Nico Minoru was a relatively normal goth teenager until she and several of her childhood friends accidentally witnessed their parents performing a human sacrifice. With the help of the Staff of One, stolen from her own mother, Nico and the other Runaways managed to defeat their parents. They were then forced to quickly mature into full superheroes by the resulting power vacuum in Los Angeles.
After leading a somewhat normal teenage life, Karolina Dean and her classmates discovered their parents were part of an evil organization that sacrificed teenagers to gods to create a utopia. After shutting down the organization, the group forged their own bizarre family, doing their best to move forward into the future, even if their past manages to keep up with them wherever they go. Despite the hiccups and constant teen drama, Karolina uses her Majesdanian powers to make the world a better place. As long as she has Nico, her friends, and the sun in the sky, Karolina always finds a way to shine bright!
