Who is Araya's favorite superhero and why do they admire them?

Supergirl is Araya's favorite superhero. Because she's a reluctant hero. And Araya can identify with that. No one told her to be a hero or a good friend. Or what it wild be like to be the little sister to an older sister with special needs, which at times makes her the big sister sometimes. She just accepts the responsibility of being who she's meant to be.


Where did Araya's love of superheroes come from?

Probably from her mother who is a hero in her own right. Compassion for others and strength of character come from her mothers' living example.


What superpower would Araya want and why?

A powerful heart. A heartfelt power to reach deep into the heart of friends and rivals alike and remind them of the good in the world. The power of friendship. To make us whole. The power of light inside all living beings, to do good and overcome the most hurtful and painful parts of ourselves. The power of love.
