Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.

MAYBE IT WAS THE FACT SHE WAS MADE OF COSMIC LIGHT, BUT NYOTA LAHIRI ALWAYS LOOKED ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS.
It was a fairytale she was told over and over - born from a fallen star, otherworldly energy flowing in her veins, more celestial than human.
The day eight-year-old Nyota was exposed to the Mist changed everything. The warm glow of her childhood was soon overshadowed by a very sinister truth: Earth was in desperate need of heroes, but in desperately short supply. Her parents believed they could help bridge that gap through their work with S.H.I.E.L.D., and, one day, they hoped Nyota would too. The cosmic light coursing through her body - beautiful, powerful, dangerous - was no longer a fairytale, but a reminder of what Nyota needed to be.
