Personality [Done]
Basic Outline: She isn’t reserved and rather open about herself, happy about her heritage as a Thanagarian and Human, but is unable to express it as it would ruin the conceal identity and people might get the wrong idea of a Thanagarian being on earth, but it also causes concerns for herself as she feels out of place in the world being a hybrid. It does not stop her from being outgoing and somewhat spontaneous, given the freedom her wings offer her. She is a deep advocate for those with lesser power, not minding to speak up about it.
As her alter ego, Naliah is a ruthless fighter, as brute force and aerial moves is how she operates. Thanks to Hawkwoman teaching her knowledge of Nth metal, she is able to use its power as a ricochet, giving out bursts of energy
Main Flaws: She tries her best not to cause trouble, letting things slide when they truly do bother her.
Romance History: She was never successful in that aspect, few times getting asked out and vice-versa, but nothing other than the first date and just awkward flirting. They were quick to leave her be
Brief Background [Done]
During the war between the Gordanian and the Thanagarians, the Thanagarians were much more prominent over Earth, being seen as protectors without the actual intent of their stay being revealed. Vetalla Dae was one of the military leaders who were stationed over a small areas in in the US. During her time, she had taken it upon herself to expand upon the culture of humans based on Shayera’s intel while spying on earth. It gave her a chance to highlight her accomplishments in the military as humans were more inclined to ask her questions about who she was and her role. It did not bother her, but she made sure to keep contact with others as a minimum since she did not need them weighing in on her conscious. During her times of being bombarded with questions, she was met with a man who challenged the rewards of her career, asking her if her occupation of the location was needed in order to protect earth.
This created a tense dialogue between the two- him putting his heart on his sleeve and words while her responses were from trained and complicit training. It was long before she grew attached to the man. Unfortunately, as soon as she had taken him as her lover, she tried to convince him to leave the earth as it was going to be destroyed, revealing the real intent of the Thanagarians. Luckily enough, the Justice League had stopped it from happening and sent all the Thanagarians home, including Vetalla Dae. On her home-world, that was when she discovered that she was pregnant.
Seeing how she did not want her future child to be raised in a world where she would be trained to be a soldier the moment she is born or being treated as a hybrid-outcast, Vetalla had transported herself to Earth without warning anyone through a Mother Box, giving her lover the news. Seeing as it would be inevitable for her to be captured and imprisoned by the Thanagarians, she stayed in secret on Earth for the birth of their child, making videos and encapsulated memories of everything they did, taking pictures of everything around them. After the first year of Naliah’s birth, the Thanagarians were finally able to locate Vetalla with the assistance of Hawkwoman and Hawkman who dwere involved to avoid another incident.
There was then the debate of Naliah and if she belong on Thanagar or on Earth. Both parents agreed for Naliah to be on earth, convincing them that she does not have wings nor appears to have extra bones in her body to form them. It was agreed that Hawkwoman and Hawkman would be looking over the child for any changes and as an incentive for the Thanagarians to leave with Vetalla in custody.
Despite no indication of wings, they did not start developing until she had reached puberty, as the trait is maternal. Thanks to her hybrid physiology, she is able to retract the wings into her body, but not for long periods of time as her skin will try to close the slits for her wings because of her regenerative properties. That was when Hawkwoman took it upon herself to train the girl as soon as she turned 15 as her wings her finally big enough for flight and aerial combat.
Her father gotten married to another woman when Naliah was four years old to keep a maternal figure in her life, giving her an older brother who was nine years old. Her father told Julia about having Naliah with another woman, but not explaining that the woman was of another species or the circumstances. He did not have a choice however when his own daughter experienced her first time her wings developed as he was the only one with the truth.

Family History/Relationship: Her secrets, worries, and hopes all lie within James as her trusted confidant, despite him at college so far away. He is more reserved with his own problems and they try not to mention at how they have different mothers and fathers. Between her and her step mother is fine, but not perfect as expected. One thing that they can talk about is the properties of her Nth metal
Abilities [DONE]
Powers: She has enhanced hearing and vision, but nothing to the extent of Superman. Her hearing does get a big overwhelmed at times and catches herself yelling out a response because of the noise. Because of her Thanagarian hybrid, she is stronger than the average human with stamina and resistance to pain. She is capable of fighting better in the air with weapons, but prefers high speed chases and expanding on it.
Weapon: A shishpar that is made from Nth metal
