DreamSet Circus | Prism

A new baby appeared todaayyyy!!

This is Prism! She works at DreamSet Circus (aka the circus where Calypso is a ringleader). She can control light and colors. Like, she can physically touch rays of light and bend them to her will (its probably photokinesis??). With colors, she can touch p much anything and change it to any color she pleases.

I'm not 100% certain one her personality, but Prism is kinda clingy, esp with Calypso since he pretty much was in her life since birth??? She also spends a lot of time helping Diana make costumes for the others. I think shes a bit of a trickster, too, since she seems to really enjoy messing with random objects colors.

My brother and I were watching Super Why the other day because we were bored, and one of us had said something that I haven't really stopped thinking about:

What if Super Why was more like Wordgirl?

Like, I get that both shows were made with different age demographics in mind and such but just here me out for a sec.

I loved Super Why as a kid but I always kinda wished there had been something more to it. Because once you think about what each Super Reader could probably do with their powers, you kind of wish the show had been different from what it was. So join me, if you will, and listen to me ramble about a concept for a children's show that ended four years ago.

So let's assume that this either takes place in a more modern day Storybook Village (is it Storybook or Storybrooke? I could never quite hear what Whyatt was saying) or the 'real world' where none of the characters have anything to do with fairy tales and are all, by extension, humans. The Super Reader's are all about nine or ten (Heck, maybe their all slightly different ages. I did always get the impression that Pig was the youngest of the group) and trying to live double lives as normal kids and vaguely fairy tale themed superheroes. Naturally, in order for there to be heroes, there need to be villains. For the time being, let's just go with some generic baddies. But let's talk about our heroes.

We've got Jade, commonly known as Red (Because it always seemed weird that Whyatt was the only one with an actual name. That and there's something funny about her name essentially being 'green' despite red clearly being her favortie color) and also the hero Wonder Red. She's your usual red character - spunky, short tempered, stubborn. You know how it is. I wanna say she's sort of the second in command of the team. If Whyatt's sick or otherwise unable to join the fight, she'll take over for the time being. With her Wonder Words Basket, she's able to use the power of words to stop the villains in their tracks. Let's say some guy is trying to use some kind of magic clock to stop time to rob places. Red can just turn the clock into a sock, or a rock, or a block, etc. Since Red's power relies heavily on rhyming, she's probably a quick thinker as a result. I think that at the beginning of the 'series' she'd probably use the first word that comes to mind, which could make things worse in some situations (Just imagine her turning that clock into a dock. The city block they're fighting in would be wrecked), but would eventually learn to think about the word she chooses before she uses it.

Priscilla, sometimes referred to as simply 'P', is the hero known as Princess Presto. Priscilla's the peacemaker of the team. If Red and Whyatt are butting heads about something, she's there to convince them that they're being silly. As Princess Presto, she takes more of a supporting role. She's content with sitting in the back and spelling words to mess with their enemies while Wonder Red and Super Why are in the thick of it. It's also because she's a bit of a slow speller, but she gets better as the series progresses. In the time it used to take her to spell 'cage,' she could make magical constructs of minotaurs or dragons to combat stronger foes. Maybe she starts using full on sentences too.

Now, Alpha Pig - known as Peter in this - is where I've hit a bit of a roadblock. Because while alphabet powers work well in books (I've also got a book related villain to justify them occasionally going into books in this), I can't find much of a practical use outside of that. So I figured his powers are relagated to being strictly book applicable and relying on gadgets the rest of the time. Anyway, Peter's the youngest memeber of the team. He's a bit of a wallflower and when he's a away from his friends, he can be found tinkering away in their hideout or his room making tools to help him save the day.

And last but not least, we have the leader of the Super Readers, Whyatt. Whyatt is fun, charismatic, and cool under pressure. When the kids became heroes, Whyatt was suddenly thrust into the role as the leader, much to his unspoken chagrin (But he does eventually grow into the role). Now, I had the same issue with Super Why that I did with Alpha Pig. If you give him the power to change the story in the real world, then he could just make it so that crime doesn't exist, which makes him just the tiniest bit overpowered. As a result, SW gets to rely on his secondary powers outside of books.

