I want to be strong -- strong enough to control this. I want the loneliness not to hurt anymore. I want their respect -- wait, no. It can't involve them. I want... not to feel afraid of myself. I want to feel at peace.
- — Lynari Lili'alo src
Lynari Lili'alo was a runaway from a war-torn asteroid, in possession of their world's greatest weapon. The hot-headed young royal befriended Kara Zor-El, the Superwoman, as they faced confrontation from rival members of Lynari's family.
Following the ordeal, Lynari became one of Superwoman's closest confidantes and aides in her lifelong mission to help Earth's lunar colony flourish.
History
Lynari was the child of the King of the Starswamp Asteroid, a land torn apart by war between two factions of the royal family: Lynari's, which chose to reside in the sea, and another which took to the skies. The factions fought viciously for generations over the powerful Starfall Jewel; the King eventually found the gem buried beneath the war-torn muck and took its power into him.
Eventually, Lynari's faction lost their upper hand. The King sacrificed his life to remove the jewel from his body, bestowing its power to Lynari to protect them. Frightened and grieving, Lynari fled the asteroid alone on a starship until they landed on Earth's moon, which they had heard was a refuge for lost and troubled people throughout the galaxy.
Meeting Superwoman
After a hard crash landing into the lunar colony, Lynari caused a ruckus when they rushed out of the ship without warning and were accosted by Kara Zor-El, the Superwoman. Kara took sympathy on Lynari and spent many days showing them how to live amongst peaceful society. With time, Lynari learned to master their shapeshifting powers to help other people. Eventually, their Aunt Kimara managed to hunt them down in hopes of taking the jewel, nearly destroying a lunar city in the process. Lynari stood up to Kimara and used all of their power to completely destroy the Starfall Jewel so that their family no longer had a reason to fight. Lynari implored Kimara to find peace and stay with them on the lunar colony.
Later Life

Lynari chose to remain on the lunar colony for millennia, guiding Kimara in how to have a purpose without power struggles. Eventually, Kimara took on her own students in kind, and the cycle continued onward as those who found peace paid it forward. At least two of their second cousins eventually came to the colony to do the same, adrift without war to give them purpose.
Lynari chose to spend their life on the Moon, remaining Kara's close friend and confidante all throughout her life. The community continued to flourish long after Kara eventually passed away. They also became a parent, raising their family in a happy life on the moon brought on by Kara's hard work in her lifetime.
