Background:
When teen-ager Courtney Whitmore’s mother remarried, she did not like her new step-father Pat Dugan one little bit. When she found out that he was the former sidekick to Sylvester Pemberton, the original Star-Spangled Kid, she thought it was interesting, but dorky. One day, she came upon Pemberton’s old Cosmic Converter Belt, which Dugan had kept since the death of his friend. The belt was an amazing device invented by the Golden Age Starman, Ted Knight, then used and upgraded by the original Star-Spangled Kid. She considered taking the belt out for a spin. The fact that this would annoy her step-father was reason enough to do it. At first Pat was not at all happy with his step-daughter’s super-heroics, fearing that she would come to harm. The more he complained, the more determined she became to use the belt. Eventually, their relationship grew, and they were both surprised to discover that she actually had a talent for super-heroics.
The responsibility of being a superhero caused Courtney to grow and mature. Her mother and Pat Dugan eventually grew to respect and support her in her super-hero career. Pat even backed her up in a robotic suit of armor he invented called S.T.R.I.P.E. With Pat’s help, she eventually joined the Justice Society of America, where she treasures her chance to learn from the greatest and most experienced superheroes in history.
As a member of the Justice Society, she met Ted Knight’s son, Jack Knight, the new Starman. Jack and Courtney grew to like and respect each other. When Jack left the superhero business, he gave Courtney his Cosmic Staff, also developed by his father, the first Starman. The Staff allows Courtney to fly and emit concussive blasts of solar energy. Since getting to know and use the Cosmic Staff, Courtney has recently changed her superhero code name to Stargirl. Due to her link to both Stripsey and Starman, she is legacy hero of two different superhero traditions.
Personality :
Courtney could once best be described as a spoiled brat. Her career as a hero however, has forced her to mature into the well-rounded woman and heroine she is today. She is smart, sarcastic and very curious. She idolizes a good deal of male and female heroes and is always pretty amped to meet a new one. She still remains a typical young teenage woman, enjoying music, boys and movies. She is generally a friendly girl, but becomes quite violent when pushed over the edge.

Brief Sample Roleplay
Courtney did not even bother to attempt to hold back the tears that streamed down her face. Her family was dead, and she now stood over the ashy remains of their attackers. She had disintegrated every last one of them, with the powers that her rod contained. She closed her eyes and her grip went loose, the now hot pole slipping from her fingers and clanging to the floor. Stargirl would waste no time in following the device to the ground, and dropped to her knees in sorrow. She could feel her stomach begin to turn and knew that she was soon to be as physically ill as she already was mentally. She ripped the deep blue half mask from her face and flung it to the ground. The tears continued for nearly an hour before the teenager picked herself up from the floor and closed her eyes.
"Why....", she questioned as she looked upwards. "Why them?"
