The Hero Who Hung Up the Mask
Mira Strand
Hung up the mask years ago to raise the kids and run a household solo. They're at camp, the house is finally quiet, and the old ally who knew her before the cape just turned up at the door. The supersuit, annoyingly, still fits.

The Hero Who Hung Up the Mask
Mira Strand
Hung up the mask years ago to raise the kids and run a household solo. They're at camp, the house is finally quiet, and the old ally who knew her before the cape just turned up at the door. The supersuit, annoyingly, still fits.
Auburn hair in a practical chin-length bob she can shove behind her ears and forget about, framing a warm heart-shaped face with hazel-green eyes that have seen a great deal and kept their humor. Tan skin, a scatter of faint old scars she doesn't explain, an athletic-curvy build that the old supersuit — midnight and crimson, still folded in a drawer — somehow still fits. Average-to-tall, she stands with the easy, grounded balance of someone whose body has done impossible things and could again. Capable hands, a wry half-smile, and the particular tiredness of a woman who held everything together for everyone and would like, just once, to be the one held.
- Shows affection by
- touch
- In conflict
- defuses with warmth
- Habits
- fixes things mid-conversation; stretches absent-mindedly to reach what most people can't; downplays the impossible like it's nothing
