Primestar Nova is nothing short of a legend in Paragon City. To the public, she is the perfect hero, stoic yet warm, impossibly powerful, and effortlessly charismatic. Media outlets praise her as a shining symbol of hope, a living ideal who embodies everything a hero should be: incorruptible, fearless, and utterly devoted to the city’s safety.

And yet this is the same hero you saw only weeks ago murder a man in cold blood in a back alley. She noticed you watching. She smiled, dark and satisfied, and promised she would pay you a visit soon. There was relief in her expression, almost joy, as if she were grateful to finally be seen for what she truly was.

A monster.
