I'd say something along the lines of the ability to remain calm and collected in the face of virtually any trauma. (In addition to the SuziQ's reference to her infamous links, need I remind everyone about her visit to the Precious Moments Chapel or that she saw Carrot Top Full Monty and emerged from the experience with sanity and eyes intact?)
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Always Anti-fascist!
Snark that can kill, but only sometimes. Maybe home and away hero costumes: One in silver, one in pink gingham. everyone wants to be her sidekick.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Going off Fred's idea, in one heritage family the first and second born daughters are interested in other things. The youngest is obviously destined for another calling. But the middle child, who appears to have few outstanding attributes? Begs to be included, and once in training, blows everyone away and kicks ass.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Im not sure how best to work in her being a Moon, but it's gotta happen.
Maybe that could be her origin story -she's actually a Moon the way Starlord's Dad is a planet?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

So far, the costume appears to be black leather pants and a pink gingham sports top. Good for fighting AND kicking back and reading comics.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
You guys, a friend of ours has been dealing with chronic bad migraines after getting a concussion last year. And there is literally nothing I can say to him or his fiance, because all I can think of is ita.*
Though he's a straight white middle-class dude, so I imagine his medical care will be vastly better than hers.
*(I do know that chronic migraine can be treated more effectively than ita's was, and I hope that my friend's migraine is responsive to treatment. But I just remember everything she went through, and I worry for him.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sometimes relying on stock phrases is good. Warm thoughts for you, and ~ma for yourr friend.
Because the fix for inequality and injustice is to treat every with the respect that white guys get, rather than grinding everyone down to the same level of injustice as WOC.
