Jetgirl
Keira Holt, heir to both the Holt and Gannet-Moore high technology and aerospace fortunes, spent her life dreaming of the sky. Having become estranged from her mother after her sister’s breakdown and disappearance, Keira attended the State University of New York – Empire City, paying her own way. There she got to be close friends — family, almost — with four other SUNY-Empire students. Keira and her friends were on hand at the King Kurtzberg building when the Skyquake happened — the five helped innocents evacuate the building but were caught within a fractalizing of time and space, causing each of the five to live for years in ‘pocket universes,’ not even remembering their own lives. In Keira’s universe, she was a survivor of a war, locked away in a former factory and base. Learning the base’s technology and establishing an occasional communications link to the sanctuary colony called Oasis, Keira developed her first jet propelled powersuit over the course of year. When raiders threatened Oasis, Keira donned her suit for the first time, flying the prototype across the wasteland and saving Oasis. Only then was she drawn out of the fractal world and alongside the others became Jetgirl of the Pentad of Guardians.Jetgirl, Blue Point of the Pentad of Guardians, Founding Excelsior and Exemplar of Speed. Savior of Oasis in a World that never Was. She is the Intellect and the Will.
