Laura Holden, the daughter of teachers in Newport, OR, was born with vibrant purple eyes and hair. The prognosis was that she was a mutant. Her parents, while concerned about her future, were delighted at their cheerful and beautiful baby girl. When Laura was six her; parents heard of a school for metahuman children opening up through a friend in social services. Delighted, the Holden's interviewed to have Laura placed in the school. At the interview, they found that the school was also looking for elementary grade teachers. Getting the jobs, the family moved to Portland and Laura was enrolled. Laura's powers surfaced shortly after her eleventh birthday. She is one of the most powerful and potential destructive students at the institute. The last year has been a productive one for her in regards to control and confidence building. She has joined with the others in the Class '09 and tries to be a responsible super heroine. Be good, don't hurt anyone too badly. That's Starchild's creedo. "Don't make me hurt you." Her powers have grown considerably in the short time she has exhibited them; in raw power and in scope. She is constantly surrounded by a protective aura that not only protects against damage but also has granted her environmental immunity and drastically reduced dependence on food and sleep. Recently she has been able to converse with anyone, seemingly translating their words as they speak. Her instructors theorize that she will one day be able to fly. That day can't come soon enough for Laura. Laura is pretty tough for a twelve year old. If you want her to be less dangerous to her environment, lower her cosmic pulse to 12d6. If she's in need of toughening up, give her a few more points of armor, and flight. A pretty young girl with purple hair and eyes. Her "uniform" was put together by her friend Penny and she resembles a sailor scout. She wears a white top with long sleeves, a purple star over her heart, and a purple pleated skirt. She has white boots and gloves.
