b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.

A. I have to agree with this review when it calls Kara "not so much a teenage girl as she was a metaphor for ALL teenage girls." There's a purity to the archetype, as with the Cuckoos, that I appreciate--even if I recognize the archetype itself to be problematic.

B. Kara has a honesty to her. It's partly due to her innocence and naivete--Bruce and Clark have learned that they have to keep secrets--but also partly due to a genuineness and sincerity which is endearing.

C. She's a teenager. Enough said.

D. N/A

E. N/A

F. Supergirl/Oracle!!!

Supergirl/Oracle? My brain is broken, intrigued and deadly curious all at the same time.

Oh, and after reading your Amy response, I'm not sure if you've ever caught my Divide and Conquer Amy fic. I'd be curious as to your thoughts.

Well, I love Kara, and everyone loves Barbara. And Barbara manages to involve herself everywhere, which means that Supergirl/Oracle is easy to set up. So it seemed like a natural choice, especially because I don't read much DCU and don't have a long list of characters that I'm able to read/write. But in any case, I desperately wanted to read some Supergirl/Oracle and when I couldn't find any decided I would have to write it myself.

I think I have read "Divide and Conquer" before. It's a good fic and well-written, but my main thought is to remember seeing the idea that Amy was manipulated by the First elsewhere, and to wonder how that piece of fanon became so ubiquitous.

Huh. Honestly, that's not something I've actually ever seen elsewhere. Yet. Though when the idea hit me, it was a sorta-"That explains EVERYTHING!!" moment which I'm not too egotistical to deny couldn't hit other people as well.

Definitely seen other people using the same pheromones fanwank as I did to explain away The Girl In Question after all...

And now, I really, really want to read Supergirl/Oracle, because it's not a pairing that I've even thought of before, let alone could see working. I am officially intrigued.

[alixtii.livejournal.com]

You see the way I see it, Barbara can be paired with anyone in the DCU.

Granny Goodness.

Space Cabby.

The Shaggy Man.

Wildfire.

Lady Shiva.

I challenge you. :P

[alixtii.livejournal.com]

Doesn't Shiva actually appear in Birds of UST Prey? I haven't seen the relevant issues, or anything she's ever been in, but I would have expected that one to be an easy one.

I don't know who the other people are, but I'm sure they could be made to work.

Oracle/Joker is about the only thing I don't see working (or if it did, it would be really, really dark, possibly too dark).

*reads Wikipedia articles*

Wait, why don't you think Barbara/Space Cabbie would work?

[booster17.livejournal.com]

Space... Y'know. Millions and millions of parsecs away. Hell of a long distance relationship.

[alixtii.livejournal.com]

And time as well (although there seems to be issues as to that)? But think, Barbara's vast communications network somehow hooks into Space Cabbie's comm systems. Instant romance.
