Dia Tal Ra, The Girl of Steel
Dia Tal Ra
She May not be Supergirl yet, but she's still a super girl.
Backstory:
Soaring through the skies, Blurring by onlookers and waving. Cheers and raised hands of excitement call out for the attention of the worlds newest heroic youth. Many knowing her as Supergirl, others call her their hero. Or it least they would if she wasn't lost in a little dream world where that was the case. But the story is getting ahead of itself already.
*The following is a recorded conversation provided by Starrware and Karen Starr. It is the only known documentation of conversation with the Kryptonian Teenager, Dia Tal Ra.*
Starrware research documentation #001, I am Karen Starr CEO and researcher for the company, I have found a girl who claims to be a Kryptonian, She speaks fluent Kryptonian and is roughly the same age as Supergirl was when she left Earth with Superman. She calls herself Dia Tal Ra, and well I will allow Dia to tell about her life, herself. Dia? if you would please. After a few moments, a girls voice could be heard. The tone and innocence of it sounded almost angelic as what looked to be an average teen aged girl with sun kissed tan skin sat down and started speaking into a microphone using the Kryptonian language, after a moment she blushed and cleared her throat a bit before she continued to speak, this time in English. Right I am sorry. I sort of forgot about the English. I am not greatly good when using this language. But, I try. What are the needs for me? I.. Oh, tell my story? Okay. Hmm. Well starting, I was born on Krypton, not yours though. Umm I am not able to find words to say. My home was very sad. Wait, was is the right thing to say, yeah? It is still there. but I don't live there anymore. Yes, that's right. Oh Sorry. So Krypton is different because, these aliens came and for a long time they fought with Kryptonians, and we lost. What happened, was after the wars were over and many people were hurt or killed. Krypton surrendered. They didn't want to surrender, but it was to save us from being killed off. So, we gave up and the Aliens made us become their slaves. They took over Krypton, and the Aliens forced all Kryptonians to obey them as property. None of us were happy about that. so many Kryptonians fight to defy and break free from the slavery. and it worked out great for a long time. but, things got tough for people after some time. Well, what happened was the Aliens attacked us with a really big and powerful weapon. The weapon was used on the Sun and it turned the entire planet of Krypton into a wasteland by changing the temperature of the sun itself. This was well.. it was really bad. As for me, well I was sent to space by my family, I was the last hope for them. Though, I looked up the location of my Krypton in star charts and, it looks like it is not there anymore. So I'm alone. Letting out a sigh and a sniffle the recording cuts out and static fills more of the tape signalling the end of the recording.
After a short pause the recording parks up once more and Karen Starr's voice chimes in. Is this active? Good, Starrware Research Documentation #002. Powers of Dia Tal Ra. From the first day I have known the young woman named Dia Tal Ra she has quickly shown her growth under the effects of a Yellow Sun. Such growth proves that she is in fact Kryptonian. but her planetary origin is still unknown. Somehow, I feel as though this girl and my former umm friend (should I even call her a friend? I felt so near to her. something called Zhao Bim..) Oh! sorry, Dia. Yes, your powers. If you would not mind use each power and I will take the information I need.
Powers:
Heatvision: Dia is able to use this power, however it would seem that she has very little control over the strength and solar energy output of it. Potentially she could melt a house in one blast and seconds later not be able to light a match the next second. Training is needed desperately.
Flight: amazing. Dia has taken to flight as though it is second nature. She said to me in explaining "It was always a dream of mine to fly, growing up." I am not able to keep up with her flight speed and I worry that she could perhaps be able to fly faster than even Supergirl could have, it is hard to tell though.
Strength: At first sight, Dia does not look like it. but I have tested her maximum lifting weight.. I had to have her pick up numerous heavy objects. She was able to pick up a car with one hand. Note, she is still gathering Solar energy.
Icebreath: Much like her Heatvision, this specific power tends to cause Dia trouble. When she decides that she wants to eat, her Icebreath tends to turn the food into blocks of ice yet she still has trouble making it blow with the same force that a Solar Charged Kryptonian can. As cute as that is to watch. she needs to be taught how to control that.
Various Vision types: None of these are manifesting yet. It would seem that she has not learned to use these vision types yet. So far the only thing she has figured out was, one time she discovered X-Ray vision while talking to me. Poor girl nearly died of a heart attack. Seems it worked too well and she saw past skin.
Durability: This has yet to be tested. Hopefully, it will never have to be. Though, logically I should test this soon.
Weaknesses:
1. Kryptonite: This does not seem to affect Dia. Though, after prolonged exposure she seems to get highly ill and disoriented. Depending on the color of the Kryptonite, she may react differently.
2. Radiation: She is affected by most forms of radiation exposure. Her body can resist moderately dangerous levels of Radiation, however as the strength of the Radiation increases, so does her weakness. After an hour of exposure Dia passed out for two days.
3. Sonic attacks: These are highly effective against Dia, just as much as they would be against any Kryptonian.
4. Electricity: These attacks are equally effective against Dia, as she is still developing her solar aura, she tends to take less electricity than other Kryptonians would.
5. Psionics: Dia has no defense mechanism to protect her from mental attacks. This could be highly dangerous for Dia, and she has been warned to stay far away from Psionics.
6. Magic: Much like Electricity and Psionics Dia is highly defenseless against Magical attacks. However, she does not seem to have prolonged reaction to Magical attacks. Further testing and training may be required for this in the future.
