Dawnstar is an American Indian with wings and superluminal flight and tracking powers, and a 30th/31st Century member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Edit
ORIGIN
Dawnstar is of American Indian heritage, although no specific tribe was ever linked with her. Her original and long-standing costume is light yellow, with long fringes on sleeves and crotch, a plunging back and neckline, and fringed boots. She has long, straight black hair, full lips, high cheekbones, and brown eyes. Her skin was colored in the salmon hue commonly used for American Indian comic-book characters.
Dawnstar's parents are Mistrider and Moonwalker, and her younger brothers are Greybird and Greatfire. During her late childhood and early teens, her parents built a thriving business on their daughter's abilities. Dawnstar would guide spaceships through hazardous areas of space.
She served in many missions with the Legionnaires, contributing her often underrated talents at tracking and high-speed travel to perform many rescues of her colleagues, as well as investigations of personal disappearances and similar mysteries. She brought these talents into many Legion adventures in other times, especially the 20th Century. Notable here is her early role in the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Dawnstar had a lengthy, tragic romance with fellow Legionnaire Wildfire. They each respected the other's defiant, outspoken personality, although they each counseled each other on working with their talents as part of a team instead of acting as individuals. Wildfire was an anti-energy being in a containment suit, and thus had no physical body. When he briefly was able to partially reverse this, they attempted a physical relationship, but were unsuccessful.
In the Legion of Super-Heroes v4 series, Dawnstar was possessed by an evil entity called Bounty who amputated her wings and forced her to use her tracking powers as an assassin. Dawnstar was later freed from the Bounty entity's control. The storyline was never resolved, as her timeline was erased by the events depicted in Zero Hour.
In post-Zero Hour continuity, Dawnstar has not appeared. Before the current rebooted LSH story line (volume 5), a character was depicted called Shikari from another non-human race, the Kwai, who had pathfinding powers of similar scope and insectoid wings. Some Legion fans believed that Shikari was a post-Zero-Hour Dawnstar, but this was denied by various Legion writers.
The solicitation and cover turned out to be misleading. The Dawnstar character turns up only in a series of "campfire stories" told by groupie fans of the characters of the current Legion (primarily written by Mark Waid and drawn by Kitson). It was a fill-in issue between larger story lines, and it didn't suggest that Dawnstar will be reintroduced in that title anytime soon.
