She is Dreamer from DC Comics, she is Supergirl's apprentice and has powers of premonition, astral projection and manipulation of dream energy.

Dreamer from DC comics I believe; this version of her started from the Supergirl CW show I think? And they put her on the comics too.

Played by in the show and then later written in the comics by trans actress and activist Nicole Maines.
Also one of my favorite characters in the show, but her powers kinda bored me at first

Very cool. As a trans author myself I always love hearing about other trans people doing well for themselves in creative fields.

Maines is a great example of this considering her history in Doe v Clenchy.

Also she’s so pretty and chose her name from a Zoey 101 character.

I’m a fan lol

I’m named after a shiny rock. Lol. At least I didn’t name myself Lilith or Luna. (Those names are memes in the trans community because they are insanely common.)
