The worms keep worming and my wrist is the victim, but I can shout a little now about Mira in the Superwoman setting >:D
It is she! (Ok look, I love a well-written Lois and I love Mira, so I’ve got so much unnecessary information thought out)
Part of the Super!Rumi AU — (First Post)
For quick reference:
Rumi=Clark
Zoey=Jimmy
Mira=Lois
Polytrix endgame
_Mira Lane-Hong_
I’ve had so many rogue trains of thought hijacking my brain about this au, so I apologize for the excess.
Also, If anyone has their own interpretations or takes I would LOVE to hear them. I love reading people's headcanons on characters OwO
Mira’s family name is Lane, but she goes by her mom’s maiden name, Hong, when able to (idk if Mira had a canonical surname, so I based it off her speaking VA’s, same with Zoey)
I mentioned in the Patching Up of how Mira’s childhood was—For people who’ve seen MAWS, you know what her dad was prepping her for and who her dad is. A take on it that I enjoy is that Mira’s dad raised her to survive the apocalypse through survival training and desensitization. It was not good! Basically raising her with the SEAL training manual instead of like, affection
Mira didn’t realize this wasn’t normal until she was around 11-12, she’d mentioned the contents of a weeks long trip to a friend—her dad got reassigned soon after and they moved away from that friend
Oh right, if it wasn’t clear, Mira’s a military brat! She moved around constantly in her childhood, and isolated herself after her mom passed away from cancer. Honestly she’s extremely well-adjusted for everything she went through as a kid.
Left home around 17, lived out of her car to finish high school off and earned a degree in journalism in uni. Extremely, extremely dedicated reporter in the making, she will win so many Pulitzers in the future and make people (Lex Luthor) quake with nerves at having to be interviewed by her.
At 23 she’s been an intern at the Daily Planet for over a year and she’s tentatively letting her dad get in contact with her again—Mira’s letting him have a chance because despite everything, she still feels like she has something to prove and when he’s around she kinda shrinks.
Hates hospitals—conveniently, she knows how to properly clean and stitch her own wounds to avoid hospitals (this is not smart)
Ok, throwing more less narrative important headcanons into the mix
Wild pain tolerance, she went on a trip to Gotham with some coworkers once and they got mugged—Mira got stabbed and was so nonplussed the muggers got concerned
Excellent poker-face, (it's probably from all the horrors) she can be in the middle of a breakdown internally, on the outside she's casually sipping her coffee looking unbothered.
Calls Rumi "Smallville" cause that's just classic Lois & Clark, and calls Zoey "Snapper" because she loves turtles and snaps pictures
She! Cannot! Spell! This girl has dyslexia and writes so fast that she breaks spell-checking software! She is an amazing journalist, she just gets some proofreading help from Rumi and Zoey—or dictates for Zoey to type
She needs the truth when it comes to people she cares about. Loved ones hiding things or lying leads everything back to her father and it becomes an extreme almost compulsive need to push and know what's really going on.
Keeps up with exercising with kick-boxing, sparring, jogging.
Extremely passionate about uncovering corruption and lies, both on an objective level and a personal level; also fun-fact this laptop is based off canon Lois Lane material!
Chronic caffeine consumption to keep on the beat & Chronic pen chewer when she’s thinking, if there is a pen near her, it is in danger
Loves soft things, cozy blankets? Fuck yeah. Plushies? Oh hell yeah. Sweaters and Knit-wear? Half her wardrobe.
Will never admit it aloud, but really loves that both Rumi and Zoey can pick her up. She is very tall, it’s a bit novel that her partners can do that. It makes her feel safe and that she’s someone worth protecting.
Adding onto that, after certain MAWS events, she either needs to be the little spoon or HAS to be holding both her girls.
Didn’t mention it in the initial post, gotta go back and add more head canon, but Kryptonian’s 100% purr and can drop down into infrasound. Mira finds it extremely adorable and soothing, and the deep tones hot. (Fun overlap, so many people look at Clark and go, yes he needs uncanny traits, we honor both fandoms here uwu)
Extremely good at budgeting, going from a pretty well-off living situation to living mostly out of her car—She volunteers at least a full day 2x a month to helping emancipated teenagers adjust.
Adores listening to Zoey yap about assorted conspiracy or marine wildlife, she’ll sometimes rest her head on Zoey’s chest while she lectures to feel the vibrations of her voice. Before knowing her, Mira would walk through Metropolis, not letting her surroundings distract her. After, she'll realize she's started to notice and look out for specific bird species she spots because Zoey's told her about them.
Loves seeing Rumi light up in her subtler way when she starts talking about her plants or proper agricultural practices and animal husbandry in the farming industry. She got bouquets for her girls on their first date and quickly figured out that living plants are much better gifts for Rumi.
Look, it’s just full lovergirl-coded Mira Lane in this household. She will do whatever her girls ask of her (except stopping the pick-pocketing of wardens keycards or sleeping at decent, consistent hours)
Adding a lil bit of the Superman movie flavor of Lois where she’s a bit feral-cat coded, gotta coax her into accepting the affection. She didn't really realize that she felt so lonely before meeting Zoey and Rumi.
If she latches onto a story, you better believe she’s not letting go or giving in. She will break into secure military complexes and jump out of moving vans in order to get the story. If there’s ever a thought of Mira (Lois Lane) wouldn’t do [insert insane thing here] you are wrong! She is unhinged! Rumi and Zoey are just so, so, so down bad for her specific brand of crazy.
She is not impulsive—Mira will consider all her possible options and ACTIVELY choose the most insane one, and she’s usually justified by the narrative in doing so! (One of her partners being Superwoman 100% further enables this behavior)
Absolutely does not care if her girlfriend is Superwoman or not, she will be throwing herself into the fray. Has a really hard time seeing Rumi confront antagonists that she can't do anything against. (Also gets so frustrated at Rumi not knowing even the most basic combat forms: cue tension filled sparring with both her girls)
Always puts herself between Zoey and Rumi and the roads. Or as a barrier between people on buses, trains, etc.
Can cook extremely well, actively chooses to live off granola bars and instant ramen for the speed and convenience.
If you've made it this far, thank you for indulging my Mira = Lois Lane brainrot UwU. I don't really feel like writing out characterization is a strength, or even a neutral skill, of mine, so I hope this feels in line with a Mira living in the setting and being the Lois Lane equivalent.
I have so many thoughts still, MAWS is just such a charming setting and I love putting the kpdh cast in there. But like I mentioned up top! Feel free to take your own spin on this au! That's part of the fun of sharing it, there's no wrong way to do it ^w^ (I feel really self-conscious about sharing this stuff but seeing people interacting with it makes me excited to keep making it <3)
FINALLY! My shop opens this week on April 8th @ 12PM PT!
