PRE-REBOOT

Her home planet of Naltor's native denizens are genetically  inclined to be precogs, with the ability to see in the future. Nura would be the most powerful of them, able to either dream with peculiar accuracy or see a few moments more into the future while awake than any other. Nura left Naltor to follow one her dreams in which she saw the end of a Legionnaire. She used her planet's science at which she was to be portrayed as expert  to change Lightning Lass into Light Lass by changing Lightning Lass's original powers from lightning casting to making objects super lightweight.  During this time she met Star Boy and finding him cute at first they began to date. Nura became very close to him and she was romantically involved with fellow Legionnaire Star Boy for many years. Partly due her non-combat but effective power, she then trained to become a skilled martial artist to learn to combat.

She left the Legion temporarily after first joining as she said she had joined under false pretenses as she had foreseen the deaths of some Legionnaires while dreaming and she proceeded to get those Legionnaires expelled from the Legion on the charges to save their lives. She was for a time a member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes until she rejoined with Star Boy, who had been previously expelled from the Legion for killing in self defense Nura's former love, Nestorian Kenz Nahor, who had tried to kill Star Boy over jealousy of his relationship with his former love Nura.
