have a purpose. She gets so caught up in the passion of her pursuits that any of the cumbersome administrative or maintenance work that comes between her and the ideal she sees on the horizon is deeply unwelcome. Lexi likes to know that she is taking concrete steps towards her goals, and if routine tasks feel like it’s getting in the way, or worse yet, there is no goal at all, she will feel restless and disappointed. She can burn out easily. Her passion, poor patience for routine maintenance, tendency to present herself as an ideal, and extreme privacy tends to leave her with few options for letting off steam. Lexi is likely to exhaust herself in short order if she doesn’t find a way to balance her ideals with the realities of day-to-day living.
History
Before the Amnesia
"Lexi" was born Margaret Anne Brooke to James and Cara Brooke on January 23rd, the sixth child out of eight. She was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, where all of her extended family also lived. Margo grew up a happy little girl, always entertained by her five older sisters and brothers, and loved by her parents. Funny enough, all their names started with 'M'. There were three boys, five girls. Molly, Michael, Marigold, Madalyn, Matthew, Margaret, Marshall, and Mindy. Molly, the triplets, the twins, Marshall, and Mindy. Molly and the triplets were two years apart from the triplets, who were six years apart from the twins, followed by Marshall three years later. Little Mindy was born only a year after.
Margo grew up in a huge family, which made her independent from an early age. Life was normal. Birthdays, school, occasional family vacations. All until Margaret was five, when her ability to comprehend languages was discovered. She had always been a smart little girl, but this was the reason her parents knew about her powers. Her father was on the phone, talking in Russian. He was talking about his kids to his mother. James, although born an American, had grown up in Russia, moving there when he was seven. Margo overheard her father talking about how she was a sneaky little girl who had a knack for trouble, to which she replied in fluent Russian, "I do not cause as much trouble as you believe, dad. You just listen to Marigold and Madalyn when they blame me for what they do."
Shocked and scared, James quickly hung up the phone, pulling Cara aside to tell her what had just happened. They began to research, taking her to several doctors to find out how Margo could possibly be this way. You see, they saw it as a disease, fearing it. Sure, Margo was perceived as 'smart', but Cara and James were afraid of the extent of the power she held. The stressed and exhausted Cara told her older sister, Cassandra, about Margo. Cassie had then told her husband, Josh. Cassie and Josh, who had no children, got a divorce only five months later. He disappeared from their lives, leaving the heartbroken Cassandra behind.
A few months later, just as Margo was barely six years old, Josh showed up in front of her school, asking her if she wanted to go get something to eat. Margo, who had no clue that her uncle wasn't part of the family anymore, decided to go with him. That's when her life changed, yet again.
Josh took Margo and left town. He had heard about her powers from his wife, and wanted to punish her for them. She lived in an abandoned house in the middle of the woods, alone most of the time. She was locked in a room with bars on the windows. Josh would come in sometimes, carving hexagons on her arms. This went on for almost two years until there was no room left on her arms. He had just begun carving them on her legs when a hunter investigated the house when Josh was out. Finding the girl, he broke the lock off and helped the bleeding girl out of the room, while she told him to leave her and save himself. Margo knew how Josh could react. He would surely kill the man in front of her.
Josh did just that. But not before he was shot in the shoulder. Seeing her chance, Margo ran for it. Running as far as her little eight year old legs could go. She stopped for a few minutes when she heard someone coming. Margo continued to run until she tripped on a root of a tree, hitting her head hard on a rock. Everything faded black, the last image she can remember.Which was of a woman standing over her.
Waking Up
Josh had disappeared after that. Margaret woke up in the hospital, recovering from a severe concussion. The nurses asked her about her family, where she was from, how old she was, the normal questions. But Margo didn't know anything about her life. Not even her name. She stayed in the hospital for a couple of weeks as they tried to find her parents. They searched the state of California records, as she was found in the Sierra Mountains. The state didn't find anything, placing her into foster care.
The Aftermath
Lost and lonely, the newly named Lexi moved around from foster home to foster home, going in weekly for recovery to try and bring back her memories. This was for six months, until she asked them to stop. Lexi knew that whatever she ended up remembering would only end up hurting. Like the scars she could see everyday. They agreed and stopped helping, and Lexi continued being moved around in the foster system. That is, until Charles Xavier contacted her, offering her a place at the school. She declined, and he told her that she would always be welcome.
