Name: Jana Hero Name: Bellona Age: 18 Gender: Female
Alignment: Hero Loyalties: Superman and Supergirl first, anyone else second Powers/weapons: Kryptonian Abilities: Jana possesses the same strengths and weaknesses as other Kryptonians as a result of her DNA template and the effects of a yellow sun: Kryptonian Invulnerability: Kryptonians are one of the most durable species in the universe and anything short of a kryptonite weapon, a black hole, a red sun, magic, or a beat down from a being of Darkseid’s caliber will fail to kill them
Super Strength: Jana’s relatively little time spent absorbing yellow sun radiation means that her strength is not fully developed yet, but is getting stronger every day. At the moment, her strength allows her to lift and carry 100 tons and strike with the same amount of force, and potentially more if at superhuman speed
Super Speed: In a similar vein, Jana has highly increased speed, but not at her full potential. As of recently, she can break the sound barrier at a flat-out run or flight
Superhuman Stamina: Super-speed, super-strength, flying, and heat vision all require tremendous amounts of energy. By absorbing solar radiation, Jana can offset some of the cost of using these superpowers. Using multiple powers at once requires even more amounts of energy and drains her reserves faster. She is more often than not exhausted by the use of her incredible abilities, but can recharge by spending time in the sun. Her body is still getting used to the amounts of radiation it can receive and retain, wasting a good portion that other Krytonians would put to use. This imperfect cycle makes it hard for her to push herself consistently
Increased Vision: Jana can see the entire spectrum of light, granting her telescopic vision, microscopic vision, infrared vision, vision into the ultraviolet spectrum, and x-ray vision. She cannot, however, see through lead. She is still learning how to use this with greater precision
Increased Hearing: Jana can hear at any pitch, frequency, or volume
Anti-Gravitational Organs: Originally used to protect Kryptonians from Krypton’s crushing gravity, Jana’s anti-gravitational organs allow her to fly in any direction and generate her own leverage at any point in open space
Heat Vision: By releasing powerful bursts of solar radiation in the form of rays from her eyes, Jana can fire beams of intense heat. She can control the heat and power of these rays. Using her heat vision drains her of solar radiation very quickly. Because of this, there is a finite amount of time and power that she can use her heat vision. After that, her heat vision is barely more than a hair dryer, if it even works at all
Superhuman Lungs: As a clone of Supergirl, Jana retains Kara’s power to release hurricane-force wind from her lungs, along with the ability to chill the wind as a means to freeze targets. She can also do the same in reverse, sucking large amounts of gas or vapor into her lungs
Healing Factor: In addition to nigh-invulnerability, Kryptonians also possess a healing factor that allows them to recover from anything that injures, but does not kill them
Face Claim: Elle Fanning Voice Claim: Elle Fanning Casual Appearance: Jana’s outfits are mostly homogeneous, varying only slightly in color or design. Slightly ripped jeans paired with old t-shirts and a flannel shirt two sizes two big, with her scuffed running shoes completing the grunge look. If the day calls for it, she may swap the t-shirt for a tube top or the flannel for a hoodie. She wears a Superman charm on a silver chain necklace beneath her shirt. Super Appearance: While Jana might prefer to remain inconspicuous, Bellona is anything but. Sporting a set of lorica segmentata, the armor of the early Roman Empire, and a ridge helmet with plume of red horsehair, Bellona appears almost as an angry goddess delivering divine retribution. A red cape flutters behind her like a flag of war.
Personality: Originally cold and ruthless, Superman and Supergirl helped her overcome her initially frigid demeanor. Still somewhat aloof, Jana is making attempts to better connect with others. She is still highly possessive of her belongings and even the people she considers “hers”. She is a naturally curious person but also very guarded of her interests and emotions. She sometimes struggles with anger and tempering what she perceives as the “correct” way of doing things.
Spoiler: History
Project Cadmus was known for being highly secretive, even within its own ranks. If you could be kept in the dark about anything, you were. Secrets and lies were worth their weight in kryptonite. This proved to be a mistake, and led to the creation of not one, but two Supergirl clones.
Created from a blood sample from Supergirl and mixed with a variety of human DNA, Jana was originally designed to be used as a weapon to take care of Superman if he ever went rogue. Her childhood was governed by cold scientists and repeated exposure to kryptonite, leaving her weak and in deteriorating health. However, one scientist took pity on her, and would bring her toys or drawing utensils.
They were of course, discovered, and the scientist “disappeared”. Jana was more alone than ever, with only the clinical researchers to take care of her. Determined now to escape, she made several attempts, each unsuccessful. Security grew tighter and tighter around her until she was almost always fitted with a collar with small kryptonite crystals embedded in it. Things seemed hopeless for Jana, who wasted away, day by day. Forced to participate in combat exercises, she was very carefully trained in the art of war. She was kept in constant physical and mental exercise, trained in a variety of weapons, martial arts, and combat forms, along with being educated in matters of physics, chemistry, strategy, biology and anatomy, and mathematics. One mistake changed all of that.
A member of the security team left her door unlocked. Whether or not this was an accident, he too “disappeared”. Nonetheless, it was too late. Jana snuck through the halls, as fast and as quiet as she could. Room by room, floor by floor, she could almost taste her freedom. Finding a knife in one of the rooms, she sawed the leather of the collar enough to pull it over her head. Her heart beat as she left that horrible band of leather and the sickly, glowing green crystals behind.
In another room was salvation. Despite the steel bars on the windows, she yanked open the curtains and gasped as a strength she had never felt flowed through her. It was like every nerve was on fire! Without realizing, she had pulled away the bars like ribbons. She shattered the window with her bare hands, elated to discover should was not cut. She sprung from the window in a massive leaping bound.
After the adrenaline wore off, her earlier elation turned to horror as her senses were overwhelmed with input. She huddled under a drainage pipe for hours, shaking as she tried to shut the horrible images and sounds out. Eventually, the authorities were called to see about a 15 year old girl in a hospital gown in a drainage pipe. At the sight of seeing the entire biological processes of two adult humans, Jana’s mind got dangerously close to breaking. Her training asserted itself against potential threats, and she shattered the bones in one cop’s arm before throwing the other against a tree and flying off in fear.
News of this eventually made it to the Justice League and alerted the likes of Superman and Supergirl, who were curious about the reports of a Supergirl lookalike going off the rails. They managed to calm her down enough to ask her a few questions. Taking her under their wing, the cousins began deprogramming her and helping her become less of a threat to herself and others. Over time, she began to trust them more and became less ruthless and cold. Despite a rough beginning, she is fairly close with the original Supergirl, who considers her family.
As of recently, Superman and Supergirl have been conferring with each other and other teams to allow her to act as a superhero while under supervision. They believe she is ready for it, and she is eager to please them. They have decided on the new Teen Titans team, and have scheduled a day to introduce her to them. If they get along, she will be on the team as a trial run. She’s done some of her own research on the team and is interested, but nervous at the prospect of working with strangers.
Other: She is not very close to Superboy but does consider him a part of the Kryptonian family. Being a near-clone of Supergirl has resulted in slightly different looks and powers. Additionally, Jana’s repeated exposure to Kryptonite at a young age may have stunted the development of her powers, and she might never reach the same physical level of Supergirl. Password: Boodles

Congrats Yggdrasil_Hugger (you threw me by changing your name btw lol). Bellona's been accepted and added to the main page.
First, her life was an earthquake. Then she was the earthquake.
In the end, when the earth quaked, she was steady.
