Peta and her younger brother Meph were born only minutes apart to current Legion leader Jasmine Cullen (Kid Quantum II) and Legion founding member Rokk Krinn (Cosmos). Growing up with a taste for adventure, Peta often dragged her brother into all sorts of trouble, often on the alien worlds their parents frequented, as they would take an occasional leave of absence to tour the galaxy with their twins, invariably running into *some* sort of trouble… Peta thrived on this lifestyle, while her brother was less impressed.

Not having any developed super-powers by her early teens, Peta decided that she would become an emergency services worker of some sort, perhaps even a doctor, because she couldn’t imagine not helping others, even if she couldn’t be a Legionnaire. She poured herself into research, even browbeating an exasperated Brainiac 5 into helping her find information on the cutting edge. (Finding the available data woefully inadequate, and inconveniently formatted, Brainiac 5 ended up spending a few hours designing a full-year lesson plan, one that saw Peta and Meph through the various emergency services exams with two of the highest scores ever recorded!). Paradoxically, her stay-at-home brother spent a lot of time out and about during their teen years, thriving in the urban environment among people his own age, just as she did ‘roughing it’ on alien worlds. Privately, she worried that he wasn’t pulling his weight, since he spent so much time slacking with his friends.

Peta and Meph had just turned fifteen when Dreamer showed up at Legion HQ and the next thing she knew, she was being bundled out the door by her parents, who were uncharacteristically dismissive of her questions. Meph was just coming home from a late night out when he got a confusing panicky call from his sister, and was just entering the plaza at a dead run when the crimson Boom Tube slammed down like a thunderbolt and took their parents, and the only real home they’d ever known, away forever, leaving only a smoldering crater in the center of Legion plaza, and an empty place in their hearts that would never again be filled.

Peta’s powers manifested only moments later, with golden-green torrents of nuclear fire pouring off of her in waves, disintegrating everything around her as she screamed for her parents to come back. It was synchonicity that Meph also manifested his powers at that moment, unconsciously repairing and shielding the surroundings from his sister’s grief, too caught up in trying to contain the waves of power pouring off of her to have time to confront his own feelings. Walking into the waves of energy lapping around her, he quelled the nuclear fires and repaired the damage that she had already inflicted with his own atomic forces, and held her while she cried herself out.

When Brainiac 5 returned, Peta was one of the first to force her way to his side, to try and find out what had happened to their parents, but he had no recollection of the Legion’s last moments, and indeed awoke as a greater threat to the city, one that she and Meph had to help to contain, using her newfound powers to blow rogue SP vehicles and construction mechs from the sky, while Meph healed those injured, and repaired and reinforced whatever structures he could.

When Brainiac 6 appeared, constructing a new headquarters where her home had once stood, seemingly defiling her parents’ memory, she was ready to blast it from the sky, but Meph held her hand and told her to wait, recognizing Graym, Garm and several others among the gathering crowd. When it was pointed out to her that this was a temporary structure, specifically designed to complement Legion HQ *when* (not if) it returned, her face tightened in resolve and she was among the first to volunteer. Noting that she had, as usual, volunteered him as well, Meph, as usual, went along.

In the months that the Legacy team has been active, she has found herself in a relationship with the frustratingly laid-back Lamn Mallor, son of Lar Gand (Valor) and Tasmia Mallor (Umbra). She likes him, a lot (and will never admit that he reminds her a little bit of her brother), but it gets hard to have a serious talk about where they are going as a couple when she’s in mid-making-a-point, and yes, perhaps she’s raised her voice, but he’s just sitting there with his arms crossed and *smiling,* the bastard. And then he shakes his head, grabs her up in his terrifyingly strong arms with that searchingly serious look in his eyes and kisses her. He’s just impossible to reason with!

The less said about her kid brothers’ relationship with that cradle-robbing creature of the night, Twilight, the better. He’s all sneaking around, like *everyone* doesn’t know. She’s supposed to be a *teacher,* for grife’s sake, and it’s not like she was ever good enough to be an actual Legionnaire, and she’s *old,* and could it be any grosser to date someone who dated your father! What the hell is he thinking? It’s like a Greek tragedy, which you’d think she’d be old enough to know about...

Peta is in good shape, and works out regularly, always 'out-drawing' Meph on contests of speed, or out-lasting him on endurance races. She has lighter skin, more like her father, and dark brown eyes. She wears her black curly hair cut close to her scalp, to keep it out of her way and has a uniform that looks quite a bit like her mothers, but with leggings and in shades of dark metallic gold and jade green. (Her 'fire' is a brighter dazzling green, and sheds a warm yellow glow.) Their parents never officially married, considering it an archaic custom, and Peta and Meph have chosen to take both of their parents family names (in a slightly different order), rather than pick one.
