Starchild is a hero of Kryptonian mythology.
History
According to the House of Ra's "house fable", Starchild and her twin brother Red Son were the children of the sun god Rao who fell from the sky to Krypton in the planet's prehistory. They were each discovered by one of two warring tribes; the Aivor and the Eldani. Starchild grew up to be a champion of the Eldani and lead them in battle against her brother and the Aivor.
Both tribes' homelands were destroyed in a battle between two giants below the planet's surface. The siblings, whose bond was so strong that they trusted each other despite a lifetime of being taught to hate one another, put aside their differences and lead both their peoples through the Caverns of Mungu to a new home.
On their journey they were attacked by a monster which rained down fire from the sky. Starchild was killed but her soul became a shield to protect her brother even in death.
In the present day Otho-Ra adopted the codename Starchild in tribute to the legendary hero.
