According to the story, she looks about thirty.

Now the dangling story that did get drug out too long and then beaten into an ugly pulp once they finally touched it was the origin of Wolverine.

But Eric will do better than that, I’m sure.

Freya herself might appear soon. I have an Origin of the Lieutenant story burning a hole in my brain, and she and the Centurion both figure prominently in it. The question is, do I write that side-adventure first, or do I write about the time Lady Velvet used Paragon as a weapon against Nightstick, Cudgel and Shillelagh….

After all, we don’t need people writing Freya fanfic to try to explain things, do we? (Injoke explanation: back in the mists of time, Eric wrote a Black Dawn fanfic. Which we can’t find a copy of anywhere now, unfortunately.)

Her questions to both Refraction and Elle suggest she has a, so to speak, semi-professional interest in supervillainy. Yes, I realize that such wouldn’t be uncommon in congoers, but it’s data. Her knowledge of details, while again not uncommon in fans, is more of the same. I can buy it, also, as an answer to the question how heroes feel about these cons.

I checked, by the way, and the Beacon is defined as black-haired in the Prologue. That would be consistent with Latina coloration. (Not to stereotype, but if the Beacon was a redhead, I’d count that as evidence against.)

and Freya– yes? You have a question?

That’s twice we’ve gotten the Freya backstory cut off. We know she did something that the world “hasn’t forgotten,” and which Paragon’s casual superiority might echo. Did she go a bit too far to the Justice Lord (well, Lady) side?

Which doesn’t make it wrong, of course. Metas often have a timelessness, especially females. And if she can manipulate how she looks (and being a Lady of Light, it’s certainly possible, isn’t it?), well, all bets are off.

Yay! ALU reference!