...Oh crud, I forgot about their secondary powers.

So kinda like Wordgirl, the gang don't rely entirely on their word based powers. Wonder Red has super strength speed, Princess Presto's wand gives her telekinesis and can fly, Super Why can fly and has heat vision, and Pig just has his gadgets.

And that's about it. Truth be told, this was kinda fun to write. While I was doing it, I came up with a bunch of other stuff for it. So if you're curious or want to add your own ideas to it, just go to my asks.

BIO ▸

「 priscilla quintana. female. she/her. 」 —  is that KATERINA LAVEAU i just saw in thornhollow? word around is that they’re a 26/108 year old SIREN, but i doubt that’s true. they’re pretty SASSY from what i know, but i’ve heard a rumor that they can be SHORT-TEMPERED too; must be why they’re the OWNER OF TERRA. they kinda remind me of RUBY RED LIPSTAINS ON CHAMPAGNE GLASSES, LEATHER JACKET WITH SKY HIGH HEELS & DANCING ON BARTOPS.  ( harlow. she/her. 26. gmt/uk. )

Katerina is still young in spirit compared to many of her kind, he was captured around her 13th birthday before she had any real idea of what her ‘gift’ could become and create. Sold to the highest bidder and kept within wealthy families, Katerina was seen as the most prized treasure and often forced to perform for her masters’ guests, not only using her beautiful song but often as a trinket to be passed around; her talent used to trick others into bending to her masters every whim. She knew a life of living in a tank, entering the water bound in chains, at the mercy of whoever held the key and otherwise kept isolated and forced to eat only when it was in service to another. Wars were waged, land stolen and soon death followed wherever Katerina and her owner stepped next. Escape didn’t come easy, and many attempts were met in failure, but it was by luck that a witch happened to be attending a ball in 2015 and realized who, or rather what, Katerina was, without hesitation they freed her. Following the witch back to New Orleans, not far from her birthplace itself, where she allowed herself to fall in love with music once more, even if her attitude came between her and any real, steady job. It is from here that she gave herself the last name Laveau after the famous Voodoo Queen. Numbed by her past, Katerina isn’t afraid to use her abilities, though still struggling with the reality of her true form, she is cautious simply because of how powerful her voice can be, and the way in which she uses it. Her fear of the ocean and transforming obviously hinders her in many ways, staying in her human form as much as possible and avoiding all the things that a typical siren may deem ‘normal’. She doesn’t speak openly about what she is or her past, many nights spent drinking rather than sleeping to avoid the vivid memories of those lonely nights in her golden cage. Though she respects the laws put in place, Kat loves to bend the rules and will often cause no end of chaos when feeling a little mischievous, including allowing her more primal instincts to take hold. Along with this, Kat is extremely loyal to those she deems worthy of the affection and would go to the ends of the earth for those few she trusts enough to be open with. She moved to town on kind of a whim after seeing Terra up for sale, trying to somewhat start fresh even if she is still so naive to the world around her, she’s committed herself to make it somewhat of an escape for others in the way she needs her own. The dark nature of the club is a stark contrast from the bubbly exterior Katerina puts out, but you best believe there are nights she’s either up on the bar dancing or in a dark corner enjoying a snack with the vamps. Still learning about the town and what goes on but mostly stays neutral.

WANTED CONNECTIONS ▸

hookups - kat is queen of the hoes, she isnt fussy by who she messes around with, she enjoys her freedom quite openly. she stays distant with most of these, though friendly she wont get closer than that

anyone working at terra - kat sees it as her own palace, the people working there she would see as close friends

frenemies? - kat has a lot of sass in her and im p sure this will piss more than one or two people off in time

drinking buddies - the woman owns a club, she likes a drink, need i say more?
