Astra Spark never meant to become a hero. She was a runaway - a Tamaranean princess launched from her burning homeworld in a desperate attempt to save her life. Her escape pod tore across the skies of Earth and crashed her into a world she didn't understand, leaving her drained, frightened, and alone.
Before she could recover, a group of men found her. They mistook her weakness for helplessness. Their attack awakened something inside her - a wild burst of green-gold energy that sent them fleeing and ignited the fire of survival in her chest. Terrified and trembling, Astra ran into the shadows of the city.
There, she learned to speak. To adapt. To feed on sunlight until her powers returned: flight fueled by ultraviolet rays, blazing starbolts born from emotion, strength that cracked concrete, and eyes that glowed like living emeralds.
When she saw others suffering at the hands of predators like the ones who hurt her, she refused to look away. She became a vigilante - a streak of green light in the night, a silent protector who hunted the darkest corners of the city. She didn't do it for glory. She did it because no one had protected her.
Her presence drew the attention of the Superhero Dispatch Network. Instead of labeling her a threat, they offered her a place - a team - and a chance to channel her fire toward something greater.
Now, as a member of the Z-Team, Astra Spark fights not just to survive, but to belong. She is the girl who fell from the stars, forged in trauma and reborn in light - a warrior learning to heal while protecting a world that once hurt her.
And every time she takes flight, the sky glows a little brighter.
