Character Information
Character Name: Kara Danvers
Played By: Melissa Benoist
Original Canon: Supergirl
Personality: If ever there were a personification of the "cinnamon roll" meme, it's Kara Danvers. She believes in truth, justice, and the American way. Kara is the type of person that believes that there's no such thing as true evil and that everyone has the potential to be a good person, deep down, if they really try. She sees the best in the people around her and always wants to give her foes the benefit of the doubt and a chance to do the right thing. She's quirky and inquisitive and curious to a fault, but is most importantly forever making sure she's doing the right/fair thing.
Kara feels deeply and trusts too easily. She wants more than anything to protect people and feels a responsibility to do so with the gift of her abilities.
She's the type that tries to be happy as often as she can and when she's hurting, she struggles to keep others outside a very tight-knit group from seeing it, because it's more her nature to wear her heart on her sleeve. That said, when she's in business mode, it's much easier to shut off that part of herself.
Kara is a plucky but socially awkward woman with a heart of gold. Her ability to make friends as easily as she does has a lot more to do with her pretty face and sunny disposition than it does any social skills.
She believes that people are fundamentally good and can be reasoned with under any circumstances. Sometimes, this can get her into a little bit of a bind, considering this is not always true. But he continues to believe this beyond a reasonable doubt, in spite of proof to the contrary, because Kara cares about people. And she's stiff in her beliefs; she tends to push her desire to refrain from killing "bad guys," if they can be detained instead, on those around her. She'll never find killing someone to be the best possible solution. For Kara, it's not even an appropriate last resort.
Abilities & Skills:
Childhood: Kara grew up with an older sister and their mother; their father disappeared when she was a child and was presumed dead until well into Kara's twenties. They lived modestly and were all incredibly close. To this day, Kara remains very close with her mother and sister.
She spent the better part of her life, until she was in her mid-twenties, hiding her abilities from the world, because her parents insisted she needed to, in order to protect herself. When they were young, Kara wanted nothing more than her sister's approval, but until their early teens, Alex tended to be more resentful than appreciative of Kara's existence.
Given that she was hiding a pretty integral part of herself from practically everyone around her, Kara struggled with interpersonal relationships outside her family and, for it, she's a little awkward around others when she first meets them.
Present Occupation: She's an investigative reporter for a local newspaper.
Present Residence: She lives comfortably, but not lavishly in a one-bedroom apartment on the sketchy side of town (it's cheaper to live there, but she doesn't have to worry so much about her personal safety as any other women might).
Anything else we should know? Just her sister and her mom, but no family of her own otherwise. By this point in her life, she pretty much has learned everything there is to learn about her abilities and how to use/control them.

Abilities & Skills:
- Special Abilities; Kara has super strength, speed, endurance, and hearing, accelerated healing ability, invulnerability to weapons, immunity to diseases and illnesses, super breath, x-ray and heat vision, flight, and telepathic immunity.
To break down the less than self-explanatory powers:- Super breath: Kara has the ability to blow incredibly strong gusts of wind from her lungs. In addition, she can use this breath and her ability to lower the temperature of her breath to freeze things.
- X-ray vision: Kara is able to see through objects with her x-ray vision. Much like the x-rays we know, lead is impenetrable by her x-ray vision. The glasses she wears have lenses lined with lead to keep her from using this ability unwittingly and were given to her by her adoptive father in an effort to help her fit in, when she was a child. She continues to wear them to this day when she is not using her abilities.
- Heat Vision: With the use of solar energy reserve in her body, Kara can emit heat lasers from her eyes by expending said reserve. The lasers appear as blue beams coming from Kara's eyes and are strong and hot enough to melt metal.
- Telepathic Immunity: Kara is impervious to all forms of telepathy and is unaffected by them.
She's known since her childhood that she had super strength, but it was an accidental discovery, as were literally all of her abilities, over time, from her childhood into her teen years, largely coming to light when she would get especially frustrated, excited, or angry. - Skills; She's a skilled investigative reporter and journalist and is trained in hand-to-hand combat so that she can protect herself in the instance that she's unable to use her abilities.
