Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend.

Image Songs
Here's a couple songs that I picked to use with Shen. The first is her theme song, the second her 'image' song. Just click the links to DL them! Enjoy them.
Affiliation
Shortly after Shen arrived in Galaxy City, she had heard about a recruitment fair for Earth bound SuperGroups. She attended this fair, and found herself quite overwhelmed by all of the groups there, as well as the vast amount of information before her. She had just arrived on Earth, after all, and had hardly a chance to learn the language. But one group did stick out to her.. The Global_Defenders. She spent weeks searching for members of their group (she had lost track of them in all of the confusion of the fair). When she found them, she was allowed to join their group. Luckily. Since that, she has worked hard to be of use to the group, and make friends of all it's members.
Personality
99% of the time, Shen seems.. well happy. Almost joyous, in fact. Sure there are those times when she doesn't seem at 100%, but who is? But wherever she goes, whoever she interacts with, she does her best to keep up the best attitude she can. She loves all of her friends (even the ones she just met!), and she isn't shy about making sure they know how important they are to her. How much she really does care for everyone around her. One of her favorite sayings from the Tome Of Blegario.. "Manijka ve Tsuri tokima", which means (roughly).. "No matter how far apart we are, there will always be a link between our hearts". It is a creed she lives her life by.
She is also in the middle of learning the English language, and it's endless intricacies. She often gets a human phrase wrong, but more often than not she gets the point across. Shen likes to sing. Alot. She does have a very beautiful voice (Someone told her she sounded like Vienna Teng(Don't be afraid to click, just a link to a Vienna Teng song for your pleasure and reference)). When she isn't around anyone, she often can be heard humming 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star', one of her favorite tunes. A fact anyone over the Defenders comms will attest to.
Some have called her.. very innocent and naive. And in fact that is true to a certain degree. She gives everyone a chance, from her friends to enemies, to do the right thing. She has an innate belief that given half a chance, all beings want to do the right thing. And this has gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion, but she keeps to it.
"Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, Deep-burning and unquenchable." -Bruce Lee
Powers And Abilities
Shen is a Telluxian. And like all of the world of Tellux, she has many abilities humans would consider 'superhuman'. Each being of her race is able to absorb cosmic radiation.. radiation born of space and the stars themselves.. and manipulate that energy for their use. This gives them a number of offensive and defensive abilities, as well as the ability to heal themselves and fly. They can also use their powers to cloak their very being, or to take other forms.
Like all of her race, she can survive in the cold vacuum of space for prolonged periods of time. Telluxians are able to travel between planets, and even regions of space, without harm to their being. They have an 'energy form', which allows them to travel the farthest, though such long travel does leave them weak until they are able to absorb more radiation.
Her physiology is also more durable than most humans. She is stronger and able to take more punishment than an average human could.
A Little Bit Of Her Story
Born upon the distant world ("Tellux is many stars away from your Earth") Tellux, Aleta 'Shengkou' did not know her parents, really. They were killed when she was but a nipling (child). She and her older sister, Kelliana 'Rhenagkou', were raised by their uncle. He taught them the importance of friendship, as well as the ways of combat.
When Shen was old enough (able to walk on her own), she was recruited by the Starlight Knights. They are an organization of peacekeepers made up of beings from across the universe. Shen fought for the Knights, but never forgot her home or family. She was given the codename 'Star Runner'.. both for her ability to survive in outter space with no aid and her powers of stellar radiation. She loved being a part of the Knights. It gave her a real purpose in life, and allowed her to help those who could not help themselves. During one of her missions, she was chasing an intergalactic outlaw. A pirate, in fact, named Horus Arch. The chase lead her through our Solar System, and in passing she noticed the planet Earth. Rather, she noticed the suffering upon our world. A suffering born of threats and oppression of extra-terrestial and terrestial beings. Her heart ached for our world.
So many years later, she had the oppurtunity to choose her own posting. A quadrant of space to watch over herself. She chose our Solar System, having never forgot what she saw upon the Earth. And so to the Earth she ventured, heading to Paragon City.. which she saw as an epicenter of trouble. And she was right. She joined the Global Defenders.. a very exclusive group of heroes determined to keep the world safe from all manner of threat.
There are times in her present life where she misses her old friends amongst the Starlight Knights. Nights spent looking up at the distant stars with a certain yearning. For most of her time here, she has been homesick. A fact she tries not to let her new friends see, but she is often overcome with the feeling. She misses her uncle, her sister (to something of a lesser degree) and her loved ones amongst the Knights. But she has chosen to help the Earth..her new friends amongst the Global Defenders.
How do you let someone go? How do you understand that’s alright? That everything changes. How do you find a way for that to make you feel good about life, instead of breaking your heart? The hardest thing you’ll ever learn is how to say good-bye.
Misc. Info!
-Shen's favorite television program is 'Sesame Street', and Grover is her favorite character. Why does she love the show? It has taught her alot about the English language and it's use, as well as numbers. Just as it would a preschooler. In fact, she can sing the Alphabet Song to anyone who will listen.
-She is allergic to a flower that can grow on asteroids, called the Felsha Flower. But she is also allergic to gin!
-The Tome of Blegario is a tome that most Telluxians read. It is made up of several books and scrolls, and is 1 million 500 thousand lines long. It is essentially a guide for morals and principles. It's the Telluxian version of a bible, but not as religious.
-She loves long island ice teas, even if she is allergic to the gin in them. It makes her neck and face break out in hives.
-Shen also likes changing costumes often. She has to many to love wearing just one. It's not unusual for her to enter different missions wearing different costumes.
Often times, we never truly realize how much we take our loved ones for granted. It is only after they are gone that we can honestly see how much we really need them. So take the opportunity to tell your loved ones just how much they mean to you. Because if you don’t … you may look back someday and wish you had.
