Origin: Lita was abandoned on a reef by her Poseidonis birth parents.
They knew she was different, and decided like most Atlantians that
this
was a bad thing. She was found several hours later by Metal Man on his
way to Atlantis. He took the baby with him, and had Vulko check her out
while he spoke to King Arthur. Metal then spent a week checking in on
her as Vulko did tests. At the end of the week Vulko pronounced that
Lita was a healthy meta mer girl and that her meta powers would indeed
allow her to live with Metal in the JSA manison. So Metal adopted the
baby naming her Lita Biri Crane.
After a special nursery was designed for Lita, by Steel III with help
via Dr Fate, she joined the other kids of the JSA. Metal delighted in
Lita’s ability to modify her body... while she wasn’t a true
shapechanger, it was amazing what she could do. Metal asked his friend
Lagoon Boy( now Lagoon Man) to be her god father. While he raised her
most of the time on land with her ‘sister’ Steph, Metal wanted Lita to
understand her heritage- and so would send Lita during the summers to
live in Atlantis. When Steph went to the Knight Academy, Metal would
sometimes take leave of absenses and go with Lita to Atlantis.
In 2019- Lita was getting ready to go to the Academy herself. She had
heard good things about it from her sister. She also was hoping for
some
interaction with other kids like herself- metas. Then Steel III stopped
by, and rather than wanting to talk to the JSA or Metal, he wanted to
talk Lita. It seemed that the Watchmen had a difficult case which they
thought Lita might be able to help with. Lita needed little
convincing.... but Metal a little more. Metal had a closed door meeting
with Steel. The up shot was so long as Steel made sure that Lita worked
towards an online high school degree, that he make sure she had a nice
pool to sleep in and kept Metal informed about what was going on, Lita
would be allowed to do what she wanted
Training: While Lita has not gone the Knight Academy- she’s still
managed to learn from some of the best. From her ‘grampa’ Wildcat she’s
learnt fistacuffs, When she visited her sister at the Academy she got
pointers from Red on how to use her morphing abilities, and while he
was alive - her monarch King Arthur taught her how best to fight
undersea.
Powers: Lita has the ability to modify/evolve her body. She is able to
change her hair, eye and skin color. She has complete control over her
tail and turns it into legs without thinking. She is able to make it so
that she can breathe air or water, or even like one of Steel’s transuit
trace elements of space. She can survive any element that she’s thus
far
been thrown in. Like all undersea dwellers- her hearing is much better,
and she is alot stronger than she looks- owing to being able to survive
at the high underwater pressures that Atlantis exist in.
Lita has recently started experimenting to see if she can make her
muscles more dense and thus increase her super stregth. She is also
trying to see if she can make posions....
Personality: Growing up in the house of JSA, Lita has a clear sense of
right and wrong. While she has fun with ethic talks with Trickster, she
usually will not be swayed from her original view. She loves and
admires
her sister Stephanie. Though they could not be more different
genetically- in all the ways that count they are loving sisters. Lita
loves life, in all it’s forms. Her favorite bedtime story was Horton
Hears a Who-’ Because a person’s a person no matter what size’...
Recently Lita has come to the conclusion that what her father needs is
not another daughter but a wife....
