Introducing — 「 ✦ Ginevra Galas ✦ 」
— across the dc universe —
Ginevra Galas was born in smallville and moved away after the meteor shower. When Ginevra is 16 years old, after much consideration — and job offers — Ginevra's family moves back to Smallville. While Ginevra's not too excited about the prospect of leaving the city, she is happy to reunite with her childhood friend Chloe Sullivan. And it seems to be a perfect moment for Chloe too since she's handling a job at the Daily Planet whilst still handling the Torch at school. Ginevra is the perfect solution. She learns the ropes of the place - and school, for that matter - from Chloe and her new friends: Lana Lang, Pete Ross and Clark Kent.
It then seems to go in a very simple manner: Ginevra is in the wrong spot, at the wrong time.
She's always loved crystals and the meanings behind them. Now, after a mysterious explosion in an antique store in town (something she was told is very common in Smallville), she gains the ability to produce crystals from her very own hands. Too frightened and confused to tell anyone, Ginevra tries navigating this new power on her own. Chloe’s 'wall of weird' certainly doesn't help motivate her to come clean, so Ginevra settles on pretending being normal. She just wished the wall of weird would stop being the gift that keeps giving because apparently, Smallville is filled with "weirdos" who terrorize its citizens. And it somehow always gets her, Chloe and Clark into the center of it. It definitely hinders her grand plan of staying hidden and normal.
Ginevra soon learns that living in Smallville means you'll never get a moment of peace.
It also looks like her return to Smallville wasn't as random as she thought...but to be preordained sounds more than crazy. What could she possibly have to do with some cave stories? Little by little, Ginevra unravels the truth about her powers and how she's much more connected to the world of powers and, unfortunately, the battles of the saving-the-world kind.
Ginevra Galas is disillusioned with the world and nobody knows why. As a reporter, her work always reflects her less than impressed view of the world. It’s a stark difference to her general kind personality. Clark Kent surely doesn’t know why she behaves the way she does despite growing up in the same town as her and being great friends. Everyone always asks him “what’s her deal?’ and he, bless his heart, never knows what to say. ‘She wasn’t always like that’, he sometimes tells Lois and Jimmy. ‘She used to smile a lot more, I swear. We used to have the best of times!’ And he always said it with a special sparkle in his eyes. If there was a definition for ‘sunshine and rainbows’, it had always been Ginevra. She had the special talent of making anyone around her feel warm and safe, a phenomenon for him and his situation.
But that was pre-college. It was before they split up to take their routes after high school graduation.
When they reunited at the Daily Planet, Clark was ecstatic to have her back in his life, even if it was just as friends. But very quickly he realized that Ginevra was different. She saw things differently. Good doesn’t always win. Justice doesn’t always prevail. She trusted very little around her, even going as far as expressing her honest-to-God wariness of Superman…Her fear of the world and what it could become was a constant burden for her. It all intensifies when Lex Luthor uses it all as a way to turn the world against those metas — and aliens — who are genuinely trying to be good in the world. One day, Superman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, Prisma and more metahumans might find themselves in hot waters and perhaps even killed for the act of simply existing.
My Adventures with Superman
Ginevra Galas teeters between the lines of her humanity and the horrific truth of who she is. Abandoned as a twelve year old by her own kind and with no memory of her name — she wanders the streets of Metropolis until, by a stroke of luck, she’s found by a wonderful human family and taken in as one of their own. Given the name ‘Ginevra’ by her new family, she learns how to hide her true self from them, not wanting to be rejected by the loving humans now claiming her as their own daughter. But all the wonderful years as Ginevra Galas is not enough to keep away the nightmares of her fragmented past.
Dreaming of experiments in off-world labs, accompanied by the undeniable screams and flames of war, Ginevra ultimately remembers exactly how she came to be before being abandoned on Earth. A child from a test tube, a cross between two races rebranded as a ‘Worldkiller’, Ginevra was created and designed to fight the Kryptonian war in a last attempt to win. She, along with other Worldkillers, were Krypton’s last experiments before everything was destroyed.
The truth is more scrambled when a new ‘hero’ makes his mark on the streets. Superman. A Kryptonian, if Ginevra ever saw one. Seeing him brings a long new, yet still fragmented, memories of the past. Where the hell did he come from? How did he get here? Did that mean there were others coming now? She’s ready to search for the truth alongside her friends, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Clark Kent — although only Lois seems to be eager to research Superman.
Ginevra understands a Worldkiller’s purpose, but she also remembers everything her human family has taught her. She loves Earth, she loves her life, her friends and her job. Who could guess that the only reason she exists in the universe is to help destroy it? She herself wishes to forget that ugly part of her, but with growing threats, especially that of Brainiac, it looks like being a full-fledged Worldkiller might be her only destiny.
don't be fooled I might switch around synopses, it's all still drafts
