With abilities that rival her own, this enigmatic stranger forces Kara to question everything: Who is this person? Are they a friend, a long-lost ally, or a dangerous threat wearing a familiar face?
As Kara digs deeper into the stranger’s origins, she uncovers secrets that could rewrite her understanding of her own past, her Kryptonian heritage, and what it truly means to be a hero on Earth. Legacy of Lies explores themes of identity, trust, belonging, and the heavy burden of legacy, all while delivering thrilling action, heartfelt drama, and emotional stakes.

*Say something you think would fit*
Voice Actor
The oldest child of Clark Kent (Superman) and Lois Lane. A senior in high school who has only recently manifested her Kryptonian powers. Her parents have strictly forbidden her from using them for now, but she secretly bends (and sometimes outright breaks) that rule when she feels it’s necessary.
Character Description: Lara is a sweet, warm-hearted young woman with a strong moral compass. She’s generally kind and protective of others, especially her family and friends, but she has that classic teenage edge—she can be dismissive, sarcastic, or a little impatient when she’s stressed or trying to hide her double life. Her voice should sound like a relatable, modern 18-year-old: friendly and approachable with occasional dry humor or teenage exasperation. Capable of shifting from light-hearted banter to serious, determined moments.
Voice Qualities:
Warm, expressive, youthful female voice (late teens/early 20s range)
Good emotional range: sweetness, sarcasm, determination, vulnerability
Clear diction for action and dialogue-heavy scenes
No specific accent required (neutral American)

“Hey, you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost… or worse, Mr. Jenkins’ pop quiz.”
“Yes, Dad, I promise I’m not using my powers. I’m just a normal, boring high school senior who definitely didn’t accidentally lift a car this morning. Totally normal.”
“I’m tired of pretending I’m weak. People are in danger, and I can help. If Mom and Dad won’t understand that… then I’ll just have to do it without them knowing"
Voice Actor
Daughter of John Henry Irons (Steel), Lara Kent’s best friend, and the resident computer genius/tech prodigy at their high school.
Character Description: Natalie is brilliant, quick-witted, and confident. She’s the friend who can hack the school system before breakfast and build custom gadgets in her garage. While she’s incredibly smart, she’s not aloof—she’s loyal, supportive, and has a sharp sense of humor that pairs perfectly with Lara’s sarcasm. She’s the voice of reason when Lara gets reckless, but she’s always ride-or-die for her best friend. Think tech-savvy bestie with charm, sass, and hidden depths.
Voice Qualities:
Bright, intelligent-sounding teenage/young adult female voice
Fast-paced when excited about tech, warm and supportive with friends

Voice Actor
The younger son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Lara’s impulsive little brother who idolizes his big sister and his dad’s hero legacy.
Character Description: Jon is energetic, optimistic, and impulsive—a classic “act first, think later” kid with a big heart.

He’s playful, a bit cheeky, and has a strong sense of justice, but he still has that wide-eyed wonder of a 13-year-old. He looks up to Lara and can be both endearing and frustrating to her. Think loyal little brother mixed with reckless excitement.

“You used your super-hearing to eavesdrop on me again, didn’t you? That’s so unfair! I don’t have any cool powers yet… unless you count eating an entire pizza in one sitting.”
“I’m not scared. If you’re going after those guys, I’m coming too. We’re Kents. We stick together… even when you’re being all bossy and big-sister-y.”
