Starling was the Sky Knight of her squadron The Interceptors of Terra Mesa until a tragic battle brought them down. Now she's a lone wolf. Friends? "Don't need 'em," she always says. But that's because deep down she can't bear the thought of losing them again. For now, Starling can be considered a part-time Storm Hawk. She doesn't buy into all that heroic mumbo jumbo, but she can (almost) always be counted on in a jam. More than a few times she's shown up just at the right moment with a crucial piece of information, or to help in a particularly gruesome dogfight. Starling has learned to be a master of disguises, capable of infiltrating the most powerful circles.
