Kelly Springer

Kelly Springer is a fictional character in the Legion of Lawndale Heroes series, and a member of The Alliance. A Cadet Second Year (like all members of Training Cadre 2996), Kelly in majoring in aerospace engineering (yes, she is a 'rocket scientist') and is, along with Zoey Robertson and David Allen Farrington, one of the smartest members of The Alliance. She is one of the team's designated pilots (David Allen is the other); she began learning to fly at age twelve, and is fully rated on prop-driven, multi-engine and jet aircraft, with over 300 hours in jets (including thirty-five hours in a variant of the Aurora recon aircraft, which she learned to fly during her internship year, spent at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

Kelly is 5'10 in height, with blonde hair and dark green eyes; she is unusually slender (but not unhealthy - 'lanky' would be the proper term) but attractive. She is slightly shy in personality, but is just as driven as the other cadets. She is also a closeted lesbian, and although the other members of her cadre are aware of this, she has not 'outed' herself for fear that she will be dismissed from military service (which she wishes to remain a part of, so that she can fly advanced aircraft).

Kelly has the metahuman abilities of superhuman strength, flight and invulnerability. Her power levels in each ability are approximately 1.5 times greater than that of a Kryptonian; in addition, Kelly does not have the same vulnerability to magical effects and powers that Kryptonians have (her resistance to such powers/effects is equal to wearing heavy body armor). In effect, Kelly is the strongest member of The Alliance and of of the five most poweful cadets to ever attend the United States Academy of Extranormal Studies. However, Kelly is vulnerable to psionic attacks, which can render her unconscious or comatose (but not kill her).
