Origin: Christine Kars is the daughter of the late Mark Kars, head librarian of the Sandview Public Library, and his deceased wife Sandra Kars. Sandra died at childbirth so Christine's father, Mark, raised her. He passed on his love of books to her and as a child she often could be found buried in one of her favorite novels. Mark later died in a suspicious fire that burnt his beloved library to the ground.
Christine, who deeply loved her father and his library, was 17 at the time and just finishing up her third year at Sandview High. She went to live with her guardian and eventual adoptive father, Gregory Tines: big-time businessman and long time friend of her father.
Christine went to college at Stratus University for a Masters Degree in Library Science. Her ardent reading and healthy hunger for knowledge helped her to easily graduate top of her class and in record time. Even though she could have chosen from a multitude of careers and positions, only one would ever appeal to her.
She followed in her father's footsteps with the help of her adoptive father who had funded the rebuilding of the town's library after the fire. Christine started from the bottom and worked her way up to the top and by age 22, she had reached her dream position of head librarian.
Then, hidden in one of her father's old books, Christine found a document that confirmed her suspicions that the fire that had killed her father had been no accident. It had been set by Sandview's very own Police Chief Manfield to destroy microfilms that connected him to a decade old conspiracy and to kill her father before he could go to the police with information he had found in those microfilms.
With all her heart, she wishes she could land Manfield into jail but this is impossible without proof. And proof she does not have. Yet.
Now Christine travels the world for evidence to avenge her father's death and to make sure truth is never hidden. Knowledge is her sword and justice her shield. She is the sworn protector of the written word and thus, the world.
Cloaked in purple and gold she is ...
The Super Librarian!
Powers
Extreme Knowledge – from all her reading
And high-tech gadgets- that her adoptive father provides her from his company Tines Laboratories.
